The first game will come after 4 days

I am looking forward to the Beijing Olympic Games. Especially, I am very interested in the soccer games, so I read a lot of articles of soccer. I think that this team will be able to go on winning in the Group B because they played one of the greatest teams in the world, and they put up a good fight. The team was Argentina. A lot of great players come from Argentina. Especially, I think that Diego Armando Maradona is the most famous soccer player in this country. So, you may know him well. However, this team also has a soccer player who is fascinating a lot of fans now. His name is Lionel Andrés Messi. He plays in Futbol Club Barcelona in Liga Española. And Barcelona won in this league two years ago thanks to him. Unfortunately, he was not able to come to Japan, so I could not see him on TV. But Argentina was very good team. They won against Japan by a score of 1 goal to 0 on friendly match. I think that our team will keep on winning in the Group B and make a lot of people in Japan very excited. So, I would like to watch the games on TV! (209 words / 427 words)

A good view!



This is a picture that I took two days ago. I thought that I would like to see a beautiful piece of scenery and make my body relax physically for a change of air. So, I went to the south region of Mt. Aso with my family. First, we went to a big park. We were able to play "Park golf". Park golf is a sport that is similar to golf. However, the place which it is played in is much smaller than the place which golf is done in. Anyway, I and my father played it for two hours while my mother and my younger sister walked there. Then, we stayed the night at a hotel. And we checked out of the hotel in the next day. We got off there a little earlier, so we decided that we would go home slowly. I thought that we were able to get some fresh air when we drove on the road. Then, we sometimes stopped driving and took a rest for a while. I took this picture when we took a rest last. The wind that waterfall caused made us relax, so I thought that I would like to take a picture here. I seldom go out, but I think that I would like to increase the time. (218 words / 218 words)

Book review 1-13

As I read a good book yesterday, I am going to recommend this book. This book is named "KINGS AND QUEENS OF BRITAIN". It explains the history of the people who have succeeded to the throne in the United Kingdom to us. In fact, most of them are known by a lot of people in the world as historic people. For example, they are William Ⅰ, King Henry Ⅷ, Elizabeth Ⅰ, and so on. Though I have already learned about them in some classes, I was able to understand the history more and more. So, I would like you to read this book as soon as you can. (111 words / 10457 words)

Book review 1-12

Now, I would like to introduce this book to you. This book is named "RUN FOR YOUR LIFE". In this story, Kim and Dave, who is Kim's boyfriend, try to catch a man who has a knife with the police. Also, this book has a lot of pictures and lines which are spoken by some characters, so it helps us to understand the content very well. After I read this book, I thought that it was important for us to act with courage. Though we may not face such this situation, what we learned from this book will be useful to us someday. So, I would like you to read it, too. (112 words / 10346 words)

Book review 1-11

Today, I am going to recommend this book. This book is named "THE ADVENTURES OF Tom Sawyer". Tom Sawyer is a main character in this story. I thought that he was a very active boy. Surely, he would bother some people when he does something. However, I thought that it was very good for him to try to get interested in the various things. Then, what he did made some people happy a little. I seldom think that I would like to go somewhere or to know what I do not know. However, it is necessary for me to get interested in a lot of things. So, I would like to challenge what I have never done. Anyway, please read this book. (122 words / 10234 words)

My routine is to watch soccer games

I think that to watch a lot of sports always make me excited. When I was a pupil, the sport that I often watched on TV was baseball. It was very interesting for me to watch a lot of baseball games on TV every week. And it gave a lot of knowledge of baseball to me. However, some disgraceful matters of baseball happened in Japan. Also, the Yomiuri Giants that I had supported for a long time in my childhood did not change the attitude that they got good players with a lot of money. Then they made me sad, so I have seldom watched baseball games on TV lately.

On the other hand, I started to watch a lot of soccer games when I was a high school student. I had thought that it was a long time for me to watch a soccer game for 90 minutes until I watched it in detail. However, after I went on doing it and getting a lot of information of soccer, my way to think changed. In a word, I think that it is very short time for me to watch a soccer game now. Then, to do it every week is a part of my life, and it makes my daily life very happy.

I think that to watch a lot of soccer games have good points. First, we are able to keep a lot of soccer players in mind. Then you will watch soccer games every week because you are interested in them if you do it. Second, we are able to understand the rules of soccer. I think that it is very difficult for the people who seldom watch a soccer game to understand some of them. So, I recommend that they should do it once a week. If you do it, you will understand the rules of soccer a little.

Also, I often view a lot of blogs of soccer. I started to do it about one and a half years ago. Especially, I often view them from Yahoo! JAPAN. Most of the people who write them from it are the supporters of the teams in J League or European leagues. So, we are able to see how to support their teams a little. In addition, we may be able to understand some feelings that a lot of supporters would like to tell their teams. Finally, I would like you to find your favorite team as soon as you can.

I think that a lot of people in Japan do not know J League in detail. Maybe they like watching baseball games or the other sports. Surely, I also watch their games on TV, so I understand a lot of good points of them. However, I think that it is the best for me to watch a lot of soccer games. I have done it for 3 years. Some of soccer games might make you bored. There are some problems that we have to solve as soon as we can. However, you will be excited if you watch a good game. So, please watch it.

about Writing class

I started to write my blog about a year ago, but I seldom wrote it. I had nothing to write it. In addition, it was very difficult for me to do it faster. Because of two reasons, I was not able to do it. However, I have to do it in Writing class this year. If I am not able to write ten thousand words, I will not get a credit. So, I decided that I would make effort in order to write my blog. I thought that I had to get a lot of items in order to do it. Then, I was able to find two things to do it.

One is to tell you how interesting soccer is. When I tried to start to write my blog, the item which I thought that I would like to express my ideas on was about soccer. Of course, I had never written my ideas about soccer on my blog until I started to write my blog earnestly in April. However, I thought that it was a good chance for me to understand soccer more and more. Though I was not able to write the reports of soccer games, I thought that I was able to give some knowledge of soccer to you.

The other is to tell you what I do in my daily life. To tell the truth, it was more difficult than writing the items of soccer for me to do it. I think that the people who have a part-time job or club activities have a lot of items, so they are able to write their blogs easily. I only have a few things to do in a day. So, I think that it is necessary for me to add to the items of my daily life. I have to go out in order to write my blog. Then I would like to express a lot of my ideas.

I think that I have some good points and bad points of my blog now. One of good points is to make use of a lot of movies. I decided that I would do it because I thought that the people who viewed my blog were able to understand the contents that I wrote. On the other hand, one of bad points is to write my blog a little long. I often do it because I am not able to write an article fast. However, I think that it is difficult for the people who view my blog to understand the contents of it.

I heard that I will have to write 15,000 words on my blog in the fall term. In my case, it takes me a long time to write my blog. So, I think that it may be very difficult for me to do it. However, I will have a lot of times to do it because I am able to do it from August 1. So, I would like to write a lot of articles by the first day of the fall term. Then, I am going to correct some problems that my blog has. (522 words / 9594 words)
