Using the computer

I use the computer in some classes. I am bad at using the computer. Until I entered the university, I had seldom used the computer. At the university we use the computer so many times, so my typing speed is faster than ever before. Today, we can't work without computers at places of work. I would like to be a good user of the computer and get a certification if I can. There are a lot of tools I don't know. Please teach me a variety of tools of the computer.

June 5th and 6th

On the last weekend, I had a part-time job. The shop I work at had a sale for customers on June 4th, 5th and 6th. A lot of customers came to the shop. The stuffs all were so busy!!! We have to say in a loud voice..."May I help you?", "We received a lot of new clothes." and so on...That is why something was wrong with my throat on Friday, but I raised my voice. At Saturday evening, I've lost my voice. OH, MY GOD!!! I waited on customers with a gesture. Ha ha ha... It was so difficult for me to communicate with only gesture, but it was fun. My voice doesn't recover:<>

BR1-10: The Scaredy Cat


I read a book, "The SCAREDY Cat".

There was a cat whose name was Stanley. However everyone called him Scaredy Cat because he was scared of everything. He was scared of even frog. One night, Stanley went for a walk with his friends. They met with a mouse. His friends tried to chase and get the mouse, but Stanley was scared of the mouse. The mouse ran into a house. Stanley's friends also ran into the house. Stanley followed them. No one was in the house. Stanley was in a lounge, while his friends chased the mouse. Then, he saw something behind curtains. He thought that it was a monster and called his friends. The monster came closer and closer... Stanley tried to run, but he was frozen because of fear. The monster tripped over him and tangled in the curtains. Stanley was on it. His friends came and saw the scene. Just then, the lady who lived in the house came home. She saw Stanley and something in the curtains. Something in the curtains was not a monster but a burglar. She thought Stanley caught the burglar and stroked him. From then, he wasn't afraid of anything. No one called him a scaredy cat.

In fact, this cat was brave. It is important that we have confidence in our own ability.

My favorite movie(s)

Do you have favorite movies? I have a favorite movie. As you know, it's "Enchanted". I introduced this movie on my blog before. This movie is a Disney movie and it's fantasy. It's a story like "Schneewittchen". I watched this movie at a movie theater with my friend. This movie is an animation as well as a film shot on the spot. I was surprised at! I think that it is a new idea. The story and the construction are so good and music of this movie is also good. It's like a musical. This movie is worth watching. Please watch this movie.

BR1-9: The Magic Pear Tree


I read a book, "The Magic Pear Tree".

This story is interesting!!!
This is a story about Shen who is selfish, a hungry beggar, a kind woman, pears and a little bit of magic. Shen had a big garden. There was a tree of pears. He thought that he sold pears at the market and got a lot of money. A beggar asked him to give a pear, but had no money. Shen shouted "Go away!". A kind woman looked the scene. She asked him to give the beggar a pear. However, Shen rejected. Then she bought a pear for the beggar.The beggar was delighted. He ate the pear and dug a hole to drop in the seeds. A crowd came to watch. He poured hot tea into the hole. The shoot grew and grew. The beggar gave everyone pears. He chopped down the tree and strolled away while no one was watching the beggar. When Shen looked at his box of pears, there was no pears. He found that pears were his and were angry. Everyone laughed at it and "Next time, you'll be less selfish." they said.

Please read this book!
