1/16 Today's lunch★

I went to lunch with my friend today. Because we were off duty in the 3rd class, we decided to go to lunch. Because our belly was decreasing very much, we decided that we would go to a table-d'hote store. Because we often went to Joyfull and McDonald's, those stores were dismissed. We worried about to what store goes very much. After 5 minutes, I remembered the table-d'hote store performed before. The table d'hote of the store is famous for a large serving at volume full marks.

When we arrived at the store, the parking area of the store was almost full. I thought too that this store was popular store. We had you put into a store somehow. Because this store had many menus, we were not able to choose easily. I decided on "two sorts of fried chicken tables d'hote." My friend decided on "table d'hote of a pork cutlet, chicken stew, and white-fleshed fish of the flied." He order to the large serving of rice.

He was surprised very much for cooking to come out. Because there was very much quantity of a table d'hote. We had eaten somehow. Next, when going, we did make the belly empty, we thought that we could not eat up.

The name of a store is "Donju-." Please go to the store.

BR13- Green Island

"The next day the story of Green Island was in the newspaper. The children were excited."

I thought that I read "Green Island" and I wanted children for me to read this book. I think that this book is a very good book. The picture was legible and the quantity of the sentence was also moderate to making a child read. In addition, I think that this book was loaded with various messages. The environmental problem was taken up as one of them. A message like "not dumping the garbage into a mountain" has been transmitted. Others, a message like "if a good thing is done, collateral will come" was in this book. If I get a child and come to make a child study English, I will think that I want to make this book certainly read.

1/15 Today's Dinner☆

I went dinner to eat curry with my friends. I like curry very much and especially I like hot curry.　I would like to put cheese on the topping of curry.　Many my friends eat to curry, covering mayonnaise. I am abhorred in the way of eating. I have a prejudice in how to eat curry in this way.

I went to the curry store in the Nonaka town in Kumamoto on this night. The store was located in the Heisei town, when I was a child. I had gone to the store with my parents often. Because, I became to like curry very much. Especially the curry of the store was very delicious. My favorite was curried rice with a pork cutlet.

The store relocated to the Nonaka town recently. I had not changed the taste of the curry at that time, or I was worried. We arrived at the store and looked at the menu table. Menus are increasing in number from the time of my being a child, and the side menu, the topping, and the spicy level were also increasing. Of course, I ordered curry rice with a pork cutlet and middle spicy. My friend ordered hamburger curry. I waited for curry with butterflies in one's stomach. I ate the curry of one lot and thought that curry was very delicious. The taste of the curry at the time of a child had not changed. The cutlet also came out snappily and was delicious. But, Middle spicy was somewhat hot to me. Because I have hurt my throat today. I repented that usually should be eaten very good appetite. I would like to go again.

The name of the store is the "Indian Tei". Incidentally, middle spicy is 15 times standard hotter. You need to take care and please place an order.

BR12- At the Park

"Chip went on the slide. Biff went on the horse. Kipper went on the swing. Mum went on the sea-saw."

I read "At the Park" and I thought that I was nostalgic. I had often　gone to the dog in the park like this story. I like the walk of a dog very much.
This story, the Kipper family goes to a park together with a dog. But, The park had forbidden entry of a dog. Although the dog was kept waiting outside the park in this story, I was accompanied to any parks by the dog. I remember having played with the dog. That time of me was very pleasant. Recently, I have not been carrying out to the walk of the pet dog. I think that I will certainly go for the walk of a pet dog at the time of a rest.

Week-14 My favorite high school memories

The most important memories of my high school days are activity in a baseball club. I have been continuing baseball from the time of a schoolchild. But, I had experienced neither a victory nor a second place once to my high school days. The elementary school and the junior high school were small and weak teams. I had ranked third in my junior high school days in the small convention only once. In addition, we were 1 or 2 times game defeat. The baseball club of the high school was not so strong. We lost at the prefectural convention by the game 3 or 4 times. But, we caused the miracle in the last convention. We demonstrated the power more than former, We finished second in the prefectural convention and participated in the Kyushu convention. I was the gladdest in life then. We were able to finish second place also in the Kyushu convention. Now, I belong to the nonprofessional baseball team. I do my best so that we can participate in the nationwide competition.

