It is good for study English.

Terrible Cold

I caught a cold since yesterday. I have a pain in a throat. And a cough does not stop. Yesterday I had part-time job. I am waitress. But my voice didn't come up. It is too bad. Today, I bought a cold medicine. I took a medicine, now my cold was gradually cured. I will get well tomorrow.

Rainy Season

I hate rainy season, because my hair is not gathered up. When rainy day, I don’t feel like going out of the house. I always stay in my house. I prefer fine day than rainy day. Heavy rain falls almost every day recently. In particular in Kumamoto, there is heavy rain. I want it to be fine early.

Book Review 1-09

I read ' New Yorkers'. This is an old story. A lot of people living ordinary lives in New York at the beginning of this cantury. New York changes greatly, but people are much the same. Some are rich, some are poor, some are happy, some are sad, some have found love, some are looking for love. The book is written for various New Yorker.

Book Review 1-08


I read ' Too Old To Rock and Roll'. When I found the book in library, I thought 'This book looks interesting!!'. Because the man in the books cover. I decided to rent the book.

Book Review 1-07


I read 'Alice's Adventures in Wonderland'. It's Japanese name is ' Fushigino kunino Alice'. Maybe, you have read this book.

It is strange story. Alice falls down the rabbit-hole and into Wonderland. She met a lot of people in there. Cheshine Cat appers in the book. I like this cat.

Actually, this story was Alice's dream. This book is easy to read, because the story charms us. I recommend this book.

This is the movie which I want to watch now. The name is 'Maiko Haaan!!!'. I often hear that the movie is very interesting. And cast is gogeous. I like Shinichi Tsutsumi. His performance is good. On the day of the next holiday, I am going to watch this movie.

Shopping

I like shopping very much. On Monday, I went to Fukuoka to shopping with my friends. I was looking forward it, because all department store did sale!! Most clothes' price falls. But there were not clothes that I like.
We went to Tenjin Kore, Soraria Plaza, Mitsukoshi, Iwataya... we went to all department store in Fukuoka. I only bought sandals. If I can take a rest, I want to go Fukuoka to shopping again!!

Favorite Season

My favorite season is winter. My birthday is in winter. My birthday is Christmas Eve!! There is a lot of event in winter. There is Christmas, New Year holidays, and so on. Last Christmas I held a Nabe party with my friends. In winter, we can eat delicious nabe. I like Kimuchi Nabe. I am looking forward to come winter and Christmas. In New Year Holidays, I can get a New Year's present from my relative. It is Japanese culture. I think it is nice culture. And I like cold than hot. I hate heavy hot, because I dislike that I sweat.

Teacher

I think teacher of Kumamoto Gakuen University is very kind. They should be busy every day, because they have to check students report, they must study their subject, there is a lot of thing they have to do. But the teacher is always smiling. It is great!! Especially my Writing teacher is always smiling. I like him. He is kind and interesting.  

5th Essay Roman Holiday

I’d like to introduce my favorite movie. The movie’s name is ‘Roman Holiday’. I think everyone has seen the movie. You know, the movie is very famous.
When I was a high school student, I saw this movie for the first time. I was so surprised, because the movie is perfect.

The story is romantic. The princess in Europe falls in love with the pressman. They go sightseeing in the showplace in Rome. I like the story, but I love scenery in the movie. There is the scenery of beautiful Rome. My best place is Fontana di Trevi(Trevi no Izumi). There is a legend that if you throw out the coin in the fountain, you can come to Roma again. It is romantic!! In spring vacation, I went to Italy, and I went to Fontana di Trevi. My dream came true. I want to go to Rome again.

Audrey Hepburn speaks beautiful English. She speaks as if she is a true aristocracy. I like her English. I’d like to speak English like her. She is charming. She is beautiful so as to charm people. She is a person of my yearning. This movie will be handed down for a long time hereafter.
I recommend this movie.
