Movie Review 4 - Drumline -

This movie tells us we are not alone and thinking of our fellows is important. It said that everything will never work if you don't care about your members.

The main character is Devon, who is really good at playing the drums, however who is selfish. Dr. Lee was the leader of the music band, and he is strict person. Sean is the section leader of the drum part, who really loves music.

At the beginning of the movie, Devon graduated from the high school and he entered the university which was famous for the brass band because he was recommended. The training was so hard, for example running while currying a drum. Devon and the members finished the training as freshman and they took a test to separate their class. Devon passed with the upper class and he was very glad that. At a marching event, Devon played Sean's part because he made him angry by his insolent words. Devon's play was exciting, however, he made Dr. Lee angry by his selfish playing. One day at a practice, he asked to play the section, but he couldn't read music, which was a problem and not saying that was serious problem too. He needed to go classes and study about music, and he also couldn't play at concerts.

The climax of the movie was exciting for their playing music. Devon couldn't play at the BEC classic, but he admitted to play in next year's one. At the classic, both A&T and BMC played a really wonderful performance, so a winner was not decided and each Drumline was to play by turns and they played a performance. As a result, A&T won.

I like this movie because I love music and playing the drum was very exciting and wonderful. And also it was emotional that Devon changed from when he was selfish person and he began to learn music hard. [319 words]

Book Review 9

I read a book whose title was Corduroy's Hike. Lisa was going to go hiking at a school event. In a morning, she prepared for going hiking and checked her backpack. She had a bear named Corduroy, but she was anxious about dropping down him, so she decided not to bring. However, Corduroy followed her. She and her classmates arrived at a park and they worked. The backpack bounced when she worked, and Corduroy fell down from the backpack. He though Lisa would pick up him but she didn't notice it. Then, two hikers picked up him but they though it had a owner so they left him. Next, some Cob Scout fined him and a boy threw him and they treated him as a boll. Corduroy began to walk and he fell into a stream, however he stopped on a rock. When it became the time that Lisa and her classmates went back to school, Lisa was very sad because she had lost Corduroy somewhere. When they got on the buss, Susan sat down next to Lisa and Susan gave Lisa Corduroy. Lisa was really happy.

I think Lisa was wondered why Corduroy was duty and wet, and she would asked him about that. Corduroy had many hard incidents, so I think he tired very much and he was lonely during alone, and also he might think he couldn't met Lisa again. When I was child and I lost my way to home, I was sad and miss my mother. [251 words]

Then two men visited from Scrooge and asked him to help for poor people, but Scrooge refused it because he didn’t like someone became happy. At the night, when he went to his room, Marley ghost who had lived before some years ago and worked harder as Scrooge did was appeared. He didn’t want him to become the disliked person, so he came to give advice to him. The Marley ghost said to him that 3 ghosts would appear and advise. They were the ghost which taught Scrooge’s past and now and future. One night, the ghost of past Christmas appeared. He took Scrooge his past and showed. Scrooge knew some truths that a boy who had visited was very lonely or a girl who was his friend might die in the future, which were made him really sad. Scrooge wanted to change himself. The next night, the ghost of Christmas Now appeared and he let Scrooge understand how he was thought by everyone. Scrooge regretted so much. He saw the last ghost of future Christmas and he understood he had been spending an unhappy life and wanted to be loved by everyone. Then he was in his room. He had a good idea to help some poor people which he saw in the incidents. First he decided to give one thing for people, but he didn’t want to be know his name, so he asked a boy to bring it to a place which he asked. Also Scrooge became kind person.
I love this story because it was very happy in the end of it. Scrooge give some people needed thing and he became to think about everyone’s happiness. [319 words]

I heard an interesting story from my brother today and I want to tell the story.

Some days ago, My brother and his friends tried to eat 100 hamburgers at MacDonald with 7 people! They ordered 3 kinds of hamburgers, which were Mac chicken and Mac pork and hamburger. However, it took about 30 minuets to serve 100 hamburgers. They started to eat at 11:30 am. However, they couldn't eat almost of them. The boy eating most of hamburgers ate about 7 hamburgers. I think it is awesome!

And also, my brother said they will try to eat 100 snacks next. I cannot do these things if my friends supposed to me to try to eat. Have you ever tried something impossible? [122 words]

At the festivel

I took a volunteer work, which was a help for the festival of Human Network which was the company of social welfare. The festival was held yesterday and people lived near there came to enjoy. I worked a game shop with my friend. Children often took a game, and we got a good relationship soon. We talked much and enjoyed. They talked to me, "Look! I got many goods at the game!" and also, a boy asked me which super ball I wanted. And I chose one, he gave me it. A girl was good at pantomime and she showed me it. Also, a Clown who was good at pantomime appeared and he let us very fun. The girl had him learn some pantomime, and she showed it to us. It was cool! On the other hand, a boy disliked the Clown and he ran away from him when he approached. However he seemed to enjoy it. Then, a little girl said there was a rainbow in the sky, so we looked at the sky and fined it. We wondered why there was a rainbow though it was not rain that day. Then a boy said "I know! I have read a book about it." We nodded to him and I thought he was a wise boy. I had a good time with them that day. [226 words]

Book Review 7

The book is The Railway Children. One the Peter's birthday, mans took their father away and he didn't come back home or call to them. The three children were anxious about their father, but their mother never talked about it. The children and their mother lost their house and moved to the countryside. The children always shook a handkerchief when a train passed, then a man who was a passenger replayed to it. They were so poor that they couldn't afford to buy things they needed. One cold day, Peter tried to steal coals, but he was seen a man and apologized. Then, their mother had sick, so they write a letter to a man they always shook a handkerchief to have him help. He accepted their request and gave things they needed and their mother recovered. One day, they saw the land fall down on the rail way. If a train came, it may have a big accident, so they managed to inform the danger. They had each red flag which they made and shook it when a train came, and it worked. They awarded a prize from the Railway Company. One the other hand, they knew their father had arrested and shocked. The long times passing, Bobbie wrote a letter to the man, which was written about her father because she really missed him. She was not happy on her birthday because her father was not there. When she went to the station, she had a wonderful surprise there. She saw her father get out because the old man got a letter from her and catch the real spy. The family met again and they were really happy.

