BR2-18: GUCCI ~BUSINESS IN FASHION~

I chose "GUCCI" book this time because I didn't know the history of GUCCI. Do you?

Do you like brand things such as GUCCI? Actually, I am not interested in brand, but I want brand thing someday when I become more adult and the woman who is suit the brand thing. I think having a brand thing is the women's status. Guys give women some brand bags or watch or something, like that and women walk smartly in the street. That is my image of GUCCI.lol

GUCCI is now famous fashionable company in the world. Guccio Gucci run established the company, and it started in 1921 in Italy. His name is like GUCCI. I didn't know that.
GUCCI was in World War 2, so it was hard to sell expensive brand things to people. However, the company's people protected the product and keep loving their GUCCI products. It's awesome.

There are some points to be paid attention. I think it's not so good that young people have brand products because it seems cheep. And many people have brand bag, so it become worth nothing. Having brand things is nice but think these things I told you, and enjoy your fashion life!!

BR2-17: The PIANO

Hi. Do you like music? I love music. I love listening to music and also love playing the music. I like many kind of musics such as pop music, R&B, hawaiian music, ratin music and so on. Also I like classical music, especially piano's. So I chose this book. I've taken lessons on the piano for about 15 years, but I couldn't play very well. However, this main character, Tony became greate pianist at last although he didn't learn piano lessons before.

He was a farm boy because his family was very poor and he had to work in farm and give some money to his parents. He was so nice boy, I thought. One day, a farmer told Tony to take all out of an old cottage and thraw it away. And it contained a old piano. Tony likes music and piano, so he wanted it. He'd never played before, but he could play some beautiful music very well. The music came to him and moved his finger. It's so strange but I think he might be a genius! I envy him.

Then he placticed playing piano everyday. At last, he became a greate pianist!
I thought that no matter how he is a genius and has a talent for music, he needs so much practicing. It is difficult to master something but it is good becoming enthusiastic about something.

BR2-16: Alice's Adventure in Wonderland

I chose "Alice's Adventure in Wonderland" in this time because this is one of my favorite story. I knew it when I was a child and from Disney's animation "Alice in Wonderland". It's so interesting story because it is not normal story. Alice's wonderland is strange but has a dream because Alice could be bigger and smaller, flowers and cat and rabbit could talk, cards were like human, and so on. There were all her dream, but I thought it was so real.

I always dream and they are all strange story. However I don't think it is strange when I am in my dream. I wonder at I saw these strange dream although I didn't think about these things every day. I think Alice likes daydreaming and she has her own story, and it's also strange and abnormal story. It is great!

I also love the animation, so I gonna watch it again later:)

BR2-15: The Motorway

How are you today?
Today is Friday, so I'm happy because it's last day of the hard week.

By the way, I read the book " The Motorway" today and it's Gran's story, my favorite.
This story is related with nature and taught me the importance of nature.


The main character, Gran live in a cottage in a little village and her grandchildren, Chip and Biff really like to play in her garden because it's grand and has a beautiful green nature. I thought that I became want to run in a such grand beautiful grass field. They played a Chinese big dragon kite. But... when the wind blew it away and landed in a tree, a woman who wearing a work dress and has a long pole got the kite down with it and told to Gran a plan of building a motorway in their village.

Gran, Chip and Biff were very upset and also the village people were upset. They decided to stop the plan, so they made some big banners and protected in a meeting but they couldn't stop it.
One day, Gran found a few rare flowers and it was a hope for the village future and nature's future. Thanks to the rare flowers, they could stop the plan!

I thought that nature's power is stronger than human's power. Human and nature have to live together!

BR2-14: Frog and Toad Are Friends

Today I read "Frog and Toad are Friends". I have read this book in Japanese before. Maybe it was the time when I was a elementary school student and I was impressed by this story then. I love this story because the two frogs' characters are different and both interesting.

