By the way, I worked at Hawaian Natural Beer Garden. It's in PARUCO, and it's in out side. So, we can't open when it's rain. We have big rain a lot of time. So my salary is very low in this month.

State of Vermont

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.

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 Monkeys

They have pretend fights. Then they make up with their friends.They play all day, until it gets dark. Then they cuddle up on branches... and sleep until morning.(p,45)

This is about the monkey's life. There is no story, but we could know monkey's life. I think that monkey's baby are same with human baby, because they learn alot of things by playing. I want to read more difficult book than this book next time.

Mission:Impossible...and other matters

      Today, I watched the Mission Impossible. I know this movie, but I have never watched this movie. Because, I have been thought that this movie isn't interesting very much. I'm not interesting in action movie, but my thinking was change!! I want to try to watch this movie. Probably, I can't understand English in this movie because it's very fast and difficult. So I will watch this movie in English after I watch it in Japanese.
I went to junior high school next to this university in this weekend. I taught easy English grammar to some junior high school students. They had to study English for the examination, so they have a lot of question about English grammar. I have no experiences I teach English for younger people. Especially, I think that junior high school students are very powerful and little noisy. But, they were very good students and they were very pretty. I could to enjoy that time!!
