My favorite junior high school memory


I will introduce my junior high school memory of club activity. I had belonged to a brass band club for three years. Although I had wanted to play the sax, I took charge of the percussion. I had ever played the bass drum, the timpani, the cymbal and the xylophone. Especially, I liked the xylophone. Musical contests were took place in every year. But practices were so hard, I led full days. When I was a junior, we won the first prize in a musical contest. I was so happy. Although I've never played the percussion since I had graduated from a junior high school, I want to play it now. When I watch the percussion on TV, I gaze at it. (122 words)

Up the Dizzy Mountain



I read “Up the Dizzy Mountain”. The characters are Sam, Pip, Ben, Jojo and Mouse. Sam pushes a button that is written “DM”. DM is short the Dizzy Mountain. After that, they are in Dizzy Mountain. The country is covered with many trees and snow. A huge castle is on a top of mountain. But Pip is wearing a T-shirt, the others are wearing sweaters. In addition, Ben has his little packet that is written “Sneezing Power”. Sam has her pot of Slippery Slide Cream and Jojo has a tool that he can wipe dust. While everyone expects Pip talk, Pip plays in the snow.




Ben explains a thing to Pip. They didn’t come to play, they have big problem and they must solve it. When they are talking, they hear a cheery voice. It is a huge white bear’s. A white bear is printed on Pip’s T-shirt. The bear’s name is Buddy and it shakes Pip’s hand. The others are overpowered. Pip introduces Buddy others and they also shake Buddy’s hand. Buddy brings them to a shack. The shack is a Reindeer Lady. They are walking onto the ice. When they reach the shack, she gives them some hot broth. Buddy gives them some blankets. There is a stove and a hammock in the shack. Mouse asks the Reindeer Lady the reason she is called “the Reindeer Lady”. She will show the reason after they go outside. The children borrow some coats, boots and gloves from her. The boots size is big for Pip, so he stuffs the boots with newspapers.




They go to outside, reindeers stand up. When the Reindeer Lady gives a little whistle, the biggest reindeer comes. The reindeer is Rusty and wears a bell around its neck. It will take them to the castle. It needs some cube sugar to run. Buddy brings a heavy sledge and some blankets in the sledge. Buddy and the Reindeer Lady fix the biggest reindeer the sledge. The children jump into the sledge and Buddy takes a rein.




When Pip sings his song, the children join with his song. On the way, sledges appear. Those are pulled by wolves. It is Gungees. While Rusty is running, the children are thrown out lie down in the snow. Then Buddy finds a cave and they enter in the cave. Gungees comes. Buddy guards the children.
A leader of Gungee said “Boss don’t want you! Wants children!”(p.25 line 13) Buddy said “You’ll have to get past me first,” then the leader throws a snow ball at Buddy. It hits Buddy’s right ear. Then Ben thinks of an idea. He runs up to Buddy. He takes the packet out. He opens it and wolves begin to sneeze. They can’t attack at all.




In the cave, the elevator appears. The parting time comes. Pip gives Buddy big a hug and the children take the elevator to their homes. After they reached their homes, Pip crossed because he couldn't make any snowman in Dizzy Mountain.   


It is an interesting story. I thought that Buddy is so grave and I like it!!!!!

My favorite clothing


I like natural fashion style. I usually put on a skirt or a dress. When I was a junior high school student, I did not wear those in holidays. I also like punts so much. I usually buy clothes in Youme town and I have two favorite clothes shops there. First, it is CREF DE SOL. There is an affiliated shop in Kotu-center. It is RIO. CREF DE SOL is the first floor of Youme town and it has many kinds of items. Second, it is Honeys. The shop is the third floor and we can buy clothes cheap. In addition, I have point cards, so I can save points. Also, I often read fashion magazines in a library of this school.

A New Classroom


I read “A New Classroom”. Some people put a red fence across the playground. A lorry and a digger come to school. Students are surprised because they don’t know anything. Some men are digging a long trench. They like the digger. They come back to their classroom and they try to find out about a new classroom.

Mrs. May and some students go outside and Mrs. May takes a photograph of the digger and they see the blocks.

After that, a crane comes to the school. It lifts the new classroom over the wall. Mrs. May takes a photograph of the crane. Then Biff shouts to her but she crosses her. And it puts the classroom on the blocks. And it puts the roof on the classroom. Biff shouts to her again. Biff and Mrs. May go to the back of new classroom. It is upside down. And the crane puts the class and the roof right position.

After that, students go inside. And Wilf open the door, the place is the toilet!!

It is so interesting story. The illustrations of the page eleven is so interesting!!!!! Please read it!!

The Whatsit


I read “The Whatsit”. One day, Mum and Dad are painting the kitchen and the ceiling. And they pull the carpet, Mum finds a trap door. She opens it, they can see stairs. They have a cellar.


They go into the dark cellar. And Dad turns on a light, Kipper wears an old sheet and he imitates a ghost. And they find a thing. Nobody knows what it is.


And they carry out it, Wilma and Wilf come. They also don’t know what it is. When two merchants come and they try to load it onto a truck, a woman comes. She works in a museum and she thinks that is so important thing. She gave Dad some money and she brings it at the museum.


After few days, the family go to the museum to see it. The sign is written “SWIFT or wool winder”. It is on a table and it is wrapped wool by a mannequin.
Dad and Mum give the children a snooker table. They play billiards.

I think that cellars are characteristic of American houses. I want to play billiards because I’ve never played.

Pirate Adventure


I read “Pirate Adventure”. Biff is reading a book that is about pirates in her room, but she doesn’t like them. And Wilf and Wilma come to play and Biff and Chip tell them about the magic house and key. Then, the magic key is glow. The children become smaller and smaller. Wilf and Wilma are so surprised!!!!!

They are standing in front of the door. The windows are glowing. Biff unlocks the door and she opens it. They are in the sand. They find coconuts, shells et al. When they are playing, three men come. They go to the pirate ship to help them but the children have worried expression on their face.

They reach the pirate ship. The pirate asks them to take part in the party. They eat a lot of foods with pirates. They enjoy spending times there, so Biff likes them. Then, the magic key is glow. It’s a time to come back home. When they reach Biff’s room, Wilf has a little hat. It’s a hat that he wore on the party time. The hat became smaller and smaller.


It was an interesting story. If someone asks me to take part in a party, I will be pleased to go to the party. By the way, have you ever watched “Pirates of the Caribbean”? I’ve never watched it yet. I will watch it within this year.

I remembered my memory. The memory is about high school trip in Hokkaido. I had been there four years ago. I was surprised at big snow and I felt the cold. I played ski for the first time. I learned ski during three days. The first day, I couldn't slide. The second day, I could slide a little. The third day, I thought that I want to slide many times. But , I couldn't slide by snowstorm.

I want to go there again and I want to ski!!!!!