The main character, Frog and Toad are best friends and they always together. Also they always bear in mind their partner's position and feelings. For example, when Frog was not feeling well and rested in the bed, Toad thought story as hard as he could. And when Toad felt depressed about no mail, Frog wrote a letter to Toad. I think they are best friends in the world and I envy them. I have few best friends and I am happy to met them. I can't be with them everyday, but I love them.

This is short story but heartwarming. Also I thought about my friends.

BR2-13: Grasshopper on the road

What's up guys?

Cold these days, isn't it?



I read "Grasshopper on the road" today. I love this pictures in this book. Actually I don't like insect, but I like this Grasshopper on the picture because he is cute. There are some his short stories in this book, so it was easy to read and interesting.

I'll tell you a rough plot which is my favorite of this book a little bit. The main character of this story, Grasshopper wanted to go on a journey. He found a lovely road and met group of beetles at first. They were singing and dancing because they were morning lover club! I thought it's so funny because they are a likely thing in the actual insect world. Grasshopper love morning too, but he also love afternoon, so beetles were angry and shouted at Grasshopper. Then he were alone, so kept traveling. He met many insect.

He met three beautiful batterflies at edge of the road. He sat on the big mushroom and then three batterflies asked him to move aside from the mushroom. The three battaflies said they were doing some things every day. The mashroom is that they always sit on, and each and every day they do the same things at the same time. I think it's too boring thing. I wonder they never get tired of doing same things every day. I think human life and also insect life become more interesting because of doing different things and happning different things in every day life. That is one of the value of human and insect life, I think.

This is a insect story, but it was similar to human's life. I enjoyed reading this!

BR2-12: The Coldest Place on Earth

I read " The coldest place on earth" today. It is a history of Robert Falcon Scott who is an Englishman and went to the coldest place on earth. I didn't know the history, and also I've never been the coldest place, so I was interested in this story. Have you ever been to cold place? Kumamoto's winter is not so cold, y' know, so we can't experience cold place. I think the coldest place is not a place which human can live. There are no food and warm things. If I were there, maybe I can't spend a long time.

The main character, Scott is a captain of his ship and in summer of 1910, a race which to be a first human at the South Pole began. They tried to go South Pole, in Antarctica but it was really hard and dangerous place. Human can't go there easily, so Scott and his member took many ponies and dogs. They pull sledges and skied. The temperature was sometimes -40° Centigrade. I thought it's so hard and people maybe couldn't walk. We can go there by helicopter or other transportation system now, but they didn't have these then. It's impossible thing! They were really amazing guys, so I respect them.

BR2-11: Survival Adventure

Today, I read this book “Survival Adventure”. Have you ever experienced survival camping? I never, but I’d like to experience it. However, camping is so fun, isn’t it? I love the atmosphere of camping because we can have barbecue with friends or family with chatting and also we can contact with beautiful nature.

The main characters of this story, Wilf and Chip took a tent round to Chip’s house and they slept into the tent. They enjoyed the camping in the garden, but a magic key took them to survival adventure. There were a lot of wild animals like very big bear and Indians. Spending in forest is very dangerous, so we have to cooperate and help each other. It's not only a problem when we are faced in dangerous situation but also we have to help each other when we are cooking or washing or something like that. However, camping is so exciting, so I'd like to do it next year!!

BR2-10: Dutch Adventure

Today, I read this book “Dutch Adventure” and I learned that the importance of cooperation.

The main characters are a girl, Biff and a boy, Chip. They’re sister and brother. They have a magic key and one day the magic key took them to Holland. There were windmills and dyke in Holland. When Biff and Chip took some cheeses with Hans who is a boy taking some cheeses to the market, Water was spouting through the dyke!! The hole was getting bigger and bigger, so they pushed cheeses into the hole. Chip went to a windmill to ask someone help and a man was inside the windmill. The man was cutting the cheese in half and he took some diamonds inside the cheese! He stole the diamonds when people trying to stop bursting water. What a worse guy! They caught the man and then they could stop bursting water.

I thought that thing have to be used as good thing and not have to be used as bad thing. It is related to humanity, so it is really important. I think if people do good thing, it will be rewarded certainly. Then if you sacrifice something, it surely return to you again. I learned these things from this book.

