Kaori is my sister, she is 25 years old. Her birthday is December 30th. She lives in Fukuoka now. I visited there on December 29th. We went shopping and we had our nails done by manicurist. My sister took me her favorite nail shop because I'm going to go twenty ceremony. We had a good time, we are sister but most people often say we are unlike. Actually, we think so too. I bought clothe and shoes for her. She looked happy, so I'm happy too. Now, we have a plan. That is surprise party for my parents. So we found present and bought a wallet and necklace. We will give it to my parents at their anniversary! yeah! I can't wait that time! After that, we ate dinner and drink. She had a meeting with her boy friend so I went back home. I feel lonely. Sometimes I hate her but sometimes I like her. haha
Three days ago, I sent a little box for my host family. I sent a pictre frame, a chocolate, a greeting card and birthday present for my host sister. Maybe, Minnesota is cold now. I hope that they are fine. It was first time to send anything abroad. So I was worry about it, but don't worry. Today, I got a message from my host family, it was news, they can got the box.
Now, I keep in touching with them at facebook. I want to replay more fast but I'm late always. In the message, my little host sister said "I love you" to me, I want to say too. Hereafter, I hope they don't forget me, so I keep sending e-mail and message.
I introduce about me. Let's look this couple. The man is Brad Pitt and she is AngelinaJolie. Do you know me? My birthday is June twenty-second. My constellation is Cancer. The woman who wear the pink Kimono is my mother. The man who wear the black suit is my father. The woman who wear the red kimono is my old sister. We took this picture this summer. Next, I talk about my home town. I lived in Nagasakiabout 12 years ago. Nagasaki experienced a nuclear attack before. There are many place that pray for peace now. And now, we can swim in the beautiful sea so I used to swim in Summer. Then I had black skin because I didn't use sunscreen. If you visit INASAYAMA at night, you can see beautiful night view. I live in Tamana now. What's your image of Tamana?Hot Spring? That's all? This picture is my high school. The white wall is beautiful. The fire festival is big event in Tamana. Do you know? Glenn Miller? He is famous jazz musician. There were Glenn Miler Music Festival in Tamana but now it is not. I like music and I often listen pop-music, R&B, classic. I like PINK, SUM41, The Black Eyed Peas, Adele,Avril Lavigne, Katy Perry, RADWIMPS, Rihanna and so on. I like art, this picture's woman is my friend. I took this picture in Under street. I like to play the saxophone. When I saw my sister played it, I liked that sound. The wind music club's memories are important to my life. This costume is not junior high school's, we took this picture in high school. This is my saxophone. My part-time-job place that called "Miami", I don't know why called that. The pizza, pasta and soup are so delicious! Now I practice making the coffee and cappuccino. I'm happy when the customer said to me "thank you". So I want to make yammy coffee. Thank you for listening!
My favorite TV show is Our Music. It is called BOKURA-NO-ONGAKU. The musician met a person who wanted to talk each other. In the TV show, we can listen songs that many kind of music. Sometimes, I can know something new in the TV show. For example, my favorite singer sing with other singer, this is what is called featuring, do you know it? Sometimes we can find grateful songs in it. The musicians talk not only a singer but also actor, guitarist or columnist. They have different thinking and exchange those each other. Some people may think that this TV show is not music TV program. However I think that this is real music TV show because they talk about own thinking about music. One musician said about how to sell her CD and she worried that the music trade's future. Before watching that, I didn't know that she think that, it was surprised me and I like her more.
My favorite place is my room. When my sister lived with us, I and she used same room. But now, my room is mine! The room's window curtain color is orange, my bed's cover color is yellow. Maybe you visit my room, you will receive the impression that warm. I use my desk when I have a home work or draw something. When I went to elementary school, my parent bought it to me but the desk still beautiful. In my room, there are music player, book shelf and saxophone. Everything is my treasure but memorial photos are most important for me. I often take a picture. Not only we go somewhere but also we spent as usual. I keep hold that. After the part time job, I feel my room like a heaven. Sometimes I sleep and keep make myself up. It's not good, I know that but I can't take off my make-up.
November 24, I went to eat Mexican food with Spanish class. When I went to Minnesota, I ate Mexican food but it was not good for me so I was worry about it. However, the Mexican food shop that Mr.Okamura took us was great! The restaurant was not big but the dinner's taste was good for us. We ate many kind of Mexican food. Mr.Okamura taught us Mexican food menu, for example tortilla, taco and sauce of avocado. I liked avocado sauce very much! Many department compose this Spanish class for example EIBEI, SYOUGYOU and KOKUSAI-KEIZAI. So, we have many different classes but we get along with each other in this class. After this term, maybe we will not have same class. It is sad things for me. I want to keep touch with them! Now, I can't speak Spanish well yet, but I want to talk by Spanish with Mr.Okamura! It is not easy so I want to study Spanish more.
"Cinderella!" shouted her stepmother, looking up from a letter.(p.3)
This is one of the famous story. Do you know that this story was made by Brothers Grimm? However it is not true. Long times ago, there was this original story and there are many story.
Most of girls have wanted to become like a her. Cinderella means cinder, I think the writer wanted to write about the woman who has beautiful looks and heart but people didn't find that because she was dusty. When the cinder clean, the prince find her by a kind witch and he married Cinderella. She had beautiful face, it is not the most important things. She always tried to do every things, when her step mother said impossible requests. So, her friends (in this story, mouse and birds) help her.
Her poor life makes us sad, so last happy scene makes us excited.Cinderella story which I know made by the Walt Disney Company. When I went to Minnesota, my host sister always hold Cinderella doll. I remember that. We live different country and have different culture, but we knew same story. It was interested to me, isn't it?

