BR: Babe Pig in the city


“Hello” Babe always say that to all other animals. Have you ever heard the story of Babe? Babe is a pig. Babe is a very clever little pig. There are a lot of kinds of animals in this story. This book is from about a movie “Babe-Pig in the city”. Seep, duck, monkey, chimpanzee, Orang-Utan, bull terrier, poodle, dobermann, and mice are in this story.

Babe can bring sheep home as quickly as a farm dog can. I first thought that is very amazing. Babe and his friend, Farmer Hoggett, were famous before this story began, but famous little pigs are not always careful.

Babe met a lot of animals after he went to the city, he always say “Hello” to everyone. I thought it is very cute.

A story of me 2


Hello. This is the second one of a story of myself. As you know, I like to go to see movies. And I also told you I like love stories or war movie. Do you like that kind of movies? I like to know the past of several wars. How about you? What do you think of it? In this world, there were a lot of kinds of war. Of course I don’t like war, and I think war is very bad to all people in this world. What do you think? Is war good or bad? I think it is not good. But so, I think we need to know about many things of war and the past. Don’t you think so? We are naturally spending time in this peace country. I am safe. And you are always safe too. Nobody kill you, or hurt you with nothing. But in other country they still have war. We know it. But we can’t stop it. So I think to know the other countries war is the thing we need.

I think to go to visit a lot of other countries or a lot of places I have never been to are very nice. Oh anyway, I live in Yamaga city, in Kumamoto prefecture. Do you know Yamaga city? I think almost all people have ever heard about the name of this city. Yamaga is a little famous place in Japan, I think. Have you ever been to Yamaga city?

I will talk about a movie I like

As I sad, I like to go to see movie, but I also like to just watch movies in my house. I will talk about a movie I really like. This is a love story. I really like love stories. I like love story is the best. I have never watched this movie. But I knew this story before I saw this. That is why I really wanted to see this movie. This movie’s heroes are Satoshi Tsumabuki, Hiroki Narimiya and Eita. Do you know them? They are very famous actors in Japan. This movie’s heroines are Kou Shibazaki and Miho Shiraishi. Do you know them? They are also famous in Japan, so I think almost all people know them. In this movies story, Kou Shibazaki is a handicapped person. She cannot hear any sound. So she must use sign language. But she is loved from many people, because she is cute and she is very beauty. Then one day, she meets a man. His name is Kai. This man is Satoshi Tumabuki. Then they are in love each other. He is university student and she is same university student. He is very kind man, and he can talk by sign language. So he can talk to her by using sign language. He is an excellent student. She must go to Germany with her mother, because she decides to operate on her ears. Then the other day, she can hear sounds a little bit since she went to Germany to operate on her ears. One day Kai received a letter from her. But this letter writes only a “circle”. He couldn’t understand what she wants to say. The other way Hiroki Narimiya went to Tibet to take a lot of pictures. He wants to be a photographer. But his girlfriend was sad and was crying all night. One day he returned to Japan to graduate university. Then he meets his girlfriend a long time after that. The other way she also returned to Japan to graduate from university. Then she met Kai in Shibuya. She cries for Kai. Then they went to café and talked about marry, university’s life and living plan. Then she decides to meet him. Then she went to his work, hospital to talk him. But they had a quarrel. Then she knew his feelings, because she talked about him to his ex-girlfriend. She retired that marry to her boyfriend. And very finally he decided hard that go to Germany to meet her. Then he finished a university graduation, and he went to Germany by an airplane. This is almost all of this movie’s story. I really like this love story. If you never saw this movie, you really should see this.

I will talk about something I like

I will talk about something I like. Do you like to go see movies? I really like to go to see movies. I like to watch TV shows. What do you think about the difference of watching TV and to see movie? I like to go to see movie is better than just watching TV. To go to see movie is very fun. I like to go to movie theater. There are a lot of movie theaters in Japan, and also in Kumamoto, and also in this world. I think it is so cool. There are a lot of kinds of movie theaters in Japan. I like TOHO movie theater is the best. If you go to the TOHO movie theater, they have a lot of kinds of movies, and you can choose what you want to see. When if you not to planning to see a movie, there are a lot of fun movies, mystery movies, or kind of sad movies, so you may be going to see some movie. There is another thing why I like TOHO movie theater. What do you think it is? The answer is foods. If you see some movie in some movie theater, do you buy some food like popcorns or something like that foods with seeing movies? Of course some people don’t do that, but I think many people want to have something to eat during seeing movies. There are a lot of kinds of movie theaters, and they selling some foods for people who eat or drink something during seeing a movie. What I want to say is the TOHO’s food is the best. They have many kinds of foods. I love it. But I think those are a little bit expensive. And there is one more thing I want to talk about. TOHO movie theater is very clean. I always think, if the place I will use is clean, I feel good, and if it is a movie theater, it is very comfortable to see movies. Don’t you think so?

