BR1-05: Why the Sea is Salty

Long ago, the sea wasn't salty like it is today. (p. 3)

This is a tale from Korea. I read this book because I like Korea. I found the reason why the sea is salty. I want to go to the sea in the summer. I'll swim and play with sand. When I swim at the sea, my body float on the sea, so it is easy to swim. But I don't like to swim at the sea because it is painful if I have the water of the sea in my eye. It is fun to play beach volleyball and fireworks. I look forward to the summer.

BR1-04: The Town Mouse and the Country Mouse

 There was once a little brown country mouse. (p. 2)

I don't like mice, but the mice are very cute. I had known this story, so I read this book. I think both living country and living a town have good points. I live in country and it is inconvenience. There are not stores or the station near my house, so I have to go to there by a car. On the other hand, there are blessed with nature. I can see many fireflies in front of my house at this time of the year. It is very beautiful. I want to live a city just once, but I like country.

Best friends

First, I introduce Sena who is my best friend. She has long brown hair. She is as tall as me, but slimmer than me. Her legs are like Shojozidai. I want to be like her. She often drinks cocoa and she likes chocolate. She is kind to me and very funny. She is a good listener. When I was a junior high school student, her desk was front of mine, so we became friends. We often eat dinner together and go shopping. We talked about various things until next morning last week. It was very fun. I can talk to her about everything. I will be best friend with her ever since.

Next, I introduce Yuka's best friend who is a Miyazaki university student. She is tall and cute. She has short hair. She always smile. She is very kind and she is a talkative person. She and Yuka met when they were elementary school students. They lived in the neighborhood.They went to Tokyo Disney Land last February. Yuka said it was very exciting and fun.

Discussion report: group 2

I took part in a discussion with 4 other classmates and I would like to report on the discussion. The topic for the discussion was getting the cosmetic surgery.

Keiko(no.19) disagreed with getting the cosmetic surgery because it has a lot of risks. I was terrified when she talked about the failure of the cosmetic surgery. Her English was a little difficult for me.

Ai(no.45) said makeup and clothes were easy to change, so people didn't have to get the cosmetic surgery. I was impressed with her opinion. I wanted her to talk with louder voice.

Haruna(no.47) said if people want to get the cosmetic surgery, they should think it over. It was easy to understand her opinion. I wanted to listen more her opinion.

Chie(no.37) disagreed with getting cosmetic surgery because it was very danger and it cost a lot of money. She had a lot of data, but it was a little complex.

The cosmetic surgery has a lot of risks. I don't think it is bad to get the cosmetic surgery, but we should think it over before the surgery. I will make efforts to be attractive without the surgery.

I like BIGBANG!

They are very cool!

My treasure

My treasure is my digital camera which my mother bought for me before I visited Korea. It is pink because I like pink best. I have taken many pictures since I got my digital camera. I have precious memories in it, so my treasure is my digital camera.

I took my digital camera with me when I visited Korea last summer. I stayed at a host family's house for a week. This was my first trip to Korea, so it was very exciting. I made friends with Korean people who were the same age as me. They took me to many places. I enjoyed going sightseeing and shopping. I bought cosmetics and face masks. The most enjoyable place was Lotte World. It was very fun to ride on the roller coasters. I also ate various Korean food. It was very spicy, but very delicious. My favorite Korean food was Korean nori. I bought it to take home to my family. I was sad and I didn't want to go home when I had to leave Korea. I want to go to Korea again.

I took pictures when I went to dinner meetings with my colleagues of my part-time job. I often eat dinner with them after work. I have had a part-time job in a fast food restaurant for a year. I like my colleagues and seniors. They are kind to me. I often ask their advice on my troubles. I work happily thanks to them. I will keep working till I graduate from the university.

In addition to this, I took pictures with my friends who go to this university. My digital camera, which holds a lot of memories is my most important thing. From now on I will take many pictures.

BR1-03: SMALL PIG

The small pig lives in a pigpen on a farm. (p5)

I read this book because the picture were very cute. I think that I looks like a pig, so I have to lose weight. The pig likes to sit down and sink down in mud. It is good to do something you like.I like to talk with my friends because I hate to be alone. I always want to be with my friends or boyfriend. People will notice the importance of their friends or parents when people lose them. I will consider important my parents and friends.

My favorite animal

My favorite animal is dogs, because I'm healed my heart by them, but I didn't like dogs in the past. I have been chased by a dog, when I was a child. I was very scared and I ran away frantically. I had been terrified of dogs since then. When I was a elementary school student, I got like dogs because my aunt had a dog. The dog was a shih tzu named Ru. I was terrified of her when I saw her for the first time, but Ru was quiet and very cute. I took care of her and I got like her. I had two dogs till two years ago. They were miniature dachshunds named Koko and Sakura. They were cute and I liked them, but Sakura died suddenly about two years ago. She was 6 years old. I didn't know the reason why she died. It was very sad and I cried. Sakura is living and I pet her. I want her to live a long time.
