Discussion11 January 21th ~Our last class~

Last week, our discussion topic was "Spam Filtering". I'm a network administrator and a father for a young family. As part of my responsibility as a network administrator is to monitor the e-mails for the organization. Of course, I must not reveal the contents of confidential e-mails of staff members regardless of the contents. It is my company's policy.

However, one day, I get a e-mail which has come from the wife of a very good friend of me. I find that it is actually an e-mail to my friend's wife from her lover. Actually, I want to tell that to my friend but I have to observe my company's rule. That is dilemma so we discussed "What should we do?".

In my opinion, I should not say the truth to my friend because I need distinguish between business and private thing. When I checked the e-mail, I worked at my office as a administrator. Therefore, I can't say that to my friend. Nevertheless, in fact, I want to tell him the truth because he is my important person. Then, I should have a chance to tell him in my private time. Of course, I can not say straight it to him but I can give a chance to remind him what the his wife does wrong now. If the friend answer that he and his wife don't have any problems when I ask him, I have nothing left to say except the follow words; "OK, I see. But, if you have got some questions about your life or love, I'm ready to listen your worry."
The reason why I say, I can't leave the problem with doing nothing. I feel very much that one wants to do something because he is my very good friend. It was our group consensus.

Discussion10 January 14th

Last week, we discussed "Dilemma". The content that a mad man was arrested by police but he had already planted a terrible thing. It is a bomber! Unfortunately, it can kill hundreds of people and we do not have enough time to look for it ourselves. However, the mad man uses his right to keep silent so police can't find it by him. Therefore, police decides to torture the mad man's wife instead of him. The reason why police decides it, they think the mad man would say the truth because he must be important his wife.
Then, we think about this dilemma. What should we do? Do we agree with police's idea or not? In my opinion, of course, we can't lost hundreds of innocent people's lives due to the mad bomber so we need to prevent his bad plan. In fact, if I am one of the victims of the bomber, I can't allow the man absolutely. Nevertheless, it is not good to torture the mad man's wife because she is innocent. Additionally, I think we are not sure that whether he says the bomber's place or not. It is possible that he would break off his wife. If the mad man don't say the truth in spite of police torture the wife, it is no meaning. For these reasons, we should find another way to find the bomber.
One idea is police torture the mad man himself. It is the simple solution. The important point is we must not kill him by the torture but we need do it by he says "You win (=give up)".
Another idea is we exercise a hypnotic to him. It is a peaceful way because nobody sustain an emotional hurt. If the mad man refuse the hypnotic, police can do it by force. Our group member thought it is the best way about this problem so it became our consensus.

Discussion 9 December 17th

Last week, our discussion topic was "Discussion". All of us, we experienced the panelist two times in the class. Therefore, the last group suggested us that what is a good discussion. To our surprise, this group had two topics about discussion. So, at first, we thought that what should we do for making a good discussion.

This discussion member were Ms. Masako, Satoko, Jun, Mr. Marukom and a moderator. First, the moderator explained that Ms. Masako and Satoko have the idea which they think leading to a consensus is important. On the other hand, Ms. Jun and Mr. Marukom think that audience's opinions are the most important things. Ms. Masako and Satoko said our purpose is leading consensus so it is the most important thing. However, Ms. Jun and Mr. Marukom said audience have an obligation to say their opinion so it is important thing. Therefore, they discussed it and after that a moderator summarized as following:

It is exactly that we need some good opinions because it will make our consensus. What is important is that we should recognize limited time and strong opinion.

After we found the consensus, we moved the next topic. It was should we say more our opinion in the discussion. Ms. Masako and Jun think audience should say more their opinion but Ms. Satoko and Mr. Marukom think they don't think so. The reason why Ms. Satoko thinks that, she thinks audience should say more support opinion. However, Ms. Jun said some audience say their opinions but some audience don't say so it is problem. Therefore, Ms. Masako who is a strict teacher suggested that teachers will deduct points from the students' results if they don't say their opinion in the discussion. However, other three panelists disagreed with this idea because it is very childish. Then, Mr. Marukom said the most important thing for audience is to try to say their opinion in the discussion. And the teacher should estimate their endeavor.
When other three panelists listened to his opinion, they agreed with it.
So, end of the discussion, the moderator summarize about the second topic as following:

Every students should try to voice in the discussion.

