Book review1-12 APOLLO13

I found this book in the school library. I have known the name of APOLLO13 but I knew nothing about it; I knew only that it was a name of space shuttle. Therefore, I chose this book to know about it. Apollo is one of the space shuttle of America. It was launched to moon, but the gas explosion happened on the way to the moon. Despite the difficulties, the space shuttle landed on the moon and they could come back to the earth safely. Because of this trouble, NASA stopped to use the number 13 for space shuttle. Before I read this book, I thought APOLLO13 could not come back to the earth. But they could be successful in landing on the moon and come back, so I was happy to know that. The upper thing is a patch of Apollo13. I want to watch the movie someday.

Book review1-7 About a boy

I have known the title of this book because this novel was made into a movie in 2002. I have wanted to watch this movie because I like a romantic comedy story, but I have missed the opportunity to watch. One day I found this book in the library and I was attractive by the book cover, so I thought “It’s time to read!” And I thought this book is easy to read. So I chose this book to read.

There are two main characteres in this book, Will and Marcus. Will is thirty- six years old but he had never had a job in his life because his father had written a very successful Chirstmas song. So since his death, the royalties have come to Will and he has not to work by himself. He wants to keep his life simple so he never involves with people deeply. Marcus is twelve years old and he lives with his mother. He has serious problem about his mother. Both of them have a problems about their life. One day, they meet each other. At first, they dislike each other, but they gradually understand together through the many things.

I thought this is love story but in fact, it was about the interaction of two men. I like the process that Will and Marcus understand each other. After reading this book, I want to watch the movie.

Book review1-6 The Luck of Roaring Camp and other stories

I found this book in this school library. First, I was interested in the old man in the cover of this book. I liked his atmosphere, so I chose this book to read. I thought that this book is long story but in fact, it has a three short stories. Therefore I enjoyed reading this book very much. There are three different stories in this book. I think the first story is the best. The first story-The Luck of Roaring Camp- is about life in California when many people went west. They wanted to find gold and be rich so they went west. The Roaring Camp is one of the name of the camp for the people. One day, a by is born in the camp but his other died soon. Therefore, men take care of the baby and the baby whose name is Luck bring many good lucks to them. It was very interesting because strong men take care of the baby. Other two stories, Miss Mullins of the Sierras and A portrait of Jack Hamlin are also strange and interesting stories.

Book review1-5 THE PHONE RING

I was interested in the cover of this book. When I saw the cover, I thought that this was a detective story but it was a love story. I enjoyed reading this book bacause the main character is very fun.

By using cell phone, he gets thinformation about her, for example, interests and favorite thing. So he try to become a man she like. After all, she also taked a shine to him so they could get friendly.

After I read this book, I look up with him because he did his best to become friend with her. If I were in his place, I would not do that things.

Book review1-4 E.T.THE EXTRA TERRESTRIAL

I watched this movie when I was very little so I don't remember the story well. Therefore, I chose this book to understand the story well.

They harbor E.T from the adult and they try to get E.T to go back to his planet. I think that E.T is a heartwarming adventure movie. So this movie has been popular for a long time. E.T's appearance is a little strange but I gradually liked it. I think he is cute. I want to watch this movie again.

About next class

On 24 July, we will have a final exam; conversation test with 1st grade students. We will talk about some things and our treasure but I haven't decided it yet. I cannot find my treasure yet. So I think that it is a good opportunity to find my treasure. Maybe, I will be nervous but I want to enjoy talking with my partners. I hope that we can have a good time together.

Book review1-3 Two boyfreinds

I read Two boyfriends. This book is written about a girl who tries to two-timing. A girl whose name is Anna has a boyfriend but she think that he is very boring. Then, she tries to get another new boyfriend. However, after all, she lost both boyfriends. I think that two-timing is not good thing. As I read this book, I already anticipated that she lost her boyfriends. I think that Anna is a stupid girl.

Book review1-2 SUPERMODELS

I found this book SUPERMODELS in the school library. I like watching beautiful people so I chose this book to read. This book was written by Vicky Shipton who studied fashion when she was younger. It is said that in this book that she wrote this book because she was interested in the world of fashion.
In this book, many famous supermodels are introduced. For example, Kate Moss, Tyra Banks and Cindy Crawford. Of course, there are some supermodels who I don't know but I could enjoy reading this. Because it is written not only the profile of them but also the seamy side of world of the models.
I want to introduce a supermodel in this book. That is Tyra Banks. She was born in Los Angeles, California in 1973. Her first year as model in L.A was not so smooth but, after she went to Paris her work gradually got on the right track. And now, she shines with many things like singer and producer of the TV show. Tyra is important to many African-American women because she was the first black model on the covers of famous magazines like GQ, Sports illustrated, and Victoria's Secret. I have known her because I have watched her TV show, American's Next Top Model. Tyra is the exective producer of this TV show. I love this TV show so I was very happy when I found her in this book.
I think many people can enjoy reading this book even if there are people who are not interested in fashion or modeling.

My favorite things

I have many favorite things. Firast of all, I will write about movie. I have watched many movies since I was child and most of them were foreign movies, because my parents watched them a lot. I watched few Japanese movies. I have many favorite movies but the best movie for me is The Rock and FINDING FORRESTER. The Rock is action film. I have watched it so many times but I never tired of it. Every time I watch it, I am always very exciting. I'm sure that I will watch this movie forever. FINDING FORRESTER is human drama. I watched this movie last year for the first time but I became a big fan of this movie soon. After watching this movie, I feel myself refreshed and it is very interesting. While I want many people to watch this movie, I don't want to tell this movie to people. These two movie are the exact opposite but both are my favorite movie. In additon to this, My favorite actor is Sean Connery. He appears on above my favorite movies. He already retired in 2006 but I still love him. He had appeared on so many movies. I have not watched the whole of his movie yet but I will watch all of them someday.

After the class --part of the body--

In last class, I talked about part of the body with my friends. I found that many of them always sleep on their back and I always sleep on my back,too. I have not broken my bone but one of my friends broke her bone three times. I was very surprised to hear that. Breaking bone must be very painful so I never want to break my bone!

About part of the body

When I was a child, I thought that my neck was so long so I had a complex about it. However now, I don't think so. I don't like my low nose too, I want a little higher nose if it is possible.
Talking of the body, I'm always thinking about diet. Especially, I want to lose my thigh's weight. After graduating from high school, I do not exercise regulary so my weight has continue to increase. Once or twice a year, I start diet with my mother. We walk to lose our weight at night in spring and autum because it is confortable season to walk. However, we always fail in it. I love eating so I cannot skip my meals. I cannot lose my weight easily but I try to do that to make my body slim!!
