My important experience

When I was a pupil or a junior high school student, I often went out. For example, I had often gone camping in some places until I was a pupil. I remember a lot of experience that I got at that time well. Especially, I was happy when I helped to put up my family's tent by ourselves or when we made our dinner together.

However, we have not gone camping for several years. My younger sister is busy studying in high school. And my father is also busy finishing his jobs. In addition, my mother suffers from backache, so we are not able to go out remotely.

I seldom go shopping. And I seldom go out in order to exercise in a park. So, I am a little overweight. Certainly, I know that I have to exercise to keep my health good or make my mind fresh. So, I think that I would like to go camping in some places again. (162 words / 2786 words)

After reviewing Shrek again...

I think that this movie has been watched around the world, so it was translated into a lot of languages. However, I thought that personalities that each of characters has are the same after I watched Special Features in Shrek. (40 words / 2624 words)

I'm looking forward to...

I am looking forward to two things. One is a soccer game in Japan. On AFC Champions League, Gamba Osaka and Urawa Reds are going to match tonight as semi final. I think that the two teams are good teams in Japan and they think as a rival each other. (50 words / 2584 words)

Book review 2-2

When we are reading a book, we are able to predict the end of it roughly. Generally speaking, it is because a book has the only one story line. I and you have already read a lot of books for years, so not only I but also you may have the same feeling. However, there are some kinds of books that we have sometimes read in the world. They look like a kind of puzzles. I think that they give us the different views that we have not found yet. Today, I read a book. The name of this book is "Oranges in the Snow". I think that this book is one of the books that look like puzzles, so I am going to introduce the story to you.

In this story, I am a main character and named Mary Durie. Mary Durie is a famous scientist. One day, I did an experiment with Joe who is my assistant. It is the experiment that the liquid in a big bottle is added to the flower in a little bottle and it is heated. I make the yellow liquid by doing the experiment, but I have the materials and the notebook that I noted what I found in this experiment stolen. Then, I and Joe go to an airport because we find that the men who steal them are going to go there. We find them at the restaurant. Though they run away from us, they are arrested and I can get the materials and the notebook because I have drunk the liquid that has the effect of being able to see in the dark. Also, this story has some choices, so it makes me very interested.

When I saw the title of this book, I thought that it may be the story over the oranges in the snow. However, the focus of this story is how I and Joe can arrest the suspects. I thought that the oranges in the snow were not important though they were a part of this story after I read this book. Anyway, a lot of people can have their ideas over it, so I would like you to read it once. (367 words / 2534 words)

Good conduct is ...

When I was a high school student, I was often said that I have to greet the people who I see by the teachers in my high school. Originally, I had the custom of greeting others. However, I learned that to do it helps me to think about what I am able to act when I see our situations. For example, I see a lot of trash on the road or in the park. When I notice them, I often pick up them of my own accord. In my case, I had not had the feeling that I had to pick up litter until I entered my high school. I had heard that my high school was the strictest about school rules in Kumamoto Prefecture before I decided which high school I should enter. To tell the truth, I thought that it was not hard for me to obey the rules when I heard the fact. However, I noticed that I had a lot of things that I had to improve in order to live in this society after I graduated from my high school. Though the rules of my high school were strict, they made me more thoughtful. If I had entered another school, I could not have known the importance of greeting others. When my younger sister thought about the high school that she would like to enter, she did not think of my high school because she had seen the life in my high school for 3 years. I think that 3 years which I spent in my high school helps me to live every day. (269 words / 2167 words)

Three events I remember

I have experienced a lot of events in my life. Some events made me happy; others made me sad or disappointed. I think that they can have a major effect on the ways to think. In fact, some experiences give me some lessons to me. They tell me the importance of calm, the feeling that I try to do what I am not able to do, and the force of adapting a lot of conditions. Now, I am going to introduce the stories of them to you.

First, I was hurt when I was 8 years old. I was at the outside of the house of my friend. He had a dog as a pet. And it was running there with my friend and he and I were also playing at the same place. Though I do not remember the moment in detail, I was run after by the dog on the way to doing it. As a result, I fell and hit my head against the ground. Because of this accident, I lost my memory that was made at that time temporarily. So, I thought that I had to calm down.

Second, I was not good at exercising on the horizontal bar when I did it at school. However, I was only able to do it once by myself when I was a pupil. When I was practicing doing it, I was able to feel the sense of achievement. So, I thought that going on trying to do very difficult things was very important for me.

Third, I have moved some time with my family. The prefectures that I have ever lived in are Kanagawa, Saitama, Fukuoka, and Kumamoto. When I lived in each prefecture, I knew their climate or culture. Then I was able to enjoy my life there. So, I thought that it was necessary for me to live on many conditions. (315 words / 1898 words)