From today's discussion, I learned some important things and thought that I shouldn't be afraid of a challenge to say my opinion.

Today's song 1

~Last Christmas~
Last Chiristmas, I gave you my herat
But the very next day, you gave it away
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special

Once bitten and twice shy
I keep my distance but you still catch my eye
Tell me baby do you recognise me?
Well it's been a year, it doesn't surprise me

Happy Christmas, I wrapped it up and sent it
With a note saying "I love you" I meant it
Now I know what a fool I've been
But if you kissed me now I know you'd fool me again

A crowded room, friends with tired eyes
I'm hiding from you and your soul of ice
My fod I thought you were some one to rely on
Me? I gress I was a shoulder to cry on

A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
A man undercover but you tore me apart
Now I've found a real love you'll never fool me again

Small Discussion 1 Dicember 8th

Last week, we divided into small groups and discussed a topic. It was that if I am the son's father, what would I say to the police in the case?
First, we read the text and thought about it. When I finished reading the text, I thought the son should say the bag is his. However, I changed my opinion after discussion with my group member.
In our discussion, we had many kinds of ideas. First, Ms. Nanase said she would say the bag is hers so she would cover for the son. She and I had a different idea so I asked her why would you cover him. Then, she answered that if the police knows that marijuana is the son's, he could be jailed for life or worse, executed. Therefore, she wants to protect him so she would say that. When I heard her opinion, I noticed the side of punishment and I rethought about it. Of course, I want to protect him from the punishment too, so I changed my opinion and agreed with Ms. Nanase's idea.
Then, Ms. Azusa said her opinion. That was she would say "The bag is mine but I don't know the marijuana so maybe somebody put it in my bag." I thought her idea was good too so I hesitated which idea is better.
However, Ms. Misaki suggested that if the lie will be out to police, all family members may be punished by the country's low. When we heard her suggestion, we agreed with it. Even so, we want to protect the son so we rethought about it. Then, I suggested that initiating a contact with a lawyer is the best idea. However, one of the members said to me that it was good idea but at first, we have to think what we should say to the police in this situation.
After a few thinking time, Ms. Nanase suggested a good idea. That was we would say "The bag is my son's bag but I put the marijuana in his bag. The reason why I did that, it fell down on a floor in our hotel so I thought it belongs to my son and I put it in him bag. Therefore, my son and I didn't know it was marijuana!" Of course, it was a downright lie but we thought it was the best idea so her idea became our consensus.
After the discussion, I considered my group member's opinion and I found that all members said lie is the best idea. I think maybe speaking truth is one of the ideas so I want to discuss with someone who think speaking truth is the best.

Discussion8 November 26th

Last discussion topic was that Japan should introduce the system of grade skipping, or not.
The member were Mr. Taro, Lee, Ms. Hayashi, Koizumi and a chair person.

First, Mr. Taro who is a fifth grade of elementary school student said he agreed with this idea. The reason why he did, he thought it is nothing but a giant waste of time that we have already understood study.
However, Ms. Hayashi who is a elementary school teacher worried that the system would cause the difference of communication among the students who skipped their grade. Then, Mr. Lee who is a Chinese student said that in fact, he does not have any best friends because he skipped his grade so he could understand Ms. Hayashi's opinion.

Next, Ms. Koizumi said her opinion. She is a Minister of Education so she explained the current Japanese situation about this country's education system. Now, in Japan, we introduce the compulsory education system from elementary school to junior high school. Therefore, she thought that children should complete their 9 years studies so she disagreed with the grade skipping system.

