I read The Tennis Match. I will tell you about this story. The main character is Giraffe and Elephant. One day, they enjoyed the tennis game. First, giraffe hit the ball to elephant, but she couldn't hit the ball. The tiger who is an umpire told her look at the ball.
Next, she could hit the ball, but it was out. She isn't good at tennis. After that, tiger suggested to hit softer. Finally, she could hit the ball, and went in. Everyone be glad without the giraffe. This story was not so interesting, but easy to read.

BR 2-12: Goldilocks and the three bears
I read Goldilocks and the three bears. The illustration is so pretty, so I chose this book. Now, I will tell you about this story. The character is three bears. They are family. It is father, mother, and baby bear.
They relax in the living room with reading some books on their sofa front of the fireplace. Father bears reading a newspaper. Then, they start to eat breakfast. It looks like a cup of soup. After that, they go out side to walk in the forest. By the way, there is a bad girl.
Her name is Goldilocks. She was wearing blue one-piece and red shoes. She found the bear's house, and their breakfast. Next, she ate it, and likes it. She tries to sit on the chair, but she doesn't like it.
Then, she found nice chair, but she had broken it. After that, she went to their bed room. Then, she slept long time. After that, the bear family came back their house. The father found breakfast which was eaten by someone. Then, baby bear found broken chair and Goldilocks on his bed. Finally, she runs away. This story is easy to read, and colorful, so I recommend this book.

Eating Habits in Minnesota
1. Introduction
I visited Minnesota in this summer to participate in a home stay program. I stayed with my host family for a month. I like food, and eating. In addition, I’m interested in not only American food, but also eating habits of American.
I expected Americans would be fat, eat too much, and eat snacks between meals before I visited America. I wanted to know how different in the real, so I decided to write about this theme.
There were a lot of foods both delicious and terrible. Now, I will tell you about my eating habits in Kumamoto and Minnesota.
2. Eating Habits in Kumamoto
We take meal three times in a day. In addition, when we feel hungry, we eat snack. As breakfast, we eat rice, miso soup, grilled fish, salad, Japanese omelet, natto and so on. Sometimes we eat toast, sausage, sunny-side up egg and so on. My mother makes us hot dogs or sandwiches with mayonnaise, cucumber, tomato and tuna, or boiled egg and lettuce. We often drink cold water, barley tea, and hot coffee. Sometimes we drink green tea.
Lunch is not so heavy. For example, spaghetti, okonomiyaki, Chinese fried rice, and, Chinese noodle and so on. However, we often bring lunch box to our school or working place. As contents of the lunch box, for example, rice, an omelet, a grilled salmon, a deep-fried chicken, a meatball, and a salad and so on.
Dinner is the heaviest than other meals. For example, a hamburger steak, a grilled fish, a croquette, curry and rice, an omelet containing fried rice, ginger-flavored slices of fried pork, and tempura and so on. In addition, rice, salad, and soup and so on. If we feel hungry, we eat snacks between meals.
3. Eating Habits in Minnesota
1) Breakfast
Breakfast of Minnesota was very lightly and quickly, so I often felt hungry. My host family often ate hot oat meals add the brown sugar and butter. In addition, they eat cereal with milk almost everyday. Sometimes they ate yogurt and toast, but the toast was different bread from what I expected. It looks dark brown, and bitter. I didn’t care for these breakfasts. Especially, oat meal was terrible. It was like a baby food.
My host father often ate breakfast in his car, because he slept late every morning. My ESL teacher said the American often eat breakfast in the car. Japanese people tend to eat breakfast well, but American people think that breakfast is not so important.
2) Lunch
Lunch of Minnesota was so heavy for me. I ate lunch at Cafeteria in Bethel University on ordinary days. On weekend, I ate out.
At the cafeteria in Bethel University, there were a lot of dishes. As vegetable, for example, there were lettuces, cucumbers, tomatoes, ruccolas, broccolis, carrots, and zucchini and so on. So we could make own original salad. As other thing, there were tuna with mayonnaise, boiled eggs, hams, croutons, cheeses, olives and a variety of dressings. So we could put own favorite dressing on a salad. As main, pasta, pizza, and what like a hamburger and so on. As dessert, a variety of cakes, waffle, ice cream. We could eat as much as we like. As staple diet, there were rolls, buckets, bagels, sandwiches, and a variety of breads.
On Saturday, we often went to outside, so probably I have never eaten lunch in house. I ate hamburger at McDonald’s, tacos at Mexican restaurant, pizza at Mall of America, hot dog or hamburger at party. I often went to party, so I often ate lunch there.
On Sunday, I went to church. and I ate lunch there. There were croissants, hams, lettuces, mayonnaise, mustard, potato chips, orange juice, coffee, and a variety of cookies. We could make own sandwiches. I often ate sandwiches of croissant in America. American croissants were bigger than Japanese. It was delicious.
3) Dinner
Dinner of Minnesota was not so heavy. My host family often ate chicken and spaghetti with original meat sauce. They rarely eat fish and pork. They also ate vegetables, but only boiled potatoes, raw carrots, and raw broccolis without seasoning. I was so surprised at this eating style. After the dinner, they ate dessert almost everyday.
Sometimes we went to restaurant. I went to Italian restaurant. I ate calovonara.It was so good, but the spaghetti was thick. The American often gives a party at their houses. I went to the party five times on first week. There were hamburgers, hot dog, pasta salad, fruits, chocolate cakes, ice cream, pops, corn chips, raw carrots with sour cream, potato chips, cookies, French fries, and so on. They brought a dish each family. Then, they shared.
Americans like hamburgers and French fries, but the people who I met don’t like McDonald’s.
4. Conclusion
I thought that American must be eating snacks between meals before I visited America, but they didn’t eat snacks between meals. I found some Japanese restaurant, and Oriental super markets. My host family likes rice, soy sauce, sesame seeds, and laver. They sometimes ate Japanese food. In addition, American like potato chips. I often saw potato chips as a meal.
Then they always ate fruits. Especially, they ate grapes, cherries, plums, and strawberries. As a vegetable, they eat only carrots, beans, broccolis, and potatoes. I was so surprised. In Japan, almost all the people eat a variety of vegetables every meals. While, we don’t eat fruits so much. American often gives a home party. They bring some dishes each other, and then they share it. American eating habit is very lightly breakfast, heavy lunch, not so heavy dinner.
Generally, Japanese think that food is important for us. So, we rarely leave the foods at meals. In contrast, Americans tend to leave the foods easily. Sometimes, kids play with the foods.

