A LITTLE PRINCESS


i just finished reading ''A LITTLE PRINCESS''.

it's a story about rich girl became poor after her father died.
let me introduce the story a little.

Sara[a little princess] has a rich father, and so she was a very rich girl. they went to England to have her to go to good school , but her father must go back to India. she she was so kind and clever that she taught studying her friend[Ermengarde]. but, something bad thing happened to her...her father suddenly died, and she became poor girl, and worked for school as servant...

while reading, i felt really sorry for her. Miss Minchin[principal] was so severe, she made her work for long hours, and sometimes she didn't give her any foods..but she never cry, she was strong, i thought.

however, his father's friends[Mr Carrisford] found her, and they lived together. and her friend[Becky; servant] also lived with them. Sara lived happily with Mr. Carrisford and Becky.

He met one girl[Jenniferl] at Morgan's shop. he thought she was beautiful. one day, he asked her to go to cinema. however, he was late because of traffic jam. after he came back home, he put his clean clothes and ran to the bus stop. he caught the bus, but he forgot money!! so he came back his home, but his parents were not there, and his key was in his old trouser's pocket. so he climbed up the drainpipe, and came in his room. unfortunatelly, a police car passed his home, and they suspected him, and asked lot of questions. at last, they believed him, and took him into town. however, naturally she wasn't there. he telephoned her again and again, but she didn't answer. so he wrote letter to her[i'm sorry, can we start again??].
on Monday, he took the letter to the shop and put it on the counter. he thought she didn't read it, but that evening, he saw her at cafe!!and she said'' you're late'' they smiled each other. it was Luck Day!! i thought they will go to cinema.

Marco


I read ''Marco''[by Mike Esplen].
Have you ever ran away from home?? The story is about Marco who left farm. Let me tell you its story. Marco was a farm boy. One weekend, he left farm, and went to big city, but he couldn't buy ticket for train, because he had a little money, so he ran out of the station. He felt dread of that! While walking narrow street, he met one pretty girl[about 18 years old] wearing old clothes. She said ''there're acquaintance in cake shop so, we could get cake by cheap prices.'' He decided to give little money to her, after she got cake, she ran away from him!! He ran after her, and police car stopped in front of her, but the police didn't believe what he said, because he didn't live in the city. He only believed her. He was said'' Go home''. After that, he looked for market. While looking, he found one peaches box with a label written by himself! He was so hungry, so he insisted his peach, but the seller didn't understand. For a one moment, Carlo who was driver of lorry came toward him. So, he helped him, and he took him to his house. When he arrived his house, his father said '' Marco Is that you? ''from top of the stairs, and he said'' Yes, it's me. I'm coming up''. His father worried him.
I went to Karaoke with my friend after school, and I send e-mail[I'll come back home late, today] to my father, but I didn't notice and answer phone call from him, so my parents was so worried, because it was past 0:00. I think parents alway worried their children even we're adult. I'm sorry dad and mom!!! I'll contact exactly them from now when I come back home late.

Fourthly, dissolve the powder gelatin which soaked beforehand in the microwave oven, but be careful not to boil it, and then add it to cheese dough, and mix the whole well.

Finally, filtering with the filtering network, pour them the cake mold which prepares cookie dough beforehand, after that; cool it in the refrigerator more than 3 hours until firming.

Little women


Do you know Little women[若草物語]?? I read Little Women [Meg, Jo, Beth and Amy March]. This is a famous story in the world. Their father was away in the war. This story describe family love, and it made my heart warm. Sometimes, they quarreled, but they finally made it up. They ware all good friends.
I have two remained scenes in my heart. One is they gave their foods to the Hummels who don’t have any food even if they were poor. They had consideration for others. The other is Jo sold her hair for money, because her mother must go to sick father. I was moved by this scene.
At last, they lived in harmony all together with father and mother.
I like this sort of stories like family love. I want to watch this movie. So, please visit Link!

What I think about blogging

I enjoy writting about dairy and book review in English in my blogging almost everyday. It’s fun to show photos and videos of my trip or my favorite movies. I think writing English in my blogging activate my brain, because I can remember the happenings of the day. Also, I can improve not only writing skill but speaking one, and I realize my computer skill improved! I didn’t like using computers, but now I like it. Sometimes, I read others bloggings, and write my comments. It’s fun to read it and write my comments, and I’m glad to receive others comments. From now on, I want to write more long writings, and cut down grammatical errors. Learning English with enjoyment is important for us! [122words]

Proverbs

I learned English proverbs from my teacher in my school, so I'd like to introduce it which I like.
1. Don’t cry over spilt milk.
It gives me courage! It means when regretting something, you shouldn't complain it; you should try to do again!
If we fail tests or any kind of stuff, we often complain about not ourselves but others, but it’s not a good way. The most important thing is never give up!!
2. When in Rome,do as the Romans do.
It means if you're in Rome, you must obey as the Roman’s rule, culture and lifestyle.
3. Make hay while the sun shines.
It means you mustn't miss a golden opportunity. [Grasp the opportunity!]
I think if we just wait happiness, we cannot get the chance! If we want to be happy, we must try to do! Don’t hesitate! Believe in yourself!
4. Don't count your chickens before they're hatched.
We tend to plan something, even if we haven't success yet...uh, it's difficult to explain it!
5. Do as you would be done by.
It's very important proverb, I think. It means [do to others as you would have them do with you.] Lately, I often heard very sad news like indiscriminate murder in Akibahara. I think we have been deteriorating our morals and human nature.

