BOOK14 The Hunchback of Notre Dame

This story was made into an animated movie of Disney. I thought that I tried to read this book of " The Hunchback of Notre-Dame " because I haven't ever watched this movie.
A boy named Quasimodo has been placed in confinement in the Cathedral of Notre-Dome because the people of Paris said his face is because the people of Paris said his face is ugly. He can't hear so nobody talks to him because nobady goes near him. But Quasimodo has a gentle heart. A festive day, he plucked up his courage and escaped out of the Cathedral Quasimodo has no friends, and he has never known love, but today he is kind. Quasimodo was in love with Esmeralda. But she didn't was in love with him. Florian Barbedienne is an unusual judge but he cannot hear not even the bells of Notre-Dome. He hated gypsy, and he continues saying Quasimodo. It is all evil besides himself. He was utterly captivated by her beauty, too.
I couldn't expected the last scene. Eventually, Quasimodo and Esmeralda didn't get married. Esmeralda chose Phoebus who is a brave soldier. This story brought tears to my eyes because I knew that Quasimoto has a beautiful wind and he loved her so much. This story gave me a courage and deep emotion. I think I'd like to watch the movie of " The Hunchbank of Notre-Dome 2 " if I have a chance.

BOOK13 Give us Money


Befoe I ead this book, I thought this book may be an exciting story. I read the book of " Give us the Money " . In Adam's dream he became James Bond. In that morning, it was a nice dream for him. Adam wanted to be James Bond. Every day is the same. Mrs. B said to Adam what is the same story every morning. He downcasted. Nothing exciting ever happens to him. But, the day wasn't the same. He helped a woman named Serens because some men want to take her bag. But, she didn't thanks Adam for his help. She thought there were newspaper in the rucksank but there were a lot of money!! Three men wanted the money ran after Adam and the women. Adam and Srena saw that they have get the wrong blog. Sarena used a watergun to stop one of the thieves. Police came there soon and the thieves was caught. I thought he might be suprised then.

I like

BOOK12 ANIMALS IN DANGER

I read this book of " Animals in danger " because I like animals. In Kumamoto, there is the park of plants and animals. And, there are rate monkeys. It is a sort of KINSHIKOU and there are only them in Japan. I suprised there are more than thirty millions spacies of animal in the world. Every year, cities, factories and pollution and more increase than land. If land disappear more and more, some spacies of animal disappear because animals livein land. Some visitor to new places take pictures of animals but other visitor go there to hurt and kill them. I can't forgive people for killing many animals because animals isn't bad. 73 persent of the big animals in North America and 80 persent in South America disappeared. People can kill elephants, rhinocerous and other anomals for money. Some dolphins live in rivers and some live in the sea. But. they didn't change their behaviour after the big ships came and the river got dirty. We have to protect the nature and land to protect animals and bird. I think many people can go something of a small way. I have a cat named MIKO in my house. She alternates atripes of black and gray. She is very wise and loved by my family. I want to take good care of my cat hard with my family.
                                                                                                                            This is a KINSHIKOU

Kumamoto


There are a lot of places to visit. In Kumamoto, the place I recommend is the Kumamoto castle. It was built by Kiyomasa Katou in 1608. I thought it had a long history. I went to go there with my family when I was a child. I thought Kumamoto castle is very big!!! They wew put a beautiful stone around the Kumamoto castle. It is said the famous castle of three in Japan is Nagoya castle and Osaka castle, Kumamoto castle. I want to go other castle some time.
There is a proppessional succor team in Kumamoto. It is the Rosso Kumamoto. Though I don't know so much about soccur, I want to support them to join the J-league.
I like watching TV so much. The television station in Kumamoto are KKT and TKU. The program I recommend in TKU is WAKATTOLAND. THis program is event for the high school student and often see having a interview in the city. When I want to buy the clothes, I go to TSURUYA and PARUKO. There is a Disney shop in TSURUYA. I like the disney goods and often buy the note and the towel and so on.
There are many cheap shop in PARUKO. Ot is good for students because students have little money^^:
I want to know about interesting spots in Kumamoto. I like Kumamoto☆★

BOOK11 Seasons and Celebrations

The Japanese like a festival such as national holiday. I think many people work and study hard for native holiday. I like holidays, too. I often go to shopping and Karaoke with my friends while a holiday.
There are all important days in English-speaking countries such as British, Canada and the USA. Times change, and festivals chage, too. New York's Eve is on 31 December, the last day before the New York begins. Just before midnight, people look at the clock, and they count the last sen seconds and they stand in a circle, join hands and sing an old. On the New Year, I spend with my family or my friend and I go to paying homage at shine. The first time people see friend, we say " A happy new year!! " . On the New Year holiday, many people go to shopping because things are cheaper than before Christmas. So, it is a good time for the people want to buy winter clothes to go shopping then.
Valentine's Day started over two thousand year ago. On the Valentine's day in Japan, a girl gave a boy chocolates or the gift. The boy give something in return. It is called the white day. I didn't know that the Valentine's day is a day of couple. On the Valentine's day, a man will perhaps give his girlfriend or wife red rose. I didn't know about Easter because there isn't Easter in Japan. Easter is a festival that celeblate the revival of Chist. I knew religion was cherished. My favorite season is winter because there are meny festivals and my birthday is winter, too. If my birthday become a holiday, I'm very very happy^-^!!!!!

I went to the police station soon to report the lost of my wallet. After few days, my wallet was found by a polise man but there is no money in my wallet. Though there is no money, I was very happy because I cherished my wallet.

Nicky started to run because he had to find Aunt Carrie, or the strange Mrs Minerva before the police catched him. It's such as his dream. He often had that the meaning of his lost then. His bad dream was ending happily.