BR2-09: Sam's New Flat

Today I read " Sam's New Flat". I choosed this one because I have moved before and I could understand her feelings. This story is easy to read and the picture is nice. The story was that Sam's parents didn't want to spend a time in their house anymore, so Sam and her mother moved to different place and it was a new flat. Sam's feeling was not so good because she was alone and she has no friend there.

I think that it's difficult to make friends in a new place. Besides, she wanted to live together with her father and mother, I think, so it is too hard to keep her feelings happy. When I moved here, I have no friend too, so I played with my sister. However, there were many children near my house, so I had courage and made some new friends. I thought that having a courage to join friends is important to acclimate ourselves to a new environment.

Sam could make friends very naturally, so it was good thing. It was nice story.

BR2-08: Rescue!

I read exciting story today. That is "Rescue!". The main character, a boy, Wilf and a girl, Biff met a princess Aisha and they went to rescue her younger sister who had been kidnapped. It was very dangerous mission because there were many scary men and they tried to catch Wilf and Biff and sisters.

The most important point of this story is that thinking some idea to avoid dangerous. When we were faced with something danger or when we have to escape from some bad guy, we usually think about some way to avoid these. Besides, we have to come up the idea very quickly because we have no time to wait. We have to avoid the dangerous so quickly. I think it is very difficult to think good idea quickly. But I also think that we can think idea quickly when I faced these dangerous situation. I don't know why but I believe that acting on the decision of an instant will go well. Our quick reaction save our life! I thought that human beings have great power. It's wonderful!

BR2-07: Red Planet

Do you like space or rocket ship? This story is about space. I want to ride rocket ship because it looks fun! Everything float inside the rocket. I want to float! And I want to see the earth from space. I think the earth is very very beautiful we had expected.

The main character, three boys and a dog went to space because of their magic key. The key took them into the computer game kinds of space. They put on spacesuits and the dog too. It's funny that a dog is waring spacesuits. And they went to red planet and the planet was all red and there were nothing. Only funny little people or animal were there. They helped three boys and a dog to go back home. I thought they were very different from human beings who live the earth but they are so kind like human beings.

The story was so interesting!

BR2-06: The Rainbow Machine

This is very interesting story because rainbow was made by human and Rainbow Machine. I couldn't believe it but I don't know how to make rainbow, so I was really interested in it.

The rainbow machine can move anywhere because it's in a big lorry and the machine has so many computers. I thought why are there so many computers? It is just for making rainbow, so why? Five children made many kinds of rainbow such as straight rainbow, waving rainbow and it was all broken a broken rainbows. But I thought it was funny and nice. However, it is not good for nature and people because it is unusual.

The rainbow made from some inks. I want to make my original rainbow. It is so fun if people can make own rainbows, isn't it? Anyway, rainbow is so beautiful and it makes people happy feelings. I like rainbow very much! How about you??

This story was like a adventure. Three children's mother's birthday came, so they gave some presents for her. A boy called Chip gave a box of chocolates and a little boy, Kipper made a monkey and gave for her. A girl, Biff caught a plant and gave for her. Their dad also gave her a plant and their neighbor, Anneena and other people also gave her plants, so the house turned into a jungle!

When children played in Biff's room, a magic key glowed and the magic took them into a jungle like their mom's plants!! The jungle was beautiful but there were many dangerous animal and plants. They had to take very carefully. Then they met two old man and woman and they were looking for the Lost City. The children helped them to find the place. They crossed a rope bridge and got a old boat and the boat went through a big waterfall. I thought it was very dangerous and if I were there, I can't cross the dangerous bridge and through the waterfall.

Surprisingly, behind the waterfall there were many steps and they climbed the steps. Then they could find the Lost City!! There were many golds and also the wall was gold. They were happy.