I read The Fox and the Stork. I am going to tell you about this story. The main character is a fox and a stork. They are friends. They often enjoyed walking into the garden. The fox liked playing tricks.
One day, he had a good idea. He passed an invitation to her. He invited her for dinner. She was so hungry. So she went his house to eat dinner with him.
The fox made soup. He poured it into wide bowls. She couldn't eat it, because her bill is long. She tried to eat it many times, but she couldn't eat it. Then, he said "you looks don't like it" and he took her soup.
Next day, she asked him to dinner. She also made soup. She poured it into tall jars. He couldn't eat it, because he hasn't long bill. Then, he was angry.

Then, we walked to the movie theater. First, we bought drinks at drug store. Then, we got a ticket of eclipse twilight saga. We were looking forward to watching it. After that we sat on a seat.
The movie was so thrilling and a little scary for me. I was so excited!! I couldn't endure with fear. Moreover, I shuddered with fear, so I glanced at Chinami. Then I was so surprised, because she was so relaxed, and cool. She has strong mental. I respected her.
The story is love story, but there were many hard action scenes. The characters are a girl, vampires, wolves, and new born people. The girl and one of the vampire fallen in love, but her friend who is wolf also love her. It is a love triangle. It was interesting. Finally, she decided to marry with vampire, but I don't know the end. What will be final outcome?
Originally, the new born people were human, but they became vampires by Victoria who is an enemy of the girl, wolves, and vampires. The new born people and Victoria are seeking the girl's life. So the vampires and wolves try to save her. To tell the truth, the vampires and the wolves don't get along very well with each other. However they cooperated with each other to save her life from Victoria and new born people.
The action scenes were very forceful. I enjoyed this movie. I recommend it. Now I would like to watch Harry Potter and a secret treasure. I will watch it next Wednesday if I can.