BOOK9 KIng Arthur

I read the book of " King Arthur " because I like reading the book of history. It is the year 650 in England. There was no king and people were fighting. One night, Malin who was a magician looked for a wonderful king named Arthur because he had dream. A boy he found was very young. I thought everyone felt anxious because Arthur was young. Arthur met a girl named Ginevere. He wanted to marry her but Marlin didn't agree because Arthur to the magic sword and disappeared because he lost his magic power. I felt sad because Arthur respected him. Three weeks later, Arthur married Guinevere. I thought he felt very happy because he want to marry her so much. He looked for the best knight. It was Lancelot and he was the strongest man. They don't know whether King Arthur exist really. This book is good to read with pictures.

BOOK8 Sally's Phone 


I read the book of " SALLY's Phone " . Now, many people have a cellphone for speaking and sending an e-mail. Children have a cellphone, too. A cellphone is the important means of communication for us. But using a cellphone induce criminal behavior.
Sally always has her phone. She talks on her phone all the time : at home, on the train beside a tunnel, at her work. I thought Sally was similar to me because I always have my phone but I hardly talk on my phone.
On one afternoon, Sally is in a cafe to meet Andrew who is her boyfriend. Sally sat side by Paul then. She picks up her bag and her phone and goes back to her bag and her phone and goes back to work.
Suddenly, she noticed that she has a different phone. A phone she was having was Paul's phone!!
I thought this book was very interrestiong.

BOOK7 Leonardo Dicaprio

I read the book of " Lepnardo dicaprio " because he is a my favorite actor. I watched the video of " Romeo nad Juliet " and " TITANIC " . He looks good so much. Many girls like him, too. I thought I want to know about his history and story.
His blue eyes are famous and make an impression. He lived Hollywood with his mother but there were bad streets there. So, Leo and his mother moved a new house. His first time on TV was at five years old. I didn't know he had an actor's brother who named Adam Starr. I want to watch the movie he appears. Leo wanted to act, too but is was difficult because a lot of people wanted to act. I suprised Leo didn't want the part of Romeo at first when Luhmann who is a direstor said Leo he wanted Leo for Romeo.

In this book, There were many suprised story I didn't know. This book is easy to read bcause it is very short. If I can become a movie star, I want to be a actor of action like a Angeline Jolie because she is very cool in the movie of " TOMB RAIDER " .

Collaborative essay

Christmas is drawing near and we can see illumination decorated with shining the light bulb in town. Some people illuminate in their house because viewer is delighted to see then. Incidentally, do you know the origin of "illumination"? It is said to be handed down by Thomas Alvw Edison who called a king of invention. The following pictures and maps are some illumination spots we recommend here. By Aya Takayanagi & Aki Nishikido.

A woman wanted a baby. She knew the old woman who practices witchcraft. The old woman gave the flower to her. Whwn the flower opened, there was a baby girl whose name is Thumbelina. I think that a woman was surprised then. When Thumbelina was asleep in her flower, an old toad came and the toad said that he want her to marry his son. When she opened her eyes in the next morning, she cried and cried because she was on a big river and didn't want to live in the ugly toad's house.

BOOK3 TITANIC


I read the book of " TITANIC ". I watcher the movie, too. Many people die in a accident of this ship but there are passenger's stories. And, this is a story based on reality. The ship of TITANIC was 269 meters long. The ship could carry more than 3000 passenger, but it only had lifeboats for 1178 people because everyone thought that the ship was also very safe. More than 1500 of people died on the TITANIC. Moreover many people who died were in third class. The ship of Carpathia pickes up the suvivors when the TITANIC sank in the sea. I think that the survivors is very glad for the help of the ship of Caopathia. The TITANIC was called the " The ship of dreams " . I think it was called so because the TITANIC sank such as a dream really.

The movie I recommend is TAIYOU NO UTA. Yui is a young girl full of vigor and fond of playing the guitar. But she is affected with the major illness of skin. It's called XP (xeroderma pigmentsum) and the skin will get burned when she falls in love with a boy tanned. But she can only look out of the window because she can't step outside her house until the sun sets in. She goes to sing a song in a square after the sun sets. They happened to meet him. This is a moving love story and was dramatized for television.

BOOK2 Nightingale


I took the book because I thought that it was a story of Nightingale who is a nurse in English but my thought differed.


A Nightingale loved in a tree in the wood. It always sing a song. It's singing voice is beautifully. Some visitors who came to see the King said nothing is as beautiful as the nightingale's voice. The King found the book written " The palace of the King is beautiful. But nothing is as beautiful as the nightingale's voice " . He said that he want the nightingale to sing to me tonight. The servant looked for the nightingale and found a little girl who knew about the nightingale. The King and everybody cried because the nightingale sang beautifully. The nightingale voice consoled the King when he became illness. The nightingale voice gave everyone a feeling of happiness.


When I wae a child, my grandmother had little birds. we can always hear the bird voice and we felt so happy with hearing the bird voice and we felt so happy.

BOOK① The Ugly Ducking


I read the book of the ugly ducking. When I was only a little, my mother read it for me. I think that I want to read this book again because I was so glad then.

A mother duck lays egg but the leargest egg isn't open. An hour later, the big egg opened and the duck was bigger than other ducks and looks ugly. Other ducks said to their mother they don't want him near them because he is big and ugly. Their mother persuaded them he's a very good child. The mother duck said saidly "I want you to go away " and the ugly ducking ran out of the garden. He was very sad and he was alone.

I think that he feels sad because his appearance differ than other ducks. When he walked alone in a big field, he heard the gun sound and he was afraid. A big dog came near him. He thought that a dog may eat him because he is ugly. When he became big, he awsn't ugly. He became a beautiful white swan.
