My Biggest Injury
I broke my collarbone when I was an elementary school student. It was cold, dim winter day. I played with my friends at the park near my house on that day. We played Oni San Kotira. It is a game that is played among Japanese children. They are mainly elementary school students. I was the Oni ( tagger ) then. I closed my eyes, so I could not see anything. My friends called me and they told me where they were. It is such a game, but it is dangerous for children to play the game in the narrow place or there are some stairs. I stumbled down a step and fell down on the ground. Unfortunately, there was a bench, and I twisted my left arm. Then, I broke my collarbone.
Book Review 3: The Wizard Of Oz
In Kansas, USA, there are no witches or wizards. But there are cyclones, and one day a cyclone blows Dorothy’s house, with Dorothy and her dog Toto in it, to a country called Oz. And in Oz there are four witches, and a famous wizard – the Wizard of Oz.
Dorothy wants to back home to Kansas, but she doesn’t know how to get there. She needs help. ‘Go to the Emerald City,’ the Witch of the North who Dorothy met for the first time in Oz tells her, ’and ask the Wizard of Oz to help you.’
Then Dorothy meets the Scarecrow, the Tin Man, and the Cowardly Lion, but they need help too. So they all take the yellow brick road to the Emerald City. But what are they going to find there? Who – or what – is the famous Wizard of Oz?
They want something for themselves. Dorothy wants to go home, the Scarecrow wants some brains, the Tin Man wants to have a heart, and the Cowardly Lion wants bravery. They are lacking something each other, so they decided to go to the Emerald City to meet the Wizard of Oz together.
The friends get to the Emerald City, they could see the Wizard of Oz fortunately. He is not the regular appearance and the friends see the different looks. But they are not to be given the things that they want. They must kill the Witch of the West before they get the things. They left the city and walk to the Witch’s house.
Dorothy and the Cowardly Lion are carried to the Witch’s house and the Witch told Dorothy to work for her. Dorothy worked the day and night. Addition to that, the Witch wants Dorothy’s red shoes and she tries to pick them up. One day, the Witch could pick the right shoes up at last, but Dorothy got angry and she picked up a bucket of water. Then she threw the water into the Witch’s face!! The Witch of the West was disappeared!! Actually, she was defect in water.
The Wizard of Oz was not the Wizard. He was a man from Kansas, too. He gave a brain to the Scarecrow, a heart to the Tin Man, and the bravery to the Cowardly Lion. However when he would go Kansas with Dorothy, the rope broke and Dorothy could not go home with him. He told Dorothy to ask how to go back to Kansas to the Witch of the East from up, up, up the sky. She quickly called the magic monkeys and told them her wish that she wanted to meet the Witch. Dorothy met the Witch and asked what she should do. Then the Witch said, “ask your red shoes.” Dorothy thanked to the Witch and said good-bye to her and the friends. The shoes brought Dorothy to Kansas as soon as she said “East, west – home’s best!”
I have not read this book in details, but I learn the most important thing from this story. It is that we always want that we already have. We are unconscious that we already have wonderful things like the warmness, the kindness, the ability to think, the bravery, or strictness. The lesson from this story is that we have to be more conscious of our capability.

My Favorite Movie
I like The Fifth Element the best, because it is a SF mivie and it is so fantastic movie. Addition to that, I love Bruce Willis when I saw the movie for the first time.
Portable Banana!!
Do you know that there is a portable banana in the world??
I found it my friend’s house. I cannot help laughing when I saw this banana. Addition to the funny joke, watch out the banana!! What can you see? Could you see the letter FOMA?? She wrote this word because she wanted it to be more interesting.
I heard that she would eat the banana, but I don’t know she ate it or not.

Do you know here??
Many people in Japan know that this place was used in a movie called, “Sekatyu( Shout love in the middle of the world)”. I went there last summer and it was wonderful place, I think.
Seto Oohashi
This is Seto Oohashi(The Great Seto Bridge). It was taken in Kagawa prefecture in Shikoku. I have been there many times. I love Kagawa because of its nature.
Book Review 2:The Last Sherlock Holmes Story
The second Book Review is about a detective story. Its title is “The Last Sherlock Holmes Story” It is written like Dr. Watson wrote this story. When Sir Arthur Conan Doyle wrote his detective stories, he never thought that Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson would become so famous. But Holmes and the doctor live on, in story after story- long after their deaths. For when Dr Watson died, he left behind him a lock box, with orders that it must not be opened for fifty years. The box contained a report, written in the doctor’s own handwriting. But why did he want it kept secret for so many years?
To find out, we must go back to the narrow dirty streets of Whitechapel in the London of 1888. Three women have been horribly murdered by Jack the Ripper. Scotland Yard is helpless- unable to stop the murders or catch the killer. So the police turn for help to the great detective, Sherlock Holmes...
Sherlock Holmes is the most intelligent detective in the world. He can solve all of the problems all over the world. The only the problem he cannot solve is his too much intelligence. Because of his intelligence, he has nothing to kill his boring time. He always finds something interesting, and if he cannot find it, he takes drugs.
When I know that, I feel sorry for Holmes. Too much intelligence is not good for people.

Book Review 1: A Christmas Carol
I read a book titled “A Christmas Carol” and it was written by Charles Dickens.
It was about an old man whose name was Ebenezer Scrooge. I tell you the content. Ebenezer Scrooge is a cross, miserable, mean old man. When his nephew visits him on Christmas Eve to wish him a merry Christmas, Scrooge is not at all pleased. ‘Bah! Humbug!’ he says. ‘Christmas is humbug! Everyone who goes around saying “Merry Christmas” should have his tongue cut out. Yes, he should!
Oh, yes, Scrooge is a hard, mean man. His clerk, Bob Cratchit, gets only fifteen shillings a week, and has to work in a cold little office, with a fire too small to warm even his toes.
But that Christmas Eve Scrooge is visited by the ghost of his long-dead partner, Jacob Marley. And after him come three more ghostly visitors… It is a long night, and a frightening night, and when Christmas Day finally arrives, Scrooge is a very different man indeed.
When I read this book, I felt like crying because the ghosts tell Scrooge the most important things for his life. And I was so happy to know that He has changed. He was a cross, miserable, mean old man before he experienced the night. He lived for money and his works. Because of his hard work, many people have troubles. The spirits have their own names, and they are Christmas Past, Christmas Present, and Christmas Future. They show Scrooge some scenes and tell him the most important thing for his life. They tell him the kindness. And he knew the true meaning of “Merry Christmas”.
It was the most fantastic book that I have ever read. I was impressed by this book and I decided to be kind to others. Everyone, Merry Christmas!!

I had my hair cut
I had my hair cut yesterday. I have long hair and as my forelock had grown under my under jaw, I could not see well. I decided to have my hair cut because of that.
Quit My Club
I quit my volunteer club on June 7th. I was so happy when I did volunteer, and I love volunteer because there are so much happiness. Every time I do volunteer, there are full of smiles. I decided to belong to my volunteer club because of that.
Nevertheless, there were much selfish people in the club. I felt sad. I wanted to help as many as people I can, but I couldn’t. What was the cause? No one knows. I decided to quit my club to be more independent and strong. I don’t want to accuse others, I think...

Panic!!
I was panic on June 8th. I had something to do with a computer that day. After finishing the work, I tried to save the work on a computer. I had believed that I could save it, however, I couldn’t. Then, I was panic! To be worse, there were no time to hand in the work. I quickly print out it, went to another computer room, wrote it down on a computer again, and hand in it. Needless to say, I could not hand in it in time. I was so disappointed that.
I have to start more earlier next time.