I thought that it was unbelievable that the dangerous jungle has the Lost Golden City. If people find the city, they can be billionaire!! But if people couldn't find there, maybe they die. I think it's very hard decision for us. Anyway I don't want to go the jungle!! HAHA:)

The watercolor painting is very beautiful and cute and it is travel story, so I like this book. I like traveling somewhere in Japan and other country but I have not been with my friends, so I want to travel with my friends! I think it’s really fun and exciting thing!!

BR2-03: Flood!

I have not experienced big flood, so I don’t know how hard it is. I wanted to know that, so I elected this book.

There are five people and one dog in the family. It had been raining and raining for days. At first, there is little paddle outside but a storm came in the middle of the night and the rain beat their house, so they couldn’t sleep. The next day, outside was like a big lake and couldn’t see ground. The school was closed and people were taking some sandbags to their front of the house to keep away getting flooded into the house. Father and mother took a chair and plants upstairs, so children helped them.

The night, flood water came in the downstairs!! Oh no!! The hall was full of water. I thought it’s terrible. Next day, fire officers came to the flooded street and they took a dinghy and helped the family. They went to a hall in the town and there were many people. They ate and drank something hot. I think spending people makes me heave a sigh of relief. After they backed home, the downstairs were all mud but the mother said warm words, “What’s more important than all this mud? We are”.

I like this word because I think what is most important thing is human’s life. We have to protect our body and safe first. I understood that flood is so hard for human beings but it is natural disaster, so it cannot help avoiding. I thought it is important to thinking and preparing some countermeasures against the disasters.

BR2-02: Boats!

I read the book about boats. The book’s pictures are really cute and colorful, so I enjoyed reading this book. There are many boats I don’t know. When I heard “Boats”, I imagined may be only one kind of boat, but it is wrong. The word “Boats” has many boats. For example, there is big boat, fancy boat, plain boat, boat in bathtub, ferry boat, motor boat, working boat, old boat, sail boat, high boat, show boat and so on. I was very surprised at read that because there are so many boats! It’s really interesting!

I ride a ferry boat every summer to go to Nagasaki and meat my relative. Riding ferry is so fun and I always go outside of the boat and watch seagulls with my family and also watch beautiful sea with feeling sea breeze.
I want to ride more other boats and I really want to ride a luxurious passenger boat someday!!

BR2-01: Magic Tricks

I like watching a magic show on TV. It’s really exciting show for me. My father also likes it.
There are three good magic on the book and many pictures helps me to understand easily. The important point of good magic tricks are three here.

First, you don’t tell your friends how to do your magic tricks;

Second, you have to practice tricks many times on your own;

Third, you’d better to look in a mirror because you can see how the tricks look.

The tricks are very easy, so I thought it is important to do the magic without being suspected by anyone. Practicing a lot is very important and showing friends naturally is also important thing. I’d like to amaze my friends and I promise I don’t tell the tricks!

BR1-12: Mike's Lucky Day

I think lucky day doesn't continue everyday. Bad day and lucky day usually repeat.
This main character, Mike is an assistant of van driver and he always says jokes. One day, he and the driver went to Morgan's shop and took some boxes into the shop. Mr. Morgan's daughter, Jennifer is always in the shop and Mike like her very much because her eyes are beautiful and her smile is charming. Mike ask her to go to the cinema with him on the telephone.

BR1-11: Houses Then and Now

Do you like to spend your house? I like to spend my house,especially a living room and my room. I usually spend in a living room and watch TV or talk to my family or do homework. I moved to Kumamoto about 16 years ago, so my house was built about 16 years ago.

This book told about the old and new houses and old house was built in 1903. Wow~, it's about 100 years ago!! The living room is called " parlour". There were no TVs, so they read books, sewes clothes and played board games there. The interior has a sense of high quality and the furniture is also. I thought the old house has many wooden things, for example, chairs, a wall, tables, shelves and so on. And brick things are also many. I was surprised at the thing that they didn't have a toilet in their house. The toilet was outside!!

The new house is very simple and has many rooms and the living room is called " the family room". There are many electric appliances, you know. It became more and more confortable to live in.

It is interesting to think about the old house and new house. They are contained the family structure, way of spend, cultures and progress of technology.
