trnsportation

I often use bus in order to go to school and work place. Bus is comfortable, because there is warm and quite. I reading book, listening music in there. Next, I like to ride car. I don’t have car license, so I always ride the seat next to the driver. Car can go to place endlessly. So, I like it. My most favorite transportation is airplane. I thought it is very interesting. I can see scenery from sky. It makes me exciting. Moreover, airplane is fast than other transportation. Of course, another transportation is good too. Train isn’t influenced by weather.

The magic School Bas and the Electric Field Trip

This book is written electricity. I felt that as if I really go to power plant. And so, I talk about electricity.
Most power plant use heat to make electricity. they burn fuels such as coal, oil, or natural gus. This good points is fuel-burning plants can make huge amounts of power. On the other hand, bad point is they all make air pollution. Some plants get heat from nuclear reactors. The good point is these make huge amounts of power without air pollution. The bad point is they create nuclear wastes. Back at making electricity, fuel is anything we burn to make energy. Dump truck tipped up, and trumbling down the coal chute. Overhead there was a metal pipe with water in it. The fire was making the water boil. And the boiling water was turning into steam. The steam was travelling at high speed. It is through the pipe and into the next room in the power plant. There was only one thing in the room- an enormous machine called a tribine. It had blades like a fan, and when the steam pushed on the blades, the the turbine spun around. The turbine made a mental shaft spin, too. It spun around the shaft and slid along to the next part of the power plant. The shaft led it to the generator- the part of the plant that actually makes electricity. This generator was really big. On the outside were coils of wire. On the inside was a magnet. The shaft turned the magnet, and the moving magnet made electric current run in the wire. Next the electrons got smaller. On the way it passed transforms, devices that made the voltage in the higher or lower. Higher voltage helps the current travel the long distance from the plant to the places that will use the electricity. Lower voltages are used in small buildings and homes.
In this way, electron is made and used. (325 words)

Pride and Prejudice

"This famous novel by Jane Austen is full of wise and humorus observation of the people and manners of her times".

They become attracted to each other. Finally,they get over pride and prejudice, and get married.
The story was very comlicated, but it is of interest to me that they understand eachother over time. (170 words)

My favorite musics are J-pop, K-pop, and western music. l like the best EXILE in japanese musician. They are consist of fourteen members. Their name is HIRO, MATSU, USA, MAKIDAI, AKIRA, ATSUSHI, TAKAHIRO, SHOUKICHI, NESMITH, TETSUYA, KEIJI, KENCHI, NAOKI, and NAOTO. They are separated dancer and singer. Mainly, ATSUSHI and TAKAHIRO sing a song, but sometimes SHOUKICHI and NESMITH sing. They have beautiful voice. When they sing a song, the rest of members dance around them. Their dance is so dynamic. Last December, I went to their concert. I was fascinated their performance. Next I' ll talk about BIG BANG. They are korean musician, but they have already debuted in Japan.

Advice for next year's student

I think that writing for second grade is very hard. You should write blog regularly and send typing homework every week. In addition, you have to write book review. There are many English books in the library. Difficult book make you lose energy. So you should select your favorite genre. Like this, you have a lot of homework, so I recommend that get an early start on everything. In doing so, you must come easy. 
 If you will be failed writing class, it's harder than ever to get credit. Because you have what must to do at third grade. Firstly, you will start job hunting at third grade. It is tough than I thought. You would rather get credit at second grade than put off writing at third grade. You also have to take zeminar. It is technical study. You will have various works between school and other things. So I advise to you getting credit within second grade.
 But writing blog is good for you. The reason is you need to look up unknowing words. So you can increase your vocabulary. Besides you can learn how to use computer. You have to use computer in this class. If you are not good at using computer, you must improve your computer skill. I also not good at using it, but I think improve my computer skill thanks to this class.  You also have a chance to watch movie. Maybe you never watched it. The movie is never seen before movie, but it is funny. So you don't get comfortable. The class is heavy, but you will find out something new by writing class such as mistakes in grammar, new expression in English and so on.  Finally, I hope you can take credit of writing class and improve your English skill. Good luck studying! (305 words)

Sports playing and watching

 I used to played softball in junior high school. I liked to play it. I covered center, and I was lead-off batter. The hardest thing was running uphill until over off season. We didn't practice with ball in off season. So I didn't feel happy. On the other hand, I like having a game the best. I was so pleased to hit a home run from strong pitcher. We took third place in a prefecture tournament only once. We never been strong, but we made me my best. Thanks to participated in club, I got physical and mental strength. I like not only playing sports but also watching one. Especially I like to watch soccer, volley ball, baseball, and figure skating. I almost watch Japanese game. I like Honda Keisuke in them. They are more and stronger every year. I am looking forward to 2014 FIFA world cup. When it comes to soccer, when Nadesico Japan became number one FIFA world cup, I watched the game. I was moved by them because they stayed course over finished game. Sport move people, so I like it! (185 words)

Video games

 I used to play video games when I was elementary school student. I liked to play nitendo64. I accepted it as Christmas gift. I often played Mario kart with friends and my sister. I used donkey or kupper in this game. They can blow off other player because they are heavy. I also liked super smash bros. The game is gathered popular character in computer game. I used Link and Kirby. Link is just string and he has sword. Kirby swallow another character and copy special skill of other characters. So Kirby is so useful. I had played Guitar Hero of wii only one time. I have to play tune with guitar. I had never played guitar, so it was difficult for me. I had played the game at America; M host family's son was so good. I want to play it if I get another opportunity. Like this I like to play game, but I had played game too much, my eyes went bad. (165 words)

