I don't like snake too like him. So, I can't believe that story. He grew up through this camp.However if there is a opportunity that I touch snakes, the images of snake may changed. I don't know that... I thought that it is important to try things I didn't like. 168/10943

BR 12The story of Flying

Single planes can do all kindsof acrobatics in the sk. They fly in a big circle - "looping the loop" - or make the figure 8.
Clouds of White smoke trail behind them, to show people on the ground exactly where they've been. p.44


"The story of Frying" is  in serious two of Usborn Young readeing. This book is made from chapter1~6. This story is wrriten about the histries of planes.
I had seen planes make some shapes by cloudsof white smoke n TV dorama "Sora tobu Kouhoushitsu". I remember that it is very cool.  I think that flying like bards is dream for everyone. In thepast, Many persons invented many kinds of things for frying. I know that Wilbur and Orville Wright were brothers who lived in America. They are very famous, but other people that tryed to invnt  like planes aren't known in world. it are not only planes, there are balloons, helicopters, hang gliders... etc. They have good points each other. People that had dreams tried by repeated experimentation, so there are our lives now. I respect their expressive powers. I can't imitate like them. 191/10625

Accordions

 Do you know accordion? This is the musical instrument. Last time, "coba" appear on the TV show "Senpai ROCK YOU". He is a very famous person as an accordion player in the world. When I was an elementary scool student, I had played it. I was in a music club. So, I felt a longing for it! Today, I tell you how to play accordions. It is unexpectedly difficult. First, you must let the air out of bellows in the left-hand side. Then, you must support the accordion with your knee. Next, you strike  the keys of it. But you coldn't play the accordion at just striking. At the same time, you need to pull the bellow and push it with your left hand.Just then you can play the accordion. You can play the beautiful sounds on your how to push or pull the bellow. "coba" play it alone, but I like play it with many person. When many sounds fall on, the melody is wonderful. This instrument is deep. 172/10434

BR11 Animals at War

Then, one night, Gander spotted a grenade landnear a group of wounded soldiers. Diving between them, he grabbed it in his mouth and sprinted away. As the grenade exploded, the soldiers realized that Gender had just died saving their lives. p51

This story is about animals was used in war. I was surprised that many kinds of animal was used as  war potential. for example, cats, dogs, monkeys, mules, lions, dolphins... I didn't know that Alexander tried to tame horeses and successed. He is the greatest military leaders in history. Human and horses or dogs live together in Japan from way back. About war, we heared the things that human died, we can't hear that animals died much. Animals help human, but what can human do in war? They are good friends for us, so I think that we give many love. Animals are clever, but I can't believe that using them as armies. We must appliciate for animals, they support us all of time. They love human and we must love them too. 173/10262

Minnesota

Last month, I got a e-mail from host family in Minnesota. I feel  a longing for them.  This is impression and letter to host family when I stayed in Minnesota.

I had a grat time for a month in Minnesota. It was exciting every day for me! Minnesota is my first foreign place, so I was really nervous when I arrived here. At first, I couldn't talk well, but the people here are always kind and cheerful! I was relived. I didn't talk in English by myself before I came here, but I can try to talk in English with people even if I am mistaken. It wasn't only studying English. I learned many important things and I had many unforgettable experiences that I can't in Japan. It was surprised that many things. For example, everything is big, , many sugar, the area of basements or garden and seeing wild squirrel... etc. In the classes I learned history of Minnesota, cultures, education, wedding and adoption in the U.S. I wasmoved the best when I learned that there are many volunteers in the U.S.. I know people need support between people and I'm living a comfortable life. There are new encounters and I felt warmth of people. I think "I must study English more!" through this program. If I hadn't participated in program, I wouldn't have the feeling and I would regret. One month really flies. I had enjoyed! I'm lucky for coming to Minnesota.
Thank you, Kay and Peter for accepting me! Thank you Linda, Joel, Peggy and Katie for teaching many things! Many thanks to everyone I met! Someday, I would like to visit Minnesota again! I love Minnesota.281/10089

BR10 Stories of Princes & Princesses

What was going on? Was someone stealing the princess? He leaned out of his window and sent a flower pot flying......straight onto the head of the man stealing the princess. The princess thief fell to the ground with a thud.Colin raced from the tower and swept up the princess. 

Colin is a hero of the story, but he was the clumsiest prince in the kingdom. A princess of king's daughter was like such as him. I understand her father feelings. If I were him, I  opposed their marriage, but I think he is a lucky man!! He helped her crisis! I think he became a rial hero! 109/9808