When I was 18 years old, I went to TAMANA high school. In fall, we studied hard everyday for the college that I wanted to go. The day was hard for us because everyday we studied on desk at our class. Woke up early and change my clothes and brought my breakfast. I went school by bicycle. After the morning classes I ate breakfast in our class and I started to clean the room. My friend often said to me "You have to eat at your house!" but it was difficult for me to do. After all classes I studied by myself in class room, then I often look outside because there were many beautiful autumn trees and I always studied by the window. Wind was not strong, I could see beautiful sunset. The light was so beautiful. My school has white wall, so the light turned the white wall into red wall. When the leaves were green, I was busy because our wind music club had important concert. I remembered that days and I felt "Time flies like an arrow". Now, I'm watching the tree in the class room at KGU with my favorite music. Not same place but I'm here and I remember that feelings. Change the season and my life changes too. In the future, I will remember feelings and then I will have another feelings. I can't guess it but it is so mystic for me. I wonder what am I thinking then.
"Kiss Me ThruthePhone" is a song from hip-hop artist Soulja Boy. When I watched the Youtue's video and find MV that I like. Then I find this Musig Video. His voice is cool. So I like his songs. I put this song on my music audio (walkman). When I listen, I wait for that song because I always use that mix mode. When tit played I'd sing alone. It made me happy. This Lyrics are so cute, do you know? He say, I just wanna kiss you but I can't right now so kiss me through the phone. If my lover lives very far place, I may feel alone. I think that there are many people feel that things. His songs are pop but his words are cool. So, if you have a time, you have to check it!
My favorite high school memory is wind music club. I was belong to wind music club when I went to high school. I played an alto saxophone. Our club was weak when I joined the club the first time but we tried to work hard. Our teacher was grateful, but he didn't taught how to play the music, he taught how to express the music, for example image, feeling or like that. So we had to learn by older people or friend or myself. It is good for us, we could practice by myself. Luckily, my friends had many knowledge of music, they taught me many things. We became strong more and more. We felt that and it made us more strong. Our teacher said when before the contest that we had the last, if you can't win, after that I will never win again. The words made us cry because our teacher was famous for singing, he said he didn't be interested in wind music but then, he said he likes wind music and our club. After the contest, we cried and cried because we could not win the prize but the member are my treasure. The club's members are my forever friends.
I watched this movie with a friend at the KGU library.
Honestly, this movie didn’t interest me in this story because I like High School
Musical so I didn't think for the interesting movie. However, the songs were
cool and Mitchie's (Demi Lovato) voice
and Shane's (Joe Jonas) voice were great. In this
movie, there are many young people who want to become a professional
musician. They love music and try to win the Final Jam that is camp’s
ceremony. Mitchie had a great voice and wants to win but she didn't have
self-confidence. Shane is a pop star but he faced a problem, he loves the music
but owner sells the CD that makes a profit. The girl chases her dream and the
boy can’t find his way in dream that he wanted. She wants to feel like a
popular people so she lies about herself.
Sometimes we feel that we are not good
people, sometimes we lack for confidence in our self. But this movie
tells us, we don't have to dress up our self and we have to
like our self more. Now, I have best friends. I feel
that I'm OK forever if they keep going with me. Whenever, I believe
that they are sure to believe me. In this movie, Mitchie was taught
it by Shane. Shane knew that she loves the music from the bottom
of her heart and he was taught by Mitchie, he loves the music too. And he tries
to sing that he want to sing.
When I was young, my teacher said that people can't live
alone. The people live with other people's help. Maybe some people thought
then, those words are out of date. But now I understand that meaning.
In my life, I might lose my way but I can find the way
if I have a friend and confidence, after watching this movie I
thought. It is not good to hide truth myself. We should open our door and
try to get more chances.
When he was young, he loved watching ships arrive from far place, and packed with precious silk and spices. Of course, I knew him before I read this book. My elementally school's library had a book about him. But I didn't know, he and Marco Polo lived same time, Marco polo was a great explorer. In this time, long sailing was too dangerous so Columbus wanted to learn all he could about the sea, he experimented with using a compass and learned the ship's position. Until he died at the age of 54, in the town of Vallodolid, in Spain, he kept loving a sailing and the sea. However I heard that he did slave trade and killed many slaves. It was not good things. As time goes by, law is changing but I think that he and his army had to keep Indian's rights. So, I don't like him.

