BR 29 Princess Polly and the Pony

"Being a princess is boring," said Princess Polly.(p.5)


There was a princess. She liked to gallop atop her horse. Her parents dislike mudding her because she was a princess.

One day, she found a poster of a pony game. It was a dressing-up race so she decided to join the race. On the race she won the first prize but she was in a panic because her parents waited the winner and wanted to see who was the girl. Finally it came out to her parents however she got a prize for one day each week she was not to be a princess as a winner.
At all, She galloped all the way home.

I think she is a shrew girl so she did not listen to a word her parents said. However I know her mind. If I were her, I also could not stand living a boring life. I think she was a good girl so she had a right affections. This book is interesting and you are going to think of the freedom after you read this story. I think we should not be bound by the society.

My favorite place

I lived in Kumamoto about 20 years. Kumamoto has a lot of beautiful nature so there are many places to visit. I introduce some of my favorite places in Kumamoto.

First, I like Mt. Aso. This is a big mountain. There are many beautiful nature, barn animals and wild animals. When I went to drive there were a lot of cows and horses near the road. It was surprised for me. Then Mt. Aso has a lot of hot springs. It is famous for kurokawa all of Japan. However it was just a local place about 15 years ago. In addition, there are a lot of delicious foods at there. It made from the clean water or vegetables of Mt. Aso.I recommend you milk soft-serve ice cream. You would be lose if you don't try it when you go to Mt. Aso.

Second, Amakusa is a good place in Kumamoto. There are also beautiful nature. Amakusa is famous for the sea and seafood. However there are some mountains. When I camped in Amamkusa, there is a mountain next to the sea so we could go to both and enjoied very much. Amakusa has good sea food. It was fresh and taste good. When you go to Amamkusa, please eat seafood and full your stomach. Amakusa is famous for Christian martyr. There are many Christians and some famous Churches at Amakusa. When you go to Amakusa, please visit there and you can study about history of Amakusa.

Finally I like my university. KGU is a great university and there are a lot of good students. They have abilities, hopes and dreams in the future. Also KGU has a good establishments. For example, the library is the best one of university in Kyushu. I was so favored in many ways. It is my vaunty alma mater. I want KGU produces quality graduates in the future. I was grown up at this school and then I want to spread my wings around the world.

If you have any interests for these places, let you go to there now. Feel how wonderful there is for visit there by yourself!!!(355/23,199)

BR 28 Arthur tricks the tooth fairy

"She takes baby teeth and leaves money," Arthur said.(p.2)

At the breakfast, Arthur said D.W. about the Tooth Fairy took him baby teeth and left a dollar under his pillow. D.W. wanted to pull her tooth and given a dollar from the Tooth Fairy. She tried to pull her tooth, but she couldn't. I think D.W. was a wise, so she had an idea to trick the Tooth Fairy. She told his brother about the plan. She was going to trick The Tooth Fairy with the shark's tooth she bought at the museum on the day. She believed in The Tooth Fairy comes to her bed at night. Arther helped The Tooth Fairy so he left a dollar under the D.W.'s pillow. I think he is a good older brother because he did not break her young sister's dream. She became happy when she got up in the early morning.

When I read this story, my heart became warmer. I want you to read this book when you lose your dream or forget your childhood. It remember you a pure heart you had at a young age. This book might be rememberd when you lost your baby teeth at the first time. You could find the feelings as a child.(221/22,844)

BR 27 Arthur and the school pet

Arthur helped D.W. carry Speedy home in his cage .(p.7)

Arthur's young sister D.W. went to school. It was a last day before Christmas vacation. She decided to bring her school pet Speedy. He was a speedy and cute hamster. Speedy got out of his cage at night. D.W. cried hardly. Finally Arthur found him at top of the tree. Speedy got out of his cage three more times so I wonder whey he got out so many times. I think it should be important to lock the key of the cage perfectly because he was smart. It was nice D.W. arrived at school with Speedy in his cage. I think there was a good lesson in this book. It is important to lock the key and establish whether it has done. If you forget to lock the key, you might lost the precious thing.

I didn't know Arthur has two sisters. He looks a good older brother for them. It was interesting, so I recommend you this book.

If you want to know about this story, let you go to the library and find this book. This book makes you fun after read it.(206/22,623)

BR 26 Arthur lost in the museum

They walked by the Hall of Dinosaurs. Arthur raised his hand again.(p.5)

One day, Arthur's class visited the museum to learn American history. The teacher went them in to the museum and tell about the history. Arthur wanted to go to the bathroom and raised his hand to ask his teacher. However his teacher did not listen his asking. Finally the teacher accepted Arthur's ask and he went to the bathroom, but he was wrong the way and entered a room showing Indians or Pilgrims. Finally he went to the bathroom and returned to his class.
I think Arthur have traveled the history of America in a short time. Maybe he felt he got on a time machine and traveled the American history. It was funny that He behaved as a Pilgrim boy. His teacher could not find the boy was Arthur.
It was good Arthur could find bath room finally. I also think it is important to do the thing what we should do ahead of time. (174/22,417)

My favorite cafe

I like to go to the cafe and read my favorite book. I go to 'St-Marc Cafe' usually. It is my rest time. There are some fresh-bread. My recommends of the cafe are chocolate croissant and butter Danish. They are crunchiness and sweet. Chocolate croissant is filled with bitter chocolate so it matches for the sweet croissant. Butter Danish is also sweet.

