Survival Adventure



I read "Survival Adventure". This is an interesting story. Main characters are Chip, Biff and Wilf. Chip and Wilf set up a tent in a garden of Chip's house. They have been wanted to live in the tent, so they bring a survival kit. Those are a first- aid case, some chocolate, and a stuffed toy bear. Because it looks like rain, Biff brings an colorful umbrella. In this evening, it rains. They can't live there, they set up a new tent with a chair, a drawer and a large cloth in Chip's bedroom. And Biff goes to his bedroom and she talks with them, the magic key is glowing. A survival adventure is going to start!!




At that very moment there is a girl in a wood. She is Amy, she is on a long journey with her family. They stack everything in wagon train. Her father worries about her, so he said that you must not go anywhere. However, she goes to pick some blue berries. In the wood, she loses her way. And she is walking, she catch her right leg on a trap. She shouts out " Help me, somebody."(p.9 l.4-5)




At just time, Little Fox looks for honey in the wood. Although Little Fox looks for it, Little Fox can't find it. Little Fox knows the reason. A brown bear took all the honey. Little Fox is walking as he watches for the bear.




Because Little Fox hears Amy's voice, Little Fox runs to her help. But Little Fox tries to get it off, Little Fox can't. Also, the bear hears her voice. Because he doesn't like people in his part of the wood, he looks for her.






Chip, Wilf and Biff reach the wood with their packs. The children try to help Amy. When they open the trap, Amy hurt her leg. The first-aid case is useful. Biff and Little Fox try to break the trap with a big rock. Suddenly, the bear appears. Biff opens the umbrella and spin it round and round. The bear is so surprised and he runs away. And it rains, so the umbrella is so useful.




After that, Little Fox catch a fish with his hand!!!!! Because everybody doesn't have a fire, Little Fox make a fire with a bow and stick. Biff and Amy make a shelter and Little Fox cooks the fish. They eat it, the blueberries and the chocolate. Amy begins to tell her parents. While is talking, she begins to cry. Suddenly, Biff grabs the umbrella and opens it and three men comes. Biff is so surprised. One of men is Little Fox's father. Little Fox is so laughs. And many people come. They are relatives of Little Fox. Amy tells them her parents.




The next morning, Little Fox father finds the wagon train of Army's family. She can meet her family again. Her mother is crying. And her family have been stuck the wagon for three days. They try to pull the wagons. After that, the wagon trains can ran. After they saw her family off, the magic key begins to glow. Biff gives Little Fox the umbrella.




The next day, the children set up the tent. Because Biff wants to make Chip and Wilf laugh, she thinks. Floppy's silhouette fall in the tent.

My favorite elementary school memory


I have pleasant memories of elementary school, so I will introduce my memory of rope jumping. When I was a student in lower grades, I had liked rope jumping. When I was a fourth year student, I was absorbed in jumping rope. At that time, double skip was so popular among students of our grade. Because I wanted to be able to jump double skip, I practiced hard. I practiced it after lunch and school. I have a friend who had already jumped double skip, so she taught me secrets. After few weeks, I could it. I was so glad. After few days, she could jump triple skip, so I was so surprised. I also practiced it, so I could jump triple skip only one time.

My favorite travel


I want to travel Kyoto with my friends because I like so Japanese history. Although I had been there when I was a junior high school student, I did not enjoy enough. I want to go to the Nijyo Castle and the Heian Shrine and so on. When I traveled there for school trip, I visited the Kinkaku Temple, the Ginkaku Temple and the Kiyomizu Temple and so on. The Kinkaku Temple was so beautiful and I was so surprised. The Ginkaku Temple was so tasteful and the Kiyomizu Temple was so wonderful. Also, I want to visit the Mibu Temple. It is concerned with Shinsengumi. When the historical drama “Shinsengumi” was broadcasted on TV, I watched it every time. I want to go there early.

My favorite color


My favorite colors are red, orange and green. Red and orange make me so happy, when I am tired. Because clothes of orange unbecoming me, I collect small articles of orange. And green mend me. Also, I want to wear clothes of light blue in every summer because I want to feel cool. I have four clothes of light blue. I think that colors express seasons. In spring, I usually see clothes of pale colors in clothes shops. In summer, I usually see clothes of cold colors in clothes shops. In fall and winter, I usually see clothes of warm and basic colors in clothes shops. Because I am interested in colors, I think that I want to take the certificate examination of colors.
