About this writing class

I have taken this writing class in this semester and I had a wonderful time. I learned about how to use a blog site and write complex and interesting sentences. I have been practicing my typing skill over using a web site "e-typing". However, my typing speed and accuracy gradually get inferior. I have to recover this skill as soon as possible.

I want to try my best in the next semester. See you.

July 20

I had an exam in the evening, but I had other things to do.

First, I had to go to Higo bank to convert yen into pound. I arrived there at 8, but the bank open at 9. The spare time is a hour. I decided to go to Shimo-tori. However, almost all shops were closed. I didn't have any idea what I should do next. 50 minutes passed, as I was hungry so I went to a McDonald to have a breakfast.

I had a morning dish. As I had never eaten it since then, I was very happy. The picture is this. Amazingly, something sweet like syrup is used in the buns. Therefore, the hamburger smelled sweet. It was delicious. In addition, it was the first time for me to eat 'McFLURRY'. The price is 300 yen. Although it was a little expensive, the taste was very good.

After eating my breakfast, I went to Higo bank again, and converted yen into pound. Then, I went to Hikari-no-mori to watch a movie with my friend. The guests are only me and my friend. The room looked like a reserved room. We enjoyed watching the movie as if we had been rich men. It was a precious experience. I will never forget this happening.

Book review 1-13


I read this book "Love or Money?". I think it expresses the tenacity of purpose of human beings to money.
One day, Molly Clarkson and her husband hold a party and invite her relatives. However, they have designs on her money because she has lots money. Some of them hope her death. After that, Molly died in her bed. It's a murder case. A detective and inspector investigate people who were in the house last night. Who is the criminal person? I do not write the name on this post.
Human beings yield to temptation to get money and other advantage. In order to meet the aim, they plot many things. Human beings are wonderful creatures, but on the other hand, they are also very ugly. I think this story include human's mentality.

July 17 -One day after a damp day-


It has been damp weather these days. I do not like such weather.
One day after a damp day, I went to a yard. Then, I found a strange thing in front of me.
It looked like a mushroom, but it was so bitty and slim. I had never seen such a thing since then, so I took the picture. In spring, I usually see horsetails there. In a rainy season, I saw it. What do I see in fall and winter? I am a little lucky because I get chances to watch a seasonal plant or thing.
I thought it is a poison mushroom. Of course, I did not eat it.

July 17 -My pets in a rainy season-



These are my pets. They often visit my house and stay on a wall for a while because many bugs come there.
First creature is a tree frog. He/she often is on a wall of my house. He/she eats little bugs very fast. Although I want to watch the moment, but I often miss it.
Second is a gecko. He/she also eats little bugs in a moment. His/her tail is a little cute.
They are on a wall before I notice them. They don't often move quickly because they have to catch and eat their foods.
Last is a little dragonfly. I found him/her at a living room. He/she looks beautiful, I felt. He/she perhaps was lost. He/she dangle on a rope.

There are many forests near my house. Therefore, these wild animals come there. I like them because I can know the lives of them and I think that they are summer features.

Book review 1-12

I read this book, “The Canterville Ghost”. It is the story that An American family moves to a Ghost house in Britain. This is funny story. The author is Oscar Wilde. I do not know about him, but after reading this story, I am interesting in his works a little.

The funny points are that American family does not fear the ghost and the ghost generally loses his confidence as a ghost. I think that American people don’t fear ghost very much in my first impression.

I liked these sentences, "'Pinkerton's Famous Stain Cleaner will clean it up in a second." I first read this sentence, I somehow had laughed. I feel as if I had listened to a voice of a M.C. of a TV shopping. I think that my sensitivity is a little different than ordinary person.

However, I think it is a little funny and interesting story. I enjoyed myself reading it.

Book review 1-11


I read this book "KING ARTHUR".

Arthur was born to Merlin and Igraine. As Merlin had a supernatural power, Arthur also has a magical power by nature too. One day, Merlin took him to the King Uther, but the king was ill soon. When he was about to die, Merlin predicted that Arthur would be the next king. Actually, Arthur pulled the sword which stuck on a stone near a church. It was the testament of the King. So he became the new King.
He fought the Saxons, and made it the most important town in the country. Then, he got married to Guinevere.
One day, Arthur told Merlin that he broke his sword in a battle, then Merlin said to him to come together to find the best sword in the world. The sword was at the middle of a lake and he got it. The name of the sword was "Excalibur".

After that, many evil people planed to take the Excalibur away from the King Arthur. However, he kept his sword in his hands. Finally, he made the Knights of the Round Table in Camelot, and the great king Arthur was dead in a lake. When he was dying, he asked his knight, Bedivere, to throw Excalibur into the lake, and he told him that a miracle would happen. Then he died.

I knew the King Arthur and his sword, Excalibur. However, thank to the book, I got much information about him. ‘King Arthur and the knights of the Round table’ is very popular story. Please read the story if you have time.

Hip, hip, hurray! I got a new score in e-typing today. The score is 313 points, and the level is 'Tatujin'!! I had never got such a great score before, so I am very happy now.
However, idleness is the devil's workshop. I have to challenge to get a better score. Yesterday, I happened to see a woman who was typing very very fast in e-typing. She often got these scores, 'S', 'Good', and 'Tatujin'. Even the best man meets his match.
Therefore, I'll devote myself to advance my typing skill!!

Essay 6 -My favorite movie-


I’ll introduce about my favorite movie.

It’s “Sen to Chihiro no Kamikakushi”. It is called “Spirited Away” in English. It is an Academy Award winning 2001 film by the Japanese animation studio ‘Studio Ghibli’, written and directed by famed animator 'Hayao Miyazaki'.

At the film’s beginning, Chihiro, a ten-years-old girl, and her family are on its way to a new home in a new town. When her father gets lost taking a short cut, they discover a mysterious entryway through a tunnel. Going through, they find a strange, beautiful grassy landscape, which they assume to be an abandoned theme park. The parents find stall piled with food and start eating and soon lose control of their hunger. Then, her parents have turned into pigs.

This is my favorite scene because I think it has something to do with a scene of the Japanese myth. I am interested in it, especially, the story of 'Izanaginomikoto' and 'Izanaminomikoto'. They are said the creators of Japan in the story, and the scene of the film is similar to it.

First, the tunnel which Chihiro and her family go through is 'Yomotuhirasaka', I think. 'Yomotuhirasaka' is the entrance to the underworld, and actually, they go to the strange world. The tunnel is the gate of the different world!

Second is the scene that her parents eat foods putting on a stall. After eating, they have turned into pigs. The phenomenon is similar to Yomotuhegui. It is the phenomenon that person who eats foods which are in the under world cannot return to the present world. Chihiro’s parents cannot move and escape and finally, they are arrested by officers.

There are many scenes which are worth to watch in the movie. I enjoyed myself watching it over preparing the similar things between Japanese myth and this film, however, this film also gives us more interesting and important things. I recommend it and please have an interest about Japanese myth.