Animal and pets

I don't have pets now, but I had three hamster and gold fish in other times. They were so cute, but they had a short life-span. When they died, I was so sad. If I will have pet in the future, I want to have cat. In the cat, I want to have Scottish Fold. The name came from the English for fold.so their ears are folded. It is so cute.  I also like dog. Dog is smart and I can take a walk with them. I like pug the best in dogs. Pug isn't nice face, but I like the point adversely.  They are snort dog, but I think that's cute! If I could be animal, I want to be giraffe, because they can look at a view from high above. I want to look at world where they are looked. I want to be tiger too. They are called king of all beasts, so I want to be unbeaten.(164 words)

Cold weather

When I was child, I liked cold weather, because I could play in the snow and had chance of having break from school. But I don't like cold weather now. I have a cold constitution, so I feel cold soon. In addition, it is hard for me to get up early at winter. I am not tempted to get out of bed. On the other hand, I like kotatsu because it warm up me. There is nothing better than eating mikan while sit under the katatsu. To solve coldness, I affix hokkairo on my back. Then the coldness let up. I also eat hot meal such as soup and cocoa and nabe. I recommend nabe in winter season. We can eat lots of vegetables and it warm myself. It is good for soaking in the tub for warming me too. But If I soak in the tub for a long time, I might get dizzy.  (157 words)

Where do you eat your lunch?

I almost eat lunch at my house, so I can save money, but if I have lunch at school, I bring a lunch box. But it is not elaborate. I cook one meal for lunch box in the morning, and the other accompanying dishes are leftover from last night's dinner or frozen meals. So it takes hardly any time! When I go shopping with someone, I go to restaurant or cafe for lunch. Once I went to Cafe where I have been on my mind, but it was closed. I was so shocked. I still don't go to there. When I go to downtown, I recommend going to Tatsunoya for lunch. There are three types A to C. I almost order C set, because it come with ramen, fried rice and pudding. By eating it, full stomach. In addition, it is delicious. I also like UCC. The shop is in the first basement at Tsuruya and traffic center. There is delicious waffle. I like to eat it with ice cream. Please try it! (174 words)

Where are you when you are writing this?

 I almost write this assignment at 14 gokan. There are people who listing music, talking with friend, laughing over PC. Maybe he must watch funny thing. It is cold today so everyone seems to wear warm clothes. This is nice place to write paper, play video with friend. Since here is easy atmosphere than library, we can relax. On the contrary, sometimes here is difficult to concentrate because it is loud. So I don't recommend here if you want to concentrate assignment. My house doesn't connect internet, so I can't do assignment with computer. It is so inconvenience. So I have to definitely do homework at school, but maybe I don't do homework at my house. There are various allurements such as TV, book, bed, and food. I think that I am more suitable school than my house.  Come spring vacation, I don't need to come to school so I will work hard until then. (158 words)

Plans for vacation

In this spring vacation, I am certainly busy, because I am looking for job. In February, I will write 7 entree seats and I’ll participate in some company information session. From March, maybe interview will start. I’ll just have to keep working! Also I will go back Oita of my hometown. I am going to enjoy short rest. I have some plan when I go back there. Firstly, I play with my friend, but they have job, so I hope they are off day. Secondly, I want to meet my grand parents. My grand farther gets sick a lot and my grand mother broke a bone last December, so I am worried about it. Finally, I will write letter for my host family. We keep in touch with each other, but I can't still write letter. So I want to write it during spring vacation. I think that I want to grow up as person by this term.(159 words)

My favorite American novel

I like reading books and watching movie, last year I watch a movie in a class it was very nice and became my favorite one, now I’ll talk about the novel.

I like it because it’s like a quiz, because it is hiding anything hints about the story. For example, especially I am worried about the “cuffs”. It is the main key word in the story I think, because it is memorial for Gatsby and Daisy. It was his treasure and symbol because of rich. But I think it has another mystery. I want to read it again and think about it. By the way, do you know that Daisy is the flower name you know, it’s called Hinagiku in Japanese. The cord for flower is innocent.

"This was the story of two young people who were very much in love"

I read "NEW YORKERS". The book is made up five short stories. These stories are different from each contents. But, the all stories are set in New York.
I was deeply impressed first story. The title is "The Christmas Presents". I will talk about the story.
Della and her husband Jim live in New York. They are very poor. Counting money, she had only one dollar and eighty-seven cents. Because the next day was Christmas, she wanted to send present for her husband. He has gold watch, but it had no chain. So, she thought of buying the chain.

Foods in world

I introduce world's foods. First of all, I will talk about Italian foods. There are three good points. Italian foods have a lot of menu such as pasta, pizza. Moreover the price is cheap comparatively. It takes a time to make just right. On the contrary, the food tend to enter tomato and cheese,so person who don't like them hard to eat italian foods. Also the food contains a lot of oil,so make us fat! Next I talk about Mexican foods. The good points are many kinds of alchol, reasonable price. The bad points are too spicy and hot. I don't really eat mexican food, but I ate tacos onlyu one time. It was good for me. I want to more eat the foods. In contrast, I often eat chinese foods. I especially like ramen and fried rice. Chinese foods can enjoy atmosphere of China by music and costume. But, the food is expensive.Maybe the food is great luxury foodstuff in the menu. Also the food uses a lot of oil, so I feel be oily a little. Finally, I talk about Japanese foods. Above all, Japanese food is healthy and low calory. It abounds in sorts like of Yakiniku, Sukiyaki, Okonomiyaki, and Sushi. Additionally, the price is reasnable. But Japanese foods is difficult to eat, because you have to use chopsticks. Additionally, high number of fresh foods.
