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］

My community life
I have been working part time since I was 18 years old. And I can get connected with communities through working. I haven't been working at the same place all the time. I have changed my part-time job for a couple of times. I'm going to introduce what I have done.
First one, I was in highschool and about to graduate. I had been already finished with the entrance examination of the university and had a plenty of free time after school. So I decided to start, very first time in my life, woking. I chose to work at a restaurant in my neighborhood. It was a Korean restaurant. I was a waiter there. I had to talk and communicate with so many people in one day. I always have to be polite and carefle not to offend customers' feelings no matter how busy I was. It was sometimes very difficult because there were so many different kinds of people with different thoughts. Some people may be upset about things I will never be upset about. Some people could be very sensitive and picky while some people could be very friendly and generous. You have to make every customers satisfied by your service. That's what they said. At first I didn't understand this idea. But I eventually I learned that's about being professional. I worked at the restaurant for 3 years.
The next one, I started it when I was 20. I was still working at the first restaurant but I needed more money so I decided to have two part-time jobs. This one was a horse restaurant. It was located on Shimo-tori. Horse meat dish is onen of Kumamoto's specialities so many people from outside Kumamoto came to the restaurant. There were once costomers from Italy. They saw the home page of the restaurant and came Kumamoto to eat horse meat. They came there 2 nights straight. Horse meat is expensive. People came to the restaurant were rich. I had oppotunities to talk with such rich people and foreigners through this job. It was very interesting.
Now I work part time at a drugstore near my house. It is not restaurant so it is different from what I have done before. I have less opportunites to talk to the customers than the two jobs I had before. I sometimes feel it's boring. But I just started it so maybe I should stay and see for a while. [408 words]

Back from Bangkok
Today I saw my friend I hadn't seen for 6 months. He went to Bangkok to study English and now he's on holidays so he came back temporarily. I was surprised when I saw him because I didn't know he was back. He looked a little different. He looked more Thai to me. He said people sometimes think he is Thai and talk to him in Thai in Bangkok. He also said he lost his weight. Maybe that's why he looks different. He said it's fun to be in Bangkok. He also has traveled some islands. Thailand is one place I always want to visit. Hopefully, I will go there before he finishes school there. I asked him to show me some pictures but he didn't have any on him then. It was very good to see him unexpectedly today. ［140 words］

A letter from Perth
Today, when I got back home from school, I saw there was a big white envelope on the table in the kitchen. And it signed my name on it. I felt excited because I seldom receive any letters from anybody. I picked up the letter and checked whom it was from. I was really surprised when I saw the name on the back of the envelope. It was from my English teacher in junior high school. I haven't seen or heard from her for almost 7 years and suddenly got this letter.
The letter said that she now lives in Perth with her Australian husband for three years. I was glad to know that she still remembers me having had many many students after I graduated the junior high school. It's been already 7 years since after I graduated junior high school and it makes me feel old. Anyway, I'm going to have to write her back with some pictures. It was such a heartwarming surprise for me. The highlight of the day. [186words]

"Hairspray"
I watched a movie today. I watched "Hairspray". It's musical. It's fun and energetic and lots of dancing and singing. I really liked it. I felt like I wanna dance after the movie.
I was surprisd to see John Travolta played a mother. He dressed like a woman and he(she) sang and danced in the movie. It was a little creepy for me at first but I became used to it. He was good.
The story about a girl who is passionate about singing and dancing. She dreams about being on the TV show she watches every week. She auditioned for the show and her dream came true. She's fat but she can dance and sing very well.
I think everybody would like this movie. I recommend you watch it too ［140 words］

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]
