W4 : My favorite movie

     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.

Movie Review 1 - Toy Story

     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.

BR2-3: Audrey Hepburn

One day, in a big house in Brussels, Belgium, a man took his daughter in his arms.(p.1)



      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.

 

     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.
