Her album “ Under My Skin” was CD which I bought for the first time. I’m treasuring it now. I will love her forever.

As one of Japanese eating habits, there is habit of chopsticks. The Japanese usually uses chopsticks when we eat meals. Chopstick is 2 sticks, we catch food with it, and we eat food. It is difficult to use chopstick, there are many adults who can't use chopstick well. I think that it is shameful for adults to can't use shopstick well, so it should teach how to use chopstick well when we are child. Recently, western foods are often eaten in Japan, so chopstick isn't used much. But as it is good to use chopstick, I want to keep using chopstick.

BR 1-03: Noah's Ark Adventure

I read a book of the magic key series. The book's title is "Noah's Ark Adventure". This book was also story which the children adventure with magic key. It rained and rained in the real world. It rained all day long, so the children were fed up. The children went outside to play, but it was too wet to play because of raining. Dad looked out of the window, and he told them to come inside as it's too wet to play outside. The children went to Biff's room. Suddenly, the key began to glow. It was time for a magic adventure. They were looking forward to a magic adventure, because they were fed up with all the rain. The magic key took them into a new adventure, but it was raining. They were disappointed in it. The children saw a boat, it was Noah's Ark. Noah had to put the animals on the Ark as they drown. It was raining so much that the water's going to cover everything. As Noah asked them to want some help pointing at the Ark, they helped put the animals on to the Ark. The animals went on to the Ark. A man pushed the elephants, they pulled the crocodiles up in a big net and they pushed a camel because it didn't want to go on to the Ark. As the animals put on the Ark, the children tried to went on to the Ark. A dog Floppy was with the children. Noah looked at Floppy, shouted "Stop!". Noah apologized to them for not being able to have three dogs, because two dogs put on the Ark. The children couldn't leave Floppy, so they didn't go on the Ark. The Ark sailed away. The children floated in Noah's big umbrella. It was still raining. Just then, the magic key began to glow. The magic key took the children their house. Noah's big umbrella got small. The story finished. As I have been fed up on a rainy day, I want the magic key, too. When they were told not to be able to put Floppy by Noah, the children didn't leave Floppy, I thought that the children was very kind. If I face same situation, I will not leave, too. I didn't know about Noah's Ark, so I researched it on the Internet. Noah's Ark story is interesting. It was good for me to read this book.