When I went to the high school, I went there by bicycle. Then I often see the people who went to school by train because my house was near by station. They always went to school with many friends and looked happy. But I often went only one, so I often said my friends "I want to go by train and go with Friends." Most people said it is not collect, it is not convenience.
Now, I go to college by train, and think train is not good way to go school because we always have to be care about time. A train dose not wait for us, they can not be late the time. If JR company can listen my opinion, there are many things. When I went to high school, I and my friends thought that we can meet a nice guy in the trains but it is not collect too.
However, if we don't have the train in this world. It cause a problem for our life, maybe many people can't live without the train. In 1712, using steam train was born. That was surprised for the people. Now I complain about it but I use it everyday. So, we need it everyday.

Long, liong ago, there was no rubbish on Earth. (p.3)
After the time that humans came, their wast was harmless too. The first humans were always hunting animals and gathering berryies. They used all of them and didn't wast. However, we wast many things now. It is problem for us and our Earth.
In this story said that, long ago, toilet wast was a problem. The people wasted their toilet pot from a window onto the street below. It is shocking story. So, people used to say "Gardy loo" that came from the French for "Watch out for the water", but this water was worst! In 1297, a law ordered everyone to keep their front door clear of rubbish in British. Sometimes the rubbish made people's health bad, the "Black Death" reached England in 1347, about thirds of the people died in London.
However, now, people wast many stuff that can use. In the study, all the steel cans used in Britain and Ireland each year were placed and to end, would reach to the Moon and back three times! Can you believe it? We have to bring our clothes, shoes, books and toys to charity shops and sold again. It is good way for them. We can use many stuff more and we have to do it.

My favorite fruit is apple, because it is so sweet and it has many way of how to eat. Maybe some people image an apple pie but I hate it, I don't like baked an apple. However my father likes an apple pie very much, so my mother used to make it. When I was tired, I want to eat an apple or drink apple juice. Then, I always buy the apple juice can by the vending machine in front of my part time job shops. Sometimes my mother buy it for me, she is so kind mother. I like an apple jam too. Recently, in speaking class, we made CM about our original shops. Mr.Tomei said we can make our favorite food restaurant. We decided to produce the original apple pie. We talked about our favorite material and made a menu about it. It was so excited time.
I woke up at six o'clok and worked today, I made many cup of coffee at the local festival place. However, it was rainy day today so my owner said "Let's stop selling today" but I and my friend wanted to sell our coffee. We knew that there were a little customer but we decided to open the shop. Many people came our shop and bought some cup of coffee and talked a lot of things, it was good time for me. They said that the coffe's taste was good, especially today was cold day.
In addition, KUMAMONN ( it is famous a mascot character in KUMAMOTO) came there. So, people came to watch him in the after noon. Of course, I took a picture with him! haha I could have time to spend with local people, and I could see many smiles, it was wonderful time. I think it was very precious to me. Next year, my shop will open at same festival, if I have time, I want to join it.