Moonfleet - J. Meade Falkner


I read ''MOONFLEET''. It was about a man who seeks a diamond.
Long time ago, Blackbeard had hid his diamond. So, the main character, John Trenchard sought the diamond. He lived in Moonfleet, in the south of England.
One day, he found the passage under the church, and he found the coffin which was in Blackbeard. He saw yellow envelope in his hand. Inside it, some paper with words and number. However, he could not get out. So, he was helped by Elzevir, Then, he began to live together in his bar, but they must leave the bar, because Mr. Maskew is going to buy it. The next night, when taking the casks of wine off the ship, John was got by police’s gun. He was hurt, so Elzevir looked after him in the cave. By the middle of May, he got fine, and he understood the number and words with Bible. So, they leave there. They found the diamond in the well in Carisbrooke, France, and Elzevir said to him.’’ I don’t want any of the money. Give the money to other people’’ I was moved by these words. However, when they tried to sell it, they was caught by police.
After ten years, Elzevir was dead, and John came back to his village. He got a letter from Aldobrand which was written about a diamond and he got it. He thought about his future, and he gave it to the people of village. Also, he married his lover, Grace.
It was a little long story. I think John and Elzevir is great persons, because he gave the money to others not himself even if they were prison. Elzevir was dead, but I hoped he was happy with his dead daughter in the heaven.

ENGLISH JOURNAL - November



English is differ from country to country.
Oceanian English is differ from American one like pronunciation, Vocabulary and Grammar, and it's close to British, because British established many colonies in south Atlantic and they implanted British English. It's said that characteristic English appeared in Austrian in 1830's, and in New Zealand in 1860's.
I got interested in Oceanian English, so I borrowed it in the library. I read it and listen to CD, so I found that it's quite differ! In America, they will say '' Don't worry'' but in Austria, ''No worries''. That's interesting! So, I tried to listen it, but it's very faster, so I cannot listen exactly...
Also, I found interesting topic article ''Point of improvement of English ability'' Mr. Seamus Fagan who is the chairperson of English Austral is said that the students who are more adventurous with language tend to do better. Adventurous students mean they easily make friends, and are talkative. So, I think, talking English with positive attitude is very important for me. When talking to foreigner in my school, I get narvous... So, I was often said ''relax''.
Above all, I must get rid of such tension...

Today, we obsolutely have our own ''keitai'' even if we were children, and naturally I have one, My keitai is pink and softbank's, and I use it everyday. It has a lots of function, like not only sending e-mails but listening to music, taking photo, and something like that. It's very convinient, because I can contact with my friends at any time anywhere, and it gives me entertainment as I said. I often use Internet, and I preserve favorite music and photo which I search, and then exchange it with my friends.
However, I must remember if I use it so much, it gives me waste of time and money.

Crash


Crash is a movie which drive us to thinking of a circle of people describing racial discrimination in the World.
The most impressive character was Hansen and Raian. The movie didn't finish only Hansen was a good-natured person and Raian was villain[bad person], which gives true message for us.
Raian had a discrimination for blacks, I think, he didn't like rich blacks who not knowing his father. However, He helped black woman not caring his lives. On the other hands, Hansen was reluctant to work with him, 'cause he was a racism, but Hasen killed others with his stereotype, discrimination.
Every human being will not be a good person or bad person, 'cause we have discrimination for others in the bottom of our heart. We recognize others with our stereotypes. Its bring about misunderstanding and Crash between people and people. I mean, there is not true good person and bad person.
However, I felt not only its but also human hearty, I mean, human is egotistic but we helped each other with crashing. Sometimes, we wound others and we are afraid of being wounded by others, but we cannot live without circling of people.

Surely, in our world, full with discrimination, we are not same, some people lives with plenty but others not, but I think, crashing each other with hate, sorrow or anger, we learn something and we can help each others. We have hearts with not only discrimination but hearty for others.
The ending with lovely snowing scene gives us hope for the world.

The next day, he want to say sorry to her, so he was going to buy flowers for her, but he was mistook for a thief by policemen! Moreover, Maria and her father watched him, too. She tried to run to him, but her father stopped her. And he said, '' you never meet him again!'' How sad this story is. This is ordinary story, but I wanna knew continence.
[The Bully]
Do you know the word, BULLY?? BULLY is a student like Beverley. She often takes lunchbox and bag which she wants, everyone was annoyed with her. So, a new student Yoshi from Tokyo in Japan hit on good idea, Karate. He asked them to join him, and he throw her! Then, she changed her mind, and his class became peaceful and friendly.
I'll try to read more long story next time☆

Using the computer, good points and bad points

Computer is a necessary tool for modern society, but it has both good points and bad points.
For example, it has 2 good points. One is we can get easily various information which we need at any time. The other is it makes business more efficiency. We can make document or postcards and we can contact with trading partner soon. However, sometimes it's dangerous tool for us especially children. It has various bad information for them. Also, some people use it for a long time, so they have less time to talk to their family.
We must remember it has not only good points but also bad points. We must careful of bad information.

Foreign contries

I haven't been to foreign countries, but I have a dream to visit foreign countries...
When visiting any foreign countries, it's important to learn language spoken there. Now, I want to visit New Zealand, Singapore and Korea, so I'm learning English. It is spoken all over the countries, but when visiting other countries like Asia countries, of course we must learn languages spoken there, so I'll learn Korean when visiting there. I want to be a polyglot.
Also, I'm interested in learning other cultures. Culture is different from each countries, so I want to broad my horizon by visiting foreign countries and introduce Japanese culture.
I have a dream to visit foreign countries, so I really enjoy learning languages and cultures. [119words]
