BR 1- 04: Mary Queen of Scots


I chose the book because I'm interested in histories of foreign countries and Mary was a famous queen in Scotland.

After reading the book, I was sorry for the queen of Scots, Mary because I knew that she had been misunderstand and killed. In addition, her husband was very bad because he helped his friends kill her important friend, so I felt her life was hard. At last part of the book, the way of her dying was written and I got uncomfortable.

I recommend you to read this book because you'll be able to know the history well.

BR 1-03: Princess Diana

I learned the Royal family in the class of the history of British and I wanted to learn more someone of it, so I chose this book.

After I finished reading it, I thought Princess Diana was a great person. I felt she was very kind because I learned that she helped the poor, the aged, people with AIDS. She was loved by a lot of people, but she divorced Prince Charles, was run after by many photographers, and died because of them, so I wonder whether she thought her life happy or not.

I hope that you'll read the book because I want you to know the wonderful jobs by Diana and I want to know that what you think of Diana's life.

Go to Fukuoka with my family

Yesterday, I went to Costco in Fukuoka with my family. My younger brother couldn't go there together because he joined the basketball club. I went there for the first time. My father, mother and younger sister have ever gone there some times. I had heard that Costco is a large store for business from my mother before I went there. So, I didn't understand why she wanted me to go there together because I thought that to do wouldn't make me enjoy.

In fact, I enjoyed the trip. There were many shops near Costco. I also enjoyed window-shopping because I had shopped a lot recently. My mother bought a clothes for my younger sister. Of course, I enjoyed Costco, too. There were really many things there. We could nice hot dogs there after shopping. We shopped a lot of things. I had a good time.

Happy Shopping

I went shopping with my mother and sister yesterday. My sister and I had our hair cut at our favorite beauty parlor in the shopping mall in the morning. I ate curried food which had existed only during Golden Week in the restaurant with my mother and sister. It was very delicious but the volume was too large for me to eat all. We bought some things in the shopping mall. We were tired because we walked a lot, but we were very happy. At about 4:00 pm, we thought we went home, but we suddenly wanted go to the other shopping mall. So, we went there. We also shopped there and got some clothes. I was glad that my mother bought me a cute blouse whose color was pink. Thank you, my mother! I was very tired but very happy.

BR 1-02: The Phantom of the Opera

I chose "The Phantom of the Opera" because I couldn't have understood the story when I had watched its movie. So, I thought I would be able to understand the story if I read its book.

After I finished reading the book, I felt that it was a dreadful story and got sad because I didn't find all of the characters in the book saved. But, I thought courage of Raoul and The Persian was great because they confronted that fearful man in order to save a woman. I was able to grasp the story completely.

I want you to read this book because it'll makes you excited. Especially, I recommend you to read it if you like horrible stories.

Good Day (4/27)

Today, I had the class of the history of Britain. It is one of my favorite class. The class in KGU is interesting for me, so I can listen to the teacher seriously and understand at once the content of the class. That is good. By the way, I watched the DVD on Queen Victoria in the class. I thought she was a great person because she improved the image of the Royal Family, which the British had then, when it was getting bad. She also made new customs. For example, women's wearing a snow-white wedding dress in a marriage ceremony and preparing a Christmas tree and so on.

This evening, I went to the driving school for the first time. My mother is the member of the staff there and she completed my entrance procedures, so I had never gone there and I had uneasiness. In fact, my uneasiness vanished when I arrived there because there were my mother and kind staffs. I went there yesterday, too. I want to get a license soon.
