Reflection on Writing III


I was very surprised when I heard about Writing blog. I had never written 10000 words in English. I was very difficult to write a blog at first. It took me 30 minutes to write 100 words. But I could enjoy gradually writing the blog. I wrote interesting things. For example, a birthday party, shopping, trip and so on. And I attached the picture on the blog. When I read my blog, I can enjoy too. 

Also I was very difficult to write BR. At first I have to read a book. It was difficult to read it. Because there were many words I didn’t know. But I didn’t use the dictionary so much. I imaged the words from a title or illustration. When I could not understand the story, I used it. Also, it was very interesting to read a book I have read when I was  child. For example, Cinderella, Little marmeid and so on. It was difficult to introduce the story. Especially, the story I know was difficult. But the experience was very good.

And I could write 10000 words in August. I was very happy, but I had to write the blog 15000 words in next semester.

BR 2-24: Bear

Polar bear cubs are born in winter too (p.6)

This book introduce about bear. For example, their habits, the kinds of bear, about dens, their body. I like bear. When I was child, I often went to the zoo. Especially, I like a polar bear. They are very cute. But I often hear that bear attack people. I'm very sad. Some of there are people who don't like bear. This book tell us bear living body. It is very interesting.

At first, female polar bears dig dens in the snow. Their cubs are born inside the snow den. It is very warm inside.

Also, bears has different paws and claws each other. Brown bears use their claws dig up roots to eat. Polar bears' paws have grip, so they don't slip on the ice. Pandas have an extra bone in each paw. They use it to grip bamboo plants to eat.

There are many interesting things in this book. Also, the picture and illustration is very cute. You may have image which bears are ferocity. But I became to like them very much after reading this book.

BR 2-23: How flowers grow

There are thousands of different kinds of flowers growing all over the world  (p. 3)

I like flowers very much. There are many flowers in my house. My parents grow them. I like it, but I didn't know kinds of flowers or how to grow it. This book introduce it. For example, seeds to seedling, plant parts, making food, buds to flowers, pollen and nectar, making seeds and so on. 

Also, there are many flowers pictures in this book. It is not illustration, so it is very beautiful. There are many flowers which I didn't know.

And I was surprised things. It is What flowers even grow in hot, dry deserts. Some desert plants don't grow while the soil is dry, but their seeds lie in the ground. After rain, the seeds grow into flowers. I thought that there is only a cactus in desert. Flower's life force is very strong. My parents said same things. So flowers in my house is very beautiful every day, Very hot summer, very cold winter. This book was good for me.

 I went to Tokyo with my friend. She lives in Fukuoka. She goes to Fukuoka University, so we could not meet so much. But we wanted to go there since we were high school student. We like Disney, so we decided to go Tokyo Disney Land and See.

But we live in different places, so I had to go Tokyo alone. I had not ridden in plane yet, so I was very anxiety. Also, I had to go to the hotel in Makuhari. Makuhari is Chiba. But I like plane very much, so I enjoyed the time. I could watch the Mt.Fuji on the plane. It was very beautiful. I had never watched it, so I was very glad.

I could arrive the hotel alone by the bus. When I met my friend in it, I was relief. At soon, I went to the TDL by train. Makuhari is very big city, so there were many people in the station. I was very surprised. But my friend’s Saki lives in Fukuoka. Fukuoka is bigger than Makuhari. She always uses train in Fukuoka, so she used to be train. I followed her.Finally, I arrived at Maihama station.

It is symbol in TDL. I cannot watch this like big tree in other place.  I planted to watch the Christmas parade at 8 o’clock, so I ate the dinner before it. There are many restaurants. I ate breads & soup. The shape of bread is Mickey Mouse. It was very cute.