After they said their opinion, the chair asked them what is the solution about the difference of communication. Then, Ms. Hayashi suggested that we give a test to children who hope to skip their grade. The test type is terminal or oral examination. That way, it will solve the problem, she thought. However, the other panelists and audience had some questions and opposite ideas. Additionally, we started deviating from the topic.

Then, Mr. Jeff suggested a good idea. It was that we make a special class for talented students instead of introducing the grade skipping system. I think Jeff's idea is better than the system. The reason why I think that, talented students can study at their level in their classes but they can communicate with the same grade students while their break time. Therefore, we can solve the problem of the difference of communication so I think the idea is good.

Happy time!!

Last Friday, I ate this ice cream! The name is "Hot caramel Ice cream".

Nowadays, "nama caramel" is very popular sweet in Japan. It is very softly so when we put it in our mouth, the caramel melts quickly.

Its owner is Tanaka Yoshitake. He is a Japanese talent so he introduced his caramel in a variety show. Then, it became a very famous sweet in Japan.

This picture shows that a vanilla ice cream was covered with hot caramel sauce. Yes!! The caramel sauce made of "nama caramel". Additionally, the sauce was hot caramel sauce so I enjoyed eating cold and hot taste.

You know, "nama caramel" is very expensive sweet and we can't buy this "Hot caramel Ice cream" in Kumamoto. The reason why I could eat it , Tsuruya depart held a fair of Hokkaidou so the shop came to Kumamoto and I could eat it.

Unfortunately, the fair had already finished so you can't eat it now.

There are some this ice cream shops in Japan, so if you really want to eat it, you should go somewhere in Japan. Of course, in Hokkaidou, you can eat!

Discussion 7 November 19th

Last discussion topic was that we should introduce the system of daylight saving time. This discussion member were Ms. Satsuki, Kamazuka, Amasawa, Mr. Nikaidou and a chair.


According to the chair, in U.S.A, Canada, Australia and many European countries introduce this system. Therefore, we could introduce too.

First, Ms.Satsuki said she agreed with this idea. She is a government office worker so she stated one's views of the government aspect. For example, she proposed that we could reduce the number of traffic accidents because we could go home before it gets dark. Additionally, the system will lead to the ecology activity. The reason why she said such an idea that if we could go home before it gets dark, we could cut down on the use of lights at the each offices. Therefor, she agreed with the system.

Second, Mr. Nikaidou who is a company employee said his opinion. According to his opinion, he was on neutral ground because the system has both advantage and disadvantage. He said it was good for us to cut cost of energy thanks for the system because we could think about global warming. On the other hand, if we introduce this system, his company have to change all clocks so that means they need a lot of money. Therefore, he couldn't agree with the idea completely.

Third, Ms. Kamazuka said her opinion. She has a daughter who is a elementary school student so she worried about her child's physical condition. If we introduce the system, children's class schedule would change so Ms. Kamazuka thought that they wouldn't be able to keep up with the change of their environment. Consequently, she disagreed with the idea.

Last, Ms. Amasawa who is a elementary school teacher said her opinion. She agreed with the idea because she thought thanks for the system, children can go home before it gets dark so it is very safety for them.

Afterward all panelists said their opinion, they talked about the cost, advantages and case of Hokkaidou. Then, Ms. Nikaidou suggested that we would change only opening time instead of daylight saving time system. According to her idea, we have not to change our clocks and only change our schedule.

After their discuss, audience asked some questions to each panelists. Then, one of the students came up with a new idea. That was we would introduce only eastern Japan. The reason why she thought, western Japan's evening later than eastern Japan so western Japan need not to introduce the system. We thought the new idea was better but we couldn't understand the purpose of the idea completely.
Therefore, when the chair asked us that we agree with the system or not, most of us couldn't agree with the idea.

In the end, our consensus was "NO" so the team couldn't lead to the assent side.

