BR 2-10: At School


Where are you going to learn? wherever you can, but the best place is at school right?

BR 2-09: WHO WANTS TO BE A STAR?


When I saw the title of this book, I felt like I want to read it! So I read it after I saw it soon! The main person name is Tina Daniels who is thirteen years old and she is a star. She can sing and dance very well. And of course everyon knows her, and loves her. They call her "Curls" because she has beatiful curly hair. Also they all want her photo. However, actually she didn't want them to take pictures of herself, but there was nothing they could do. But I thought if I were her, I would have thought definitely keep star going for me. Because if so, I can be star then they will like you so much! but actually I misunderstood then. Was she happy? Did she want to be a star? The answer is "NO".

One day, when she was eating chocolates, suddenly her mom came to her, "Tina, why are you eating chocolates?" she said. Then Tina answered that I like them, they're nice, just said so. Is she wrong? I dont think so, because I do like chocolate and then why her mom asked her something like that? What did her do? huh?! I thought. That is just her free. Then her mom said that you’re getting fat, and a fat girl doesn’t get lots of money in Hollywood. What’s the mean! Huh? I thought again. She is Tina’s mom, then why she need to say so?! I didn’t understand. But I know, coz she really loves her and just want her to get money and get fan of her. But actually her love was sooooooooo heavy for her, I guess.

After that, Tina was very sad. Of course she was. Even me, I would have been sad for sure, because she is only thirteen! I think she sometime wants to hang out with her friends, go to shopping, just chilling at house, because she is a girl as same as me! She definitely thinks be just normal!

Then Tina went to Mrs. White’s house to tell about her self. After Tina wet there, she helped her a lot. So Tina felt so happy. Tina could go to school as same as the others; that thirteen people, and then she had new friends and new interests. One day, Tina’s friend was reading a magazine it was about film and television stars. There are lots of beautiful photos of beautiful people. Everyone looked happy. Tina’s friends looked like her envy them. But Tina thought by herself then asked own, “Who wants to be a star?” she said, “I don’t’.” When I read the part, I was so glad to she said, coz she is having fun right now. So she should have said so! That’s why! I hope that her life is going well in the future too!!!

BR 2-08: Scotland






Why I chose this book this time? becase I am going to stay there in a week! that is why. The United Kingdom has 4 big places! Let you know about "Ireland", so I am going to introduce there!

It is one of the composition subjects of the Great Britain and the Northern Ireland United Kingdom (Britain) located in Europe. It was an independent kingdom that the Great Britain kingdom was established with the combination method in 1707. The name of Scotland originates in Scott person (Scots) who united this ground. It is called, "Arapa" (Alba) in Scotland and the Gaelic.

Scots law, an educational system, and the Kirks were a culture of Scotland after the United Kingdom was approved and three original bases. However, Scotland is not a direct composition country of not the independent state but the United Nations and the European Union.

They have old traditional not only just old, but also very popular. I can stay there! I cannot wait to go there thought!!

BR 2-07: LONDON


Do you guys know where London is?
This book explained about where London is as you can see, also about detail of London. I wasn’t sure about London, but I was interested there though… then on spring vacation this year, I will go to Europe so I borrowed this book this time! Actually when I go there I should know about there at least a bit. So I am going to tell you about this book.

Well London (English: London) is a capital of Britain and England. The corner of New York, Tokyo, Paris, and four large cities in the row world is formed, and it is made to a high-level world city. The false substitute character by the Chinese character also had the example of the description, "Ruuugo" in the Meiji era period though were a lot of "Atsushi".

"City Ob London" The region that is only called "City" is left, and or, a lot of London that develops into the cradle is an eminent city with the history, and has been left for the building constructed at the Middle Ages and the early modern age in Europe. The document that specifies the position as the capital of London doesn't exist as well as a lot of capitals of another country. The population of large London in 2007 is the most populous city in 13 million people or more and European Unions in 7,556,600 people and London metropolitan areas.
Anyway, I am so excited to go there! I can see around there by my eyes! I cannot believe what I really go there!! However I am going to leave to Europe soon! Ohhh it would be great! And also not only London but also I am going to visit some countries like Spain, Italy or so… its going to be more fun! Go there if you want! and then let me know how you felt and did after you go.