I went to FUKUOKA with Remi, Hanayo and Yurika two weeks ago. We wanted to go an aquarium ( we call the aquarium, marine world) but we don't have a time so we went to shopping in TENJIN! I went there by train with Yurika, Remi and Hanayo went threre by bus! We ate lunch and started shopping! Walking ling time, we were so tired but we talk a lot of things. I bought many things, for example hat, skirt and shoes! We can meet at the school but we don't have same class, so the time was precious. Now we plan new travel, we are going to go NAGASAKI (this place is my old place). I can not wait that. We often say that if you want to go there, we should do our home works! Let's do it!!
November 2, I went to Star Bucks at KAMI street because I had to meet my friend, Kana and Yukina. We had a plan that celebrated Ayaka's birthday. Our surprise plan was perfect. First, we made many stuff for example, original Uchiwa ( like a fun) at the shop. We could not stop talking about Ayaka. Next, Kana visited Ayaka's house only one and she talked with Ayaka, for our plan. We wanted to keep a secret!! I called her and said Ayaka that I am so busy this week so I can't meet with you before your birth day. I'm sorry." of course this words were a lie. However I and Yukina stayed near the her house and after that we visited there! She was surprised, because she thought only Kana visit there that day. It was so excited to us! We succeeded in that plan!
We ate dinner and talked a lot of things. We got pizza and paella delivery it was so delicious! After that we wore Ayaka's clothes and went to take a PURIKURA (like a picture) by bicycle. Her clothes are pretty and she has a sense of dress. The time was great. It was first time to go the city by bicycle! We went to same middle school and high school and were belong to same brass club but now, we can not meet every day. So we celebrate our birthday every year. We are best friend forever, we hope so and it will be sure. I had many memories with AIKY. When I feel deep sad, I become to want to talk them. They are like a family, I think so. They are important for my life. Thank you AIKY member, I can't find the words that express my feeling, I love you guys. I'm happy because my friends are wonderful. I'm happy because I can spend wonderful times with them.
My favorite book's name is
The Giving tree. When I went to high school, my father gave it to me, he said
this book is famous in America and latest book in Japan. First I just see the
book cover and thought it is just picture book for young children, but it was
fault. The big tree talked what is the true meaning of love but the book don't
tell us the right answer, we have to consider it by myself. After reading, my
father asked the impressions. It was not easy for me because I thought I could
understand the big tree's feeling but I could not say that behavior is good for
the boy. Giving something and getting money is happy? What was important to him
last time? Maybe, this question is difficult for us. When I face death, we may
understand the answer.
I thought the little man is so mean but I don't like the king more than little man because he wanted much money and wanted to be a rich man. In this story, a clever girl lived happy but I hate him! He used her father, of course the miller should not tell a lie but the king missed a lot of things. After reading, I talked about this book with my friend and then she said same thing too. She hate the king too!
In this story the king said "Turn straw into gold" she put her head in her hands and cried. Then appear the little man. His name is Rmpelstiltskin, very difficult name. This is key word!! I think that the clever girl was lucky girl, if the little man didn't appear maybe her father will die for telling lies. That's too bad. So, she was happy. However I don't like this story!
My favorite flower is
Kasumisou (English name is baby's breath, it is good name!), do you know it?
Their flower was so beautiful. My grandfather and grandmother used to produce
and sell it that is why I like it. Baby's breath is pure white color, they often
use supporting things. So some people don't know that how beautiful this flower
is. When I was child, I often help my grandfather and grandmother's jobs. Wake
up early and open the hothouse, they were pleased and it made me happy too.
When I see this flower, I remember that memory. My grandmother said to me,
"Beautiful flower need help, Kasumisou was need by many flowers. It makes
them more beautiful." I learned it is important to support other people.
Now, my grandfather and grandmother were gone but I remember them with the
Kasumisou.
He is my friend Joe, he is 25 year old. He is American, he has two brothers. He is latest baseball teacher in elementary school and he is my sister's friend. My cousin is taught by him! She said he is good teacher!
His eyes are bright blue, like a clear sky so beautiful. When I have a problem, always he hear that, he is kind.
Sometimes he and my sister go to the restaurant with me but he is not my sister's boy friend! My sister has boy friend!! I heard my sister and he was classmate when they went to middle school. However I don't know, why they are good friend.
This is one of the picture that used in speaking class.
My favorite dessert is ice cream, it is made of milk, cream and sugar, sometimes combined with fruits or flavors. I like Baskin Robbins (31 ice cream company), do you know it? The shop has many kind of ice creams, for example pumpkin, cola or apple pie like that! It is awesome! I like to eat it in winter. I eat ice cream at the KOTATSU the best. Of course, I like to eat in summer too. Now, I go part time job and sometimes I make a dessert and I see many ice cream. Then I want to eat! Just between you and me, I eat it when the owner go outside. I want to eat ice cream every day but I know that it is not good for my health. Winter is coming soon, my ice cream time start!
The fat panda's name is Po, he is fan of the Furious Five and Kung Fu. His dream is becoming like the Furious Five but he works in a noodle shop with his father. Po did not say that he liked Kung Fu to his father because his father wants Po to run the noodle shop. He didn’t want a life of only selling noodles. Po is kind so he could not say that but it is right? Nobody knows that. Po hates his life, he wanted to change himself. When he worried about the future, Master Oogway said that you are too concerned with what was and what will be. I like this line. I’m worry about my life and sometimes I can’t understand what is the right way for me. Oogway kept saying that “yesterday is history and tomorrow is a mystery but today is a gift. That is why it is called the present.” I watched this movie with friend, without realizing it, we nodded! How nice this line is! When I am concerned too much, I often want to cry but is it fun? The answer is No. I felt that if I believe myself, I can have a stronger heart. Maybe, the movie staff wants to tell us about it. In the last action scene, Po realized the true meaning of strength. There is nothing in the secret note, just can see our own face. The secret that everyone wants to know was simple things. We already have it and we didn’t notice yet. We just believe our self. Po doesn’t have strong muscle, sharp fangs, long arms and legs. But he became strong.
Believing in myself is difficult for me now, but someday I want to like myself. Then I will get like his strong heart. Too many comparisons with other people is not good, you have better things in yourself. I learned from this movie. Po is the real Dragon Warrior. I want everyone to watch this movie. After watching, maybe they will get something. [348 words]
I don't like brand things but I know some famous brand name. Gucci is one of the famous brand and everyone know it. The company made Italian design and fashion around the world. Guccio Gucci was born in Italy. I was surprised because he could speak English, French and German. He wanted to sell leather products so he bought little shop and started selling beautiful leather products. Do you know the Gucci lines of green/red/green came from the design of a horse's saddle. I knew by this book! People liked these products because they were different and strong. Gucci became more and more famous so they moved a store to Roma but sometimes there were fight in the family. Paolo was Guccio Gucci's grandchild, he left the Gucci company and started a new company. He used PG, didn't use GG logo. After Guccio died, Gucci overcome many problems. Now it is impossible to hold big fashion show without Gucci. Everyone know Gucci but only a few people know about their history. Gucci is growing up still.
My favorite movie star is Angelina Jolie, do you know her? She is American and she is the daughter of actors Jon Voight. He appeared with her in Tomb Raider. When I watched at the first, I did not know he is real father! She is belonging to UNHCR and keeps giving much money for poor country or group with her lover, actors Brad Pitt. The couple donated the proceeds to the Jolie-Pitt Foundation. They don't be married. He said that they would marry when everyone in America is legally able to marry. Pitt appeared with her in Mr. and Mrs. Smith, I like this movie. Angelina is so beautiful, sexy and gracefully in movie. Her eyes have strong light, her lip is red and sexy. However, people say she is like a Mary when she smiles. It is another side.
In the early 1900s, there were no passenger planes.(p.5)
Probably, most of people know Titanic. It still sleeps in the sea. Some people still dream of raising the Titanic from the sea bed but the ship is so big, it would be impossible.
Recently, I watched the television and the comedian talk about rumor. We don't know, the story is true or not but there are many interested story. One day, a comedian talked about Titanic and he said that "Titanic did not sink, if I say it is true, can you believe it?" I couldn't believe it, because we learned that Titanic sank in the sea by famous movie -TITANIC- performed with Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet. We heard the ship scraped along the side by Iceberg, but he said it was not Titanic, that was Olympic. If I write this story here, maybe it takes a long time so I don't write. If you want to know, let's check it.
After that I want to know about Titanic more so I choose this book. Winter will come soon, the leaves have changed color, let's read book. I try to read more. If you are not interested in book, first you should look for interesting things. Everything is ok, let's read a book.