Living

I will talk about the place where I live. I was living alone in Kumamoto city when I entered my college to junior. But I quit to living alone about a year ago.  I am from Yamaga city in Kumamoto. I live in Yamaga city now. It’s very far away from college I go. I am taking my car to go to college every day. It is takes about an hour or over an hour. It’s too hard to me to go school. I really liked to live in Kumamoto city alone, but it was very lonely for me. It is because I like to be with somebody like my family, or my friends. Almost all my friends are living with their family. Sometimes when I having fun with my friends, and that takes too long, my friends call their home or their family to tell they will get home late, or they do not need supper that day. If I hear them talking like that, I feel very envious. I do not like to be only one anytime. Live in Yamaga, I feel better, because of course there is my family, and they are always waiting for me. I always can be very happy for that. Yamaga city is very different from Kumamoto city. There are a lot of tall buildings, stores, cars, people, and so on in Kumamoto city, but there are not so many like that things in Yamaga city. Of course, it is because Kumamoto is the biggest city in Kumamoto prefecture, you know. Yamaga is like a country town. I like the people in Yamaga. There are a lot of kind people around me in Yamaga, and around me. I love my friends from Yamaga. And each of my friend’s family is also very good people. If there are a lot of good and kind people around you, don’t you feel happy? I do. That way, I am really happy to be from Yamaga city. It’s very hard to go to school sometime, but I love to live Yamaga city.

Happy Day

I am going to talk to you about the happy day. The happy day is about five years ago, when I was in high school. I went to America for about ten month as an exchange student. I stayed a host family’s house in Iowa, but I could visit New York City and Washington DC for about a week with my two host sisters and a friend from the high school where I went. In the New York City, we went to the Times Square. Times Square was very wonderful and it was like a dream for me. When I was a little, I really wanted to go and visit the New York City. So when I could visit to the New York City, I was really happy. I went to Broadway and saw two musicals which I really wanted to see at least one time someday. The one of the musical that I really wanted to see was called “Wicked”, and the other one was “The phantom of the opera”. Maybe almost all people have hard the name of the musical “The phantom of the opera”. Both of the musicals are very famous and popular. I already knew what that two musicals like about, and the songs of the musicals. I was taking a choir class in the school I went in America, and in the choir class we were practicing many songs from, the two musicals that I saw at Broadway. Why I already knew the stories and the songs about the two musicals, before I saw that two musicals. If you knew songs of a musical before you will see the musical, you will feel really excited to see the musical, I think. I was very excited to see that musicals “Wicked” and “The phantom of the opera”. That is why I chose this day for the best day of my life.

After I came back to Japan from America

When I was junior in high school, I came back to Japan. I got to go to school from the next day. Then soon, I had to think about my course of after high school next. Here is another dream I’ve got. It is to be an airline attendant. I really like airport staffs every time I use, and when I saw an airline attendant helping for a foreign person with English, I thought I want to be like that airline attendant. That is why I want to be an airline attendant. But now, I think of it, it was just a dream. I think everyone know dream is big. I think make the dream come true is very hard. But I thought my experience of the exchange program is very useful for my dream that I want to be. So I am very glad to could go to America and knew and lean a lot of things of foreign country.

If you change

If I be able to change to some animal and myself, I want to be a cat. How about you? What animal do you want to be if you can? Why I chose cat is they are free to do anything. Cat is cute. If I can change to be a cat, I want be a clean white color of cat, and I want to be a little bit of fat cat. Not so big and fat cat. Just a little bit fat cat. Don’t you think it is cute? I think. I sad cats are just free to do anything. Can you feel that means? I hope you can. There are a lot of kinds of animals. Which animals do you like? Human is also an animal. We can talk, we can sing, we can study, we can speak, we can think, we can do so many things. I think it’s so crazy. But human, like that crazy is cool and great.