BR 2-06: The MOON Seems to Change

I will tell you about how to move the moon. You may know it, but please read it.

It seems to change because the moon goes around Earth. As it goes around, we see more of goes around Earth. Half of the moon is always lighted by the sun. It's interesting because it's always lighted by sun!!! I thought that how about the other half? So, the other half is getting to sunshine. It is night! Do you understand?

A day on Earth is 24 hours long. We have 24 hours a day each our life as same as the Earth. A day on the moon is almost a month long. It takes the moon about four weeks to go around Earth. Have you ever thank about Earth/moon or how to around the Earth?

As the m0on goes around Earth, it is sometimes between Earth and the sun. So, what do I want to say? Yeah, the dark half the moon is facing us. That's why we cannot see any of the lighted half. This is called new moon! On the other hand, a crescent is in west, when we see sun go down. You may be able to see it before the sky is dark.

The other day, I found that very huge moon when I in my car. I thought that such a huge beautiful moon!!! I saw like that first time since I was born. Seriously...

On the 14Th of February,
what is that day?
Don't you know? You must say "Yes", right? Yeah, it’s a

Valentine’s Day. Let me talk about this story little this time.

There was a kindergarten, and some of the kindergarten children. They were making up, and after that drawing something that is a box each own. So, they were getting preparation for the Valentine’s Day. Also there was a hamster which is the main of this story, named Fluffy. Although there were making it no one else draw of him, but he still hoped that some of them will would have draw of him at least one.

Everyone worked hard until lunchtime. After they finished it, they started that to show what design of boxes each other. “I love pink,” said Emma. I posted pink ribbons on my box. said Mark… But actually it didn’t show up of him easily. So, Fluffy thought that “So what? :(” to them. When the showed up all of those boxes, he was gave a yawn of sheer weariness. Why not a picture of me? thought Fluffy. Finally he got mad at them. And then he thought that I quit! Valentine’s Day! Bah!!! :( Who needs it? … something like that.

However, they have prepared for their pet, Fluffy that he wanted to. He didn’t know how he was happy because of them. They gave special box to him. Although he was getting angry with them, he changed his mind from cold to warm. I thought like how simple mind! :p Then they told him that

WE LOVE YOU, FLUFFY!!!! You do? thought Fluffy. After that he ate an apple which was given from them too. Who likes Valentine’s Day? asked own. I DO! he really thought.

Well who likes Valentine’s Day? I used to like that day actually. :) If you have a boyfriend or like somebody, you may like it. On the other hand, if you don’t like anybody, you might dislike it. It’s depend on, but I just guess.

This book is made by Kate McMullan. Her design is very pretty. If I was a kid I would have loved it for sure. I am 20 age, even so I really like to read picture books! So I will keep it going from now on.

BR 2-01: Oneday one minute! English word!!

The other day, I bought new book which is "One day One minute, English word hat my "! It looks good! huh? Well I am worried that my vocabulary so I have to increase more and more, so if I got so many vocabulary it would be good for me, I guess. If I have a lot of it I will have talk to foreigner... I always think such as things! I need practices I bought it that is great book because it separate each vocabulary meaning parts. For example, "Hang in there". it has meaning like "Do your best"! but we cannot use at the time it, because the meaning has very serious so we can use it when someones already afforded after. That's why I like English :) Surely we have so many good expression of Japanese but I'm really interested in "ENGLISH" its so interesting!! Don't you think so? :D And I have to know that!! If you know that please let you know★

BR1-12 COMMON ERRORS IN ENGLISH WEITING - THRTH EDITION-


I tried this book. The book is kind of English grammar's book. Let's explain for you!

For example, "予約"(yoyaku) is "reservation" as you know, but can we always use "reservation" anytime? I was thinking that I can use it whenever, before I read this book. When people who 予約 with the dentist, we must use "appointment", then when people who 予約 with the hotel or something, we must use "reservation".

Thus, we can choose the best vocabulary when we write down essay or something. The other too, like, client/weather, thick coffee/strong coffee etc... English has a lot of way.

It taught me how to study grammar this time, also what I should know. I want to read more deeply next time! If you want to make sure your grammar, you should read it! It's very good book, so you'll better than now. Check it out! :)
