"The Squid and the Whale"

Today I was at school but I didn't have nothing to do . I was bored and didn't know what to do so I went to the library and watched a DVD. There are many DVDs you can watch at the library so I sometimes go there when I'm free.I watched the DVD of "The Squid and the Whale". This movie is about a divorce. In the beginning of the movie, parents of this family get divorce and the movie shows how the family deals with the divorce. The couple has 2 sons and they have to go back and forth their parents' houses because they decided to go joint custody. It might sounds like a depressing movie but it was somewhat casual. It takes up a serious issue but the movie itself wasn't so serious. So I thought it was good.I learned the word philistine from this movie.

The importance of lerning English

I have learned English this university. And, I have thinking about learning English.
I think that learning another language enables us to comunicate with people in a different contry and to learn more about their culuture. It also makes us realize the relativity of our own values. And I think we can realize that there are other ways of looking at reality and that there are other value systems in the world. This makes our experience of life more interesting. As we learn a new language, I think that we also discover more about our own language.

I think that speaking only one language is like living in a room with no windows or doors. It is safe, but it is dark and closed. So I think a foreign language brings new light into the room. With an elementaly knowledge, we can look out the window and see the world differently. With a deeper knowledge of the language, we can walk out of the door and explore the world in a new way. When we explore the world with a new language, we discover more of the magnificence that is in hte world. The discoveries we make add interest and wisdom to our life. So we can see that language studies can be the beginning of some wonderful adventures. So I will study English more and more from this. [229 words]

"BABE: Pig in the City"

I was free today. So I went to the library in this university. I read "BABE: Pig in the City". Did you read this book? Babe is a clever pig which works as a shepherd. He is very famous in the country. The farm in which Babe and Mr and Mrs Hoggett lives was in danger because they had to pay money for the men from a bank and if they couldn't, they would have to sell the farm. One day, Mr. Hoggett got an offer from someone to show Babe's work at the party. They will pay a lot of money for that. To save the farm, Babe went to the city with Mrs. Hoggett.

Mrs. Hoggett was misunderstood that she was carrying the drung at the airport so she had to stay in the little room with a detective and missed the next plane. She and Babe couldn't get to the city they wanted to go.

They looked for a hotel and found the Flealands Hotel. In that hotel, many animals lived. They were abondoned animals. There were chimpanzees, dogs, cats, and monkeys. Nobody knew that they were there.

I thought it was a funny story. So many different animals and happenings. Baby is very cute. ［165 words］