I thought the three children was so patient and distinguished person because they thought many good ways when they had some troubles or needed a help. Also, their father disappeared and they were sad. I can't bear it if I were in the situation. However, I was glad they met their father again and he was not a spy. [339 wrods]

Trip to Fukuoka

My brother and I went to Fukuoka together. We just wanted to go there because we had not been for a while, so we had no plan that where we go or what we do. We left to Fukuoka by bus in the morning, and it took a few hours than usual because the road was busy. Then we arrived at Tenjin at noon, we decided to go to Fukuoka tower first and got on a bus. We upped a high place of the tower by elevator, and the view which we could see from there was so beautiful! The under picture was taken there. We enjoyed watching the view. We found Omikuji there. If you upped to Fukuoka tower, why don't you try it? And also, you can buy a key ring which you can make to put your name, and it was original design of the town. And, there was a printer which printed a newspaper which was published when you were born. I think it is fun! Then, we had a lunch near there and we went to Yahoo dome next. Something wasn't held that day, but we walked around the dome and found a lovely thing. This is the above picture's one. It is very cute, isn't it? It is a soft bank's character which is called "Otosan", which wore the uniform. It was placed in front of a shop where soft bank team's goods were sold. And next, we went to Marinoa City, where we could enjoy shopping and also there were two Ferris Wheels. We enjoyed shopping. Some cloths was down their cost in this season, so it was good time to buy. I found a cute accessory at shop and bought it, which is my favorite accessory now. At evening, we went back home.

Cars

This movie is about friendships. Having many friends is very good and trusting them is very important. Everyone advises when their friends have some problems because they hope for their friends' success. Counting on friends makes good relationship.

The main character is McQueen, who is proud of himself and he doesn't accept any advice. He didn't have his true friends because he was selfish. He also had not counted on his friends before, but he found it was very important. Mater is an easygoing car and he is honest. He is good at driving backwards and also like make mischief. Doc was a calm car. He has won a car race and was famous before. He was anxious about McQueen and gave him some advice. Sally is good at leading her friends and she cherishes them too. She was very popular in the town and was liked by everyone.

At the beginning of the movie, McQueen left to take part in a final car race with Mac who was a trailer. At night, Mac was very sleepy and drove falling asleep. Then bad cars made fun of Mac, so Mac and McQueen were separated. When McQueen woke up, he was on the road and noticed that he lost Mac, so he searched for Mac. Then, he arrived at a town which was quiet. He broke the road in the town when he arrived there, so he was required to mend the road. At first, he thought only mending the road as fast as possible. However, McQueen worked hard to leave the town and take part in the race, also he had a lot of good friends there and he changed from what he used to be.

The climax of the movie was very emotional. McQueen took part in the car race to which his friends came to help and cheer him on. McQueen counted on his friends when he had some troubles this time. He had his friends teach important things for him which he hadn't known. Before McQueen reached the goal, another car had an accident and he couldn't move by himself. So McQueen didn't reach the goal and he ran to the car and helped him because he remembered a Doc's phrase. His behavior was admired by everyone.

I like the movie because McQueen improved himself to meet a lot of fellows. It was very emotional that he helped his opponent in spite of his losing. I thought it was wonderful to have good friends. [417 words]

Billiards

I joined a club activity today. It was a first activity after the seniors retired and it had become our turn to support the club. We enjoyed played boring at Supora first. We separated 9 teams and played boring. There were 4 members in my team, and they were good at boring than me! After that, one of my friend and our junior and me played billiards together. But we didn't know the rule well. So we made our rule and played it. However it was very fun! Being hit the boll to another ball was so difficult for us! I took mistakes many times. Also, it was so cool that one of our seniors was playing it! He was good at playing. [123 words]

Book Review 6

I read the book whose title was Amanda Pig and the Awful, Scary Monster. About this story, Amanda felt there was a ghost in the night. First, she felt a ghost was in the back yard, but it was just a bush. It looked like a ghost for her. Next, she felt there was a ghost in her room when she was going to bed. However, there was no ghost or someone. She was scared and called her parents. She was so be scared that her brother supposed an idea, and they built an toy tower in front of the door and put toys beside a window. Althought she was scared, she thought there was no ghost. She wanted to call her parents, but it would make them worry, she thought. So she stood and ran to her parents' room and stopped in front of the door, and she fell asleep there. However, she had an courage and didn't be scared a ghost.

As a child, we can seem something as a ghost in the night. I understand very much and remembered my childhood. But, I think it is not only child because we seem something as a ghost when we heared a ghost story or thought about it. Anyway, I like Amanda's brother's behavior because he is enough kind to care for Amanda. [223 words]
