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.

Yusukedera

I will introduce a new country!!!!!!

Hello everyone. This is Keito. We researched about the country, Euskedera. We could find it a nice country. So now we are going to tell you about Euskedera! First, I want to tell you about the history of this country.

This country was created 300 years ago. So this is new country. And this country was created by a girl. Yes, the girl is Shimady Alexandra Ai I. She has mother who is Spanish and father who is French. One day she had a fight with her parents. Because she wanted to eat more grapes but her parents never allowed her. Ai said, “I wanna eat more grapes! Give me more grapes! I can never live without grapes!” But her parents got amazed of her and they said, “We felt utterly scandalized. If you keep eating grapes more than this, you’re gonna be grape girl!” Hearing that, Ai ran out of her house. And she said, “I wanna eat grape everyday. I wanna live among grapes. To make my wish come true, I have to make country of grape…” And she said in succession, “I have to think about the design of my country” She had a good idea soon! “I know! I will make my country between Spain and France so I use a country’s design of flag!” And the flag is made. This flag has France’s flag, has 3 lines and three kinds of grape, one is green, one is purple and one is pink. And she made her country by herself finally though we don’t know the way.
Now the president of Euskedera is Shimady Alexandra Ai III. But this country is dictatorship. So there is no right for nations. Everything is decided by Shimady. So there is no government, too. So when she is cross, many people will be capital punishment. But when she is happy, she gives nations bonuses. So everything depends on her humor.

Next, I am going to tell you about traditional clothing in this country. This country is famous for grapes. So traditional clothing has grape designs. This country’s traditional clothing is T-shirt and half long pants. They are so simple. A big grape is on the center of the T-shirt and two grapes on the pants. And what is more, there are shoes that ha design of grape!

Finally, I am going tell you about the sports in this country. Euskedera has a traditional sport. It is Grape Tennis. It has almost the same rule as ordinary tennis. But some are different from it. First, they use grapes instead of balls. Second, if you hit grapes strongly and crash it, you will lose. So you have to be careful not to crash grapes. Third, if you eat the grape, you will be told to get out of there. Be careful! But it is so fun sport. I hope you like it.
That’s all of my part! Thank you for listening!

My country has famous fruits. First it is banana. Banana was traditional fruits. Latter, she will talk about banana’s interesting history. Second, it is strawberry, which color is red. However, it is bigger than Japanese strawberry. It is so sweet. Third it is grape. These are colorful, green, purple, and pink. It is grapes of a seedless type. That size is like the table tennis’s ball a grain. So we can eat more. Citizen can eat green and purple. However queen Ai can only eat pink grape. She likes it very much, so she eats every day. It is expensive. It is so sweeter than any other grapes. If eat it every day, you will be beautiful. It is so rare grape.

Japanese always drink green tea or water, but Eusukedera is not. They like grape, so they drink grape juice every day. If you are over eighteen years old, you can drink alcohol. We can drink wine every night and we can go bar.

They eat raisin bread and grape juice every morning, and in addition they eat deserts. It is grape souse on rare cheese cake, grape jam on the yoghurt, yoghurt in the many famous fruits and fresh fruits. They eat grape every time!!!

I would like to talk about plants, animals and famous natural sites of our country. First, I will introduce plants. There are some fruit trees. We can gather up bananas, grapes, peaches and so on.

Second, I will introduce Animals. There are a lot of giraffes. About 1890, they were discovered by a man for the first time. The man’s name is Kiyomasa Kato. His hobby was travelling, so he had visited there with his family. At that time, the color of giraffe was white and they didn’t have any brown spots on their body. After ten years, a great many people visited there to see giraffes. Some visitors planted with a banana tree. Because they have eaten those every day, the color of their body became yellow and they had some brown spots.

Next, I will introduce famous natural sites. We have some natural sites. For example, we have a beautiful site where many colorful butterflies gather. Butterflies eat many kinds of fruits. Butterflies that eat mangoes or oranges have orange wings. Butterflies that eat kiwi fruits have yellow green wings. So, color of fruits effect their wings.

Finally, Yusukedera has many great things. I can’t tell all of them. You will have fun, if you come to our country. Please coming !!!!!

At the Dentists

13109230 Ai Shimada

1310923 Yukimi Nagano

13109245 Keito Noda

Mr. Bean is sleeping. The alarm is going off. He wants to stop it, but he puts the clock in the glass which is full of water. The tea machine starts to work. It’s steam and water flow the hose and goes to his thumb.

He gets up at 8:53. Then he folds up the blanket. He is sleepworking, he hit the wall. Finally, he wakes up! He sits down and put on his slippers, open the curtains and he is doing morning exercises. He is shaving off his face, but he catches his nose hair in by the shaver, so he cut with pairs scissors.

He opens the closet and he take his jacket with paper, which there is written times “9:00” with picture of tooth. The picture reminds him of an appointment of the dentist. He hurries to prepare!! However he airs the alarm clock on the line. He takes his shirt, jacket, sock and toothbrush. He hurries to go dentist, but he come back and tuck his teddy bear with a blanket.

 He goes to the roundabout, he pitches changes of clothes, a toothbrush and toothpaste into his car, and he takes a block.

As he is driving it, he takes off the pajama and he puts on a shirt. And he puts the block on the accelerator. He moves the back seat only the lower half of the body and he begins to drive with feet. While he puts on his dress pants, he puts on a jacket and socks. He moves to the driver's seat, he is driving around on the road sign. He puts on his shoes. He tries to put toothpaste on the toothbrush. He can't put it and he spills toothpaste on the dashboard, so he uses it. He is brushing his teeth as he is looking the side mirror. The wiper of the car takes out the water and he gargles with it. He spits it, and it sticks it a man's hip.

But he backs the car up into a parking place, he hits a car. When he gets out of it, a road worker comes. And she checks the side mirror of his car. He notices that his pajama is sticking out his fly. The road worker sees him and she is surprised. He forces into the car. He goes to a dental office.

Then the doctor comes and injects Mr. Bean’s gums. When the doctor left, Mr. Bean caught it. Then the doctor comes again, Mr. Bean hid it. But when the doctor started to treat Mr. Bean’s teeth, the injection that Mr. Bean has sticks the doctor’s leg. The injection has anesthesia, so his leg goes to sleep he can’t stand any more. And he falls down.

But Mr. Bean cares about the time. So he decides to treat his teeth by himself. And he finally finishes treating his teeth. But when he looked at x-ray again, he doesn’t know which side of the picture is right. So he treats his other tooth. But now, he thinks that this picture is up side down. He finally feels it troublesome and he treats all his teeth. But then his jaws stuck together, he can’t open his mouse. When he is in trouble, the doctor wakes up and appears from Mr. Bean’s back. He was so surprised at that but his mouse can open. Then he smiled and walked away.