Discussion6 November 12th

In last discussion class, we thought about free medical care for citizen. This discussion team had 4 panelists and a chair.


First, each panelists introduced themselves and they said agree or disagree with the idea. Then, there were 2 supporters in panelists. One was Ms. Ume who is a homemaker and the other was Mr. Tomozou who is a clerk at a cigar store. In particular, Ms. Ume and her husband have no income so they live on pension. However, they have regular health problems so their medical bill is very expensive. Therefore, if medical care change into a free service, it would be good for them.

On the other hand, Ms. Miyu who has a family disagreed with the idea. The reason why she did that she rarely goes to hospital so it is needless system for her. Additionally, her family isn't rich so she didn't want to pay more tax for the system.

However, concerning the raising tax, Ms. Ume and Mr. Tomozou worried too. Ms. Ume and Mr. Tomozou are not rich people so they want to get free medical care without raising tax. Then, the chair asked them that how to get money for free medical care.


Ms. Ume's idea that smoking and drinking is bad for the health so alcohol and cigarette taxes should increase for the system. However, of course, Mr. Tomozou disagreed with her idea and he insisted that we should raise only consumption tax. Then, Ms. Miyu said raising consumption tax is bad for not rich people like her. They argued with each other about what kind of tax we should increase so the chair suggested raising income tax.

Then, Ms. kyoko opposed the idea. Until this point, she said it is not her problem because her husband has a lot of money. However, if we change income tax, Ms.Kyoko would have to pay more money so she thought it was unfair for her.

While they talking about tax, they got off the subject and started talking about object person who can receive free medical care. Therefore, I didn't understand why raising income and consumption taxes was their consensus. So, I got my own thought. In my opinion, if we impose pleasure tax, it would be fair for all people. The reason why I thought that, like drinking, watching movies are not indispensability for our lives so we can pay tax about it. However, it is unhappy to live for people if we impose a tax on all pleasure so we need to limit the extent, I think.

Last, I think both panelists and audience should be careful to keep our discussion topic.

Discussion5 November 5th

Last discussion topic was that how to reduce the electric bill in PUK. The discussion members were Ms. Mariko, Keiko, Mr.Takashi and Shinohara.

First, Ms.Keiko who is a officer of General Administration Division in PUK explained that now, PUK pays a lot of money which is about 75 million yen for the year as electric bill so it is very expensive. Therefore, she suggested that we should reduce it by controlling the temprature of air conditioners. Her idea that we set air conditioners to 28 degrees in summer and to 18 degrees in winter.

However, Ms. Mariko who majors in English literature in PUK disagreed with Ms. Keiko's idea. The reason why she thought that in summer, 28 degrees must be hot and in winter, 18 degrees must be cold so it is bad for students to study in PUK.

Then, Mr.Takahashi who majors in combined management in PUK suggested that we set air conditioners to 26 degrees in summer and to 20 degrees in winter.

Ms. Keiko answered about Mr.Takahashi's idea that if we set 26 and 20 degrees each seasons, we have to reduce the electric bill by the other ways.
So, Mr. Shinohara who is a professor of environment department came up with a good idea. That is "solar panel". He thought if we have some ones, we could reduce the electric bill despite we set comfortable temperature. However, Ms. Keiko pointed that we need a lot of money to buy some solar panels so it is no meaning. Then, Mr. Shinohara explained about her opposing opinion that a solar panel can generate 1kilo watts so it is economical in the long run.
Mr. Shinohara's explanation was good so Ms. Keiko could agree with his idea.

From now, the chair asked Ms. Mariko that setting of comfortable temperature is good or not for the cost and environment. Of course, she answered it is not good but she said PUK should give us a good life for students to study comfortably. So, panelists and audience needed to find some solutions outside of solar panel.

Then, one student came up with a good idea. The idea is that we use an electric fan with air conditioners. The reason why the student thought the idea that if we use it, we could cycle the room's air! It was very good idea so we could say we found a good solution about the topic.
In fact, our consensus was using solar panel and electric fan.

