A place in Kumamoto 4th

One of my favorite place in Kumamoto is Aso, especially Aso farm land. I have been there once when I was second-grade junior high school student. Then I belonged to a track and field club and we went on a training camp. Aso was a vast place and surrounded beautiful mountains. The altitude training was so hard to me. After we arrived Aso farm village, we started training soon. The training was running. The road was uphill all the way. We sometimes walked but run almost of all way. We had a rest and we went down, running. After all of members arrived at Aso farm village, we went to a spa. It was a large spa so we enjoyed bathing and relieved our exhaustion. The dinner was delicious and we could have as mush as we wanted. Some friends of mine had 10 jellies. We stayed at a cottage and there were a wide window on the ceiling. So we could see beautiful stars, lying down. On next day morning, we did light jogging. And we played at a health land. There were lots of athletics. For example, there was a big maze. A friend of mine and I finished all of them first. However, it was so hard and I felt sick. And I got carsick as we back to our high school by bus. I got worse and worse even I arrived at my home. In the end, I was absent from school the next day.
There is a bad memory of Aso farm land, but I like there and I want to go there again without a hard training. (273 words)

A place in Kumamoto 3rd

One of my favorite place in Kumamoto is the riverbed under the Kokai bridge. I have been there as my circle members and I had the barbecue twice. There is a place where we can play some sports. I think it is good to play the catch with family and friends. Some children play soccer and tag. It is fun to throw stones to the river. I competed with friends of mine who can throw it for the furthest. It is near the KGU so I like there. (89 words)

MINMI

I like MINMI very much. I often listen her songs these days.My favorite songs are sha na na, summer time, the perfect vision and t.t.t. I try to be able to sing t.t.t. on karaoke so I am remembering the lyrics. However, he songs have very unique music and rhythm so it is difficult to remember the lyrics rhythmical. She feats with lots of artists. For example, 16 infinity, shonannokaze, pushim and so on. The song which was feat pushim is very cool song. When there are some people who likes it, I want to sing with at karaoke. Her new songs come soon I 'm looking forward to listen it.  (112 words)

A place in Kumamoto 2nd

My favorite place in Kumamoto is "TaPPie" at the Shower street. It is a little small but it is good to talk with friends closer. I hadn't have tapioca until I started to live in Kumamoto. I remember clearly as I had it first time. Two friends of mine who are from Kumamoto, one of my friend who is from Miyazaki and I went there about one year ago. When we arrived there, there were girl high school students. My friend told me that it was popular to girl high school students. I ordered a vanilla smoothie, the way to make it made me surprised. It was used one block of butter to make the vanilla smoothie! I can't believed it. After I had it, I became to be like it very much. It is springy and a little sweet. In addition, there are lots of kinds of flavors. I like smoothie very much, especially a yogurt smoothie. I don't try many kinds of flavors, so I want to try various flavors. There are many shops of tapioca but I think Tappie is the best. (185 words, total 5,310 words)

My other class

My favorite other class is Honors English Seminar. I have two reasons why I like this class. First oh all, this class is high level class so I can study English that I can't take another English class. This class is advanced, so sometimes it is hard to follow its speed. However, I can get good opportunity to study hard and acquire English knowledge. Secondly, as Mr. Sato’s term, he speaks English only so I feel like I take class abroad. I can’t wait to take next class. (88 words)

A place in Kumamoto 1st

One of my favorite place in Kumamoto is Kumamoto Bus Terminal. I have three points that I want to talk to.
First of all, the main reason why I visit to this place is to take the express bus, Nanpugou, to go back to Miyazaki. It is convenient place because I can buy something to my family and grandparents before I go back to Miyazaki.
Secondly, Center plaza is good. It is the underground shopping mall. There are various shops so I often enjoy shopping. I especially like "Lio." This shop sells cheap and cute clothes. I have the point card. I like ikinaridango which is famous in Kumamoto. The inikaridango is sold at Center plaza and it was very delicious. Every time I go there, I buy some ikinaridango.
Finally, the underground of Hanshin is next to Kumamoto Bus Terminal's one. It is the area for eating and drinking. I like and it's fun to walk around only.
Kumamoto Bus Terminal is convenient and useful.I feel time passing fast as I am there. (170 words)

M.T.H #11 ~Lions at Lunchtime~

Suddenly, he had a new plan. "Get under that giraffe," he whispered. "Now
you're the one who's nuts," Annie whispered back. But Jack grabbed her hand. He
pulled her over to the giraffe and underneath it. The giraffe's legs were so
long, Jack and Annie could stand up under it.

