Henry talked about his new neighbor upstairs. The neighbor’s name is Professor Barton. He’s going to be famous because he has a letter from Shakespeare and he will give it to the British Museum in London. Two mice want to see the letters so they go upstairs but it’s not there because a woman stole them. The woman is going to New York so they run after her. They took a train and go to the airport.
At the airport, they find the woman listening to her Walkman and she reading a newspaper, too. Her bag is on the floor so Marcel climbs up the bag with his small knife. He cut a hole in it and he goes into the bag. He finds the letters but at the time, she sees them. They run away but she is very fast. Fortunately she cannot get them because she hits a fat man so they did not be caught. They go back Barton’s house and put them on the table. The man come to the room and looks at the letters. He is really surprised and he is happy. He can give them to the museum.

I will write about on July 31 in America.
The day we went to Bethel University and we tours of the university. Bethel University is very, very large and there are two lakes in the university. So students can go out the building and go to the lake at the lunch time or after school. That's wonderful. After that we went to Mississippi river and go down the river. I felt good and we met a pretty girl and she is 7 years old. She was talking long time it's almost 20 minutes. We cannot understand all about her talk because she spoke very fast. She never mind if we do not understand. That was interesting time. The evening my host mother picked me up at the university and we went to seafood restaurant. I cannot read the menu but she explains the menu for me. The dinner was great and during the dinner, we talked about each family and friends. She showed me some pictures of her family. One of the pictures is on Christmas day and that was nice picture. I like that. I showed her some pictures of my family and our university. We asked some questions each other and we can know about each of us.

Monday, October 2

I'll write about on Sunday July 30 in America. That morning my host mother and I went to a church. I have never been to there until the day. My host mother introduced me to her friends. After that host mother's friend and her daughter and we went to a restaurant for lunch. First a waitress brings some drink to us but I really surprised because the glass were so big! Of cause lunch plate are big, too. Although I just ordered three pancakes but I could not eat all. After lunch, we went to PLAZA for watching movie but I surprised again because the price for movie was cheap. In Japan we should pay 1500 yen for each person but I paid only $2 in America. That was very nice. And next, we went to a park for picnic with all of students. There are lots of hot dogs and cookies and sweets. I could not eat anything more but we were talking and do Origami. I taught Origami to American people. We had a good time. The day was very tired.

I will write about my summer vacation. On July 28, I went to America. First I went to Fukuoka by bus with my friends. We were talking about our host family and something what we want to do in America in the bus. It took about 2 hours from our university to Fukuoka airport. Next, we should go to Haneda in Tokyo and I had good experience that is about airplane. I want to a flight attendant of ANA Company so I was happy to use ANA. I learned many things in the airplane. That was lucky. After we arrived at Haneda airport, we went to Narita airport by bus. That seems little tired but we did not because we were so looking for going to America. And then we flight to Chicago from Narita. I sent e-mail to my family because my cell phone cannot use in abroad. The flight was so long, almost 12 hours. It was the first time for me to go abroad so I was exciting. At Chicago airport, we had some free time and my friends and I wanted to buy something to drink. It was a hot day in Chicago so we wanted to iced coffee. We went to star bucks and ordered a coffee and that was my first shopping in America. We got a coffee but there was a trouble! Our coffees were all hot coffee. We surprised that but we could not do anything so we should drink hot coffee although it was hot. That was first fault in America. And then we went to Minnesota from Chicago. We went to a hotel and I stayed 8 floors with Yuki. The long day finished and we got asleep.

English License Test

I took an English license test on June 11th and I passed first test. I did not think that I can pass the test so I was surprised and I'm happy to hear that. And then today I took the second test that is interview test. My teacher said to me the interview test is not so difficult so I am okay. I was careless very much because I was said that from my teacher.
The test was not so easy for me so maybe I will not be able to pass the second test. Even if I fault the interview test, I can take the test again without first test on October. I have to practice interview for the next test if I will fault.

Shakespeare

This semester, I have an American literature class and I learned many famous people. Who is the most interest person for me is Shakespeare. I had never read his books but I know the title of his books and I was taught these contents of these books in the class. I was interested in some of the books.
Last Saturday my mother went to a library so I asked her to borrow his books. She borrowed three books for me. My mother always goes to the library on Wednesday or Saturday. She likes to read books very much and is reading every night. She likes detective novel than any other kinds of book. I like to read books, too but I do not have time like her and it is terrible. Summer vacation is coming soon so I am happy because I can read some books. I want to read all of books of Shakespeare but it never going to happen. I have already read three books; A Mid summer Night’s Dream, Othello and The Tempest. These books are very famous so many people know the title. I like The Tempest so if you have never read it, please read it soon.
Shakespeare’s work are almost 40 books so I want to read three books; Hamlet, As You Like It and The Taming of the Shrew in this summer vacation.