There are not only fresh-bread but some cakes or sandwiches. When I go to the cafe, there are a lot of people every day. They spend their time as they like. Some are talking with friends and some read a book.

I usually go to 'kamitori St Marc Cafe'. It is good cafe but there is one bad patch. The cafe does not block off the smoke of tobacco. If there is a smoker, the smoke comes to me and I also become smell bad. I hate the smoking because it can damage our health. And it can smell bad because of the smoke. I want the cafe block off the smokers in a thorough manner.

If you want to have relaxed time I recommend you to go to the cafe and read some books. Then you recover from stress.

I think it is important to have a time to think about yourself or read books by yourself. The time help you making yourself better for the future. (230/22,243)

BR 25 The Bookstore Ghost

CRASH! A book fell off a shelf. THUMP! Another book fell on the floor.(p.16)

There were a man nmed Mr. Brown. He liked ghost books, cheese, and cats. So he bought a bookstore and a black cat. His store had some mice and they scared people away. He told his cat to catch the mice, but the cat likes mice. He had a good idea. The plan was mice worked as a ghost and fell off the books in the store. People came to the store to see the ghost and the store became busy. Finally< Mr. Brown liked the mice so Mr.Brown, a black cat and mice eat cheese together.

I think the black cat had a good idea. His idea made the store busy and Mr.Brown and the mice make friend. It is funny that a black did not like fish and play with other cats. He liked cheese like Mr. Brown and play with mice. It was different from other cats. I think the idea is very important when I face to a difficult problem. I want a lot of wise living happy. This book is funny so you should read it. (205/22,013)

My grand mother

I like my grand mother. Her name is Mitsue. She is about 77 years and she is good. She likes karaoke so she attends to karaoke class once a week. Every year she got a prize of a karaoke recital. She has a lot of trophies of karaoke recitals.

I have lived with her for two years. She cooks very good and she cooked dishes for me every day. I like her dishes especially miso soup was good because it was light taste. She is also busy worker. I feel admiration foe her working. She keep her big house by herself. It looks hard because she has a big house and garden. My mother has grown up at the house when she is a child.
My grandfather died at a young age. Then my grandmother brought up her four children by herself. She worked everyday from early morning to late at night. I think it is great that she paid the money for the university her son and one daughter. Maybe there were a lot of efforts in her life.
I found my efforts are still small and I should do make many efforts in my life. I learned from my grandmother during the days living with her. I hope she lives true happy life rest of her life.(219/21,808)

My hobby

I like to study foreign language. I have studied English, Chinese, Germany and Korean. However I can not speak all of them. So I want to speak these language fluently. Now I want to speak Korean and English. Then I started to study Korean from last night in earnest because I want to go on a trip to Korea on March. When we went to there we should do almost everything by ourselves, so the language skill is necessary to ask people the place we want to go or the way to get to there.
Learning foreign language is very interesting. While studying foreign language we also study cultures. To know the culture of foreign country is also very interesting. There are history and concept of values. It usually different from Japanese.
Still my skill and knowledge of Korea is small. I want to grow them and some day I want to become translate for someone who needs translations.
Now I should study diligently in a row.
Some day I want to translate many languages. And then I want to flying all over the world. In addition, I want to help people talk and hear smoothly with my language skills. (200/21,589)

What is dream??

I thought what is dream? Have you ever thought about it? Almost everyone have some dreams even it 's small one. But some people forget about their dream when they grow up. On the other hand, some people said their parents wish is their dream. Is that enough for them? And some people said they can not realize their dream.
I think it is not true dream. I think dream is fulfill thing with the effort and the pray. And dream is not others so the dream is your dream.
Recently some young people have no dream or hope for their future and their life. It is so poor. If we have no dream or hope, we can not live. I think they need the light for their path of life. It is not substances or good names. I think it is something that cannot be seen but very important. It is your mind. It is very important what you think. Our action depends on our mind and thought. For example, if you think about bad thing in your brain your words would be bad and your doing also bad. The other way if your thought is good, you say good words and do a good deed. The thought is so important for the people. I think young people have a good thought in their brain and live happy with smile.(231/21,389)