I like summer because I like Sundays. When I get up early, I feel good. Do you know that if you bathe in the sun, your body becomes more cheerful? Sunshine in summer is good treatment for people. However, it is not good to get much sunshine. In summer, I want to go swimming. When I was young, I used to live in NAGASAKI. There are many place can swim. My parents took us there, and we swam and sometimes we went a swimming pool. So, when summer coming, our skin became black. After the swimming, we used to eat ice cream, the time was great. Every summer vacation was happy days for me. But I did not like vacation's home works. Every year, I did it last day of summer vacation. I think many people experienced that. So, I hated summer only that day!
I knew this movie because I had watched it before, this movie was good for my family. First I felt Dewey Finn was not a good person, he didn’t have a job, every day he just plays the guitar and lives with his friend so I could not think he is a good man. I could understand that he loves music. One day he told a lie, went to school and he got a job as a substitute teacher. Of course he didn't have a license! He was not interested in children and teacher, he wanted money for living. However his mind was changed, when his student were playing in music class, he thought they can play rock music and join the Battle of the Bands. In the
battle, Dewey wants to win and it's his dream. So, he just loves music.
The students of this movie are so cute and cool. They believe his words and practiced hard. I heard they were good musician so didn't use stand in musicians but they play themselves in this movie. Sometimes bad things happened, but they overcame them. First, Dewey taught about music for his class but the student taught him about more important things. They taught Dewey that it is important to try everything, these words
was said by Dewey. Through music, they learn many things. Your personality is important, Dewey said. Study is not only desk work.
I think that people has another character, sometimes your parents do not know about that. Their parents didn't know that they have sense of music. Maybe my mother and father don't know my life in school, it is true. I know my mother wants to know about my life but I don't tell her about it. However, after I watched, my mind was changed. We are family so we should talk more. As we grow up, our conversation fades out. It is not a good thing. I try to share information with my family. Now, I heard there is "School of
Rock 2". I'm going to watch it.
Thousands of years ago, there were no ships or boats.(p.3)
Now, we can cross rivers and seas. Long long times ago, there were no ships, of cause boats. People could not cross rivers so noticed logs that floated on water. But it was not good idea, because it was difficult to balance on it. Some people tied logs together to make a raft but they were hard to move along. They found many ideas and tried. The first great sailors lived on islands in the South Pacific. There were many kind of shape, Egyptians ship, Greeks ship, Romans ship and Chinese ship. chinese sailors invented the compass, it was amazing! About 10 years ago, my family lived in Nagasaki. We often visited my grandfather and grandmother's house. So we often took a ship, needed it. Now, we can't live without ships. We need ships in our life. We have to thank them who developed ships.