It was morning and I was very early, before my family got up. I had nothing to do so I read this book whose title is The Railway Children. I introduce this story.
There are three children. Roberta was the oldest and the most clever. Then there was a boy, Peter. Phyllis was the youngest. To begin with, they were not railway children. One night, their mother said ‘Father is going away’. They don’t know what happen to him and only their mother know that. They are very sad and they have to move to their new small house. They become poor and mother get ill. They look for somebody to help them and they give a kind man a letter. He helps them and their mother get well.
And then they like to look the trains near their house and they often go to the station to watch the train and talk to Perks and the Station Master. And they make some friends there. One day Roberta sees an old newspaper and she was very surprised to see it. The article says their father was in prison! They know their father is not bad man so she cut the story out of the newspaper and sent it with her letter to her friend on the train. A few days later, a happy day is come! Their father comes back on the train.
It was an interesting story and it was impression story. These three children are very good parson and kind to everyone, so they are loved everybody. To kind to the people is important thing for us to live because we cannot live alone. We have to help each other any time as long as we live. I always think I want to help anyone who wants to someone’s help. If the people smile when I help, I’m very, very glad to see that.

June 12

Today is my friend's birthday and she became 20 years old. We cerebrated her birthday at the lunchtime. I presented her some cosmetics which I like and we ate some snacks. She was pleased with the small party.
We are making some plan. First we will play badminton because we want to some exercise. Second we will go to Space World in Fukuoka during our summer holiday.

MOVIE 4

Today I took a English licence test from 1 to 3 p.m. After the test I went to a movie shop and I rent a DVD whose title is BRIDGET JONES’S DIARY and I saw it. There is a reason why I rent this DVD today, it is because today I can rent it only 1 yen!!
First I watched it in English and English subtitle so I cannot understand the story but it was interesting and good study. And then I watched it in English and Japanese subtitle. It took a lot of time but I like watching DVDs so it’s no problem.
My friend recommends some DVD whose title are ETENAL SUNSHINE and NOTTING HILL. I want to watch them very much now so this weekend I will rent one.

Test!!!

I'm going to take a test of the English license examination on this Sunday, it will the first time for me. I have studied English for the test since two months ago in a class of Washington Institute of Language but I think it is little difficult for me. It is difficult but I need this license and TOEIC score in 2 years. TOEIC test is held many times but the license test is held only3 times in a year. So I can take the test at least 5 so I’m very nervous today. I’m not good at a reading test than a listening test. I like listening test and it is always good for me but reading test is always bad. I think it is because my ability of vocabulary is very low, I don’t know lots of words or connecting words. I should memorize more vocabulary.
I took a TOEIC test on Jun 3 and I expect that the score will raise!! I will be able to know that in next week.

　　At this time we decided go to Yufuin because there is my friend's cottage. We went there by a car with listening to music. That was nice so that we relaxed very much. When we arrived there, we cleaned the cottage and we went to shopping and sightseeing. First we saw a big horse at there. There are some horse carriage and many visiter ride on it. Next we saw a train which is peinted Kaze no Haruka. I think it is famous because it is a dorama and many peaple saw it so I took a picture of it.

He was born in 1452 and he is very genius and he is little strange. First he is known as a painter and you know "Monariza" that is very famous picture. Second he is known as a scientist and he was a one of the first people to dissect human bodies. Third he is known as an inventor and you know he is the first man who thinks fly in the air. Next he is known as a sculptor, musician, poet and architect, too.
The prints say most people like and admired da Vinci. He was strong and handsome man and he was also generous to his friends. I was very surprised to hear that, he is a perfect man. And It says one interesting things that da Vinci was always well dressed, although he liked to wear unusual clothes and he loved to wear pink!!! He had some other unusual habits for his time. Although da Vinci was little strange, we own this convenient life to him. I think it is important thing and we should not forget his achievement.

It was easier to write English resume than to write Japanese resume because English resume does not need to write my self-introduction. To write self-introduction or applicant motive is very difficult and it takes lots of time so I do not like to write these things. And then I try to write an English resume and a cover letter. Next week my teacher corrects the resume and the cover letter.

I introduce a book whosetitle is The Secret Garden.I love this book very much so I read this book again and again.　Three persons whose names are Mary, Dickon and Colin are very interesting. Dickon is very good man but other two person was bad person at first.　Mary is often looks ill and she is always in a bad mood so nobody likes her. After she moved to England and meet Dickon, she changed very much! She becomes cute and kind girl. In this story, she makes a garden. I think it is not easy to make it but she does. After she changes, she always helps her friends and it is very good for her. She could make some friends because she changed her mind. On the other hand Colin is strange man at first, too. He thinks he is going to die so he often cries and he is negative but he changed as Mary after he met Mary and Dickon. It is very good story so I want you to read this book.

Today I took a practice interview at Across Fukuoka so I got up early this morning for going to Fukuoka. I got on a bus at 8 a.m., it took almost 2 hours. Before I took the practice interview, I read some books which are stuff like that in this picture and it is very useful and interesting if you are interested in Airline Company. I practiced self-introduction and how to bow, how to walk and how to speak. I hate speak front of any audience so it is very difficult for me to speak well. In my room I practice speech again and again but it was not good. I was so nervous in front of the interviewer that I had difficulty expressing my opinion. Althogh I was taught I should smile in the interview, I did not smile. I knew that give oral examination is very, very difficult so I think that I should continue practice many things. I have a lot of things what I have to do. After the interview I went to a cafeteria with my friends and we ate parfait. It was very delicious and I relaxed then. After that we went home by bus together. I was very, very tired today.

