My favorite junior high memory

My junior high school was so big, and many students go there by on foot or bicycle. I always go there by bicycle. It took about 15minutes from my house. I like to go home with my friends. My good friends are another class, so I didn't have enough time to talk them. However when I finished all classes, I visited their classes, and called them. I don't know why I visited their class every day, but naturally, it became a habit for me. My second favorite memory is "Nice Try". This program's motto is job experience. It was a first job experience for me, so I was nervous. I worked with my classmates in home center FUTABA. Earn money is important thing, but offering hospitality makes customers happy and fresh. The experience can't do only junior high, so I can't forget those experiences.

My favorite season

What is your favorite season? My favorite season is winter. Because my birthday is waiting and streets brighten by a lot of illuminations. I like cold season better than hot season, so winter makes me excited. I usually spend this season with kotatsu in my house. Kotatsu keeps my body warm. If it's not in my house, I can't spend there comfortably. However kotatsu has disadvantage. Once I put my foot in it, I oversleep until the morning. Also, I enjoy spending my birthday every year. My family or friends make a plan for me, so it's fun to join a Christmas and my birthday party. Then I get presents and messages. I appreciate them every time. Every one enjoy spending each time. Some people spend a person who thinks "precious". I can see the faces that everyone are smiling.

Cream puff is one of the French desserts. I prefer to eat puff pastry that is made by pie. It taste is better than usual puff. I don't like too sweet cream, so how can we find which one is so sweet? We can't find without eating it. It's so difficult! I usually buy it in "Beard Papa". It's in Kumamoto department store. This shop's cream puff is great. We can choose some puff pastes. For example, normal, pie, chocolate. Of course I always choose pie! After we choose puff pastes, clerks start to get cream into empty puffs. If I have a time, I'd like to try to make it!

My favorite clothing

Which do you prefer, pants or skirts? I like to put on pants. Pants style is relax and we can move actively. Skirt is also cute but pants style is the best. If I want to get good pants, I always go "moussy". This shop is kind of casual. The price is not so cheap but the quality is high. I try on some pants in fitting room, and I think what shape is really fitted me. Skinny, Buggy, Boots cut, Damage jeans... I have many choices! I always buy Skinny type jeans.

At all points, I love pants! I want to try to wear other kinds of clothes.

Essays 2-02a: Group movie reviews

      Yuka watched a Robbin Hood 2010 version, and Momo watched Robbin Hood of Disney. There are some different scenes each other, but a few main scene were same. Both Robbin who appeared 2010 and Disney were brave. Thanks to him and his friends, the villagers were helped by misgovernment. We are going to tell about our favorite scene of Robbin Hood.

      Yuka’s favorite scene in this movie is that Robin fight with Godfrey.It is a climax of this movie and also important scene, I think. Their fight in the sea was so hard battle and I was attracted this scene naturally. Robin really wanted to win because of avenge on Marion's husband and her father. I think Godfrey's crime can't allow. He killed many innocent people and he injured people's feelings. He is more crueler than the others. I think his doing is not correct. It is not justice, everyone think. I believe Robin because his thought convinced me. He taught real justice and don't give up however the lower status. This is why I like this scene. I understood this battle's mean and Robin is the real hero in Middle Ages.
 

       Momo’s favorite scenes of Robbin Hood is that Robbin Hood disguised a poor person, and he gave his bow and arrow for rabbit boy who robbed his birthday present from a government official. Robbin was kind foe everyone, so he was liked by almost all the villagers. Robbin always helped them when they were in troubles because the King levy a heavy taxes. 

       Our third favorite scene is that Robbin and his friends beat a bad king cooperation. The villagers were distressed by a levy and self-centeredness of a bad king. Robbin used arrows, and the part of the king used swords and cannons. However, Robbin won. We think Robbin could not win without cooperation of his friends. Through this battle, their bands were very strong.

We watched different Robin hood each other, but there are some similar scenes. Robin hood was kind and he had consideration for people. He helped country from a bad king with his friends. Robin was their hero.