After that she spent without her father but she was happy but suddenly she heard her father died. Everything in Sara's life changed.

I read this book, I felt that family's love is strong and love makes people storong. Sara didn't cry she always be kind and smile, she was like a real princess. Sometimes people have big problem in own life but I want to keep smile and don't give up.
I knew this story because this story was famous and recentry it broadcast on TV. So, I try to read it.

My favorite instrument is Alto saxophone. Sound of saxophone is cool, sexy and beautiful. When I was 13 years old, I played it first time. Then I could not play but I remember I was so excited. My old sister can play it too and she is a good player.

Now, sleepy midnight. Only I'm here. I just hear a newspaper carrier sound. Can I sleep until 6 o'clock?
My favorite movie is Sister Act, do you know it? This story is American comedy movie and has many good songs. These songs were arranged, almost the bases is hymn. My family like this movie's series and we have all. There are many unique people in it, especially Whoopi Goldberg has great voice but I like Wendy Makkena's voice. ( but it is not true voice, Andrea Robinson sang.) There are 2 version, but I like first story more than second. Her performances are not formal, sometimes they sing like a pop music, I wonder at this performances are permitted in America? Maybe, this movie created in 1992 so I was one years old but I still watch it.
Yesterday, we had to introduce myself in speaking class, but this introduction was unusual because we introduced new our self. We chose my new name, country, job, hobby and so on.

