Our group went to Kinkakuzi, Nijyoujyou, Kiyomizudera and downtown. Then, we are missing. We couldn't find our goal. fotunetly, we found our friends, we are really lucky! I want to go to Kyouto!!!

NEW dictionary

This is my electronic dictionary, when I was high school student I bought this one. Then, I came back from Montana, I stayed there about 2 weeks, I went to there with 15 student. Almost student has electronic dictionary, but I didn't have it then. so, I wanted to buy it! It is really useful for me. My high school's student don't have electric dictionary. I am very happy, almost student don't have electronic dictionary. Usually, I didn't use dictionary, but when I bought this one, I get to use dictionary often.
You know, I went to Minnesota two month ago, I noticed my dictionary is very old. Because, I check on some words, sometimes my host parents said it is old mean. So, I wanted to buy new dictionary. But, I am thinking thinking and thinking, What is best dictionary?
But, This time I want to buy paper dictionary, I remembered many teachers said dictionary is paper one is best! So, I decided to buy paper dictionary.
I asked my listening teacher, what is your recommend dictionary? Then, She recommend this one.

She also has this one. She said that I have never use electronic dictionary before. She like reading paper dictionary.
I look up to her. So, I decided to buy this LEXIS!
I can check on new words, and I could know native speaker's feeling by this dictionary!!
But, I think peaper dictionary is more heavy than electronic dictionary.
so, It is little hard to bring from home to school!
But paper dictionary is really interesting for me! I took to this dictionary.
And I think, I took education class to become a English teacher, So I need knowledge of English.
I am sure my choice is really smart!
I will study English very hard with my paper dictionary!!!!

Book review 2-08

I read this book, This is Rip Van Winkle.
The catskill Mountains change color at different times of the year. Many people think that are magic mountains. It is 1769. In a village near the Catskills live a friendly man. His name is Rip Van Winkle.
The village children love him. He loves nothing all. But when the man of the village ask Rip for help on their farms, he always goes and helps them.
And when the woman of village ask Rip for help, he never says no. Rip is always ready to do his neighbours' work, but he never works on his farm.
Morning and night Mrs Van Winkle tells him that he is lazy.
One day, Rip leaves his wife at the farm. He calls his dog, wolf, and they go for a walk in the mountains.
When he goes down the mountain, Rip meets a stranger. The man has something on his back. The stranger isn't very tall. He is fat. His hair is wild, and he's wearing old dutch clothes. He want Rip to carry the barrel. Rip walks up the mountain with the man. Sometimes he carries That is barrel to help him. The stranger says nothing.
After a time, They meet a number of men in the mountains. They are all playing an old Dutch game, and wearing old Dutch clothes.
The man with the barrel gives them all a drink. Everything is quiet. Nobody smiles, and nobody speaks. When the men being to play again. Rip has a drink. He feels thirsty, so he drinks more and more. Soon Rip is tired. He eyes close, and he goes to sleep.
When Rip opens his eyes, it's a sunny morning. He gets up, Rip remembers his night on the mountain. He stands up, but finds he can't move very easily.
He finds his house with no windows or door! And where are his wife and children? Rip doesn't understand. Just then, he puts his hand to his face, and finds he has a long white beard!
He runs to the village inn. Rip doesn't know any of the people in front of the inn. He asks Does nobody here know Rip Van Winkle?
Yes. That's Rip Van Winkle, next to the tree. One man says.
Rip sees a younge man in his clothes. He became old man, and his wife died.

This story is really strange! But it is interesting!