After the discussion, I thought we should reconsider our discussion style. So, next discussion, I want to try to do discussion like group5's style!

Happy Halloween!!

On October 31Th, I had a Halloween party with my friends. The day, we made a jack-o-lantern! The left picture is before making it. The pumpkin was so big and nice orange color. And the right picture is finished the lantern. We made a scared face it!

First, we made a draft on the pumpkin.

Then, we decided the scared face and draw it.

Second, we cut off the top of the pumpkin. The part of jagged shape! The pumpkin was hard to cut so it was difficult for us.

Third, we removed pumpkin fibers. There were a lot of fibers in it so it was very hard work.

Last, we cut off the eyes, nose and mouth. It took an hour for us to complete the jack-o-lantern but we could make a very good it!It was my first time so I enjoyed making it very much.

In the party, I don't have any costumes so I wore a Minnie Mouse hairband which I bought in Disney Land. I had a very good party with my Friends! I hope that next year we have a Halloween party too.

Discussion4 Octorber 29th

Last Discussion topic was "Should all elementary school students have their own mobile phone, or not?" This discussion's guests were Ms. Miyagawa, Sakamoto, Tanaka and Sato.

First, the chair read a data that 30 children died last year so if they have their mobile phone, they would escape the accident. According to the data, in Japan, 70% children don't have their own mobile phone now. Therefore, the chair suggested that the government should give the mobile phones to all elementary school students.

Then, Ms. Sakamoto said that now her daughter doesn't have her own mobile phone but if the government give a phone, it would be a good idea for her daughter. However, she worried about the cost because it is very expensive. So, Ms. Tanaka who is a government officer said if the idea pass after the discussion, they would support the cost so home obligation fees will be only￥1,000 per month. This idea was so good for Ms. Sakamoto but she had another problem. It was that she worried about the trouble of mobile phone. The mobile phone has a lot of troubles now, so she couldn't agree with the idea completely. Then, Ms. Miyagawa who works for a mobile phone company suggested that they would set up the lowest limit system so the mobile phones are safety for children. Therefore, Ms. Sakamoto could solve her cares so agreed with the idea completely.

On the other hands, another guest had a problem. That was Ms. Sato because she is a single woman so she doesn't have her child. If the government support the cost of mobile phones for all elementary school students from income tax, the idea would not be good for her. However, Ms. Tanaka said to her that children would be responsible for the next generation so adult people should save them from a lot of dangerous things. Ms. Sato was convinced by Ms. Tanaka's persuasion so she agreed with the idea at last.

So, the discussion team's consensus that the government should give the mobile phones to all elementary school students. However, the mobile phone has restrictive functions that children could call and send mail to their parents, school and emergency systems. And the cost of mobile phone will be supported by the government from income tax so home obligation fees will be only ￥1,000 per month.

After the discussion, we talked about the problems. Then, one student asked that why 70% elementary school students even now don't have their own mobile phones? The student continued that maybe the 70% parents think their children need not to have their own mobile phones but you recommend mobile phone to them. So, the student didn't understand the reason. When I heard the question, that was exactly what I thought . However, the discussion team couldn't give the good solution to her so I couldn't satisfy the idea.

I think the topic was interesting but the team should have developed their idea deeply.

Frog and Toad are friends 3

~Summary~

One day, Toad and Frog went for a long walk. They walked across a large meadow, in the wood and along the river. After that they went back home to Toad's house.

Then, Toad found that he lost one of the buttons on his jacket. Therefore, Toad and Frog went back to all the places where they walked.

First, they walked back to the large meadow and began to look for Toad's button in the tall grass. Then, Frog found a black button. Unfortunately, it was not Toad's one because his button was white. So, Toad put the black button in his pocket.
After that, a sparrow flew down and he showed a button which the sparrow found to Toad. Unfortunately, it was not Toad's one because his button had four holes but that had only two holes. So, Toad put the button with two holes in his pocket.

