BR 2-18: Whatever the Weather

I read “Whatever the Weather” this time. When I found the book, the illustration interested me. It is the picture which a boy is looking at the view from the window. It is snowy weather. I like snow and the book cover looked interesting. So I decided to read the book. This story is about weather. In this book, there are a lot of words related it. For example, snowflake, icicles, clouds, lightning, hailstones, sun, puddle, rainbow and so on. First, snowflake is made of ice. It is nice. Then icicles shine in the trees. Next, lightning is dangerous. Hailstones clatter on the glass. Finally, the sun is hot. Like this, there are a lot of characteristics each weathers. I think these weathers are important for life.
In addition, my favorite line is “A rainbow glitters in the sky.”(Karen,1999,p.28) I think the words is clear. The rainbow is beautiful so I like it very much. When I see the rainbow, it makes me happy.

It is difficult for me to read but it’s very interesting. Also, I take teaching course because I want to be a junior high school teacher in the future. I learn how to teach English and life guidance in the class. It is very hard for me to study but I like the class very much. I have to study hard it from now on and many children to like an English in the future.

Next, I’m going to tell you about my dormitory life. It is good and comfortable. The best point is cooperative. I always eat dinner with my friend. Then I talked with her about the event during the day. The time is very fun for me. I sometimes talk with her until lights out time. It’s 23:00 p.m. I can it when I want to talk. So I don’t feel lonely when I went the dormitory. Also, the dormitory is near to the university. So I can go to the library until closing time. I like the library so I want to go there to study from now on. Like this, I am happy that I entered the dormitory.

The slot is from 17:00 p.m. to 23:00 p.m. I always go the dormitory at 23:20 p.m. Then I take a bath. After that, I do an assignment. I feel that the compatibility of school with part time job is difficult. But I need some money. And I like service industry. So it is really interesting for me to contact with the customer. My coworkers are kind to me and funny. So I like the part time job and want to continue it from now on.

It was hold at institution. We enjoyed it and gained good experience. Then we will involve the volunteer again next Monday. It is a crime prevention pared. It seems large scale event. So I’m looking forward to coming then.

I like the shape of star very much because it is cute. This story is about constellations. There are a lot of things I learned. So I will tell you about it now. The most interesting line is “there are 88 named constellations.”(Kate,2006,p.8) I didn’t know that at first, so I was surprised at the number. Some are named after animals, birds and fish. Others have the names of people and creatures from legends. I think the history of constellation is interesting. My constellation is Scorpio. It is constellation of summer. But I have never seen it before. So I want to see it someday.

I read “Beef Stew”. This book is very interesting. I have favorite line. So I will tell you about the story and the line now. The main character is Nicky. He is a boy and likes beef stew very much.
One morning, “I am making lots of stew” and “Would you like to ask a friend for supper?” said his mother. He ran off to school to find a friend who liked beef stew. Then he asked many people if you liked it. For example, his friends, a teacher, officer, the garbage man and so on. But he was refused by them.

My favorite line is “Can you come for supper?” (Barbara, 1900,p.8) If he asked me instead, I would answer “Yes, I can.” Because I like beef stew and it is so delicious. I think almost people like it. Beef stew is standard dinner!

For example, police officer, office worker, old people, college student and so on. Also, there was the mayor. I saw him for the first time.
Finally, the parade started after the opening ceremony. We walked to Kamitori from Shimotori follow brass band. The march was very nice. When I walked the road, I was ashamed. Because there were a lot of reporters and cameraman. We were taken many pictures by them. Then I also saw Kumamon when I arrived at Kamitouri. It is character of Kumamoto and it was very cute. After the parade finished, we went to the north police station. They gave us tea in token of their gratitude. I was happy. After that, we went to boring because I had a free ticket.