I started to learn English when I was 4th grade in elementary school. My friend recommended GEOS, so I went to there. In addition, I was interested in English. In GEOS, we learned English with some games. First, I learned basic words with message game. For example, ant, gun, alligator, jelly fish, lady bag, whale, giraffe etc. Second, I learned daily conversation with music. Third, I learned grammar. I enjoyed learning English.
When I was junior high school student, I was good at English. I liked to learn English in class. I studied basic of Writing, Listening, Reading, Speaking, and Grammar. I always got high point. I liked to speak English, so when I found ALT, I spoke to them in English. I had to recite a whole page of a text, then probated pronunciation, accuracy, intonation, accent, breath, and my eyes by English teacher. It was hard for me. Then, I tried to English examinations. I got a level 3.
When I was high school student, I was good at English at first grade. I tried to English examination, and I got a level pre-2. I liked to answer the questions. In my high school, everyone go to higher school, so I studied hard. I answered a lot of workbooks. I had to prepare for tomorrow's lessons every day. One day, I couldn't follow the high level lessons. Gradually, I didn't like English. I didn't want to study English, so my point of English was down. I wasn't good at English. But, I had a dream to be a flight attendant, and I must enter University, so I studied English hard again. At the 3rd grade, I studied English very hard, and I answered a lot of workbooks, and AKAHON, because I wanted to enter the Kumamoto Prefectural University.
Now, I study English: Reading, Writing, Listening, Speaking, and Grammar at university. In Reading class, I learning how to read the English paper, and increase vocabulary. In Listening class, I listen to conversations of native speakers, and write what they speak. In writing class, I typed essays. I have to consider about paragraphs, constitution of sentences. In speaking class, I have to explain. For example, vacation memories, how to make something, position the box etc. By the way, I home stayed in America to improve my English skill. I knew my English skill is so poor. The pronunciation was different from what Japanese pronounce English. I had a difficult time communicating with American people.
As you can see, I learn English long time since I was an elementary school student, but my English skill is poor. So I need to study more. English is able to connect with people of all over the world. I want to communicate with people who live in another country. I'm interested in foreign cultures, economics, traditions, food, fashions, religions, and lifestyles and so on. English is important for me. By the way, I'm interested in French too, so I want to learn it more.

Happy day♪
I went to school to finish my assignments. There were a lot of people, because a sports festival of Keiai kindergarten holds at ground in KGU. I didn't know that, so I was surprised. First, I went to LOWSON to buy a lunch. Then, I ate sandwiches and roll on the bench.
After that, I went to the library. Then, I studied French. Next, I typed assignments of the book reviews. After that, I finished a report of the Linguistics. Next, I rode a train.
I met Ayumi who is my friend from junior high school. We are rarely to meet, so I was excited. We chatted in the train. She said “Are you fat than before?". I felt sad. I know, I'm fat, but...
In addition, we talked about love, and part time job, and so on. We reminisce about the good old days. The memorials of my schooldays recurred to me. Next, we arrived at Uto station. We went to EVERYONE where my work place is. I looked my work schedule.
After that, she wanted to go to Super Kid, so we went there. Then, I bought ice creams, snacks, and cookies. Ayumi bought some precooked Chinese noodles, precooked spaghetti, UFO, bread, ice cream, chocolate, and bottled coffee. We enjoyed shopping and to chat. Finally, we went home by bicycle. I had a nice day!

My experience in Minnesota
First, I worried about my English skills, because I can’t speak English fluently and I couldn’t understand what American say. But my host father taught me about pronunciation, and my host mother spoke in plain English for me, and they were so kind. So, I decided to try to speak English, and understand what they say.
Second, I learned about the importance of speaking in class. In America, if we don’t say anything, we regarded absent by teacher, because this attitude means nonparticipation in class. So, I tried to speak. I felt that sharing is important, because I can know about my friend’s experience, and expand my knowledge.
In addition, I learned about the history of Minnesota, African-American people, American weddings, American police, Immigrants, American nursing homes, American farms, Christians, stereotypes, and so on. There were differences from Japan.
Then, I enjoyed American life. My best memory is canoeing. I had never tried to canoeing, but I could do it, so I had a nice day. In addition, I played tennis with my friends and badminton with my host sister. It was so fun.
By the way, my favorite place was the St. Paul Cathedral. I felt the beauty of there. I was very excited. And I enjoyed Lake Harriet, because there were beautiful views. I fed the ducks, I saw a music performance, I ate ice cream, and I rode on the trolley. Next, I enjoyed shopping in Minnesota. I went to Target, Mall of America, Rainbow, Cub, Starbucks, and so on.
Finally, I appreciate my host family: Tim, Ann, Sally, Mark, Jane, John, Paul, and Alice, Teachers of Bethel University: Rachel, Joel, and Linda, Kailene, Driver: Jeff, Monica, classmates, my family, and all the people who I met in America. Thank you so much!!

I read Stone Soup. I am going to tell you about this story. The character is old man and old woman. The man is so poor. He looks terrible. He has a stick, and wearing a hat. The woman is fat, and her attitude is not so kind.
One day, the man walked with his dog. He found a cottage, and then knocked it. An old woman opened the door. The old man asked her to rest here for a while, but she didn't allow. He didn't give up, and told her what he can make a good soup from a stone.
She wanted to look it, so she put water into a pot on the fire. Then, he added a special stone. After that, the soup bubbled. Then, he tasted it, and he recommended her to add an onion. So she put chopped an onion into a pot.
After that, he tasted it again, and he advised her to add a potato. So she put chopped potato into the pot. He tasted again, and then he told her to add some meat. So she put chopped some meat into the pot. He put it into a bowl.
Next, she tried to eat the soup. She likes this soup. He smiled, and washed the stone and put it in his pocket. She didn't notice this trick. She believed his lie about special stone. Finally, he and his dog stay with her to eat soup for dinner. I thought he is clever. I also like this story.

