Summer challenges

First, I lost only 2kg, so I failed this challenge... I ate ice cream at night. I couldn't put up with the heat. Too bad! I keep trying my weigh and I want to lose more.

Second, I got a part-time job in cram school, is called juku. In August I worked hard 5 or 6 times a week. But in September 3 times only one week becaus students  must go to school from the beginning of September!  I failed this challenge...

For example, omlet rice, nikujaga, tempura,croquette, spaghetti salad, creamy stew, stir-fried vegetables, apple pie, baked cheese cake, strawberry shortcake and so on! They were very delicious!

elllo#539 Sleeping

Akane goes to bed quite early but she hates waking up really early. She doesn't fall asleep when she work but she used to fall asleep in front of computer. And she went to watch the symphony orchestra because it was very beautiful music. I also fall asleep wherever, particular when I'm tired. It's so good for me to take bus and train, and I feel quite comfortable in them.

elllo#494 Soccer vs. Baseball

Steve thinks that the best sport in the world is soccer, is called football in America. While Todd thinks that it's just not as good as basaball. Soccer is very accessible for developing countries people because they need only a ball, a field. Baseball also they need only a stick, a rock. Both of them have a lot of fun. But I prefer soccar to baseball.

elllo#445 Venice

Venice is Italy's most famous cities. Marion and her friends went there. It was so cold because in middle of February. A lot of fun for them were carnival. They met up in huge piazza, Piazza San Marco. A gondola is very long, kind of boat in Venice. She experienced quite funny things. I have never seen and stepped into gondola. I would like to go to Italy because Italy is one of the best countries I want to go.

Lesie has two hobbies. First, it's going to the gym. She likes swimming and auqa-aerobics. My mother sad that swimming is good to improve our figures. I want to try them. Second, it's baking pies.

My review of " Romeo and Juliet "

This is one of the most famous love stories, more than hundred years after it was written by William Shakespeare. It's set in Verona in the north of Italy. Romeo Montague is requited love with Rosaline. But at Capulet's party, Romeo falls in love with Juliet Capulet, she also. At the end, Juliet died by using medicine temporary. Then Romeo kills himself by his knife, Juliet wakes up and she also kills herself by his knife. For the first time, I read the play of " Romeo and Juliet ". I want to see the play actually. I think that this story is an immortal work.
