Today, I took test about being employed which is previous test before getting job. There were current affair, English, Japanese and Math. Time limiter is 1 hour. I thought that 1 hour is very short time. However it was not true.
I have not solved math for 3 years, so this test was really hard for me.
I tried do my best. I want to know my score soon.

Freshman camp

I joined freshman camp which is to make friends and get used to school for freshman. This is the 3 times, I have joined this camp. However, I am not freshman anymore. I helped this camp.

My job is cooking meals, there were 7 people. The first day, we cooked carry rice. This time's camp, 130people joined, so we had to make lots of carry.

And next morning, we got up at 6:30am and made break fast. we were exhausted.

However, we had a really good time.

I really wanted talk with exchange student, but I didn't get guts. I couldn't talk with them not so much!! It was too sad!
But I made up my mind, I will speak to them at school if they are walking there. I want to improve my English!
I would like to say what I want to say in English.

Last Sunday, I tried to make American homemade choc chip cookie at my home! When I stayed in Minnesota, I often ate choc chip Cookie at my host family's house! And choc chip Cookie became to my favorite American sweets!!
When I was reading a book which is how to cook sweets, I found American choc chip Cookie recipe and I decided I was going to cook them!

The day, I was really exciting, that' way I was able to eat choc chip Cookie again!!
However, My choc chip Cookie was not good I had expected!

I miss
Choc Chip Cookie!!!

Book review 2-15

I read " Anew Zealand Adventure".
Sarah and Jessica are going to New Zealand for a holiday. They are very excited. Jessica is near the window. 'Look!' she says, ' They 's Auckland! We're here!
'But we are late, Sara answers. "When's our bus?'
"At one o'clock7, Jessica says. "We can get a taxi from the airport to the bus station'
At the airport, the girl look for a taxi. ' Look!' Jessica says. ' That boy's waiting to us!
'Excuse me!' Are you late? ' the boy calls to them. ' Do you want this taxi?' the girls answer. 'To the bus station, Please 'Sarah says to the diver. She smiles at the bus and they drive away. The taxi stops at the bus station. Suddenly, Jessica sees a mobile phone on the taxi floor, ' Is that your mobile phone? ' She asks the driver. He looks at it. 'No, ' he answers. 'It's the boy's mobile.' Sarah takes it. 'Perhaps I can find his address', She says, Yes!
His name's Michael. Tomorrow he's at Ninety Mile beach. We can give it to him there.

The girls wait at Ninety Mile Beach. They eat and watch the buses. The buses aren't driving on a road-they are driving on the long beach.' Look for Michael!' Jessica says. But Sarah is looking at the sea. Suddenly, Jessica sees him. 'He's on that bus!' says.
She waves. Michael waves to her, but doesn't stop. The girl get on a bus. ' Can we catch him?' Jessica asks. 'I don't know', Sarah answers. ' i can't see his bus now'
Suddenly, they hear a beep. Sarah looks at the mobile. 'There is a message for Michael', she says.' perhaps we can find him tomorrow at the Sky Tower in Auckland'
Jessica and Sarah are very unhappy. They can't find Michael and they can't find Sarah's bag. Sarah has no money now. 'Sorry', Jessica says. ' But I have got some money -and we have got tickets for the Glow-worm Caves.'
'OK, Let's go there tomorrow', Sarah says. 'Michael is going too.We can look for him there.'
The girls go on a boat into the dark cave . The lights from the glow-worms are very beautiful and it is very quiet. Suddenly, there is beep from Michael's mobile. The lights go dark. The people in the boat are angry. 'No mobiles!' they say.
' We're very sorry', Sarah says. She sees a new message for Michael. 'Perhaps we can find him in Rotrua.'
Finally, They can find him. They are really happy!!

Final exam

Final exam is coming soon!!
I have to prepare for it!!

Book review 2- 14

This is the story of Hapu . He lives in Ancient Egypt at the time of Queen Cleopatra. His father, Bak, has a small factory. He makes gold tables and chairs. Hapu helps him. He is a ‘fireboy’. Every day he pushes a long handle up down. The work is hot and very hard.
But what can he and his father do? They are poor people. They need to make money.
Every evening they sit beside the Nile. Bal talks to his son about the factory, tomorrow’swork-everything. “one day we are going to be very rich,” he tells Hapu.” Are we?” The fireboy looks into his father’s tired eyes. “Yes”. Bak smiles. “I don’t know how and I don’t know when, but we are.” Then he stands up. “ Come on”, he says. “ It’s late. Let’s go home”. Three days lather Hape and Bak are making a table. It is very hot in the room. Suddenly Bak stops work. “ What is it, father?” Hapu asks. Is something wrong?
“ I don’t know,” Bak answers. He closes his eyes. Bak becomes sick.
Hape makes a lot of tables and chairs. But not only tables and chairs, He makes a gold necklace, too. He decides that He is going to give it for Queen, and make money.
This is success story. I think it is really nice!

