My favorite clothing

I am going to talk about my favorite clothing. I like clothing so much. When I go shopping, I can’t help buying cute clothing. Dress is the most favorite clothing of all. When I put on it, I feel good. I hear that many girls put on it when they go on a date. Dress is not only cute but also useful! It always encompasses my body! Especially in Winter, I often put on dress. Also, I use it when I go downtown with some of my friends to have dinner as many as we can. I think it makes girls more girly. But I had better not put on it often. If I do so, I will be likely to gain weight.

My favorite flower

I am going to talk about my favorite flower. Sunflower is the most favorite flower of all. I hate summer but I become happy to see it every summer. My parents like gardening so much and there are many kinds of flowers in the garden in my house. However there is no sunflower. So I really want them to grow it. When I was a primary school student, I grew it. I was very surprised that it grew taller than me! I heard that you can eat the seed but I have never done. If I have a chance, I really want to try to cook and eat it. Sunflower makes me cheer up every summer. I love it so much!

My favorite dish

I am going to talk about my favorite dish. I like many kinds of dishes, especially dishes made by my mother. I live in Yatsushiro and I have to get up at 6:30 every morning. My younger sister has to get up at 5:00 every morning. So my mother has to get up earlier than us. I have my mother make lunch every day. I really appreciate for her. She is good at cooking so much because she is a cook in the primary school. I am lucky because I can eat kyushoku as dinner. She knows how to cook kyushoku menu so I can ask her how to cook. Whenever I get home, I am so hungry that I like eating her dishes.

Introduction

The first episode of my podcast is available now.

I took the exam to study abroad and passed it. I will study in Canada next summer with Narisa. Saint Mary's university is where we will go. I was so happy because the university is our first choice. I have a lot of things I want to do. I want to go to Lady Gaga's, Justin Bieber's, Taylor Swift's concert, make a trip to other countries, see exchange students studied in KGU before. However I have little information now. I don't know what subject I should take, how I can somewhere, where the dorm I will live is and so on. We need a lot of information about the university so as to solve when not only I do something I want to do but also

I am in the trouble there. In this site, I introduce many things about Saint Mary's university. If you like, please check it.

What I'm planning to do today

Good morning everyone. I'm in the writhing class now. It is cool today. I like this weather so much. Today I'm going to the English Lounge at lunch time. I am a staff and I like being there. I like talking with people from other countries. They tell me many funny stories. By the way, I have 4 classes today. The next class is Politics. The teacher talk, talk and talk.haha The third class is Korean. The reason why I started to learn Korean is that exchange students from Korea came to my house to do a home stay in Spring. It was not until I met and became their friends that I became interested in Korean. Now I can speak easy phrases.haha Korean is my third foreign language so I have to learn much harder if I want to speak it fluently. The fourth class is speaking class. Mr Tomei gives us homework every week. Recording is one of the assignment and it is very interesting. I want to improve my English pronunciation by using it. Have a good day.

Beagle PATROL

Beagle PATROL
Rob Waring, Series Editor
Level 4

Beagle are dogs with an extremely powerful sense of smell. They often work at airports to find illegal or unsafe items. Before they can do the job, they must go through training. what does it take to be on the Beagle Patrol? What happens to dogs that don't make it?

When I finished reading this book, I remembered that I went to New Zealand. There were many dogs in Auckland airport. They were walking with policemen. They are so clever. It was not until I read this book that I learned what kinds of training dogs take. Dogs and people are the same because dogs like being told good and happy phrases. Dogs in the airport are not a pet but a partner. It is wonderful!!! When I go to a airport, I should not take something to eat because I may forfeit by dogs.haha

Blue Cows?

Bule Cows?
Rob Waring, Series Editor
Level 4

Farmers in India are having a serious problem. A local animal is eating their food. However, the farmers cannot hurt the animal because it has a special name. How can a name protect an animal? What will the farmers do?

I heard the name nilgai which means blue cow for the first time. It is interesting that nil means blue and gai means cow. It is very difficult for people and animals in India to live together happily. Agriculture is an important part of the economy. In Japan, some of animals have decreasing. Because people cut down trees, animals can live no longer and move somewhere or die. Every time I read or watch the news like the problem between people and animals, I think we can make ourselves understood to animals and understand what animals think.
