Fukuoka①


Today, I went to Fukuoka to go to the EXILE's live concert with my friend. We met at Musashizuka bus stop at 1 p.m. We waited for a bus to go to Fukuoka, but there are too many people. We could not ride in a bus easily, so we waited for about an hour. We went to Fukuoka airport first, then we changed from a bus to a subway. We arrieved at YAHOO DOME at 4:30 p.m. I went to YAHOO DOME for the first time. It was very big and there are a lot of people. I was looking forward to the live concert, because I like EXILE very much. This is the first time for me to go to the EXILE's live concert. I can usually watched them only on TV, but I could I enjoyed the live concert and I was so happy. I really want to go to the live concert next year too. After that, we wemt to a hotel but the hotel was very far from the YAHOO DOME. We took a lot of time to go to the hotel. We were very tired when we arrived at the hotel. So we went to bed as soon as possible. We had a very nice time today. We are going to go shopping tomorrow. I am looking forward to do shopping tomorrow.

BR 2-02: Lost Love


I read ‘Lost Love’. Jan Carew wrote it. I chose this book, because I was interested in the book’s title ‘Lost Love’. There are five stories in this book. These stories titles are Lost Love, The Doll, The Other Man, The Charm and Journey’s End. These are all different stories, but something strange happens in each stories. I am going to introduce the story of ‘Lost Love’ roughly.




I thought that this is a love story when I saw the story’s title Lost Love. However, this is not a normal love story. The main character of this story is a woman. One day, she was lost in the country with her car. Unfortunately, her car stopped because of a lack of petrol. Then, a girl came. She thought the girl was very pretty. So she spoke to her. She explained about her circumstance. The girl invited her to the country. So she went to the country with the girl. She thought something strange when she arrived at the country. She went to the girl’s house. There were the girl’s father, mother. They were very kind people. So she liked them very much. She had a nice time that day. In that night, the girl said “We have to say goodbye tonight. You have to go now.” She did not want to go, because she liked the girl very much and she could not understand why she had to go now. However she decided to go now. After that, she knew the fact. The girl that she met was a ghost, but she liked the girl very much. So she wanted to meet the girl again. After ten years past, she went to the country again.

I enjoyed reading this book. The stories were all interesting and strange. I want to read romance novel next.

Free- writing: A well-kept secret or little known aspect of Kumamoto

I chose the Kusunoki Summer Festival for next essay’s topic. This is a local summer festival. It held in August in Kusunoki central park every year. The park is near the Kusunoki junior high school. So many students of Kusunoki junior high school go to the festival. Also people who live in near the park go to the festival too. There are a lot of stands for example shaved ices with syrup on the top, grilled chickens, cotton candies miso soup and so on. In the festival, there are a lot of performances for example karaoke, performance by brass band and so on. I went to the festival every year when I was a junior high school student. I was looking forward it very much then.