Talking about my best friend from my junior high school

I will talk and introduce my best friend. The best friend’s name is Rika. She is a girl. She is my best friend since we were in junior high school. My best friend is just her. What I want to say is “best friend is not just one person. It means the person has two best friends or three best friends, like that” someday somebody said. My best friend Rika is very cute. Just not cute, she is beautiful. She has big eyes, long and beautiful hair, and she has very good style. I always think it is very mottainai for her to being my best friend, because she is so cute. I mean, I am not like that cute so. We have been friend since we were elementary school students. She is a friend from elementary school. We were going to same elementary school, and same junior high school. We went to different high school, and we are going to different university. I am going to here Kumamoto Gakuen University, but she is going to Kumamoto Health Science University. I was dreaming to be an airport staff. It is of course a staff of an airport. It calls grand staff in Japan, if I’m right. And my best friend is dreaming to be a nurse, I think that’s right. We have very different dreams. I was thinking why we can be very good friends each other. We were not so good friends for each other when we were elementary school students. When we started to go to junior high school, we also started to have fun together with a lot of other friends. And before we graduate from junior high school, just she and I were still having fun together. We can talk everything to each other. It is not just everything. There is nothing we can’t talk about. We can say every each thing we thought of each other. I think it is very big and good thing that we could to tell all of things of thought for the each other. Rika and I can do that to each other. I think it is why we can be good friend, and best friend. I love her very much.

I will talk about my memory

I had a dream since I was nine years old. It is to be able to speak English, like speaking English people. Why I want to be able to speak English is because of a native teachers and American movies. I was going to English conversation lesson since I was six years old and till fourteen years old. In the lesson, we had some native teachers once a year. When I first saw and hear English that they talking, the sounds of English words are very cool and wonderful, I through. In that time, I was seven years old, so I didn’t really care what they saying. But when I grew up a little bit, I really wanted to know what they talking about. Because my hobby was watching American movies. And when I was in Junior high school, I had another reason of that my dream. The reason is English is common language for every country. When I was in third grade of Junior high school, I had to decide which High School do I want to go. I didn’t have good idea for high school. But one day I heard about a school. It’s said they have exchange program with an American school for ten months. This thing was very big for me to decide high school.  I entered that high school. Then I requested to the exchange program. That year, person who requested for the exchange program was just me. I was worried about it. But I started to think good way. And I left to Iowa. The first day of school, I was very nervous. We had a homeroom period first, and the teacher was telling some school regulations. That was very long and I couldn’t understand what the teacher saying at all. Then every day, I took six classes. Of course I had to study every classes same as other students. At the first trimester I took some easier classes like Art, P.E. or Choir. And the hardest one was English. Second trimester, I took harder classes than first trimester like Algebra or American History. A lot of words from American History were very difficult to remember. Third trimester, I had to took hardest classes for me. When three or four months are past, I could understand almost what people saying. I was walking in the hall way, and two students were walked through. They were talking, I could hear that voice and I laughed about it. That is how I did know I could hear people. And when seven or eight months are past, I could answer or tell my mind to people better by hearing. I was very glad.

Interesting one


I will talk about Full House. Do you know it? This is a drama made in USA. This drama is a comedy and this drama is popular from a lot of people. There are eight series in full house. I watched the second season and the third season with my younger brother when I was a junior high school student. Full house made us very happy. Full house had been broadcasting for five years in Japan. I always watched it every week. My favorite character is Michelle. She is a baby and she is the seven months after birth. She is loved from everyone so she is a spoiled brat. But she likes her family better than the other family. I like her personality. I also like that she says words, because she is unique so her talk is very interesting. For example in the third series, she was third years old but she started to argue with her uncle. She only can have a row with her uncle. The other someone of her family could not have a row with her uncle. She is the third daughter of Tanner. Tanner is her father and he has his third daughter. But his wife met with traffic accident. Then she was died by this accident. He asked his younger brother and his best friend that please help us. Then they started living together. Why do you know that drama’s tittle is full house? It means big family! I envy them because they enjoy living together every day and if one of family is suffer, they can give each other help. What an excellent! My family wants to give each other help like this full house. Finally this movie tells viewer many things. For example love is important, a best friend is important and family is important. Full house will make you smile and sad. So I want you to watch Full house. If you want to watch it, you should borrow it at near DVD rental shop. I also want to watch the first season again.