It was interesting when Jack and Annie was able to scare hyenas. I imagined that hyenas were so dangerous but I knew they were coward. I didn't know that Masai warriors got honey. They seem that they don't wear protective clothes, so I wonder they are bitten by bees.
I want to visit Africa and see various wild animals in the future.

M.T.H #10~Ghost Town at Sundown~

Jack didn't have time to think about what he was seeing. He knew it might
be his only chance to escape. Using all his length, he pulled himself into the
saddle. "Go, Dusty, go!" Dusty took off at full gallop over the prairie. Jack
held on for dear life as they split the wind.

It was the story at the Wild West. I was interested in Wild West shows, so it was exciting and interesting to me but it was a little long. The most memorable seen was the time when Jack rode on the back of Dusty. I think he was sure of cool at that time. Annie puts themselves in difficult situations every time. However, it led them to successes. I want make a friend like her someday!

I found the interesting expression that "His mouth dropped open." This expression made me image his face clearly.

My treasure

My treasure is all of the letters from some of my friends and so on. I’ve adored exchanging letters from 13 years ago. I have letters from two special pen pals and a precious letter of mine.

First of all, I’ll write about one of my special pen pals, Midori. The beginning that I’ve started to be like exchanging letters is she. She and I went to the same kindergarten and we were best friends. However, before we were the second-year student, she moved to another city. After she moved, we started to exchange letters. I couldn’t wait to receive letters from her because not only the contents but also the envelopes and seals of her letters were cute, funny, humorous and unique. I keep in touch with her still now.

Secondly, the other of my special pen pal is Manami. She and I have been friends since we went to the same kindergarten. We were not in the same class at elementary school. So we started to exchange letters. Although we were able to hand over the letter to each other, we have sent letters by post. She often used to send me letters with something. For example, a necklace, beautiful stone, character goods which I liked and so on. Some of the letters hadn’t enough postage.

Thirdly, my precious letter is from my mother. When I was a first-year elementary school student, she gave me a letter. She encouraged and praised me in the letters. In addition, her handwriting is beautiful and easy to read. I love it so I used to imitate it and read her letter again and again. The letters is in the drawer of my desk in my hometown.

After that, we went to Wander City to take photos, putikura. I thought that machine was one of the latest machine because the definition was good and there were various pens.

Volunteer activities

I have started to visit Toubu YMCA to converse in Japanese with foreigners who study Japanese. I visited there on last Thursday and I met my partner to converse. My partner is Henni who is from Indonesia. I had never met some Indonesian. He spoke Japanese well but he seemed not to be good at kanji. He told me that we wanted to be a missionary at the Catholic Church in Japan so we studied Japanese. He is amazing because he can speak 5 languages which is Indonesian, Javanese, Italian, English and Japanese. I want to help him speak Japanese. When we have a time, I want to talk to him in English.
I'm looking forward to see him next time. And I hope that this volunteer of conversation will be a worthwhile opportunity for he and me. (138 words, total 3'845 words)

“Hooray!” cried Annie. Jack looked over at her. She was clinging to the fin of
another dolphin! Her dolphin was moving through the water. Jack grabbed the fin
of his dolphin. Then the two dolphins swam smoothly through the water, pulling
Jack and Annie toward the reef.

M.T.H #8 ~Midnight on the Moon~

“Look!” Annie cried, laughing. She bounded past Jack-almost flying
through the air. She landed on her feet. Then she jumped again. “I’m a moon
rabbit,” she called.

I think I got some knowledge of the moon to read this book. I didn't know the temperature of the moon before I read it. So I was very surprised because no air protect the moon from the sun’s rays, so daytime heat reaches 260 degrees and our blood would boil if we went out there. It is said that people would live on the moon future. However, thinking of it, I think it is a little possible.

It was funny that Jack left the memo, we came in place for all children, after he found "we came in place for all mankind."

I expected Morgan was peanut, it was a true. I want to know the secret of Morgan soon.
