All about my keitai

My keitai is au, and it color is orange. When I was a high school student, I had a keitai for the first time. I exchanged e-mail address many friends, and I sent some e-mail. I enjoyed sending e-mail. In dose days, I only used function of e-mail, but now I use many function of keitai. For example, I use an alarm, a calculator and Internet etc. I especially use Internet, because my keitai has function of listening to music, so I can take some music in my keitai. I listen to music almost everyday with it. I like keitai, I use it so many time in a day. Many people too. But I think some people should obey the rules of using a keitai. A keitai is very useful item, but if we don’t obey the rules, it becomes not good item I think.

BR 1-06: Shooting Stars

I read "Shooting Stars" today. Main characters of a book were Lisa and Alice. They are friends. They went to an Island by a plane. In the plane, they watched a film. Lisa likes film star whose name is Matt Lepardi. Matt Lepardi loves Cloudia Carman. She is famous film star too.

They arrived the Hotel Oracle. The hotel was very nice! They enjoyed swimming and eating and so on. One day they heard a information about Matt Lepardi and Cloudia Carman. They appear to stay near the Lisa and Alice's hotel! So, they may meet Matt and Cloudia!!

Alice went to shopping for buying some postcards and souvenirs. But Lisa didn't go shopping, because her hair was wet. So, she sat on the balcony. Then she saw two people. The two people were Matt Lepardi and Cloudia Carman! Cloudia was quarrel with Matt. Lisa thought that Matt is very angry. They went into their room. Cloudia took a gun from her bag, and she shot it!! Matt fell down.

Lisa saw everything, she went to the Hotel Oracle's restaurant to ask for help. Then, two people called Lisa. They are Matt and Cloudia! They are film star, so they were practicing performance on their room. Lisa felt relief at the news, and Matt, Cloudia and Lisa talked about something. Lisa had a very very good time!!

I thought that the story is suspense when I read the first half of it. Because I thought Matt died when Cloudia shot a gun. But it was performance, so I felt relieved.

Using the computer, good points and bad points

I think that the computer is very useful, because we can do a lot of things with the computer. For example, we can write a sentence, use the Internet, listen to music and watch the television and so on. Actually, I use the Internet many times and I get some information. But I think that the computer has a not only good point but also bad point. But point is the computer has too many function. So some people don’t like using it. I usually think the computer is useful, but I want it to become more easy to use.

BR 1-05: The Lucky Whale

I read 'The Lucky Whale', so I introduce the book this time.

One day, Troy and Roy discovered a whale on the beach. The whale couldn't move on there. Two sons told their parents about that, and their father ran outside. "We need help," he said, "If we don't get help, the whale will die".

Two sons and their parents wanted to help the whale, but it was too big for their. So their mother said that she will get some people to join us. And two sons ran to get the buckets and spades, their father ran down to the beach.

The whale was very hot, so father and sons put the water on the whale for lower temperature. Then mother came to the beach with a lot of people. Everyone had buckets and spades, so they dug a trench. Because they had to lower the whale's body temperature, and keep cool.

Then everyone heard a noise. The noise was Jim's digger. Jim dug a trench with his digger and the water flowed into the trench! So the whale's body temperature went down.

Next, father put the big rope around the whale's tail, and Jim's digger pulled it. Then the whale could go back in the sea. Everyone saw the whale off. The whale seemed to be happy.

YL of this book was 0.6, so it was written in easy English and very easy to read.

I have watched a news that a whale was thrown on the beach few times. I like whale, but I probably can't approach it. Because a whale is too big, so I am going to feel that it is scary. I thought two boys and their parents are very brave! And I thought the story warms my heart.
