Japanese Speech Contest

Today, Japanese Speech Contest for overseas students was held. 18 people [from Korea, Chinese, British, Thailand, New Zealand, Australia and Canada] participated and spoke in public. I was surprised that everyone can speak Jananese very well!! I think they practiced it many times. Also, I learned that it's important to speak about own countries, and things which I have always thought. It's hard to try it in foreign languages, but telling own country to foreigner is a very important thing. I want to speak about Japan in English!

The winner from N.Z spoke about Kumamoto dialect. It's very interesting topic! He told that he wants to learn it. I never heard such a thing! Everyone emphasize to learn the standard Japanese. If I go to N.Z, I want to learn English peculiar to N.Z.

English Conversation School

I started to go to English canversation school every Friday from 7:05 to 8:05, because I cannot talk English fluently and I want to talk fluently with people from freign countries. So, I'll go there after school. I look forwart to enjoy talking in the class.
Last Friday, we talked about proverb. It was difficult for me to explan the meaning in English. Also, I found Japanese proverb sometimes different from English one. It's very interesting!
Before I go there, I have extra time, so I'll study in the library. I don't study in my home, because I want to watch TV^^; So, I'll finish homework there.

GIRL meets BOY by Derek Strange

It was a story in later July. They fell in in love on the boat at portsmousth...

I read this book; GIRL meets BOY, because I want to read love story and I was atrracted by book cover.

It was separated 3 parts; Donna's story[it was mainly written her feeling for him], Mark's story[it was mainly written his feeling for her]and The town's story[the ending]. They stared each other on the boat, so they fell in love.

However, she mistook him for his brother, and Mark saw she was dancing with
his brother. He was really worrying about them...
I found both sad feeling, she's thinking of him, and he's thinking of her. It was
written by simple English, but I think it was good love story.
At last, they met again, and he was shy but he asked her to dance with. It was happy ending!

WANTED: ANNA MARKER

I read a detective story, Wanted: Anna Marker. I don't like this kind of books, because it's diffucult to understand, but I tried to.

Karen is a artist student, and she was asked to help to catch a theif ; Anna who steal a valuable Promponol necklece, because Inspector thought that she was a artist, so she could see many things. So, she went to London. In there, she met a 7 women, and she met her favorite artist Agnes Moore and her nurse. She was kind and warm, so she was very happy. However, she faced dangerous sitiation. Nevertheless, she didn't get back to Bangkok. And, the theif was Agnes and her nurse.

I wanted to read another kind of book next time! I rarely read a detective story even if Japanese book.

My favorite movie or movies

The best movie which I watched this year is '' ENCHANTED''! The movie is that Disney fairy story mix with mordern New York one. The main cast is Amy Adams(Geselle) and Patrick Dempsey(Robert Philip). Gesel is a princess in fairyland, and he is a lawyer in New York city and he has a one small daughter. She is sent to New York city by devil queen, and she met Robert in New York.
I like her pretty character, and I burst out laughing by her funny behavor in New York! At first, he cannot understand her, and she also kept waiting prince to help her. The prince is really cool but funny!
I anticipated she marry prince, but at last, she marry Robert. She fell in love Robert, and he did!
The main cast, Gesel makes my heart warm. I want to watch it once again!
