LITTLE BEAR'S VISIT

One spring day, when Mother Bear was little, she found a baby robin in the garden. A baby robin, too little to fly. "Oh, how sweet you are," she said. "Where did you come from?" "From my nest," said the robin. "And where is your nest, little robin?" asked mother bear. "I think it is up there," said the robin. No, that was a bluebird's nest. "Maybe it is over there," said the robin. No, that was an oriole's nest. Mother Bear looked all over, but could not find a robin's nest. "You can live with me," she said. "You can be my robin."

I read this book today. This book written about little bear. One day, the little bear visit to the his grandfather and grandmother bear. The little bear liked to look at all the nice things, the pictures, grandmother's flowers, grandfather's toy goblin that jumped up and down in a jar. And he likes stories that his grandfather and grandmother speaks. Especially, I like "Mother bear's robin" story. This story about mother bear. One spring day, she found the baby robin and she raised it. The robin grew up greatly by mother bear. But the robin must return naturally. The robin promised to come back to mothe bear's house every year though mother bear and the robin felt sorry. The robin came back. And its children came back. And its children's children...! I became very warm feelings reading this book ^^*!!

Christmas song♪＊

Last Monday, I attended the speaking class. We did the dictation of the Christmas song. I was glad because either songs were my favorite songs^^!! It is the answer.

Last Christmas
Last Christmas I gave you my heart but the very next day you gave it away
This year to save me from tears I'll give it to someone special
Chorus
Once bitten and twice shy
I keep my distance, But you still catch my eye
Tell me baby, Do you recognise me?
Well, It's been a year
It doesn't me
Happy Christmas, I wrapped it up and sent it
With a note saying "I love you"
I meant it, Now I know what a fool I've been
But if you kissed me now, I know you'd fool me again
Chorus
A crowded room, Friends with tired eyes
I'm hiding from you, And your soul of ice
My God I thought you were
Someone to rely on me?I guess I was a shoulder to cry on
A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
A man under cover but you tore me apart
Now I've found a real love you'll never fool me again

All I want for Christmas is you
I don't want a lot for Christmas There's just one thing I need
I don't care about presents Underneath the Christmas tree
I just want you for my own More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true All I want for christmas is You
I don't want a lot for Christmas There's just one thing I need
I don't care about presents Underneath the Christmas tree
I don't need to hang my stocking There upon the fireplace
Santa Claus won't make me happy with a toy on Christmas day
I just want you for my own More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true All I want for Christmas is you
I won't ask for much this Christmas I don't even wish for snow
I'm just gonna keep on waiting Underneath the mistletoe
I won't make a list and send it To the North Pole for Saint Nick
I won't even stay awake to Hear those magic reindeer click
'Cause I just want you here tonight Holding on to me so tight
What more can I do Baby all I want for Christmas is you
All the lights are shining So brightly everywhere
And the sound of Childlen's Laughter fills the air
And everyone is singing I hear those sleigh bells ringing
Santa won't you bring me the one I really need
Won't you please bring my baby to me...
Oh I don't want a lot for Christmas This is all I'm asking for
I just want tosee my baby Standing right outside my door
Oh I just want you for my own More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true Baby all I want for Christmas is you

I recommend these songs^^♪

Reading question part2 (^皿^)

I made reading question part2^^ Let's try!!

Aum trials ‘a starting point’ for ‘1Q84’
On the occasion of his first full-length novel in seven years, novelist Haruki Murakami has said he was motivated to pen the story after having repeatedly imagined the state of minds of former Aum Supreme Truth cult members who are now on death row.
Murakami spoke to The Yomiuri Shimbun in Tokyo earlier this month, his first interview since the two-volume book “1Q84” (ichi-kew-hachi-yon) was published late last month.
“I attended as many hearings [of Aum trials] at the Tokyo district and high courts as I could,” he said. “At that time I imagined the terror of being left alone on the other side of the moon where a Joe Blow unwittingly commits a felonious crime and ends up becoming a death row convict.
“I considered for years the meaning of this. This served as a starting point for my story,” he said.
Murakami explained how he became interested in Aum incidents as follows:”the series of incidents involving Aum followers made us seriously question just what the definition of ‘ethical’ should be in contemporary society.”
“I started following Aum matters so I could reassess the current situation from the viewpoints of good and evil,” he continued.
Meanwhile, as another motivation for writing the book, the author said, “I thought it necessary to ponder what path our generation has followed since the later half of the 1960s.” (226 words)

Reading Question(^皿^)

Yesterday, I attended Reading class and we did Reading question which made by students! This question made by me. Let's try^^!

