Beauty and the Beast




~Summary~

A long time ago, there was a rich family. The family member was a rich man, his some brothers and sisters. The rich man's wife died when the man's children were young . The man has many children but especially, his youngest daughter, Beauty was the man's favorite child.
One day, the man failed in his business so the family had to move from a big house to a small house with a small farm. After some months on the farm, Beauty's father decided to visit to his friends in town so he got on his horse and rode to town.
However, in the afternoon, it started to get cold and windy so he couldn't get home on the same day. Then, he found a big house in front of him. The house was lit up inside and it looked warm so he decided to visit there. He cried loudly "Hello" but nobody answered so Beauty's father slept in a big bed all the night. In the morning, when he walked in a very big garden alone, he found many flowers. Thus, he took some roses for Beauty. Then, an ugly monster appeared in front of him. The monster said "Bring your beautiful daughter for my beautiful roses" to the man. Therefore, after he arrived at his home, he asked Beauty to go to the monster's house.
Beauty's life in the monster's house got better in gradual. But one day, a monster's magic mirror told Beauty that her father got sick. So, she asked the monster to permit to go home for her father. The monster permitted her to do but he said that Beauty must go back when the magic ting tells her that the monster gets sick.
After Beauty's returning, her father was better. But after a few days, Beauty knew that the monster got sick so she went back his house. When she arrived at there, the monster was lying beside the roses so Beauty cried and kissed his white face. Then, a handsome young prince appeared in front of Beauty. The man said Beauty's kiss has broken his magic so thank you.
Beauty and the prince were very happy together and they were married soon. They lived happily ever after.

~Impression~
I have watched the Disney's animation about this story before so I could compare Disney's animation and this book. I think both the story have almost same content.
By the way, I think Beauty is very nice woman. The reason why I think that she lived with the monster but gradually, she felt than better than before. I think Beauty doesn't take someone on face so it is very wonderful thing!

Mother's day!


Last Sunday was Mother's day in Japan. Many people gave their mothers a present. Of course, I wanted to give a present to my mother but ....... I don't money to spare to buy it. The reason why I couldn't do that, my payday of part time job is the end of the month. So, I don't have a lot of money. However, I will give a present to my mother after I get a salary.

By the way, do you know the language of flowers the carnations? Why many Japanese people send red carnations to their mothers. The reason why that, there are many variety colors of carnations but red carnations means "Much love of mother". So, we thanks to our mothers on May 10. I think the day is important day for us.

Fashion of Kumamoto


I will write about "Taiyaki"! You know, recently, Taiyaki is a fashion food in Kumamoto. Especially, "White Taiyaki" is popular among many people. In genaral, Taiyaki's color is black. However, fashionable Taiyaki is white!

Have you ever eaten the kind of Taiyaki? My answer is "No". So, I want to eat it. According to the rumor, Center Plaza( the basement of Koutuu Center) has a new Taiyaki shop. Thus, I will go there one of these days.

Hellow Kittty!


Today, I will introduce my favorite character is "Hollow Kitty".
Her real name is "Kitty White". Her birth day is on November 1st and this year is her 35 anniversary. She was born in a suburb of London. She is good at cooking cookie but her favorite food is her mother's apple pie. I know she likes music but I haven't known the information that she likes English and art too. Maybe you know, Kitty is 5 apples worth of her height and 3 apples worth of her weight.
Kitty has a younger sister. Her name is "Mimmy White". She is good at patchworking and embroidering. Her birthday, address is the same as Kitty.
Kitty has her boyfriend! His name is Daniel Star. I think his appearance is good so Kitty and Daniel are well- matched couple!
Can you enjoy reading this topic? Thank you.

In class: Your friends

Last week, we talked about our firends. First, I will introduce my friend. My best friend is Miki. Her appearance is that she has short hair and she is taller than I. Miki's personality is that very cheerful and gent nature. Especially, she doesn't say nasty things about people. It is my respect point about her. Miki and I were classmates when we were high school students. So, we have been knowing for 5 years.
Second, I will introduce my partner's friend. Last class, my partner was Misaki. Her friend's name is Kana. Kana's appearance is wearing glasses. Her personality is that she likes talking with her friends and she does manythings her own way. Kana and Misaki were classmate in their high school so they became a friend each other.
Last, I will introduce Mina's firend because she was Misaki's partner. One of the Mina's friend's name is Yuka. She has double eyelids and red hair. And, she has short height. Yuka's personality is that she is a very king woman but she is rough. Yuka and Mina were classmate in thier high school.
I noticed that we met our friends when we were high school student! It is very nice things!!

Essay2: How you improve PUK?

I think our university should have a few cafes on our property because we don't have any places to talk over a cup of coffee.
First, our cafeteria closes at 2 p. m. every day. Therefore, we can't enjoy talking while eating lunch or snacks after 2 p.m. Additionally, our cafeteria and university store have only some vending machines so we can't buy any nice coffee at such places.
Second, there are few cafes in the area around PUK so it is not good for us. Usually, we enjoy talking with our friends for a few hours at a cafe. However, PUK and the surrounding area don't have any cafes so we have to go downtown. Unfortunately, it takes some time to go there from PUK so we don't have enough time to talk with friends. And, we must go home before it gets too late and we have to do our homework for the next day so there is no time for us.
For these two reasons, I hope that PUK has a few cafes for us.
In addition, I have another idea for important which is that PUK should have a few convenience stores on our campus. Now, we have only one convenience store at a short distance away from PUK. Thus, when I go there to buy mu lunch, many people are crowded into the store to get their lunch. It takes some time to buy my lunch so it is a bit difficult for me to enjoy eating my lunch in the limited lunch time. Therefore, I wish we could have some convenience stores in PUK.
Of course, I know these my ideas are very difficult things to realize. However, I think if we could have some cafes or convenience stores, our school life would be better than it is now.
