I have to prepare it. And I pray to my god not to be a stomachache. Haha.(89 words/8185 words)

Book review 1-9



I read "Remember Miranda". It is story about twisted love story.

Cathy is alone. Because her parents is died and she has no brother or sister. She wants to be happy. She undertook a job which is to do house work. The family members are Mrs. Harvey, Tim, Susan and Duncan. Duncan is Tim and Susan's father. He often goes to London because of his work. But his wife, Miranda is died before. This family has some secret.

Duncan went London. Cathy met Nick. Nick was nice to her. But Duncan and Nick hated each other. One day Cathy and Nick went to dinner. When Cathy arrived Harvey's house, Mrs. Harvey knew that Cathy and Nick went to dinner. She was angry. But Cathy could't understand it.

Duncan came home. One Friday Cathy drove away from Beach House past Nick's farm. Just then, she saw Nick's landrover. He was driving so fast. She was afraid of crashing against his car. The car stopped and Juliet got out Nick's landrover. Juliet is Miranda's sister. Juliet said Nick "Remember Miranda" Cathy didn't know relationship of Nick and Juliet. So Cathy was sorry about that.

Cathy went to library and searched about Miranda. She read newspaper of Miranda. But she didn't understand all. She only knew Miranda fell down the stairs and Duncan was questioned by the police.

Cathy phoned Nick to meet and ask about Miranda. Duncan also came later. Nick and Duncan quarreled about Miranda. In fact, Miranda loved Nick. Nick loved Miranda's sister Juliet.

Cathy came home with Duncan. Mrs. Harvey told them truth of Miranda. She was afraid of leaving Miranda from Duncan. So she pushed Miranda from stairs, but she didn't want Miranda death.

Secrets were confided. Cathy decided to live Duncan.



Sorry for bad review. It is difficult for me to describe this story this time.(309 words/8096 words)

Blink-182/All The Small Things



This is my favorite band, blink-182. This video is so funny. Because blink-182 members pretend to be back street boys!!! Have you ever seen BSB's "I Want It That Way"??? If you watch this video, you will understand what I saying. Blink-182 did good job. They pissed off BSB. I'm sorry for BSB fan. But I read Kerrang magazine. It said that. But I liked BSB. I met them, when I was junior high school student. BSB invited me American pop music. I was grateful that. But, my music taste changed. Now I really like rock music. Especially, punk rock is great. Blink-182 is the best!!!(106 words/7787 words)

Essay-5 (Worst Day In My Life)

I am thinking back when I was the worst. I think the worst day is when I fail the entrance examination of Hituyuyukan high school. I felt very sorry for my parents and blamed myself. My family didn’t show disappointed face, but I realize they wanted to cry. But I cried in my room. I have to tell my teacher the result of exam. I am also sorry for my teacher. I have no choice to go to Kokufu high school.

My high school life was so bad. I didn’t want to go to high school when I was high school student.Kokufu high school life was boring for me. And most of all students lack motivation. But I met great teacher in Kokufu and learned many things. Maybe I studied harder than now. I’m really appreciated my teacher. Thanks to him, I passed the entrance examination of KGU. And I also had to say thank you to my family for support me.

Now my life is happier than when I was a high school student. Because KGU students are very friendly, have high motivation to study English and there are no mathematics classes. I do dislike math. I made some good friends. They study English by way of speaking exchange some students. I respect them.

I learned three things from the worst day. First, I have to study harder. Second, I don’t want to regret in my life. Third, I realize my parents support. So I’ll do my best. And I make a good day everyday.(256 words/7488 words)

Essay-4 (Memorable Day in My Life)

I couldn’t forget the day, when I experienced the live show. It was last summer. I went to Summer Sonic in Osaka. It is one of the biggest rock festivals. That day I saw many bands and artist. I arrived at the place in ten o’clock. The show already started. There were six stages, food area and goods shop.

First I went to goods shop and saw T-shirts. But I couldn’t find good one. On the way I was through the main stage, The Puppets was singing. After that I experienced first live show. The band was The Academy Is. I knew only one song, but they were so powerful. It was absolutely better than CD. I knew that it was live.

I saw many bands after that. But the best live show on that day was Sum41’s show. I was impressed. Because I always listen to Sum41’s song and I knew a lot of song. And in front of me they were playing my favorite song. The audience sang, danced and jumped. I’ve never seen before such a scene. That day I had a very good time.

It was a memorable day in my life. That experience influences my music life. After that I became a rock geek. I go live show often. But when I go live show, I have to go other prefecture. Because the most of overseas bands don’t come to Kumamoto. It’s my worry. But I want to see live show. Live shows make me crazy and give a power. I get of my stress there. I was lucky. Because I met the live show at Summer Sonic.(273 words/7232 words)

Essay-3 (My Favorite Animal)

In fact, I can’t imagine favorite animal in real world. I’m a still stupid kid. I like SF movies. For example Star Wars and Nightmare Before Christmas. These movies have many original characters. In Star Wars, Most of all characters are alien. Nightmares before Christmas’s characters are ghost. I’m a Star Wars geek. So I can say many Star Wars character. When I was junior high school student, I wanted to appear Star Wars movie. Anyway, maybe I like creature. It’s difficult to choose one. But this time I will decide.


I like Ewoks. They appear Star Wars episode 6. And they really play an active. Ewoks are like a bear. So they are cute. They say “yau yau”. They live Endor forest. Endor is subtropical climate. And there was war, called the battle of Endor. Of course Ewoks fight with Jedi. They fight using a spear, stone and arrow. I think Ewok is wise. Ewok’s life is similar to the Stone Age.


The reason of I like Ewok are below. First, they are Star Wars character. Second they have cute eyes, hands and cry. Do you think of me? Am I stupid? But I am that guy. I said before “I like SF movies”. That’s it.


So I chose Ewok. If you like bear, you maybe like it. Before that, If you haven’t seen Star Wars, you should see right now. I recommend it. Many fantastic creatures appear in this movie. I hope you like it.(247 words/6959 words)

Essay-2 (My Treasure)

My treasure is my CD collection. I have over sixty CDs. I started to correct, when I was junior high school. Those days, I didn’t have enough money to buy CD. So I bought maybe only three CDs. I grew up and became a high school student. I had money more than when I was a junior high school student. I used to buy a CD in a month. And now, I buy CDs at least one in a month. Some time I buy five CDs in a month.


Why CD is my treasure? Because I like listening to music badly. Maybe I’m a geek of music especially America and British rock. Most of all my CDs are America and British rock music. I don’t like Japanese music. I don’t know why. I always listening some songs. “No Music, No Life” is true.


Now music is bought by down load from computer. I don’t like such a way. And I some time hear music illegality down load. We should not do it. We should respect musician and pay some money.


Exactly, CD is expensive and plastic is not ecology. But I like CD. CD includes booklet. It is written lyrics and some information. Especially Japanese edition includes translation and liner note. When I buy a CD, I look forward to reading liner note. It doesn’t with down load music. So I support CDs. I will keep on buying CD. I think it is one of my hobbies. I want more CDs. The aim is one thousand.(256 words/6712 words)
