Answers for WEI

1. I usually write my blog on Sunday, Wednesday, and Saturday at home.

2. I think the ways to express are more various than my first post from Spring term. However, I still use the same expressions. So, I think I should increase the words that I can use on my blog.

3. I think that doing movie reviews helps us develop our ability of find the message of movies. Though it takes me about three hours to write movie reviews, I think movies have more clear messages than books. So, I can have ideas easily.

Book review 2-7

Some of us sometimes see the situations that crimes happen in. However, we are not always able to help the people who try to solve them to look for the suspects. Today, I read a book that a man and a woman helped the police to arrest a suspect. The name of the book is "THE LAST PHOTO". So, I am going to introduce the story to you.

Martin and his sister Pam were taking some pictures in Cambridge because Pam liked doing it. When Pam was taking a last photo of Martin, a man stood in front of him. So, the last one was taken by the man. However, they found that he was the man who had got a hundred thousand pounds. His name was Alan Rook. They explained the picture to the police. Thanks to them, he was arrested and they were featured on the article. As a result, they got a thousand pounds.

Though there are a lot of crimes in the world, I think that I do not want to concern them after I read the book. Anyway, I would like you to read this book. (191 words / 6000 words)

I'm looking forward to FINAL

After 3 days, the most important game for me is going to start in Australia. It is the game between Gamba Osaka and Adelaide United as AFC Champions League 2008 Final. The final is made up of 1st leg and 2nd leg. 1st leg finished last Wednesday in Osaka which has the stadium of Gamba Osaka. Gamba Osaka won the game by 3 goals to 0. In this league, the number of the goals that a team gets in the opponent's stadium is very important because a team that gets more goals there will come off the winner when the scores of two games are added! So, Gamba is advantageous because he won in 1st leg without making Adelaide United get any goals. Though Adelaide is the team that has a tight defense and often wins in a home game, I believe that Gamba Osaka will win this game and become the champion! (153 words / 5809 words)

Book review 2-6

There are a lot of countries that the people who speak English as their mother tongue live in. For example, they are the United States of America, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, and so on. I have thought that I would like to go to these countries someday at least once or twice. They have the own fascinations, and we are able to get interested in the countries. However, I had a country that I had not been very interested in. The country was New Zealand. I had thought of New Zealand as a boring country before I read a book. The name of the book is "A NEW ZEALAND ADVENTURE". It made me have the feeling that I want to go there at once. So, I am going to introduce the story to you.

Sarah and Jessica are the women who visited New Zealand for enjoying their holiday. They were looking forward to doing it. When they were going to get a taxi, they saw a boy who was waving to them. His name is Michael. He had them take in it. However, he forgot his mobile phone there. So, they tried to find him in order to give it. They went to some different places. For example, they are Ninety Mile Beach, the Sky Tower, the Glow-worm Caves, and so on. Though it took them a lot of times to find him, they managed to see him again. Finally, he gave the expensive tickets for watching whales to them as a token of his gratitude because their parents got £ 100,000 from the lottery.

When I go to foreign countries, I will look over them in detail. It is because I think that we have to know the culture of them in order to have a good time there. Though this book is not a guidebook, I was able to imagine the atmosphere of New Zealand after I read it. However, I do not know the other places that are not written on it. So, I think that I will look through the other books in New Zealand more and more when I decide that I go there. Anyway, I would like you to read this book. (373 words / 5656 words)

Book review 2-5

I think that most of the people who steal what other people have tend to pay attention to the situations around them. We often call them "spy". However, some of them sometimes make mistakes in their jobs. I sometimes hear the news on TV or the Internet. They should be punished strictly, but it is not easy for me to hate the careless persons. Today, I found a book that describes a man who is unlucky and does not pay a lot of attention to his situation. The book is named "SIMON AND THE SPY". So, I am going to introduce the story to you.

One day, Simon was running at the station in order to ride on a train. He struck an old woman at that time. Two bags that Simon and the old woman had had dropped on the ground. When they gathered their things, Simon put a letter of the old woman into his bag. She found that her letter was in his bag, but he got this train without noticing it. So, she started to pursue him. She also got this train and tried to take her letter from his bag. However, she could not do it because of his action. In front of a boat, Simon was talking to a girl. Her name is Samantha. The old woman tried to take her letter from his bag again, but a car passed in front of them. As a result, she was not able to take it again. Then, they rode on the boat. When Simon and Samantha started to have lunch, the old woman tried to take her letter from his bag again. Then, it was blown by the wind. A dog tried to take it and began to run. Simon thought that it was his boat ticket, and he and the old woman ran fast for it. After a dog ran to it and caught it in his mouth, he kept running in the boat. Samantha managed to catch him, and he took the old woman's coat in his mouth and pulled it. In addition, the wind took her hat. The occurrence made Simon and Samantha find that she was not an old woman. The old woman was a man who had been pursued as a spy. Then, Simon called the police, and they came at once. After that, they caught the spy. Though they were very happy because they were able to catch him, they could not find the letter that he had. It had names and addresses of him. Finally, Simon told a policeman that it was in the dog.

I think that the spy in this story did not prepare for his job enough. However, most of us tend to make mistakes in our daily life. Also, we are not sometimes able to achieve the most important purpose. So, we have to pay much attention to our situation more and more. Anyway, as this is a good book for us, I would like you to read it. (505 words)
