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.

In this weekend

I will write about this weekend. I went to part time job on saturday. It was very hard for me because there were a lot of customers, so I have to run while I was working. I felt strong muscle pain when I went back home. But, I may diet by running when I'm working, so it's OK. And, I like busy working than not busy working because time spend fast. I had to sell some products of KAO. KAO is Japanese famous company. This company sell kind of wash powder. This work is not busy every time. So time spend very slowly, and I was very boring.

         This is the story of two boys. They are both good riders. One day, they join race game. They want to win each other!! Tyler's friends cheer up him, and Ryan's father said "I want you to go faster than last year. You will win !!" to him. He had worry, but he says " Yes, Dad." Eventually, they had a good race. But Ryan pushed Tyler at the gate. I think Ryan was feeling responsible by his father's worlds. I remember when I was a University hopeful. Sometimes, support or encouragement make us suffering.
