Birthday Party!

On June 20, I took part in a Birthday Party among a department of English literature second year students at PUK. The party was held for 3 students who were born on June.

We had a lot of delicious food at a restaurant and enjoyed talking about something else.
Of course, I drunk some alcoholic drink but I didn't become get intoxicated! However, some of students became get intoxicated so I worried about them but they were OK.

After the party, I had to go back home but some of students had a second party at another restaurant. In fact, I wanted to go it so next time, I would take part it the second party too.

I could have very good time there with my friends.
And Happy Birthday the 3 students!

International Exchange at PUK!


On June 16, I took part in an international Exchange class. In the class, many American navy college students came to this university and we had a conversation.

Most of American students were able to speak Japanese well so I was very surprised.




First, we had a game to take a relaxed attitude each other.


Second, we talked about many kinds of topics over eating some Japanese snacks.


I brought some flavor of powdered tea chocolates and rice crackers. I worried whether foreigners like them or not. However, they enjoyed eating them so I felt happy and relief.




This photo is my group member. I took it when we finished our conversation time.


I hope to have like this chance to speak English with foreigners!


I had a very good time and great an experience in this class.

Then, Jake looks at the beautiful tall girl and he falls in love to her. However, the carnival procession moves down the street so he is running to talk with the woman. Then, the woman and Jake catch their eyes. Therefore, he can ask her name, Maria.


Second, the procession goes near a street cafe so Jake moves too. Then, he sees a camera on the table and he thinks that he wants a photograph of Maria. So, he runs to the procession with belongs to other person's camera.


Fortunately, he can take a picture of Maria. However, unfortunately, he is caught by a policeman because he brought the camera without notice.

He apologized to the camera's owner but the policeman says, "I must take him to a police office." And Jake is standing in front of a police sergeant. When the sergeant checked his bilongings, he found a woman's picture. Then, the sereant smile and walks to the door to call someone.


At that time, a woman comes in. She looks at Jake and he looks at her too. Then, they were very surprise! The woman is Maria! They smiled each other.

I think their encounter is very romantic and fateful! It's very wonderful. And Jake has single-hearted love so maybe, Maria would fell in love to him too. I think Jake is a good man.

The Big Balloon Race


~Summary~

Ariel is the main character in this book. One day, she got up early and hurried to her mother's room. The reason why she did that she wanted to go up in the balloon race. In 1882, they had the big race of balloon in a year and the day was the race day! However, Carlotta who is Ariel's mother disallowed that because Ariel was too young.

After the race's opening ceremony, Carlotta ordered the man so he let go of the ropes and her balloon took off to the blue sky. Then, Ariel waked up from inside the Odds and Ends box. Of course, Carlotta was very surprised but their balloon had been in the sky yet so Ariel couldn't go back to the ground.

And then, Ariel and her mother overcame a lot of accidents and tried to finish the race. But unfortunately, their balloon plunked into the water so they started to cry because they thought that they lost the race. However, the ending, Ariel and Carlotta could win the race and they were given a gold medal by the mayor.
Last, Carlotta hugged her daughter and said that Ariel were old enough to fly in the sky!


~Impression~

I think this book tells me that bonds of parent and child is important to do something. For example, Ariel helped her mother to finish the race when they had some problems about their balloon. From the reason, they could finish it and become a winner.

Additionally, the part of ending, Carlotta recognized Ariel as a racer in the balloon race. I think it is good thing for Ariel because she could have confidence about her doing!

So, I think this book is good.