I watched one of Disney's movies, Toy storyb1 and this movie is one of my favorite movies too. When this movie started, we were surprised because this movie uses CG. Woody is the leader of Andy's toy, Andy likes Woody and Woody likes him too. They spent many times and Andy gave love to Woody but Andy's mother gave a present to Andy on his birthday, which is Buzz Lightyear. He is so cool for Andy because Buzz is the latest hero toy and everybody wants to have this toy. Woody is jealous of Buzz and an accident happened. Buss and Andy fight each other everyday but step by step, they become like a friend.
After I watch this movie, I wondered if I use everything important now? When I was a child, my mother and father bought everything for me I needed (sometimes they said no). So I use things that are important for a long time but recently I can get money by myself and buy something new whenever I like. I don't know if it is good or bad, but I thought my things may feel sad if I don't use it more important than before. Becoming
an adult, I have to do almost everything by myself but sometimes I lost something while not knowing. It is too sad. My mother often said me "Use more important things because they have feeling. If you lost something, you have to try hard to find it and do your best. You can't find it yet, maybe they allow losing." So we have to remember words that mother or father said when we were children.
Andy is a good boy, he loves his toys. Woody and Buzz looks very happy. Now getting
something new is easy but we shouldn't forget. When I become a mother, maybe I will tell my children the same words. I wish they remember that someday.

My family like Audrey Hepburn, Audrey is beautiful woman and grateful actress,she is a famous actress. However her life was not easy, after I read this book, I like her more than before.
When she was young, liked dancing and music so she wanted to be a dancer. But one day the ballette school told her, 'You will never be a famous dancer. You are too tall.' when she was seventeen years old. Audrey was sad, but it was time to change her life. Somebody remembered her from the ballet school, and gave her a small part in London musical. About three thousand girls tried to get the part, but the producers wanted Audrey. Day by day, she became a famous dancer. Everybody liked this girl with the pretty face and smile.But some people didn't like her, there were some reason, for example Audrey's friend Holden hate Bogart, so Bogart was unfriendly to Audrey too. And some man loved her, but she saw the right man or not.
She made many movies in her life, and she met many lovers but she was always strong and beautiful. It keeps our mind forever.
Today, I went to my grandfather and grandmother's house in KIKUCHI, my grandmother died two years ago, and my grandfather died three month ago, then I went to MINNESOTA. I hear that mid night by SKYPE. I cried, cried and cried. My parents knew that his life is dangerous, but they said you should go MINNESOTA, because they knew I worked hard for this program. I said my grandfather when I leave Japan, “please wait for me, I bring many memories for you!” I smiled but it was hard to keep. I wanted to see again, talk a lot of things with him and I hoped so. I hear that sad news, I said sorry to my mother (he was my mother's family), she said “You should not say that, you enjoy your life in MINNESOTA.” I'm proud of my family. I couldn't say my happen to my friends but I said to a few friends, they supported me. Not only them and also other friends. They are my treasure. Now, there are not my grandfather and grandmother there, but it is true, that house is their house. My grandfather's brother has wife, she lives only there, because he died about five years ago too. We often visit there because of her, we don't want her to feel sad.
The family has program each other, but it is important how to overcome that. I became a little strong through my grandfather's died. Thank you my grandfather and friends who support me in MINNESOTA, I love you guys.

Not so long ago, people were stuck on the ground.(p.3) I knew about Wright brother (Wilbur an Orville) who dreams came true mans but I noticed that there are many things I don't know. Long time ago, people wanted to fly and try it but almost people couldn't do it. If I was bird, I could fly, people thought. Some people made like a birds wing and some people made attached wings to their bikes. In 1487, Leonardo da Vinci drew plans for a flying machine, did you know?
After I read this book, I felt we shouldn't afraid to miss and shy. If we can overcome something hard, maybe we can get something new, I learnd.

I like dogs and our family has a dog, his name is ROCK because he came to my house at 9 June. Can you understand why he called ROCK? He has white and brown hair and his eyes are black, his looks so cute. When we left my house, sometimes he looks so sad and whines. He came to my house about 10 years ago, and then he was very very tiny baby. My father' friend said he fined at mountain, Rock was left alone so my father's friend took him to his house. I and my old sister wanted a dog because we could live bigger house. My father and mother forgave having him. Now, we are happy with him. Thank you for coming, Rock.
I like brown boots that is I bought two years ago. That boots has high heeled but I can run with that. I want taller because I am very small girl, so I often wear that, I can become taller. Sometimes my friends say "you worry too much about it!" but I want to. However I wear sneaker too, that is comfortable for walking. In summer, I often wear that. I used different shoes for different fashion. Shoes are important for me to decide to wear clothes. So, I like shoes. When you buy your shoes, you have to consider that. If you buy not good shoes, sometimes it causes bad things for your health. So, shoes are important for you.
