Differences of Opinion

　There are many things that I can’t understand about boys. One thing I would never be able to understand about them is their self-centered behavior when they are feeling irritable. Whenever they get annoyed by something, many boys act like everything they say is always the right opinion. I really can’t understand why they can’t just calm down.  

　

Not a Normal Zoo Day

It all started on a nice sunny day last April. All the kids in school were excited to be going to the zoo, but I was especially excited. I love animals and picnics, and going to the zoo is having both at the same time.

At the zoo, we got to see different animals in their cages and some of them were getting fed by their guards. Each of us had a favorite animal, and mine was the Elephant.

It was all going well, until Sam decided to mess around with the lock on the monkeys' cage and then...
all the monkeys came out. They suddenly began to hurt people. They climbed on people a, pulled their hair and they tried to get food from them. It was teribble.

When  a monkey tried to take my bag, I rememberd that I had a bunch of bananas for lunch. I threw it into the monkeys' cage and all the monkey went back to the cage to get bananas.Then the guards locked the cage at once. My bananas were gone, but I became the hero of the zoo!

The End.

These Days

 Last Saturday, my cousins’ children, Taishi and Kohana came to my house. They frequently visit my house. Taishi is the older one. He is three years old. Kohana is one years old. My family and I love them so much. I always talk about them with my mother and sister.

We were planning to go to the park near my house, but it was raining on Saturday. So we sang and danced together at home. We also played hide-and-seek. They try to hide their head, but never hide their body. So it’s really easy to find them. But when I pretend like I can’t find them, they laugh out loud with good cheer.

  

  They were too cute and I couldn’t help hugging them.

 I’m looking forward to seeing them again as soon as possible.

  

Where I Live

 There is a oldest reservoir in Japan called “Sayama-ike” next to my house. I have seen it on the textbook, so someone might know about it. It was made more than 1400 years ago, and was repaired by the famous monk, Gyouki. There is a museum beside it, and you can learn many things about “Sayama-ike” and lives of ancient times.

 Now, a promenade runs along it, so sometimes I run there with my mom and my sister. There are lots of cherry trees along the promenade, and some people enjoy a picnic under the cherry blossoms in spring. There are also various kinds of birds, and many people enjoy bird watching.

A festival called “Sayama-ike maturi” is held every year. It is a big event for people who live in my town, especially for kids and old people.

I love Sayama very much. I think it is the best town to live.

  

BURLESQUE

There are many movies that I want to recommend. I have lots of favorite movies, so it’s hard for me to choose only one. The movie which became one of my favorite most recently is “BURLESQUE”. It was a movie about a girl called Ali. She is a girl from countryside who has dreamed to become a star.

One day, Ali visits the club, “BURLESQUE” and she was carried away by the fantastic show. She tried so hard and became a performer. She had succeeded by her talent and effort. After she became a performer, she and the owner of the club, Tess, gets over many problems and the story ends up with a great success.

My favorite singer Christina Aguilera played the part of Ali. All the songs and the dances she performed in this movie were so amazing that I kept my eyes riveted on the screen for the whole time. I think everyone should watch this movie.
