Let's go to Kyoto!


I would like to introduce this website.http://www.pref.kyoto.jp/visitkyoto/en/
This website introduces all things of Kyoto. I like Kyoto, and my mother lived there when she was young. So I was interested in this website.
I think you like it as well.

First of all, this site has a lot of categories. Maybe I should tell you all of them. There are categories of Temples and Shrines, Traditional buildings, Museums, Views, Walking around university campuses, Activities, Cultural experiences, Dining, Down town district, Hot springs, and Excursion to other Kansai. These are all cool, aren’t them? I am sure you are interested in them now.
My most favorite categories are Temples and Shrines. Because in this page we can know World Heritages which Kyoto has easer. I think it is very good idea. If you crick temple or shrine that you have an interest, this site will tell you that temple or shrine’s place on map. How useful!

This site’s webmaster loves Kyoto very much. He/she knows about all things about Kyoto. When I look this site, I found one page; features. I open this page and that page is teaching the things that you should do from now in Kyoto. In Japan, autumn is known as the season of the harvest. So he/she says you should learn about the many traditional arts and the Zen mindset, passed down through the ages in Kyoto. I want to learn the Zen mindset very much since I was high school student. So I will go to Mt.Kouya.

One more good point on this website is you can know history of Kyoto as well less than 230 words. That is easy enough to learn the history. I think that you think history of Kyoto is difficult, but it is very easy. You should not know about only the history of Kyoto but also the history of Japan.

Now, I want to go to Kyoto very much. I want to see Kyoto’s mountains witches are full of autumnal tints. That must be beautiful. And my friends are living in Kyoto, so I want to see them, too. I am Japanese, and I live in Japan, but I don’t know enough about this country. Kyoto has Japanese style, so I’d like to go there.
You see this website, you want to go to Kyoto.
Let’s go with me :)!

Summer vacation plans

My summer vacation plans are not decided clearly yet. But I have a lot of things that I want to do. For example, I want to go sea and cook over a barbecue with my friends. I think we can do this thing only summer, so I decided to do soon. The other thing that I want to do is take a short trip to somewhere. I like to trip. I promised my mother to trip to Kyoto someday, so I want to go Kyoto this summer. Kyoto has a lot of memories of my mother’s youthful days. For these things, I have to save a lot of money.

My dear....

Today, I would like talk about my dearest baby.

His name is Rookie, and he is a dog; golden retriever. He came to our house about eight years ago. Yes, he is eight years old now. Eight years ago, I was twelve years old; elementary school sixth grade student. When he has just come to our home, he was very quiet dog. He was uncommon, he weren’t affable. My family worried about his character. Before he comes, we had another dog named Keeper. He was dead one or two years ago from Rookie come. Keeper could live only three years. He was very friendly and clever. Especially my mother loved him. So she worried about weather she can love next pet or not. In Rookie’s childhood, he is not clever like Keeper, and he didn’t trust us. We have a little distance each other. I was very sad for it. I had been trying to tell my love to him. And few years later, he did trust me a little and little. Now, we love and trust each other. I know that he likes me very much because when he looks at me, his face is very gentle. But he has a little weak constitution.
He was operated a few months ago. Now he is fine. I want him to live a long long life.
I put his picture a little here. Look at these! He is very pretty, isn’t he!? He is the best for me.
Do you have pets? And do you care for them? The pets are family.

TESTS!

I didn’t want to reach this season…. Here comes the hell of test!! I already take four tests; listening, reading, speaking, and international society and Japan. These four tests were all difficult for me. Is it only for me…? Of course not! I think the first grade test was easier than this year test. I have about nine tests this month. Oh my god, I must not forget to my reports. I have a lot of things that I have to do! Give me more time, please! Wait, wait, wait, don’t be in hurry. Calm down. I have enough time because this month I have my part-time jobs only seven days. So I can study for a long time. Yah, I have a highly motivation for the tests. Hang on!

Think about after these tests. After this season, the summer vacation begins, yay! I am looking forward to it! I have a lot of things that I want to do. For the time being, 29th July, I will go to the restaurant to hold a party to celebrate the end of the test with my friends.
What do you want to do after tests ;)?

BR-11: Mystery in London


I read the book titled “Mystery in London” It is the same style to the book I read before; “SURVIVE!” I can choose the development. In the story, I can be the hero. Now, Let's start my story.

