Bookreviews1-7 "Masie and the Dolphine"

This story was very beautiful. The main character is named Maisie and she lives in the Bahamas with her parents who are doctor and grand father. In the story, you can see oceans and beaches at lot. It made me want to go to the Bahamas.

Maisie is thirteen years old. She lives near the beach. One day, she saw a dolphin hit by a boat driven by American. She took the dolphin to her parents and they took care of it. The dolphin recovered at Maisie’s house and she named it Ben.

The American who owns the boat was an acquaintance of Maisie’s father’s. He wanted to build a hotel so was offering Maisie’s father 200,000 dollars for the estate. His hospital was very small so he wanted to think about it. Maisie knew and was unhappy about it.

Ben liked Maisie very much. Ben ate only food Maisie feed him. But now he’s fine, they had to let him go. Maisie was very sad. Maisie and her grandfather went to release him to the ocean. Maisie cried but after they let him go, he came back. He seems to tell Maisie to follow him. She jumped into the water and followed Ben. Ben led Maisie to a little box under the water. She found lots of gold in it.

Using the gold, they modeled the hospital and turned down the American’s offer. Then can always live there because of the gold.

I like oceans and beaches so I liked this story. The Bahamas must be a beautiful place. I wish I could live somewhere like that someday.
This story reminded me of “Shitakiri Suzume”. It’s about an old guy who saved an injured sparrow. The sparrow comes back to the old guy and brings him a lot of money and reward. Dolphin is very smart and friendly animal. I want to swim with one someday.　　[317 words]

Dinner at Go Go Rock

My friend called and asked me out to dinner at 6 pm.
It was so sudden. Although I knew that she had much expectations of I would say yes, I still had to say no because my wallet has been completely empty since I went Singapore in this summer. She sounded shocked when I refused but she didn't give up. She even said that she would treat me 100% to the dinner. I was a little scared as I wondered what happened to make her want alcohol that much. Anyway, I was in.

Me and Yoshimi met on my previouse part-time job. We used to work together for about 2 years. She's 1 year younger than me and studying to become a nurse. She's just finished her internship at a hospital so she wanted to celebrate it with someone. All of her friends were unavailable on that day so she decided to call me as the final option. She is always too honest with me.

We went to the place called "GoGoRock" which we found on Hot Pepper, the coupon magazine. We went with all-you-can-eat past & pizza course. We ate 3 kinds of pasta and 2 kinds of pizza which made us both too full to move out. It was a bit challenging to eat 3 pasta and 2 pizzas but they all tasted good. The restaurant has unique interior decorations and big TV to show some Hollywood movie. It's a fun place to go. [239 words]

"Brave One"

I watched a movie yesterday. Its title is "Brave One". I liked it very much but it made me think.The story is about a woman who lost her boyfriend. Her name is Eryka and her boyfriend was rubbed and killed by thugs in a park. Eryka was with him then so she was also assaulted and sent to hospital. She was unconscious for 3 weeks and when she woke up, her boyfriend had passed already. She was shocked. She didn't know what to do.

Some days later, she bought a gun illegally in Chinatown. She had it in her bag all the time. Another day, she was in a store buying a drink. A guy came in there and shot the woman at the cashier. There was no one else except Eryka in a store. She was surprised and scared at first but she used her gun and killed that guy. She ran away. She felt she became someone else after she killed the guy. She needed to become someone else to get over her boyfriend's death. She started to walk around the city at night and kept killing people. But only bad people. She felt alive by killing bad guys in the city.

There was a cop who investigated the homicides Eryka committed. He knew Eryka before he started to work on the cases. He had no idea who did this murders but he became suspicious more about Eryka as the investigation progressed. In the end He was sure that Eryka did kill those guys and Eryka was trying to kill the thugs who killed her boyfriend. The cop didn't stop or arrest her. He let her kill the guys. And the movie finished.

I thought the ending was very controversial. Some people would think it is wrong to let her go. I think so too. But I enjoyed this movie. It is a good movie.

"My favorite places"

I like traveling very much. I like visiting somewhere I’ve never been to before. And I have been to many places inside and outside Japan. Among those places, I’m going to introduce the three of my favorite places. Two of them are in Japan, Kamakura and Okinawa, and the other is in US which is San Antonio, Texas.

I visited Kamakura for the first time this summer. My sister just moved to Kamakura from Yokohama so she invited me to her new house during the summer vacation. Both Kamakura and Yokohama are in Kanagawa prefecture which is close to Tokyo, the capital of Japan. Kamakura is a very old city with a long history and you can see that as you walk around the city of Kamakura. It has many temples and shrines all over so I went to see some of them. It also has small modern cafes, shops and bars stands along the streets. It has a mixture of history and modern culture in the city and I love the unique atmosphere. It’s quiet, relaxing, quaint and fashionable. Kamakura is the city which contains good elements of both the old tradition and the new fashion at the same time.

