Haagen-Dazs

Last Monday, I went to Haagen-Dazs with my friends. You know, Haagen-Dazs is very delicious ice cream shop. During this term, shop has a lot of ice cream which sells only in the Autumn. So, I bought a limited ice cream. It has whipped cream and cream which taste is Japanese chestnut. I could choose an ice cream cone or cup so I chose a cone. This picture is my ice cream! Do you want to eat it, don't you?
Additionally, I got double points in my point card so I was very happy!

A local food restaurant

Last Saturday, I went to a Okinawa food restaurant with my friends. I had never been to there before so I was very excited.
When we reached there, we ordered one cocktail each other. I ordered taste of pine cocktail! It was so delicious.
Second, we decided our order and ordered 6 dishes at once. I had never eaten "Tonsoku" before. "Tonsoku" is food of pig's feet in English. I tried to eat it but I don't like it because it was very greasy. However, "Tonsoku" has a lot of collagen so if we ate it, our skin would look shinier. Therefore, "Tonsoku" is very famous and popular among the younger people.

And I'll introduce other food. For example, "Somen chanpuru", food of pig's ears. In the end of our party, restaurant owner presented us a ice cream! Of course, it was taste of Okinawa too.

After we left the restaurant, we went to cafe and enjoyed talking very long time. I had a very good day! My friends and I planed next restaurant!

Frog and Toad are friends1

~Summary~
One day, Frog ran up the path to Toad's house and he knocked on the front door. Because he wanted to wake up Toad and tell him to come spring so walk together. However, Toad refused Frog's offer and he had pulled all the covers over his head in bed. So, Frog dragged Toad to the balcony and said "What you see is the clear warm light of April. We will skip through the meadows and run though the woods and swim in the river." However, Toad said he would be too tired so he was going back to bed. Additionally, Toad said to Frog that please come back again and wake him up at about half past May. So, Frog looked at Toad's calendar and tore off the November page. And he tore off the December to April pages.
Finally, Frog ran back to Toad's bed and waked up him. He said "It is May now." Therefore, Toad looked at the calender and climbed out of bed. Then he and Frog ran outside to see how the world was looking in the spring.

~My impression~
I love this story. I have known this book series when I was a elementary school student.
I think Frog and Toad are very good friend. When I finished reading this story, I was very relaxed.
In my opinion, Frog's behavior is very nice idea. And Toad is an obedient!

Discussion1 October 8

Last Thursday, I became an audience in Integrated Skills Ⅳb class. In this class, 5 students discussed about salary for house maker in front of others. Today, I will organize summary of this discussion.

Mrs. Risa is a woman who works at the trip company. She earns her salary and she is a house maker too. Mrs. Hanako is a full-time house maker woman. She has to do a lot of housework so she can't do part-time-job. Mr. Sato is Hanako's husband and Mr. Tanaka is Risa's husband.

In this discussion, Hanako insisted that she does a lot of housework every day so the Japanese government should pay salary for house makers. She thinks that housework is one of the justifiable jobs in the society. The reason why she thinks that, she always works about four or five hours so it is same thing as Risa.

However, Risa thinks that housework doesn't have any responsibilities. Additionally, in her opinion that she does housework too so it is nothing special. Therefore she thinks the Japanese government needs not to pay salary for house maker. Mr, Sato and Tanaka agree with her idea.

Here, after they said their opinion, the chair gives one result of survey to them. According to the survey, a lot of Canadian house makers want to get salary a hundred thousand yen per month. And Mrs. Hanako wants to get the amount salary too. However, they have a problem about a source of revenue so they discussed and try to find a solution. But they can't find a good idea so I think we need to think and discuss more.

In the end of the discussion, they think that a hundred thousand yen salary for house makers is too high but they can't find a solution so their consensus is the Japanese government need not to pay salary for house makers.

I think the topic is very difficult for us but very good point. This time, we can't solve some problems about it. For example, a woman who does housework with her mother can get a hundred thousand yen salary or not and a source of revenue is from our tax or husband salary. Therefore, we should think more and find a good solution.

Mouse Tales

~Summary~

When seven little mouse boys sleep, they ask their papa for a bedtime story. Papa said that if they promise to go right to sleep when he does for them. Therefore, seven mouse boys said "yes" so papa started talking seven bedtime stories.

The all seven storied is good story. Story1 is about kind a mouse. She can come true her wishes by her good idea. Story2 is about kind mother mouse and mouse boy. The kind mother mouse is gentle admonition to her son. Story3 is about a very tall mouse and a veryshort mouse. They are good friend and they have each advantages. Story4 is about a mouse and the wind. A mouse can travel thanks for north, south, east and west wind. Story5 is about a very devoted mouse. The mouse goes to his mother's house by getting through some difficult things. Story6 is about a lod mouse. He doesn't like children but one happening changed him. And last story is about cleanly mouse. The mouse is selfish man.

When papa finished talking seven bedtime stories, seven little mouse boys have already slept. So, papa is happy and says that good night and see you all in the morning.


~My impression~
I could enjoy seven short stories. All story was easy to read for me but the content is very good. I think papa is good mouse because he chose these good stories for his sons. And these seven little mouse would grow up as good boys each other, I think.

Tokyo Disney Land


The second day of our travel, we went to Tokyo Disney Land. This park usually opens at 9 a.m. so we went to there at 8:30 a.m. and stood in line for open. A lot of people had already stood when we arrived there so we were in a hurry.

After we got through the open gate, fortunatelly we could meet Donald Duck! He is my favorite character so I was very happy. Of course, I asked him take a picture with us so could do that. Additionally, I asked him that I could touch his white hip. He permitted me to do that so I stroked his so cute hip!

At noon, we watched a show at a best position because we waited for one hour for the good place.

All the day, we had a good time in a Dream Land!

After the travel, my friends and I thought that someday we go travel there again!

Tokyo Disney Sea


On September 6, I went to Tokyo Disney Resort with my 2 best friends. I had never been to Tokyo and Disney Resort so I was very excited about going to there before travel!


The first day of travel, we went to Tokyo Disney Sea. First of all, we bought a character's hairband! I bought a Minnie's one. It has 2 cute ribbons so I suit it.

My friends and I rode many scream machines and ate many delicious foods. Especially, a restaurant which we went for dinner was the best restaurant in Disney Sea, I think. First reason, we could eat course dinner and choose each food ourselves. Second reason, we could meet many Disney character during the dinner. When we had dinner, we could meet Micky, Minnie and Pluto. Of course, we took a picture with each charadters. We were very happy! The price of restaurant was about three thoudand yen per person so it was reasonable, I think.

After we went back to our hotel room, we went bar and enjoyed drinking one cocktail. It was very good.

After that we slept soon for the next day. I dreamed a good dream on the day!
