The close contest for our League

Today, the rest of the 33rd games in J League were played. Though a lot of teams had played very well to be the winner in this league, the teams that may be able to do it were decided because of the results of today's games. They are 3 teams. First, the team that gets 60 winning points is Kashima Antlers. Kashima Antlers got the 2007 J League title last year, and they are also on the 1st place now. This team has a lot of players who have great techniques and know how to win a game. Second, the team that gets 58 winning points is Nagoya Grampus. Nagoya Grampus was on the 11th place last year, but they are on the 2nd place now. Third, the team that gets 57 winning points is Kawasaki Frontale. Kawasaki Frontale was on the 5th place last year, but they are on the 3rd place now. I would like Nagoya Grampus to get the 2008 J League title, but Kashima Antlers has the advantage. Anyway, I am looking forward to watching the last games. (182 words / 7618 words)

Book review 2-10

Though I am not good at running, I know that I have to do it for my health. However, I found that I had to think what I could do for others after I read a book. The name of the book is "THE LONG ROAD". So, I am going to introduce the story to you.

In the old days, there was a man who was a strong athlete. His name is Terry Fox. He had had a good life, but it was found that he had cancer in his right Leg in 1977. Then, he was operated in the hospital. Therefore, he had an artificial leg. After he went back home, he decided that he would run across Canada. It was because he thought that he wanted to collect a lot of money so as to help the children who had cancer to be able to have their better life. His run was a very long road from St. John's to Port Renfrew. The distance was 5,300 miles. The long run was called the "Marathon of Hope" by Terry. He began to run on April 12, 1980. Doug Alward, who is his friend, ran with him as his driver. Terry went on running through the help of a lot of people though he had some problems. And he was able to get a lot of money through his run. However, he stopped doing it because he had a bad pain in his lungs. Though he was not able to finish his run, he got $ 1,400,000 for helping sick children. In addition, Canadians and Americans gave $10,000,000 to him, and he got the country's numbers one award. After that, he died on June 28, 1981 because he had had cancer again. Thanks to his will, the marathons that are named "Terry Fox Run" are held around the world every year.

I think that most of the people in the world are able to think what they should do for others, but only a few people can act by themselves. We should think what the difference is. Anyway, I hope that you will read this book. (356 words / 7436 words)