The missing coins!!

Bath is a very old city in England. It was a beautiful Abbey! Pete and Carla are students at Bath University. Pete likes to look at the beautiful old building, Carla likes to walk in the little back streets! She often finds pretty little shops there and goes into them.
It was a Saturday in summer and a hot day. There are a lot of tourists in the city.
Pete found the man who was playing the flute near the small shop. And there is his hat on the road to get some money. However, his playing was not very good.

After that, Pete and Carla went to shop which is old coins and stamps shop. There were old man and young women who were clerks. Pete wanted to see old coins and he'd like to collect!
The shop's old man and woman were not friendly!
So, Pete and Carla left the small shop and They went to Cafe!

As soon as, last old man spoke to them and He said that you are burglary!!
You stole my coins! But They didn't !!

In fact, young woman and the musician(he is playing the flute) stole those coins!!
They are really bad!!

I thought Pete and Carla are very kind!
It is really scary story!

Aim of 20 year

Yesterday, I attended" Coming of Age ceremony". I wear a " Kimono". This is first time I have wear " Kimono" I don' get use to put on it, so I was really tired!
The day, I got up 5:30 and went to beauty salon that is near to my house. There were 4 people in there.
At first, the beautician made up my face and hair, It takes 30 minutes!
after that, I went back home, I took a rest. 30 minutes later, I went to beauty salon again. I put on 'Kimono'

Actually, I was late Ceremony. However I attend Ceremony and I listen to speech. After That, I was able to meet many friends when I was Junior high school. I took many picture with friends!!
I had a really good time!

And I thought that my aim of 20 years! I will not depend on My parents! Because, I really depend on my mother. Such as, money and life! So, I changed my mind and I will not depend my parents!!

This picture’s bear, My host family gave me! This is one of my treasures!!

My winter vacation

I think my winter vacation is shorter than other. I have to do many things every day.
I studied for test of English, and other homework. However, I didn’t finish earlier. I really regret it.
Because, I have to work at my parent’s shop. I cleaned room and sell many things. Every day, I got up at 7 am. And I walked with my dogs.
I need more vacations!!!

New year


This is "Shimenawa" which is a decoration of sacred straw rope(from dictionary).
My parent's shop decorated at front door. I think it is very big.
Perhaps, it is 13o cm.
My father bought at market.
I was really surprised!!! It is really interesting!

Long time no see!!

Every year of new year's day is very busy for me, because I have to help my parents shop. I live very near to temple. So many people come to play there.
So I have never been to somewhere before on the day. Sometimes, I felt it is not fun. I have to work, work and work. However, I was able to see some acquaintance, and we could do greeting.
At the night, I was so tired that I have gone to bed soon. So, I can't study so much!
And now, I am doing many assessments! Please help me!!

Book review 2-12


I read this book that is ChangingPlaces.

Every morning, Hal gets up at seven o'clock. He feeds Freddie, his dog. He eats his breakfast. Then he gets on his bicycle and goes to work.
Hal works at the zoo. He works at the zoo. He watches the visitors carefully. They can look at the animals- but they can't go to near them or feed them. Nothing changes from day to day. 'Nothing exciting happens in my life,' thinks Hal. Sometimes at night, Hal has a wonderful dream. He is famous and he has an exciting life. Then he gets up in the morning and he is Hal again. Ont he weekends, Hal meets Sophie. Hal wants to marry her soon. This is Tim Hankins. Tim is a famous actor. 'I know that man,' people think, when they see Tim. They stare at him in the street. Sometimes they run after him. Tim does not have normal life and he is unhappy. For his next movie, Tim wears glasses. His face is very different in glasses. It is not Tim Hawkins' face and many people do not recognize him. Now Tim wants to wear glasses all the time.
Once morning, Hal gets up 'Today isn't different from yesterday to the day before that! Hal thinks. Then he remembers something . In two days, he must marry Sophie. He feels nervous.
When Hal gets to the zoo, a movie crew is there. They are making a movie- with Tim Hawkins! The crew are filming. Hal watches for two or three minutes. He is very excited.
Lather, Hal is eating a sandwich when Tim Hankins walks in. Tim stares at Hal, and Hal stares at Tim. ' what!' Tim says . Who are you?
I am Hal Tanner. Hal says Tim looks at Hal and thinks for a minute. I have an idea, Hal Tanner. Let's have some fun. Let's change places for the afternoon.
Hal thinks about this. Then he smiles. All right he says. He gives his clothes to Tim, and he takes Tim' clothes.

This story is really funny and interesting. Hal' s life change ! I think This is really happy thind for Hals!!
