3 teams I like

I often watch soccer games on TV every weekend. Especially, I have 4 teams that I support in J League. So, I often get very excited when I watch their games on TV. The teams which I think that I would like to support know how to play soccer with making use of their ability very well. Some teams are aggressive, the other are very strong on defense. Then, I am going to introduce 4 teams to you.



First, I am going to talk about Nagoya Grampus. Nagoya Grampus has a lot of players who have great ability. However, they had not been able to play very well because they had not seen a great head coach. In this season, Dragan Stojkovic leads them, and he brings good results. Especially, Yoshizumi Ogawa is a very good player, so I want you to look at him in their games.



Second, I am going to talk about Kawasaki Frontale. Kawasaki Frontale has a great player. He is Kengo Nakamura. He is a good leader of this team and his ability supports them. He is one of the players who I like, so I would like you to look at his play in their games.



Third, I am going to talk about Gamba Osaka. As you know, my favorite team is Gamba Osaka and they won the 2008 AFC Champions League title. Yasuhito Endo is one of the leaders in this team and his play makes them active. He is one of the best players in Japan, so I would like you to look at him in their games as soon as you can.

Book review 2-8

Though I wrote six movie reviews on this blog, I do not know a lot of the actors. Today, I read a book that is written about an actor. The name of the book is "Julia Roberts". So, I am going to introduce the story to you.

As you know, Julia Roberts is one of the most famous actresses in the world. She has appeared in a lot of movies and her smiles always make a lot of people in the world very happy. However, she has passed through some troubles. For example, Walter and Betty, who are her parents, got a divorce in 1972 because of the lack of money. It was because her parents liked the theater very much and tried to bring up young actors. Also, Walter suddenly died in 1977. In addition to this fact, she has fallen in love many times. She has taken part in many movies and experienced a lot of love. She is one of the superstars on some meanings.

It is important for us to meet a lot of people. But I think that it is also important for us to cherish them after I read this book. I recommend that you should read it once. (205 words / 6341 words)

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.

4. I think that we had better do the training of typing in this class.

5. I think the students who will take this class next year should raise their speed of writing. And they had better increase their vocabulary. (136 words / 6136 words)

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)

As I do not belong to any club, so I do not need to go to KGU for 5 days. So, I have a lot of time to finish my homework. However, it always takes me a lot of times to do my homework. In other words, I am not good at finishing my homework quickly. (56 words / 5283 words)
