My hometown Ebino

Today I went back to my hometown, Ebino in Miyazaki. I have spent good time in Miyazaki.
I bought some foods for my family. They are ikinaridango and jindaiko. A friend of mine took me to Kobai in Hakuzan street and I bought "jindaiko" for my grandparents and parents yesterday. I bought ikinaridango in Kumamoto Bus Terminal today. It was still hot when I bought ikinaridango there. I like it and I bought for me too.
I want to spend a good time with my family and I'm looking forward to see old friends of mine next week. (96 words)

two movies

There are two movies which I want to watch. One of them is "new moon, the twilight saga." I read the original book, so I want to watch it. The trailer was really fascinating me. The other is "A Christmas Carol" because I learned about it and the author, Charles Dickens, in English literature class. A friend of mine said it was great and I should watch. It seems like animation and one of the character is similar to Jim Carry. I really want to watch those movies, however, I don't have enough time to go to a cinema. I have a lot of homework, so I have to finish them. I think I can't go to a cinema until the end of the year. If it that true, I'm going to lend it at TSUTAYA next year. I wish I could go to a cinema! (147 words)

Let me tell you about the story; Tonight on the Titanic.

The back of the Titanic was rising out of the ocean. The front of the ship was
going down. Jack tried to go around the smokestack without falling. In the dark, he could barely see the tree house. It was stuck between a smokestack and railing. It was lying on its side.

Jack and Annie went to the Titanic. I knew the story of the Titanic and the difference in social standing at the age. Though I knew that, it was disappointing for me that many third-class passengers didn't have a chance to get into the lifeboats. Then, Annie and Jack were brave and wise because they decided to help third-class passengers escape.  Even if their kindness made them put in danger.  

The series of Magic Tree House is interesting. That's all, thank you for listening. (146 words)

Let me tell you about  the Twilight.

I stared because their faces, so different, so similar, were all devastatingly,
inhumanly beautiful. They were faces you ever expected to see except perhaps on
the airbrushed pages of a fashion magazine. Or painted by an old master as the
face of an angel.

It's a first of the Twilight saga. It took me for only four days to finish reading. You will be fascinated the story and finish reading it in a short time. It's a story between a human girl, Bella and a vampire boy, Edward. Edward's family is good vampires for human, but there are many bad vampires for human. It was so scary for me that, one of the bad vampires, Laurent considered Bella as snack for vampires. 

It's one of my favorite books, and I recommend it to you. Thank you for listening. (142 words)

script for my podcast 1

JULIET: But if they see you, they’ll murder you.

ROMEO: There’s more danger in your eyes for me than from twenty of their swords!

JULIET: But I don’t want them to find you here!

ROMEO: The dark night will hide me from their eyes. And if I have your love, they can kill me. I prefer to die than to live without your love.

I read Romeo and Juliet because this story is important to read the Twilight saga. There are many quotations of Romeo and Juliet in the Twilight saga. So I wanted to know and read it deeply. Edward and Bella are really similar to Romeo and Juliet except in their death.
At first, I thought Romeo was very cowardly and effeminate. However, he was a skilled swordsman. It was cool but his power became one of the causes of the tragedy. His love for her was passionate and her love for him, too. (151 words)

My plan

I am going to stay on December 24th and 25th with friends of mine. I think that we will start hanging out from 24th evening. I want to play TV games and go to karaoke with them. After we enjoy it, we will have dinner nabe and cake which are cooked by us. I really looking forward to staying the days. On December 26th, I will go back to my hometown, Miyazaki. Then I'm going to book an bus to Miyazaki today. I think the end of year is popular because many people go back their hometown, so I want to book as soon as possible. My grandparent told me that they would come to bus stop where I took off. I'm glad to see them and I want to buy something which are famous in Kumamoto for them. I plan to buy ikinaridago and Jindaiko. My parents and grandparents like Jindaiko very much and I like ikinaridago. (158 words)

Speaking Ⅳ~agree and disagree~

My group member is Misaki, Sanae and me. We think that a mini mall is needed at KGU. There are many kinds of shops in it and we think it is useful for students. We asked some students ten questions and got various answers. They are good answers and help us for the discussion.
There are four ideas about a mini mall on campus. Firstly, fast food shops should be there. Many students said that the school cafeteria, the Lawson and the bakery were crowded on lunch time. It is hard for us to have lunch calmly and buy foods quickly. Some exchange students who are from English-speaking countries also said they wanted to have fast foods. We think that we need more western-style shops for exchange students in a mini mall. There are no fast food shops near KGU and it is good to be on campus. We think that MacDonald's and Kentucky Fried Chicken are desirable.
Secondly, the mall should open on weekends and holidays. Most of food shops on campus close on weekends and holidays. When we come to school on that day, we have to buy foods at the Lawson or go to a restaurant outside campus. Then, we can buy foods on campus if there is a mini mall. In addition, students, who are busy and have no time to enjoy shopping on weekdays, can enjoy shopping for a long time instead of weekdays.
Thirdly, we expect cell phone shops on the mall. And mainstream cell phone companies are needed; au, docomo and Softbank. These days, most of students carry their cell phones everyday and think that it’s necessary for them to make contact with their friends or families with their cell phones. If they make some troubles, students will feel inconvenience or stressed. Students, who are busy with their part time job, don’t have enough time to go to a cell phone shops even if they want to change a model of a cell phone or fix their one. In case of emergency, the cell phone shops are useful for them. In addition, it’s effective to repair their cell phones during a class. We can make use of time.
Finally, we also need a 100-yen shop in the mall. Almost students fell that they need money and they have a part time job. Ant they save money by not using much money on shopping. Regarding that, a 100-yen shop is useful for them. It will be helpful for students who live by themselves.
The mini mall includes various kinds of shops, and it will make students delight. It also becomes an essential building on campus. According to these reasons, I think it’s worth opening the mall at KGU.



I have three ideas and reasons why I disagree with statements of Arisa, Mayu and Misato’s group. Firstly, I think that lockers should not be placed on campus because some students may occupy every locker for a long time. Then, others can’t use lockers and it’s not fair.
Secondly, I think that we don’t need more vending machines. It is useful to get some drinks but empty cans will increase. Then, they will be left everywhere on campus and make KGU seem dirty.
Thirdly, I think that we don’t need an underpass. On rainy day, many people will use the underpass and it will be crowded. So it’s uncomfortable to walk a crowded place. In addition, it’s dangerous that the floor is slippery because of moisture. As you can see, I disagree with their statements, and I think that we should make a mini mall than lockers, vending machines and an underpass at KGU.

Apple cake

I made an apple cake yesterday. It was a first time I made it so I was very excited. It was the reason why I decided to cook; my aunt gave me a big apple a month ago. I thought I couldn't eat all of it when I eat it naturally. Then I decided to cook it as a dessert. I wanted to make it easily as possible so I searched the recipe on the Web site. I found a good recipe which used a pancake mix and rice cooker!

This is the recipe. First, cut an apple; peal half the apple. Next, boil them with sugar and butter for about ten minutes. Then, mix an egg, a cup of milk, some boiled apples and a pancake mix. After that, lay the others with its skin on a bottom of rice cooker. Finally, bake it for about forty minutes. That's all and it is really easy to cook. (158 words)
