My favorite season

I like spring the best of the four seasons because the temperature is good to spend. For example, when I want to clean my room, I must open the window. If I want to do in summer, it's too hot that I can't concentrate on cleaning my room. If I want to do in winter, it's too cold that I can't do. Then, I also like fall, but my favorite season is spring because spring makes me excited. I don't know the reason well, I want to do something new in spring. I feel spring brings them to me. In fact, there is an entrance ceremony, where people meet something new, in spring in Japan. Therefore, I guess I feel that.

Map from My Letter to a Host Family

BR 2-02: More Macdonalds (Strong, 2001)

"This house is too small" (Strong, 2001, p.2).

I chose the book because the mouse in the book was cute. I guessed the story was the children want to have more hamburgers in MacDonald's when I read only the title. However, my expectancy wasn't right. MacDonald's, which is a fast hood shop, didn't appear in the book. A family's house appeared.

I'll introduce the story. The father says to his family, "We should increase a room because the house is too small." Then, his children, Jojo and Mouse, talk about the room. Who gets it? One day, Jojo and Mouse found there's something wrong with her pet. They are anxious that it'll die. Is it all right? Who gets the room?

One of the characters' names is Mouse. He is one of the children. His name is funny. In addition, his pet is a mouse, so I felt the situation was complicated at first. However, the story was warm and happy. Mouse's person was good. I want you to read this book because it will make your heart warm.

One of my interests on the movie is that Robin tests a person who he hopes to make one of his companions. He fights with him and he makes good term with him. They laugh. The other one is a love scene. He knows the princess falls in love with him, but she is dishonest on that. She said that she doesn't fall in love with him, so he makes her say the truth with his clever words. I guess he is good at romance.

The movie is exciting. It gives us courage for fighting with evil. The main character and the companions fight with the bad person, John. They fight with him without fearing even if he has his many companions and the power. They have wonderful wisdom. I guess they has believed it. That's also one of appeal of the movie. It tells clever people are profitable. The main theme is courage and wisdom.

Then, I'll introduce the characters. The main character is Robin Hood. He is brave, clever, and cheerful. The man who wears a red hat is very clever and one of Robin's companions. John is the king's brother. He does bad politics while the king is out of the country. The princess was one of John's companions, but she talks with Robin and falls in love with him. She isn't honest. As a result, she and Robin love each other.

The main character's name is Robin Hood. He explores with his company. He gets information that the king's younger brother, John, is doing bad politics while the king is out of the country. He decides to fight with John and gathers companions. He fights with archery. He is good at it. he falls in love with the princess after the first fight. The princess does, too. He makes her one of his companions. They save the king and people.

The movie will make you positive because it has a cheerful and exciting story. I want you to guess what Robin Hood thinks before he tests a person he tries to make his companion.

My favorite Clothing

My favorite clothing is the culottes. I bought them on sale at Page Boy in PARCO. I was happy to get them with less money. They are gray checked culottes. It's very cute. Culottes are comfortable for me to wear because they are like a skirt. Women can't wear a skirt when they ride a bike. However, they can wear cute or cool culottes even if they ride a bike. They can enjoy more fashion styles if they wear them. This is why I like culottes. I really like the culottes I bought last year. Their design is so nice. I can wear many clothes with them. They make me better. I often wear them all seasons. I wish I would get nice culottes.