Okiniwa is another favorite place to visit. I went there for the first time when I was in junior high as a school trip. But it was November and it had already been getting colder. And the
weather wasn't really good the whole time I was in Okinawa so I couldn't experience the best of Okinawa that time. I really found how amazing Okinawa was last summer. I went there with my friends and stayed for a few days in summer vacation. The weather was fantastic everyday during I was in Okinawa. The oceasn was incredibly beautiful. I spent all day hanging out at the beach so I got tanned no like before. The food is another reason why I like Okinawa. Soki-soba is Okinawan noodles and it's really good and my favorite. Once you arrived in Okinawa, you would feel like you're in somewhere outside Japan. You will feel very happy and welcomed by the island. You can escape from life in reality and forget your stress. Okinawa is such an attractive place.

San Antonio is the third favorite place to introduce. When I was 16 and 17, I was an exchange student in San Antonio, Texas. I went to school called St. Anthony Catholic High School for one year. I have so many memories about San Antonio. In San Antonio, you will hear many Spanish everywhere in the city as well as English. San Antonio faces the border between US and Mexico, so there are many Mexican people live in San Antonio. They have Spanish radio station, Spanish TV program, and delicious Mexican food. At my school, at least 50 % of the students were Mexican or Mexican American. They sometimes talk to each other in Spanish. The school had Spanish class and many students were taking it. I used to hangout with friends from the dormitory where I stayed the whole time during I was in San Antonio. We often went to movies and a shopping mall together in the weekend, and played pool and watched TV at the dorm. San Antonio has a tourist attraction called “River Walk” in its downtown. It’s an artificial small river and has many restaurants and bars and souvenir shops along the river. It’s a very beautiful place with colorful booths, music from bars and many people from all over the world.

I have introduced my three favorite places. First, Kamakura, I like its atmosphere. Second, Okinawa, I like it because it makes me feel as if I’m in a totally different world. And lastly, San Antonio, I have many special memories of spending my 16 and 17 of life there. They’re all my favorite places. I would like to visit there once again or even more. I would also like to visit more places and find more to be my favorites. [641words] [total 5116words]

Book Reviews 1-6 "The elephant man"

The story is set in 19th centry London. This guy was called Elepahnt Man because he was very ugly. His skin was brown and came down. He looked like an elephant. He was usually locked in a store and people could see him for 2 pences. One day, Dr.Hedrick found teh store and got in to see the elepant man. He was very surprised because the elephant man was very ugly. He diceded to take him to his hospital and examin his body.
He coudln't talk well. Dr. Hedrick could bearly understand what he was saying but he could tell he was a nicehearted man. Dr. Hedrick invited him to live in his hospital so that he wouldn't be tretaed as a thing in the store. The doctore let him read many books and meet many people.
In the end, the elepant man died because he dropped from the bed from head. He broke his neck and died alone.

I thought Elephant man is a poor guy. At begging, he was treated so bad in the store. He always missed his mother who he didn't know where is now. I felt he might have a ugly face and body but his heart is very beautiful. First time he was introduced to a girl by Dr. Hedrick, he cried. Every girls who had ever seen him was scared and screamed but this girl shook his hand and smiled so he was very happy. It is very sad he died in the end of the story but I think he was very happy.

MSN

I have a friend studying in Vancoucer, Canada. We're very good friends so we still have contacts by emailing and chatting. He once suggested me to buy a microphone so that we can talk free on the messenger. Messenger is a software you use for chat. I wasn't really interested at first but I eventually bought it today and talked to him for the first time. It was really exciting! I couldn't believer it was free because it's exactly like using a phone. Phone costs some but messenger doesn't. It was amazing. I felt like he was here with me but he is actually very far in Canada. It was kind of odd. Thanks to the technology, I would try to call another friend in Australia tomorrow. [127words] [total 4214words]

My this New Year

This new year, I went to a shrine to earn some money. I stood up by the stand of masks and sold them. I was pretty surprused by the fact that one mask costed 1000 yen. But the most surprising thing to me was that people still bought it. There were many kinds of characters of masks for kids there. I didn't recognize the most of them and I felt old. Unbelievably, just one Doraemon's mask was sold out of ten. Doraemon was the most popular character when I was a kid but now it can make only one mask. The mask which was sold the most was some girl's pink warrior thing I didn't even know the name.

It was very cold outside. I had to be there for 24 hours. It was the hardest job I've ever had in my life. Just standing by the stand alone, I felt the time passed so slowly so I started to observe peopel in shrine. When they pass by my palce, all the kids get attracted to the masks. The most paernts didn't want to buy it so tried to distract their kids' interest. I found it very funny.
I won't do this job next year because it was very hard. Next year, I want to stay in the house and relax on the new year's day. [224words]

UNIQLO

Today I went to UNIQLO with my sister. My sister now lives in Fukuoka but came back for this weekend. You may all know but UNIQLO is a clothing shop. It’s cheap and good. We went there by car and shopped. I bought a black long sleeve T shirts and grey sweat shirts. I liked them very much. They were simple and comfortable. What I like about UNIQLO is its design and price. The design is very simple and fits any style and you can get them at very reasonable price. [86 words]