Second, Toad and Frog went back to the woods and looked on the dark paths. Then, Frog found a small button. Unfortunately, it was not Toad's one because his button was big. So, Toad put the small button in his pocket.
After that, a raccoon came and showed a square button. Unfortunately, it was not Toad's one because his button was round. So, he Toad put the square button in his pocket.

Last, Toad and Frog went back to the river. They looked for the button in the mud. Then, Frog found a thin button. Unfortunately, it was not Toad's one because his button was thick. So, Toad put the thin button in his pocket.

At last, Toad was very angry and ran home and slammed the door. Then, he found a white, four-holes, big, round, thick button. It was his one! And he thought what a lot of trouble he has made for Frog. Therefore, he took all of the buttons out of his pocket and sewed them all over his jacket.

The next day, Toad gave his jacket to Frog. Frog felt so happy. Of course, Toad had sewed all buttons on very well so none of them fell off.

~My impression~
I think this story is very rhythmical so it is very interesting to read for readers.
It is very good point that Toad felt regretful for Frog and apologized to him.
The story has many good points in it!

An apple pie!

Last Sunday, I went to a cafe with my two friends.

The meeting time was 4 p.m. so we were little hungry. The cafe is famous for an apple pie so we ordered it each other. However, my apple pie had a little different point compared with my friends. It had a big ice cream on it! The price was a little expensive but I want to eat an apple pie with an ice cream so I ordered it.

The apple pie had some very good baked apples and apple jam between upper and under pies. It was so delicious! Of course, ice cream too.

After eating, we enjoyed talking about anything for a long time. The reason why we did that, the cafe has a relaxed atmosphere so we wanted to relax there.

So, I had a very good time there.

If you want to go the cafe, please tell me. I can teach you the place of the cafe.

Disccusion 3 Octobor 22th

Last week, we had third time discussion. The discussion's topic was "Should we pay for the ambulance, or not?" The team member were Ms.Yone, Shizuko, Kashiwagi, Dr.Shindou and the chair.

First, the chair suggested that the fare is 15,000yen. Then Dr.Shindou said that he agreed with the idea because if we pay for the ambulance, survice of ambulance would be better.
However, Ms.Yone said she disagreed with it because she often uses the ambulance. She has a regular health problem so if we have to pay for them, it is difficult for her. In additionally, Ms.Shizuko said that 15,000yen was too high so we should reduce the price. The reason why she said that she lives in a country side so it takes about a few hours to get to hospital from her country by car.
Therefore, if we have to pay for the ambulance, it is difficult for her too. So, the chair suggested that 10,000yen to the fare. Then, Ms.Kashiwagi agreed with it because she is a local government officer so the price was good for her.
However, Ms. Shizuko said 10,000yen was still expensive so we should reduce the price to 5,000yen. Expect for Ms.Yone, everyone agreed with Ms.Shizuko's idea but Ms.Yone has a lot of medical expense so she couldn't Ms. Shizuko's idea.
Then, Ms. Kashiwagi suggested that if people who use over 5 times in a year, we could reduce the price by 30%. The idea was so good for Ms.Yone so she agreed with it.
Therefore, the team's consensus that our fare is 5,000yen for the ambulance. However, people who use over 5 times in a year can reduce the price by 30%.

After the discussion, we talked about some problems and other ideas for the discussion.
Then, one of the students suggested a good idea. The idea was that the doctors can have a right to decide whether the patients should pay for the ambulance or not. Most audience agreed with the idea and of course me too.

I think if the team had deeper discussion, they could find better idea. However, this topic and discount system are very interesting idea. The discussion need to have a better society for us.

Discussion 2 October 15th

Last Thursday, we had second time discussion. The discussion team was my group.
Our discussion topic was about "No my own car day".