This is the year 1898, and my mane is Mycroft Pound. The Whitechapel Killer attacks people with a long knife, and six women are dead because of him. That is terrible. And then I found the woman who is lying in the street. She is very ill. There are the bicycle tracks on the road. Then, this is the first choose time. I can follow the bicycle tracks or go into the Rose and Crown which is the bar near here to talk to the people there. And I choose the last one. Then, I talk to the old woman there, and she knows that ill woman. Her name is Annie, she lives in Cable Street. I decided to go to that street. Then, I found Annie’s house there. There is a woman and she teaches me about Annie. I can understand that Annie has best friend names Rosy, and boyfriend. I can choose again. Back or go. I go to Limehouse Street where Rosy lives. My choice is correct, so I can meet Rosy soon. I talk about Annie, and Rosy cry. And she teaches to me about Annie’s boy friend; Jack. But that is my first mistake. I can’t find Jack because Jack is sailor, and there are a lot of Jack in the London docks.
I must go back to Annie’s house to gather more information. In Annie’s house, I find a letter from Jack. It says that “Tomorrow my ship is going to India. Please meet me at the Rose and Crown tonight. I have something very important for you.” I can understand that the Whitechapel Killer is him! And I can know her boyfriend’s ship. The ship name is Californian. I turn to London ducks again. But there are a lot of ships, so it is difficult for me to find the Whitechapel Killer’s ship. So I ask the people where is Californian. And finally, I can find that ship. But in the ship, there are three Jack! I must choose one in the tree. I mistake two times, and last one is the Whitechapel Killer. He say he don’t know about Annie, but in his pocket, there is a knife which on blood. I catch him with the captain help. And I take him off the ship and give him to the police.

The affair is solved. It was very difficult, and it takes long time. It just likes sugoroku! I like this type of books.

BR-10: April in Moscow


I read the book titled “April in Moscow” It is a dancer’s story. I am interested in dance, so I thought I want read this book. Now, I am going to talk about this story.

The heroine in this story is April Fox. She works for the British Dance Company in Leeds. And her boss is Maria Grant. April has a friend names Laura. One day, Maria talked about good news. The news is her dance company can go to Russia to participate the Russian dance party. April and Laura was glad to hear that news.

Six weeks later, they leave Britain and go to Russia. On the plane, April and Laura talk about Moscow. They are both very happy. They are looking forward to see the famous places. At the hotel, Laura watches TV, but April is not listening to TV or Laura. She is looking out of the window. Next day, the dancers work very hard. After lesson, April and Laura go to a café and drink Russian tea. They talk about where they go next, and they decided to go to The Pushkin Museum. In the street near the museum, there is a small market. And then, they meet two men who can speak English. The two names Nikolai and Sasha. Those guys invited April and Laura to go to the country. So they go to the country together. And then, April and Sasha fall in love each other. But she is a dancer, so she has to go back to Moscow to enter the dance party. She parted from him in the country.

She comes back to Moscow, and enters the dance party. She dance without thinking about Sasha. She succeeded. And then, Sasha appears in front of April, and gives a note to her. It is Sasha’s address. They promise to meet again.

It is not only dance story but also love story. It was a good story, I think. But a long distance love is very difficult!!

BR-9: Marcel goes to HOLLYWOOD


I read the book titled “Marcel goes to HOLLYWOOD”
A little before, I read this Marcel series book. I don’t like that story but I think the book which I have read is easy to read. So I rent this book.
In this book, the hero is Marcel as well as the book I read before. Now, I would like to talk about this story.

Marcel has a girlfriend names Celine, and they are French mice. Do you remember Marcel’s job? Yes, he is a detective. One summer, they went to Los Angels on holiday. It is very interesting that mice ride on the plane and trip abroad.
They arrived at Los Angels, they went to their hotel. And when they took a little rest in their room, Marcel hears a noise. He and Celine go upstairs to the kitchen. And then, he found a note on the wall. That says “We have the girl. Don’t go to the police. Be in your office tomorrow morning at 10. We have the telephone number.” It was kidnappers threatening letter. The parents of the girl who was kidnapped read the note, too. They are surprising and scared. The father’s name is Arnold, and the mother’s name is Claudia. Arnold goes his office following the kidnapper’s memo. Marcel and Celine follow Arnold, too. At the Arnold’s office, he walks up and down. He doesn’t become composed because his telephone isn’t ringing. 10 minutes later, the telephone rings.
The kidnapper’s demands are one million dollars and bring it to the room 309 on the Queen Mary. Arnold does these things as the kidnappers say. But they demand that bring more money. At one point, the kidnappers go back to their hiding place with one million dollars in bag. Marcel and Celine get in this bag. In their hiding place, Marcel and Celine are waiting the chance. When kidnappers fall asleep, Marcel takes a telephone and call to police. Then, because of this action, the child is free and kidnappers are cached. That is the end of this story.

It was a happy ending! I like this story than the story I read before. Marcel is brave mouse. But I think it is hard to happen some accidents wherever Marcel goes.