Today I learned how to write a resume in Japanese and current events. I have ever written some resume but it was not exact. The way takes lots of time and it has some rule. I was taught the way so I try to write a resume in Japanese and I had my resume corrected. It was not so interesting for me to write resume.
And then I learned current topics today and it was very interesting. Now there is a political problem in Japan. The problem is about post-Koizumi, so we expected that.
There are 4 main candidates for the presidency and I expect that Mr. Abe will be a President because he is popular by citizen. I hope that he will be a President, too.

Recently I went to a cosmetic shop and taught by a woman of cosmetic company how to apply male up and give a facial massage for making good skin. There are some cosmetic items in this picture. She gave me a lot of items and recommend some cosmetics which much my skin. I often go to the shop to have the condition of my skin checked. It is important for skin to balance between water and oil. Sometimes my skin does not have enough water so I use a cosmetic which is recommended by her. Now my skin is healthy.
And she was taught me how to apply make up when I will take some interview for get a job. I was surprise because it was very showy and it was not myself. It was too showy but I need attract attention when I will take interview so it is very useful for me and it was very fun. Now I enjoy applying make up every day.

This morning I got up at 9 o'clock!! It was too late.I met Risa who is my friend from high school and we went to karaoke from 11 o'clock. We are long time no see so I was happy to see her very much. We were singing and talking there, and after that we took a Purikura and we went to Joyful. We ate a parfait together, which is powdered green tea and it's so delicious. This picture was taken then.Then I worked part-time job from 3 o'clock so I was very tired today.

Today I had some things to do.
First, I worked part-time job from 8:30 to 3 o'clock. Second, after the work over, I met a friend from high school and we are very good friend now. We went to Geo that is rental video shop and I bought some CDs of Mariah Carey because I like her song and she is beautiful. Finally I went to Drag eleven to research about cosmetic because I have to write a report for kaigaikenshu class, so I need some information of cosmetic. I asked to my friends some questions and I have to put data in order. Today was very busy day but I was fun because I had a good time with my friend.

Today is lucky day because one class, which is communication with different culture is canceled so Emi, Kanako, Miki and I were went to bakery to rest. I was very good feeling because my time is all taken up every day.
Do you have some plans for GW, which start tomorrow? I have some plans but I will have to work part-time job every day so I will very busy in GW. Please have a good holiday.

Today I went to the dentist because I had to pull a tooth but it's not a bad tooth. Now I correct a tooth so a wisdom tooth interferes with correction. In this February I pulled a tooth, too which was left side and this time was right side. My cheek swelled up so I did not work part-time job today, maybe tomorrow is not, too.

Do you like to read some books? I like to read books especially I like novel is the best.
Today, I read the book whose title is Furou and this book says about Kumamoto in the Meiji Era. This book is written with a Kumamoto accent so it was little difficult for me to read it. I took a lot of time to read but this book was good because I could know many things about life of people who lived this era. I recommend you to read the book if you like to learn history.
I introduce the man who write this book. His name is Junji Kinosita and he wrote a lot of books, so please click here.
He researched Shakespeare and he translate his books.

Today I went to the library after my class. There are a lot of newspapers in the library. So I read today's newspaper, which is New York Times. Newspaper is difficult for me to read. But now I am studying how to read it in a class. So I could understand before I took the class.
And I lent a book whose title is 風浪. The book says Japanese history.
It is very useful to know people's life in the area. As it is not so long, please read it someday.

Bad day

Today is not good day for me because I was very sleepy. Today I have four classes. At the class, I became sleepy. So I wiped the sleep out of my eyes. Sleep is very important for our body. How long do you often sleep every day? Now, my sleeping hours are four or five. It is lack of sleep for me. I want to sleep eight hours!!! So if a day were 30 hours. Today's diary is that all because I am sleepy.

Today I introduce my plan to you. I will go to America this August to study English. I got a passport at this February! I will do home stay. I have never been abroad, so I would like going there. I want to go shopping at there and I want to take some pictures that are a view or people or thing.
It is not a travel but a class of my university. So we will have to report about something. I am going to research about cosmetic of America. And compare it and that of Japan. I think a lot of things are different, for example, price, popular maker, how to make up and any more things. I want to know that very much.
Today's kaigaikenshu class, we made an introduction to send host family. We took a picture of ourselves and put it introduction paper.

Good evening. Today I worked part-time job from three to nine, and I had one interesting thing. The cake shop sells a lot of pound cakes and role cakes, too. Then a woman came my shop, and she bought ten role cakes!! I was very surprised because it was first time stuff like that. I was so busy but I was feeling good.
I work on Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday! Please come to my shop on these days. After few days, I will take some pictures and I will pick up my blog. If you look at these pictures, maybe you want to eat that.