Essay 2-01b: My Favorite Place
I am going to introduce about my favorite places. I went to Minnesota in America this summer vacations. Then, I visited a lot of places in Minnesota. There are very beautiful places, and good foods! My favorite American food is a hot dog! It was simple, but good! I like Minnesota, so I decided to write about my favorite places in Minnesota.
Especially, I like Saint Paul Cathedral in Minnesota. It is big and tall building. The outside is fancy, like a castle of Cinderella. The inside is very beautiful. There are many stained glasses and statue of Jesus, Maria, and someone. When I entered there, I thought cathedral is like a church, because there were Bibles, benches, cross, candles, and special water and so on. In addition, it was so quiet.
The construction of this cathedral began in 1906 and the first services were held in 1915. Today, the cathedral seats 3000 people. The main dome is the largest dome in the world. It is 186 feet high and 97 feet in diameter. The 24 stained glass windows. There are four large mosaics that represent justice, prudence, temperance and fortitude. Round stained glass windows are called rose windows.
By the way, I have another favorite place. It is Lake Harriet in Minnesota. Minnesota has 10,000 lakes. The lakes of Minnesota are very large, so they look like the sea. I went to some lakes, for example, The Lake Valentine, The Lake Johanna, The Lake Christmas, and so on. I like St.Paul Cathedral the best.
But especially I like Lake Harriet. I watched music band performance there with my host family. Do you know Blue glass? It is American traditional country music. I ate strawberry ice cream at there.
Then I fed ducks. Finally, I rode in the trolley. It was fun. I have never seen the trolley, so I was very excited. The trolley is like a train, but there are not glasses of the windows, that is to say, there are only frame of the windows. I don’t know why, but it is interesting.
That is why, I like these place. I want you to visit them if you can. I thought, if you saw them, you must be moved, because they are beautiful. Minnesota has a lot of beautiful and fun places. There are many trees, flowers, birds, and a lot of stars. I want to visit there again. By the way, I want to visit New York City too!!

Especially, I like Saint Paul Cathedral in Minnesota. It is big and tall building. The outside is fancy, like a castle of Cinderella. The inside is very beautiful. There are many stained glasses and statue of Jesus, Maria, and someone. When I entered there, I thought cathedral is like a church, because there were Bibles, benches, cross, candles, and special water and so on. In addition, it was so quiet.
The construction of this cathedral began in 1906 and the first services were held in 1915. Today, the cathedral seats 3000 people. The main dome is the largest dome in the world. It is 186 feet high and 97 feet in diameter. The 24 stained glass windows. There are four large mosaics that represent justice, prudence, temperance and fortitude. Round stained glass windows are called rose windows.
By the way, I have another favorite place. It is Lake Harriet in Minnesota. Minnesota has 10,000 lakes. The lakes of Minnesota are very large, so they look like the sea. I went to some lakes, for example, The Lake Valentine, The Lake Johanna, The Lake Christmas, and so on. I like St.Paul Cathedral the best.
But especially I like Lake Harriet. I watched music band performance there with my host family. Do you know Blue glass? It is American traditional country music. I ate strawberry ice cream at there.

After school, I went to Cineplex with Asaki and Sayaka to watch the movie. Asaki watched the Villain. Sayaka and I watched Kimini Todoke. It was so good! I like this movie. The main cast is Haruma Miura, Mikako Tabe, and Mirei Kiritani and so on. This movie is pure love story.Kazehaya=Haruma Miura. Sawako=Mikako Tabe. Kurumi=Mirei Kiritani. Kazehaya is charmer in the class, but Sawako is feared from the students, because she looks SADAKO of the RING. However, she is very distinguished, kind, and pure. She always does good things. They like each other.
The most impressive scene is about friendship. Sawako has two friends. They always worry about her. Kurumi loves Kazehaya, but Kazehaya loves Sawako and her too. Kurumi often feel jealous, and she is unkind to Sawako. My favorite line is “You are rude for her. She is a girl." Kazehaya said to classmates. In addition, "I'm sorry. I couldn't stand.” Kazehaya said to Sawako. I was crying while I watched this movie. I want you to watch this movie.
After the movie, we ate crape, because we can eat all of crapes only 290 yen on 29th. We ate same crape. It was so delicious ♥ after I ate it, I felt so happy, and became smile. Then, we walked to school with chat. Next, we said good bye each other, and I walked to Suizenji station. Then, I rode in the train, and I went to home.