First, I explained the topic and a Korean example. The example that the Korean government held on "No my own car day" and got some effects. So, we proposed an idea that we try to have the campaign day all over the country once a week in Japan. This plan is that we can use all public transportation without charge on the campaign day. Our group discussed this idea and found our consensus.

First problem was about the point which is all over the country. Ms. Hirota said it is difficult for people so the government should start from all cities. Then, the government should extend to cuontries bit by bit. The reason why she proposed that she always goes to school by car because she lives in a country. So, we agreed to her idea.

Second problem was about the point which is a whole day and once a week. Mr. Shiraki said that all day and once a week is not good for people so the government should do it twice a month. His idea was good so we agreed with him.

Last problem was about the point which is twice a month. Ms. Yamada said that if we have the campaign day twice a month, it is not good for her businees. The reason why she thought, she is a public transportation worker. Therefore, Ms. Satou who is a city office worker said she could help them by gasoline tax. In additionally, Ms. Hirota gave a idea that people must pay only 100 yen for them. From these ideas, Ms. Yamada felt easy about the point of no charge.
However, Mr. Shiraki didn't satisfied because the idea doesn't think about businessmen like him. Therefore, we discuss and found an idea that if businessmen like Mr. Shiraki apply to the city office, they could use thier cars in spite of the campaign day.

Our discussion finished at this point so we asked audiences and requested some opinions. Then a few audiences gave us very good question. Unfortunately, the question was very difficult problem so our group couldn't solve it. Therefore, I thought that we should discuss too deep.

Discussion was so difficult because it was first time for me. However, I knew that we need to discuss about the topic in various aspects.

Frog and Toad are friends 2

~Summary~
One day, Frog was not feeling well so Toad said to him that Frog should get into bed and rest. Therefore, Frog followed Toad and went to a bed but he asked Toad to tell him a story while he is resting. Of course, Toad said "OK" but he couldn't come up with a story to Frog. So, he went out on the front porch and walked up and down but he couldn't come up with any stories.
Then he went into the house and stood on his head because he thought that if he stand on his head, it would help him to think of a story. However, he couldn't come up with any stories.
Then Toad poured a glass of water over his head because he thought that if he pour water, it would help him to think of a story.
Then Toad began to bang his head against the wall because he thought that if he beng his head against the wall hard enough, it would help him to think of a story. However, he couldn't come up with any stories.

Finally, Frog was feeling much better without a story but instead of him, Toad was not fooling well. Therfore, he borrowed Frog's bed and had a rest.

~My impression~
Toad is a king man because he endeavored to have a story for Frog. In the end of story, he couldn't come up with any stories but Frog must be satisfied with Toad's behavior.
I think they are veyr good friend each other.

A movie!

Last Wednesday, I went to the cinema with my two friends. The reason why we went to there on the day, on every Wednesday is "Ladies Day" so we can watch all movies only one thousand yen!

On the day, we watched "Kaizi". It is the movie's titile. The movie's main character is a slovenly man. His name is "Kaizi". One day, he has a high-interest debt. After that, story developed and Kaizi grew up with his friends.

The movie had a lot of cruel scene so I looked away from those many times. However, the story was good so I could enjoy watching it!

After the movie, we went to a restaurant. I orderd an omelette containing stir-fried rice. This picture is it. You know, it had two kinds of sauces. One was ketchup and another was cheese with black pepper. Therefore, I could enjoy eating two kings of tastes.

I had very good time in the day and I want to go cinema every Wednesday, I thoght.

A chocolate!

Tofay, I finished my class at 2:20 p.m. So, my friend and I went to lobby and enjoyed talking for a long time. We talked about each other. A few hours later, we felt a little hungry so we went to a kiosk and bought some snacks.

This picture is my snack! It is a chocolate. This character is "Baikinman". Maybe almost people know him because he is very popular character in Japan. He is an enemy of "Anpanman". Anpanman is a hero in Japanese animation so almost Japanese people had seen him before when they were children.

This chocolate was very good. Additionally, I could have a nice time with my friend.

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!