Essay5 Movie Review ~Romio+Juriet~

I watched "Romeo + Juliet", I thought that this movie was a masterpiece. Although this movie was arranged in the modern version in the original, words and the gist of the story were of course still originals. The famous scenes which promise love mutually in a back yard were still originals. The scene where Juliet who attached feather to the back appears first was very impressive. She was very lovely. But, I like original one better than the modern version. Although the modern version was fresh, the back side of this love story could not be expressed.

I watched at this original story in my introduction to English literature class. The background of this love story has the history of opposing both families and its dignity. The modern version did not have a peculiar atmosphere of Romeo and Juliet. I think that the original was able to express the point. But, the modern version also had good points.

First, the vision and atmosphere were impressive. Although this movie's words and the course of talk is the original, the stage is the modern age. Their everyday wear is aloha shirts, the party which tends to make noise, the inside of a church is colorful and the duel is in the beach, thus, the stage is the modern age. They say the words gravely written hundreds of years ago in this sight. I became to like this fresh gap.

Next, the movie adhered not only to words but to stage props. Although they had a sword in the original, they had a handgun in the modern version. I was surprised at such an idea. The Movie director is based also on such an idea and I think that the movie director did not make words modern languages. I think that the contents of the movie had changed if he made language the modern language.

Last, I felt very fresh the love story by the background was unfolded in the modern age. I think that the movie director would want to tell us this freshness.

Although I seldom counted on "Romeo and Juliet" of the modern version, I thought that such an arrangement was also good. I thought that Shakespeare who made a production which has the remake version made was a wonderful person even if time passes.

Essay4 Movie Review ~Camp Rock~

I watched the movie "Camp Rock" and I got energy and became motivated. I think that the person who saw this movie can get energy. Many music and dances are used in the story and vigor was on the movie. I was able to feel invigoration from the vigor. And, I felt that the last "School of Rock" was resembled for this movie in respect of the rock. The Final scene where they were pumped up for everybody was similar to that movie. Moreover, I think that it was the greatest points that much rock music was used for this movie. I think that this point gave force to the movie.

I have three points which are pleasing in this movie. First points, it is that "youth" was overflowing. I have much uneasiness towards job-hunting activities now. I worry about the job hunting activities every day. But, they were enjoying every day with a "dream" and "hope." Though they had a trouble of love and study, they were doing their best in order to do their favorite thing. I thought that I had to follow after the example of them. I got the message from them "Don't worry but move forward." I got energy from this. Next, Only good music was used for the movie. Though I seldom know about Rock of Western music, the music had tempo and a good music tone, and I also had listened to the music. Three songs which flowed in the last 15 minutes were the highest for me. “This is me” and “We Rock”, “Our Time Is Here”. I am pleased with these three songs. I was especially impressed by "We Rock" sung by all the members. This music also had the dance and "We Rock" was very powerful. After seeing the movie, I listened to music over and over again. Last, I was impressed the conversation with Mitchie and her mother. "It is not necessary to fake oneself because you have many good points." Her mother told Mitchie this word. I thought that this word was applied also to present me. I thought that this was great word.

This movie gave me energy very well. Although I was made to think, I think that was a movie which can be enjoyed with families. I think that I have few grown up , I was able to see a good movie.

Yakult Swallows ~Shouhei Tateyama~

The second phase of the Yakult Swallows. Today, I introduce Tateyama of the pitcher of the Yakult Swallows.

Tateyama is from Kanagawa. He joined Yakult by the draft commission at the 3rd place in 2002. It was not so famous for him that I got to know him till then 2 or 3 years ago. He was injured at the joining 2 year time. He cut the ligament of the right elbow during the camp. Therefore, he did not come out of the year and next year to a game. However, he did not give up, and he returned to the first team in 2005, and mentioned the pro first victory immediately. Then, he improves skills and is large-playing an active part as the ace of the right arm of Yakult now. Because he is proud of the high percentage of victories, he is called "the man not losing."


His play style is pitching which beats a batter by the straight of 153 km of fastest, and a variegated breaking pitch from a sidearmed pitch. Especially, he can throw many breaking pitches. He had pitched many shots and sliders till 2008. But, he began to pitch a fork ball, and sff and a cutter in 2008 afterwards. Otherwise, he can pitch a knucklecurve, change-up, and a sinker. I think that that the breaking pitch of these many can be pitched is a reason which he does not lose.

I want him to do my best at this tune next year also.