Ichiro extends streak to team-record 26
SEATTLE (AP) –Ichiro Suzuki set a Mariners record by hitting safely in his 26th consecutive game on Tuesday night.
The eight-time All-Star chopped the third pitch of the game from Baltimore Orioles rookie David Hernandez to the right of shortstop Cesar Izturis. Izturis’ rushed throw pulled first baseman Ty Wigginton off the bag, but Suzuki had already beaten the toss.
Some in the crowd of 17,978 gave him a standing ovation as his record was announced. The 35-year-old remained stoic while standing on first base.
“I got this far, so I wanted to achieve it,” he said through an interpreter after Seattle beat Baltimore 8-2. “I also wished I would have asked my wife Yumiko and my dog to come to the game.
“Then again, if I didn’t invite them, that probably shows you how much the record meant to me.”
He then whipped out a green fan with his dog Ikkyu’s likeness on both sides.
This is his seventh hitting streak of at least 20 games since the five-time major league hits leader arrived in Seattle for the 2001 season. That ties him with George Sisler for the fourth most 20-plus game hitting streaks. Willie keeler, Ty cobb and Pete Rose had eight.
Asked what he thought of still being less than halfway to Joe DiMarrio’s major league record hitting streak of 56 consecutive games set in 1941, Suzuki said, “It’s true when they say it’s the hardest record to break”

Essay #1 My favorite movie LAST

My favorite movie is “I just love you”, The Japanese title is “tada kimi wo aishiteru”. This movie showed in autumn 2006. The showing time is 116 minutes. This movie's director is Takehiko Shinjou. He is the director of “boku no hatsukoi wo kimi ni sasagu” this movie will be released this autumn and I'm looking forward to watch this movie very much. This movie's original title is “Ren'ai shashin mouhitotsu no monogatari” written by Takuji Ichikawa. I was impressed by this book too. He is one of the very famous authors in Japan that he is writer of famous movie “Ima aini ikimasu” in Japan.

This movie’s theme song is "Ren’ai shashin" sung by Ai Ootsuka. She is the artist who is very famous in Japan. She sings a ballad and a love song mainly. This song is the masterpiece of her ballad too. This song matches the image of this movie very much. And this movie’s tentative title is "Heavenly forest - tengoku no mori de kimi wo omou", but this movie’s title became "tada kimi wo aisiteru" with the text of this song as a hint! I remember a movie whenever I listen this song.

Not only Japan but also U.S.A. was used as a location of this movie. The scenery used for this movie is beautiful. Especially, “Heavenly forest” which becomes the theme of this movie is that nature overflows and very beautiful. I was pleased to watch this movie.

This movie’s actor and actress are Hiroshi Tamaki and Aoi Miyazaki. They are main actors in this movie. Meisa Kuroki and Keisuke Koide also appear. Mrs. Miyazaki is very cute and she is high ability actress. In this movie, the evaluation of Mrs. Miyazaki was high. Of course, she is one of my favorite actors. Mr. Tamaki performed Makoto and Mrs. Miyazaki performed Shizuru in this movie. Her fashion is also cute. They met at the entrance ceremony of the university and they became friends. Shizuru has a camera which is a hobby of Makoto because she wanted to be with Makoto. They became close friends and they took a photograph together.

THE STORY OF FOOTBALL

In the 19th century, smallar teams of boys began to play football in schools throughout Britain. Teachers hoped the game would teach them strength, courage and how to work as a team. Football now moved from the streets to special school playing fields known as pitches. Each pitch had goalmouths at either end for the teams to score. There were still no set rules, though. Each school simply made up their own. Some allowed players to trip each other up. Some allowed them to kick each other in the shins. And others even let them pick the ball up and run with it.

I like soccer very much. There are some story written about football in this book. For example rules, matches and even the American football!!

Beauty tiptoed down a long and dusty corridor until she found an open door. It led into a sweet-smelling garden. But as soon as Beauty stepped into the sunlight...she heard a terrible growl. "What are you doing here?" roared the Beast. "I'm B-b-beauty, Pierre's daughter," she stammered. "He sent you to die, did he?" the Beast growled. "Coward!" "Don't say that!" said Beauty. She was so angry she forgot her fear and glared at the Beast.
