Minnesota

I'm talking about my favorite place, Minnesota.

Lunch

Today I woke up very early time, at 6 o'clock because I made lunch for me and my older sister.

I have two reasons for making lunches. One, I have no money! I started my part-time job recently, so I have no money now. And second reason, my mom was on night duty. Everyday, my mom makes family's lunch. Thank you, my mom :) She makes family's lunch even she must wake up 5 o'clock to work. I have respect for her. When I become a mom, I'll make lunch for my family. But I want my husband to make dinner! Haha :D My parents work, so they are busy. But my family help each other. My dad usually wash our dishes, I and my older sister help them .... sometimes. I'm sorry, my mom and dad. But my family is friendly, so that's OK.

Anyway, weekend is gonna start from tomorrow! I'll work tomorrow. And on Sunday, I'll go Chara's show.

Dracula

I read this book, Dracula. This cover is soooooooooooo scary! But I wanted to read it because I didn't know this story very well.
Before I read the book, I had thought Dracula meaned vampire. But it's not true. Dracula is a man's name.

Count Dracula is a vampire in Transylvania. And a man whose name is Jonathan Harker went to him for his business. He didn't know Dracula was a vampire.

But after few days, he noticed his true character... so he tried escape. But Count Dracula went to London, and he sucked woman's blood, then she died. She was a friend of Jonathan. Jonathan, her boyfriend and Van Helsing who was a professor tried to kill Count Dracula.

This is Dracula's story. It was so scary story. But it was little bit exciting. And Jonathan was so cool! He fought with Dracula to help his love, Mina. I'm impressed by his strong love. Van Helsing was also cool! Although I have never watched a movie, Dracula, I have ever watched a movie, Van Helsing. On the movie, he was so cool! I hadn't known Van Helsing appeared in the book. So I was surprised, and I became more like him.

Halloween is coming, so I'm little bit scary if he comes to me!!! Don't appear!!!!!!!

Michael Sowa

Do you know Michael Sowa? He is a German painter. If you have watched a movie, Amelie, I think you have seen his paintings. On left picture, there are two paintings, a dog and a duck. These are his paintings, and these are so funny.

His paintigs have a skill all his own. These have some humor, some dark and... I can't say as words. But I like his paintings.


A first time I have seen his painting was few years ago. When I was a junior high, I read a book, ちいさなちいさな王様. Have you ever read it? Axel Hacke who is a German wrote the book, and a picture of cover is a Michael's painting. I think, after you saw the book cover, you'll not forget his paintings. His paintings have some power, but I don't know what's power.

When I see his paintings, I can relax. Why I don't know. His paintings lost strength and it's so humor, but sometimes, there are some sadness, darkness and so on there.
If you're interested in his paintings, please see many his pictures :) (180 words)

Have you ever watched it? This movie is about a pig, a spider and the friend's story. A girl, Farn is a daughter of farmer. One night, 11 piglets were born, but mother's milk were only 10, so one piglet, Wilber were going to be killed by the farmer. But Farn who were watching it stoped her father. And she said that she would bring up him. So she fed and took care of him. Few monthes later, her parents decided to give Wilber to uncle who lived in front of their house because Wilber became big, so they couldn't take care of him in their house. At first, she hated that thing, but she was a child, so she must follow her parent's advice. And Wilber started to life in uncle's pen. In there, many animals lived in. Sheep, two geese, a horse, few oxen, a rat and a spider whose name is Charlotte. This pen had looked dead before Wilber came, and they didn't like Charlot bacause they thought her as spooky and creepy. But Wilber did like her because she was a first feriend after coming there, and she was kind. One day, a rat said Wilber that if Christmas comes, he will be eaten. That's right. Uncle were going to eat him on Christmas. So he was very afraid of coming Christmas. Recently, animals were friendly in the pen. So they thought about how Wilber could see snow in winter that Christmas passed. And Charlotte writed words on her web. They thought these words made uncle not to eat a pig. Charlotte made them few times----

This is about Charlotte's Web story. This is a friendship movie. Wilber and Charlotte were difference kind of animls, of course, other his friends, too. But they worried about Wilber. They helped each other. If I became a mom, I'll have my daughter or son watch the movie. I like watching movies very much because I can see a lot of life ways on another points through movies. This movie can teach us what important friends are.

Assignment 2

In Minnesota, we can see many kinds of animals. Although Minnesota has big cities, nature is very close there. And Minnesota also has many lakes, so Minnesota is called the Land of 10,000 Lakes.  From the many lakes, a folk tale, Paul Bunyan Scenic Byway was born. This legend told people how lakes were born. It's a very interesting story.

MN is full of nature. On the other side, MN has big cities, St. Paul and Minneapolis. These are called twin cities. St. Paul is an older city than Minneapolis. These cities have high buildings and a famous church, Cathedral of Saint Paul. These cities have their histories. These both are pretty and exciting places.

Minnesotan people are called Minnesota Nice.

Thank you!!

I went to Minnesota in America for this month.

 

I learned many things in Minnesota. Icould not only study English but also learned new things. A living in America broadened my outlook.

 

In Minnesota, there are big cities, Saint Paul and Minneapolis. On the other side, there are many forests, lakes and so on near the cities. And in there, much kind of animals live in. I think it's so pretty.

 

And I got the impression that American spends many times for their selves. For example, they eat and read books outside and take a walk. In Minnesota,the sunset is late, so people can spend more time outside than Japanese. I love it!!

 

In Minnesota, many strangers spoke to me friendly. In Japan, such thing is rare. I thought it's so good because people can make friends with strangers.

 

My host family was so nice people. Especially, my three host sisters were so cute and good my little English teacheres. They taught me English and many games. I have no young sisters, so they were as if younger sisters. It was a valuable experience.

 

In this project, I have changed. Now, I can speak to people. Before, I couldn't because I didn't have any confidence in my English. But now, I try to speak to many people. Next, Ican have positive thinking now. In America, I lost confidence sometimes. Then I remembered my teacher's words "Just ONE MONTH. Do your best!!" So I could recover because I had positive thinking. At the end, I now want to study English more hard. Before, I studied English hard, but now, I realized I must study English more hard to be good at English.

 

In the month, I couldn't tell what I wanted to say because my Eglish skill was not enough. So I had regrets sometimes. This experience made me realize my poor English. So now, I want to study English more hard. And I want to visit Minnesota someday and talk with my host family.

 

This month was my precious time to change my life. Thank you for many people, my friends and my dad and mom.