My ambition

I have an ambition for this spring vacation. It go on over seas as a graduation trip. Especially, I want to go to Korea with my friends. I like Korea so much. If I go to Korea I go to the beautiful park and charge myself at there. When I go to there I always receive big energies. Then I want to eat Korean food. Korea is a 'hot' country and I like hot food. I think kimchi of Korea is very good. I want talk with Korean people, so I should study Korean so hard. Korean is the same of grammar with Japanese. It is good for Japanese to study Korean. However Korean people speak very fast so I have to train the skill of listening talking with Korean people.
Graduating from the University is the most important thing going to the trip, so I should write blog more and prepare for the make up test. And I have to grow my English skill. Do my best for my ambition.(171/21,158)

My dinner

I went to a dinner with my friends. The name is 'Remonse'. There stands near by Kumamoto University. There are many dining hall with big amount. One of my friends and me ate rice omelet and one ate hamburg. We could choice the amount of the rice for three types in small, regular and large sizes. We choose regular size, but it was big for me. However I could eat everything at all. It was so good.We had a good time at during the dinner time. Because we talked each other almost for an hour. It was a relaxing time. I like to go to cafe or dinner with my friends and talk each other. It makes me happy and deepen relation nature between my friends and me. I also like to find a new shops or cafe with some sweets. I want to find many shops or cafes in Kumamoto city and let someone go together to there. I find a cafe delicious parfaits at there now. (169/20,987)

The pets

I have a dog, two cats and goldfish. The dog live outside but two cats live with in a house. The dog is a mix and she is an old, she is about 15 years old. She has weak hearing. However she is good. The two cats are black and white. One's name is Anko. He is a little fat and lives life at a slower pace. The other cat is Tomato. She is a mardy baby so she always sits in someone's lap. My parents love the cats. My father sleeps with the cats at night. I also have some goldfish in a big tank. They are too big as a carp. It looks not have any room for the gold fish. When Tomato looks at the goldfish with a compulsive stare, the gold fish seem to be afraid of her.
Last year, One of our dogs died. Her name was cherry. She was my good friend. When I got her I was only seven years old. I always played with her after school. We were good friends. I liked to go for a walk with her and she also liked to go for a walk. She waged her tail and took off when I prepared for a walk. She was so cute. I was so sad when she was died, however it was good she live to a good age. The pets of my house are all cute.

What do you think about pets? These days, there are a lot of troubles about keeping pets. Some pets are given away by their owners. They walk around the street seeking food or sleeping places. Incidents of discarded dogs turning wild, breeding, forming packs and attacking people are even becoming a social problem. The responsibility of this problem lies with the people not the dogs. This is because people abandon their pets they can no longer keep on the ground of people.

Then it surprised me some people began to keep a pet from a puppy or a kitty because they looks very cute. However the puppy or kitty grows up and become an adult their owner abandons them . It is so poor. I can't believe the results.

I think it is good thing keeping pets and live with them, but we should have a responsibility for them. When we started to keep a pet, we have to care to it the end of the life of the pet. They are living matter so they have lives. We have to learn about the value of life. I think if the people keeping pets learned the value of lives there are no abandoned pets in Japan. I hope so in the near future.(451/20,818)

My favorite food is Korean foods. I have been to Korea for four times. I love Korea because of the cultures or people. I enjoyed sightseeing, shopping and Korean foods. There is a beautiful park in Korea. I certainly go to the park when I go to Korea. I think it is the grandest park in the world. When I go to there my mind would be healed. I want to go there soon.
Korea have some big market. On of the biggest market is 'Namdaemun market'. There are a lot of market; food, cosme and clothe or so. There also bogus brand-name items. It probably goes against the law to sell the items. However the customers buy the items gladly. I thougt it seemed strange. Then Korea has good food cultures. There are many kinds of hot food. I like kimchi so I think Korean kimchi is the best one. There are many kinds of kimchi. When we go to the dining hall, some of kimchis are there surely. One day, I went to a noodle shop there was a red seafood noodle. It looked very hot and I ordered the noodle. It baited the tongue. I could not feel the taste at all because of the heat. It was hard for me to eat the noodle. I had a thick mouth but I thought It was a good experience. My favorite Seoul foods are tteokbokki and samgyetang. When you go to Korea someday please try to eat them!!(250/20,367)

My bridegroom

I dream of getting married with lovely bridegroom. I think he is a special and complete bridegroom. We fall in love and live together in a big beautiful house. He is so great. However I still not complete and enough for him so I should aspire to becoming complete and beautiful bride. Firstly I must refine myself all the time. Particularly inner beauty is so important. I heard the action makes from what I think. So the thinking is very important. Even if someone have the right look, but the inside is so bad people don't want to get married with the person. If the thinking is different from each other they can not live together.
Now I want to make myself for the loveli bride for him and live happy life in the future. I want to make my center core more completely.(144/20,117)
