Typing week 7 : My other classes

   I take listening class on Tuesday, 4th period. I like listening to English but in this class it is a little bit difficult for me to listen to British English. I am used to listening to American English, so sometimes it is different pronunciation in British English. I feel, its sounds are not strength and powerful voice, but its are soft and powerless. The pronunciation is also different from British English to American English. For example, American people pronounce "can" with strong voice in American English but British don't. This was my first discovery in which the difference of British English and American English. I sometimes

Typing week 6 : How I study English

   I have been studying English when I was in elementary school. First I took English class which is called ECC junior. My mother made me take English class there. I don't exactly know how I study English. I like English, so I talk to foreign people in English even though I am not good at grammar or I have trouble in my speaking. I don't care making mistakes because I always learn something from making mistakes. I sometimes call my high school ALT teacher whose mane is Julie. She corrects my mistakes when she notice and then I learn how to should I have said what I wanted to say. I don't use something special textbooks but I learn studying by talking with foreign people who speak English, by listening to English songs, by watching the movies,

Sightseeing in Kumamoto

  I would like to tell you about Takamori Yusuikan tunnel park. It is one of the sightseeing in Kumamoto and it is located at Takamori town. It takes less than one hour from Kumamoto city by car. It costs 300 yen for adult and 100 yen for child.  I recommend you to go there when you feel hot and want to get cold. 

  When the Star Festival comes, that tunnel will be decorated up with colorful tanzaku which many people write down their wishes and hang out the in high so that their wish can reach to Vega and Altair, I think. 
  Most famous thing is the Water pearl which is pearls fall down and ripe up or sometimes it stop in the air. It is really amazing and I can't help wondering what happens with it. 
  Why don't you get there with your family or friends or girlfriend or boyfriend? Or just get to cold?

   This weekend I went to river to play with my boyfriend and his friend. It was so exciting for me to play in the river. But that was dirty more than common and we gave up to play and got back to my boyfriend's house. We did nothing special. It was hot outside, and inside. We just stayed at his house room and played games and read comic books and we went to yayoiken to have dinner. It was my first time to go there. Oh I remember that Friday, May  30th, KGu students had no school. I went to down town with my boy friend and his friend

This weekend on Saturday, Julie came to my new house. She is Mr. Waterman's wife and she was also my English teacher when I was a high school student. We met at Mr. Donuts and I led her to my new house. She was surprised how big it is and she liked my new house because she loves wooden things. She was also surprised that there were two restrooms in my house. One is for men, the other is for women. Then we went upstairs and we talked and talked.

BR6-01(13) : Mercury and the Woodcutter

....There is nothing I hate more than dishonesty.

       This is a story about: One day, a woodcutter decided to rest by a riverbank. He put his axe on the ground and it slipped into the river. Lucky for the woodcutter, the river god Mercury wasn't far away and he was also honest, he got three axes including his own axe. Then he told his friend, he was also a woodcutter, what had happened. Then his friend went to the river and then he did same thing to slip his axe into the river on purpose. Finally, he was dishonest and he lost his axe.
        I had read this story in English before I read this book in English. I like the part in which after river got, Mercury found the woodcutter's axe.
The woodcutter: Thank you! Thank you!
Mercury: Thank you, too! You have been very honest. Because of your honesty, I am going to give you the golden and silver axes as well.
The woodcutter: This is wonderful. Thank you!
They thanked each other and they were happy. To be honest is more important I think. And I think, every God know that a person is honest or dishonest. So we shouldn't tell lie which hurt someone.
