The best day

The best day of my life is I was able to make a friend. When I was in kindergarten, I was able to make a friend for the first time. When I was make a friend for the first time, I was very glad. It is very important for me to make a friend. I am depressed very much if there is not a friend to me. The friend is a treasure of a lifetime. I have a lot of friends now. In the future, I want to make a lot of friends. But, I am shy. I am able to speak much to do with the people who speak for the first time. When I was primary school children, I was able to make a lot of friends. Then I was very glad. I don`t want to lose a friends. Because it is very important me, a friends is treasure of life. If you lose a friend, you will not endure. If I lose a friends, I have to live alone. Then I am very glad. When I was primary school children,  I would not injure my friends. Then I was very sad. I apologized to the friend, but the friend did not speak. The friend was my best friend for the first time for me. So I was even sadder. I became acquainted with the same club activities. A class was together with their friends. I was playing with a friend well. But, I have injured a friend while I played. So I think will let cherish friends from now on.

The great San Francisco Earthquake

 

If I live in this time・・・

In 1906 April 18, it was something that happened suddenly. The day morning 7:00 a.m.  April 17. I have a wife and two children. I`m going to send a children to the school after that , I go to the company. A day has passed routinely also today. I arrived at the company at 8 o`clock company and drank coffee. At that time, my wife had a housework. She worked before, but quitted work because she was married with me. And two children were born between me and my wife. The children are a 12 years old boy and a 10 years old girl. But, today is my wife`s birthday. So I`m going to go home and I end work early. I buy a cake on the way back and do the birthday party of wife with children today. When we arrived home, she was sleeping. After that, we woke up her and did a birthday party. She was pleased very much. It was good day for us to do birthday party. We went to bed early because we were very tired. That night, incident happened. Early morning about 5 o`clock, a child woke and woke me up. I said, 「What happen?」My son said, 「Very great earthquake happened now.」I think that it`s a joke, 「It is imagination.」I said.  But he said. 「That`s true.」At that time, the incident happened again. At 5:12 a.m., the ground has begun to shake suddenly. At first, I thought that it was a normal earthquake. But, the earthquake absolutely shaking, severe vibration was continued about one minute. Although once weakened, but again strong vibration occurs, it subsided in the first vibration is about two minutes thirty seconds from the beginning. I fell into a state of panic and confused. I was blow to the body, but I was fine. Of course everyone was waking up. I looked at a wife and his sons soon. The wife was injured a little. My sons cried very much and they injured leg. And it was in a miserable state in the house. I wanted to take children to the hospital, but the city was damage. We don`t know what to do, broke down. About 3,000 people died in this earthquake. In addition, 225,000 people lost a house. We were very scary experience, lost many things. It was very happy just didn`t lose a family. The magnitude was 7,8. This earthquake is called the San Francisco earthquake after, it became an American tragedy. Because I don`t know when and where the earthquake takes place, it is fear very much.

My Hopes and Fears

I will go to Minnesota to summer study abroad on July 21. For the first time, I will go to Minnesota. I want to accomplish many things. For example, I want to go shopping and go to various places with my host family. And I want to make a good friend, both in Minnesota and with the other Japanese students too. I don`t have so much English ability. Especially, I do not have vocabulary power. So I`d like to speak, listen as much as I can. I don`t have cultural knowledge. So I`d like to know about Minnesota. For example, food culture, history and famous things, etc. I will learn English but, I also would like to bring come back to Japan and have many things. I think we want to have a fun go through class and carious activity. This time, I will go abroad for the first time. Of course, I will study English but, I want to go shopping and have a lunch with my host family and my teams. I am afraid of many things. For example, I get up late. So I`m afraid of to get up early.

I never saw Long John Silver again.(p.62)


For the first time, I read a this book. I like to pirates story. When I was young, I often watch a pirates movie. I thought that I read this book and  would like to become a pirates. The hero`s Jim Hawkins was working at the inn. He was working to help his mother. I`m  very impressed. But, pirates came to in his place suddenly. The pirates name is Billy Bones. When I read until the middle of the story, I thought they would survive. But, Billy was killed by man. I was very shocked. After that, Hawkins gets a few friends together and start trip. He is very brave man. Because he fought the pirates and go dangerous adventure. I want to be a brave man. So he found the treasure in Treasure Island. He sometimes remembers John in a dream. I think he　likes Billy.
