Scooby-Doo!!

I read "Scooby-Doo!And the Haunted Castle". I like Scooby, because he is very funny. Characters are Shaggy, Daphne, Velma, Fred and Scooby-Do. They like to solve mystery.

When the Mystery machine gets a flat tire, the van stopped in front of an old castle. This van is very cute♪They helped this old castle.

This castle is very old and large. Three people want to get this castle, but there was a happening!! A ghost show up!!

It us up to Scooby-Doo and his friends to get to the bottom of this haunted mystery.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　

This story is interesting, but words are difficult for me.

Don't look now!!

I read "Don't look now" this book reviews. It was not easy to read for me, because each sentence are long!!

John and Laura are on holiday in Venice. They lost their daughter....I think that they are really sad. Venice is beautiful but it is dangerous for them!! They met two old woman. They are mystery. It happen mystery accident in there. I can't image that.....

This book became a movie. I didn't know well this story. It is very complicated and mystery story.

This book is a lot of mystery!!

My homework!!

Last night, I wanted to do my homework but I went home at a.m.12. Because I had a part-time job. I was a little tired. I had to do my homework last night!! After all I started about a.m.2. I manage to do homework and I slept without notice....

The Witches of pendle ♪

I read <The Witches of pendle> It was easy to read. I finished reading at soon.

In England in the 1600s many people believed in witches. I think witch hunt is wrong!! This is a girl's story of her family.

Her name is Jannet Device.

They are poor, thin and hungry every day.

Her family is witches except Jannet. Villagers hated them.

One day a rich man helped her. She isn't poor. Her family were arrested as witches and died....

After a rich man died, Jannet was arrested as witches!! She became to poor again.

It is very sad story. Illustrations are eerie.

Talking☆

Last night my friend came into my house suddenly. I was surprised that, but I was very happy. I wanted to meet her. We talked and talked!! We planed "Christmas Party". Time flashed by. We had a lot of fun. I think girls really like talking with friends.

My new part-time job!!

I got a new part-time job!! It is ABC mart. Do you know this shop?? It is shoes shop. I like shoes. I found this job on Town Work. Last Tuesday, I took an interview, and I was employed. I do my best!!

Dracula

I selected "Dracula" this time.
Do you believe “Dracula”? I believe it.

Count Dracula lives in a large castle in Transylvania. He is a vampire. He drinks people's blood.
He wants to buy a house in England, so he helps law company. The company sends Jonathan Harker. If I work at this company, I don't want to go there!!

This book is a little long. It is difficult for me. Few pictures take in. These pictures are horrible. This story is very thrill!!

Under the Moon★

I read "Under the Moon" this time. This book is SF. I read SF at the first time.

Can you image that the earth breaking up? I cant image now, but it may happen.

This book is set 2522. The forests are beginning to burn, the rivers are running dry.....

At the end the earth die.

Few people lives under the moon.

Do you want to go to the moon?? I want to go to there in the future!! How much does it cost? I can't guess!!

STRANGER THAN FICTION!!

I read "STRANGER THAN FICTION" this time. I like this book cover!!

It is a very funny.

This book made up with 28 short story. All story are very fun!! These story put in the newspaper every week in England. In this book there are different stories about some of these strange and interesting.　

My recomend story is "No job in the cupboard". A man found a new job. A boss asked him to come into his office.　After a man took an interview, he made a mistake!!

He opened a cupboard's door!! It wasn't the door out of the office. And he stayed in it all night!!

I had a very good reading time.

-Pocahontas-

I read “Pocahontas”. I like this book, because it is love story.
Main characters are beautiful young Indian girl and a brave Englishman.
Her name is Pocahontas. His name is John Smith.

In 1607 the English come to Virginia, in North America. They build a town and call it Jamestown. But Indian lived there. It was their country.
Some of the Indian likes English, but other doesn’t like them.

Pocahontas fall in love with him at first sight, but their love didn’t bear fruit!!
Smith went back for England. He said nothing for her.
A few later, she married other John. She is happy. Then they went to England. I think England is very exciting and interested for Indian girl.

This is my recommends book.

November 20

We had a party last Monday. It was our friend's birthday party. Her name is Kanako. We celebrated her 20th birthday!! We made "tounyu-nabe" and "yuzu-nabe". They were very delicious. Our recomend is "yuzu-nabe". Tomoko and Sayaka made a cake. It was very cute!!! We presented "teddy bear", "photo album" and "birthday card" for her. She was very pleased this party and present. We had a very good time.

Last Monday

I ate dinner with my friend. Her name is Akina. We first met elementary school. We were very good friend!! We went to Joyfull and stayed for 4 hours here. We talked and talked. We had a good time.

The Phantom of the Opera♪

I read The Phantom of the Opera.
I think that it is very sad story, because the phantom is a lonely man. He never loved from woman. He has a yellow face, no nose and black holes for eyes!! unbelivable!!

The Opera House in Paris is a very famous and beautiful building. It is the biggest Opera House in the world. I want to go there♪ But strange things are happening. It is the Phantom of the Opera.....

The phantom fall in love with a dancer. A dancer is Christine.
She becomes popular instead love for him, but she loves Raoul.
At last, she kissed the phantom. That was his first kiss from a woman and he cried.
Christina is free and married Raoul. It is happy ending!!

Do you believe in ghosts? I believe it, but I have never seen it. I don't want to see it.

Sweets in Kumamoto♪

I worked this essay with Mihoko. We like sweets of Kumamoto. Kumamoto has many traditional sweets. So we introduce its.

First, we introduce soft-cream of Yamada Daily in Nishiharamura. This store is small, however soft-cream is very good taste. And this store have many cows and sheeps. We think enjoy this place.

Second, we introduce "ikinaridango". This sweet is very popular in Kumamoto. We can make it at home. It made of satsumaimo and anko. It goes well with green tea. You can buy only 80 yen each of them.

Next is about kumamoto Koubai. We think that Kumamoto's famous sweets shop is this store. This store have traditional Kumamoto's sweets. "Mushagaeshi" and "Jindaiko" are most famous sweets. These made of anko. These are very good taste.

　Finally, we think that Kumamoto's sweets are very delicious. We want many people to eat . We would like to find your favorite. You should try to eat these sweets.
