speakling presentation (゜口゜;)

On January 18th, I did presentation at speaking class. I was so nervous.(-ω-;)♥
But I think I did my best♥

Movie"Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street"

watched "Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street" on January 19Th. I could watch it on the release day!! Lucky★(^ω^)v
like Jonney Depp♥ but I like Tim Burton much better!! He is a famous movie director. I watched all his movies. "Charie and The Chocolate Factory", "Planet of the Apes", "Big Fish", "Sleepy Hollow", "Edward Scissor hands", and so on. Jonney often act in his movies.
In "Sweeney Todd", we can listen to Jonney the singer. He has formed a rock band before, so he is good at singing!! I could enjoy the story too. Murder scenes were so grotesque, but Tim Burton's sensibility and express skill are amazing!(≧ω≦)♥♥
I feel as if I watched the "real movie".
However, I can't recommend this movie who don't like blood.(~ω~;) To these people, I recommend "Charie and The Chocolate Factory" or "Big Fish"♥ (Especially, "Big Fish") Those movies are colorful, and beautiful. However, Tim Burton's work styles are totally different by a movie, so I think it is interesting to watch all his movies.

Book Review 2-18 "Drippy"

I choose this book from my book shelf. I have a lot of English books, but I have not read the most of those books, so I decided to read this book.
This story's main character is a drop of water, named "Drippy". He is a little child, but he wants to see a lot of world. Then, he ran away from his home, he went to a long long journey.
He is a little child, so he does not know much words, but he comes to get the word skill by his journey, and he gets a lot of friends. For example, a spider, a grasshopper. Its story is very interesting and easy to understand. In added, I could learn a lot of English skills thorough this book. I recommend this book very much!

20 years old!!

In Mifune, we had a ceremony on January 13. I wore black furisode. A lot of colorful flowers are drawn in it. Everybody said “It is very beautiful!!”

I met many old friends. I took a lot of pictures with them and talked with them. I was very glad.

After the ceremony, I went to uncle’s house and my brothers’ house with my boyfriend. They welcomed us and celebrate me. My cousins gave me a very cute piace. It was made of pearl, shell, and amezist. Thank you very much!! My boyfriend gave me a perfume. It was surprise present★

I wanted it very much, so I was very glad!! Thank you!!

I could have a wonderful day

Nasuca show

I went to Nasuca-ten with my boyfriend on January 14^th. Grand arts were very interesting!! I amazed that very much. I didn’t know these grand arts were drawn at desert. These were made of a lot of stone. So, it breaks easily.

Book Review 2-17 "Winnie the Pooh"

I was very glad to find the "Winnie-the-Pooh" at library!! I did not know that there is Pooh seriese on the shelf. I love Pooh♥ I have a lot of a stuffed toy Pooh♥
This book is the basic story of Pooh. Who is Winnie the Pooh? Where he lives? Who is his friends? there are a many interesting and pretty story in this book. Actually, I do not read the whole story of this because of my part time job is very hard... But I wil certainly read its sequel.

Book Review 2-16 "EMMA"

This book's story is very pretty♥ I like such a kind of story♥
There is a beautiful woman. Her name is Emma Woodhouse and she is very clever and rich. She also likes to arrange marriages between her friends and others. However, the arrange can't go smoothly. She always fails... In added she is a very beautiful woman, but she almost loses her own chance of love. Her challenges are always go badly, but she is trying for all he's worth. I like her very much. By the last of the story, she was able to get her own happiness at last. I think it is real happy for her. I want her to be happy with her lover.

Book Review 2-15 "Rip Van Winkle and The Legend of Sleepy Hollow"

This book contains 2 stories. Rip Van Winkle and The Legend of Sleepy Hollow.
I have known the story's name because I learned the author of these stories, but I did not know the story. I was lucky to find the book at library♥
I think the story of Rip Van Winkle looks like the story of "Urashima-Tarou" which is Japanese old story. A young man goes to a strange place, and when he returned the home, his home town changed in all over. He also become a old man.
The Legend of Sleepy Hollow is a favorite book which I am interested in. Because "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" was filmed. I have not seen this, but I want to see.

Kumamoto zoo

I went to Kumamoto zoo on November 13 with Shin-chan. I have been go to there twice with him. We like animals, so if we go there many times, we don't bore.

We saw a lot of animals there. picture 1 is "Mitsuyo-chan". Her name is same as my mother's. We laughed about that.(≧ω≦)

Picture 2 is Kapibara. I can't remember their each name, but they were so cute★ I took their movie, but it wasn't interesting because they didn't action↓↓

Picture 3 is Elephant. When we went the elephant corner, they were eating bamboo! I didn't know they eat bamboo.

We ate lunch at the park in the zoo, then we went to Ezu-lake to ride the bote.(picture 4). I can't drive bote, so Shin-chan did it. He is good at driving the bote very much!

We spent a nice day★

cloud sky

This picture is so beautiful!! isn't it? I took this on November 11th. On that day, I went to Yamato-chou with my mother. I took this in our car. It looks like river made by cloud. I haven't seen such a beautiful sky!!

Book Review 2-14 "Halloween"

I am reading the Halloween series books recently. Now, I am interested in Halloween. I have not participate to the party, so I really want to do that.
A lot of things about the Halloween night was written in this book. The origins of Halloween, A Halloween party, How to make a Jack o' Lantern, Ghosts, magic, witches and Vampires, How to make Halloween Decorations and Invitation, and so on.
I did not know the origins of Halloween was Celts. The events is popular in the United states, so I was thinking the Halloween was born in that country. But I could know the real origins of Halloween. When Halloween night, people decorate Jack o' Lantern on their house gate. I also could know how to make the decorations. It looks so interesting!! I really want to held the Halloween party with my friends!!!

part time job

I am working at Daishin seminor as a cram teacher now. I teach all the subjects to pupil, junior high school students, and high school students.
In this winter vacation, a special program of study course opened. I teach about 9 students a day. It was very difficult for me. Maybe I don't should be a teacher...

Book Review 2-13 "Halloween Horror"

This book was so interesting!! Very strange and mysterious things happen on Halloween night. Horrible ghosts appear!! They are not fake ghosts, they are real ghosts... I was scared that.
A group of young Salem teenagers want to have a Halloween party on Halloween night. Then, they found a old, abandoned house. The house seemed to be most suitable for held the Halloween party. However, the idea was not good. Real witch's ghost and real other ghosts lives in the house. They do not realise its strange sense that there are ghosts, then some strange things happen. I do not like a horrible story, so I became very scared to read this book.
But I can also learn about Halloween Night Show too. I knew the origins of Halloween.
I have not participated in a Halloween party. I want the ceremony should be commonly than now.
