My weekend

         In my weekend, I was so busy because I had part-time job and I had to prepare for my trip.  Many guests came to the restaurant where I work that weekend, so I was very tired and I mistook many things. And also, I and my mother was looking for the carry bag in shopping center. I was scolded  by my mother because I had not prepared for trip yet. I am going to go to French by the end of the month. I am very looking forward to go French but I reflect that I did not prepare for it early more. This week, I have many homework and part-time job, but I want to prepare for trip by myself as possible I can.

BR2-04: The Outside Dog

Their neighbor up the hill was Dona Elvira. She owned a little colmando, where they bought their groceries. Their neighbor down the hill was a fisherman named Nando. Sometimes, in the early morning, Marisol went fishing with him. There were many dogs on the hill. They were strays. No one owned or took care of them.

This is a good book. when I was a child, I thought I wanted to have my pets many times. I wanted to have a dog, cat, bird or hamster. However, my parents had never agree that I have a pet because they will have to pay many money foe feeding. And also, they said " You would be very sad, If your pet dead. Every pet will die surely someday." so I had never had any pets, but I often dream of playing with any pets someday like a little girl in this book. Certainly, her grandfather disagree to have a pet, but she can play with the dog.

They was running across the floor many time, but now I like it. And the second day, my mother's uncle take us to the Odaiba, the Tokyo tower and the Imperial Palace.

BR2-3 Book Week Goes with a BANG! - part 2-

An unbalance arrived and two paramedics jumped out.The driver of the tanker was taken into the school. He was very shocked."I don't know what happened," he mumbled, over and over again. Later, Mrs Tuner called everyone into the hall. "There's been a big accident, but the two drivers are being well looked after. Your parents will still be able to take you home at the normal time though," She was going to ask them to take their children back to class. But Zak Pieman had a different idea. Zak fetched his drawing board, and he began to draw a story for the children. The teachers thanked Zak for his help and they went out to wave goodbye to him. Zak stared at the smashed tanker. He saw the lorry on its side,. And then he saw the crushed car, half under the tanker. It was his car!

I thought Zak Pieman was very good artist. Most of students's feelings were not so good, but their feeling made very happy by the world which Zak made. And also, I thought many people have to  help each other when any accident happened.

BR2-2 The spider and the Beehive

Once upon a time, there was a small African village. In it lived a little boy and a tricky spider. The spider thought he was smarter than everyone else. One day the spider was hungry , so he asked the boy,"Will you take me to the best plums?" The boy agreed. They walked deep into the jungle to the boy's favorite plum tree. The spider felt greedy. He ate up every single plum and did not share any! Then the boy said, "Inside this hive is the most delicious honey in the world." The spider squeezed into a hole int her hive. He ate up all the sweet golden honey and did not share any! The spider was ready for the next treat. But when he tried to climb out of the hive, he was struck.


Finally in this story, spider became to be able to share his foods. When I was a child, my parent said me and my sister and my brother that "Of you have any happy things, you should share it." Especially, they said that when we have any foods. That time, I couldn't understand why they said, but now, I became  to be able to understand it. If we share any happy for everyone, we would be helped by their. We can live this world with helping each other, so I want to share many happy things, if I have any happy news or find a very delicious food, and don't share bad things and say bad things about slander. In the great Tohoku Earthquake, Japanese people could help each other, and this new was praised highly by worldly people. I think many countries people can that helping each other not only Japan. When people face any danger, we should find the way how we should do to alive everyone.
