The Finest in the Land

It was Kipper's sixth biethday. The band played Happy Birthday. "That was brilliand," said Kipper. "I didn't know you are such good musicians." "Of course we are," said Wlima."We are the finest in the land."(p.32)

Kipper said, "I'm six next week". Every one around Kipper planed to formed band to Kipper, and play Happy Birthday. But they didn't have enough time to practice. Then, the magic took the children on another adventure. It tool them to the the Middle Ages. There were entertainers. Suddenly a man on a horse rode up. He said, "you shold be at the castle bu now." Edith is King's daughter. She can't marry because his hather don't want her to marry. So, the children help her.

I think that yhe children are veru kind to people and friendly. This story made me happy. Edith could marry by children's help.

State of Minnesota

     I will talk about the state of Minnesota. My friends are going to Minnesota this summer, so I'm interested in Minnesota too. Minnesota located midwestern in America, and share a border with Canada. Minnesota's climate is continental climate, so temperature is going up and down. Minnesota has four habitats. Reasently, some animals are influenced by suburban development. The capital city is Saint Paul. Saint Paul and Minneapolis are called Twin Cities. People in Minnesota are very friendly and kind to you.

There are a lot of sightseeing spots in Minnesota. I recommend you to visit Minnesota Marine Art Museum. We can enjoy some arts in this place. There aren't a lot of people there, so visitors can view arts slowly. There are only 6 rooms which displayed arts work. it's great little museum. Visitors can experience some attractions which use an optical illusion. Children can enjoy this place too, so this museum is very popular sightseeing spot. If you want to try activity in Minnesota, I recommend to visit Character Challenge Course. You can active in  nature in Minnesota. There are some dangerous activities too, but stuff are very kind to visitors and we can enjoy safety. This spot is family oriented.
The most famous spot is The city of  Bloomington. There are wild animal reserve and Japanese garden. It's very beautiful city and people are very friendly. There are a lot of shops. Surprisingly, shopper don't have to pay consumption tax when they buy some clothes or shoes. There is the biggest amusement park in America at the center of shopping mall. It will make you happy.

Next, I will introduce food. "Lucy Lucy" is very famous hamburger in Minnesota. Cheese is knead into dough. It has high calories, but very populous. "Walleye" and "Wild Rise" are famous too. Walleye is fish. This is not saled in market, so fish shop of native American only get it. Wild Rise is different from Jamapanese rise. It have different textures like nuts. Wild Rise is rich in nutrients, so Wild Rise is more expensive than White Rise. People in Minnesota usually eat fast food, and they has some problems about fatness. Recently, people are becoming health consucious in Minnesota.

There are a lot of museums in Minnesota. For example, Minneapolice Insutitute of Arts and Warler Arts Center. Thease museums are very famous in the world, pople can enjoy dance and waching moovie. Minnesota Orchestra and Minneapolice Symphony Orchestra are pro band. They join the concert in Minnesota, and this concert is most popular concert in America.

This Weekend

This weekend is very hard for me because part time job was very hard. Customer had just got salary, so a lot of people came to our restaurants. I'm working at Aloha Natural Hawaiann Beer Garden, and price of some foods and drinks are little expensive. I was very tired. But, cumulative sales are 150,0000!! It was very wonderful, owner in this restaurant was looked very happy. This is friday and saturday's story.

BR Green Island

"What will happen to the seagull?" asked Wilf. "It's feathers will be damaged," said Mrs Honey. "So first we'll clean the oil off. Then we'll look after it for a week or two. It has to get strong again,and its feathers have to get better. Then we'll let it go." (p,13)

This story about Mr Johnson's class went to a big house called Seabay House. There are a lot of interesting things to do. One day, children found seagull couldn't fly. It can't fly because it has oil on its feathers. Oil is hard to get off. Mr Johnson took the children to see Mrs Honey. Children helped to gett off oil from seagull,but Oil is terrible stuff. Children felt really sorry for the seagull.
I think that this story made children to think about enviromental problem.

State of Vermont

I will introduce about state of Vermont because I want to go there someday.
Vermont is one of the US. The origin of this name is unknown, but "Vermont" comes from "Les Verts Monts". "Les Verts Monts" is french.
Average temperatures in Vermont is 6℃. Summer is hot, and we can see beautiful autumn during the fall. Turkey bemome extinct because influence of hunting and destroying habitat range.

Apple and maple syrup are famous in Vermont. In Japan, Vermont curry is very famous as you know. There are the health management method use some apples and maple syrup when people cook. Japanese company puted this method into practice in Japan.

Population in Vermont isn't largest, so nature in vermont is well preserved. There are a lot of crofts, and the number of cows are higher than population in vermont. BEN＆JERRY'S is famous company of ice cream in America, this company establish a base at Vermont. We can enjoy seaasonally nature in Vermont, so I think Vermont is quite similar to Japan. We can try ski and snowboard, another sports in winter. There are about 30 ski areas, and orinpic ski champion is people in Vermont every time!! Spring and summer is the best season of outdoor. People in Vermont enjoy  water sports in this season. There are a lot of sightseeing spots, but I recommend to go Burglington park because we can cycling and enjoy wonderful view. There are some restaurants in this area, so we can have lunch in this places!!

In the 60s, hippie hope free and peace came to Vermont, and they became to live there. BEN＆JERRY I have already introduced or Green Mountain Coffee are expanding into Vermont. These company emphasize the quality of their products and fair trade for small farm family. So we can see many restaurants and shops treat organic foods in burnlington.

BR 1-04: Why the sea is salty

       Where did the salt come from? Well, it all began with a magic millstone... It made gold and jewels or special spices or whatever the King asked for.One day, a thief heard about the millstone. The thief told the guards in palace he come from far, just to see the palace. A kind guard showed the thief around. Later, when no one was looking, he crept back again."Got it!!". But, he will be caught up trouble there........( Pussell Punter, 2009, p12)

     I have thought that why the sea is salty when I was child. Probabbly, everyone have thoght like that at least one time. In this story, a thief asked the millstone to make salt. But, the millstone continued to meke salt on thief's boat. So, salt overflow to the sea from boat. This is the reason the sea is salty in  this story. I have heard the god of sea cried a lot of time, so sea is salty. I thought that there are a lot of story and each story is interesting!!!

Book review

     I read "Monster on the Street". Four young people meet the new family who move into the big yellow house. I thought something monster may appear in this story, but Four young people were saying that big piano is monster. I felt these heroines are very cute!! This book is series, so I want to read part2 if I have enough time to read. Next I read "Sorcerer's Appentice". This main character was boring everyday because he has to clean his sorcere teacher's workshop. He want to be a sorcerer, but his teacher never letshim do any magic. Ant, he made mischief wile his teacher went into town. I understand the main character's feeling. For the last time, he feel responsible for his mischief and he became a great sorcere. This story made me happy!! Finally, I read "Titanic". I have seen mouvie some times, but I never read book. I could imagine engineers and workers who employed to shipbuilding. But this book's sentence contain a lot of technical language, so it was difficult for me.
