He likes dancing very much so he dance everytime and everywhere. Nora Clark is heroine. She is a student of the Meryland school and major in dance. She is a good daner and dreaming to go to famouse dance university. My favorite highlight is club scene. This scene's dance and songs are so fun. We can dance easily. From this time, Ther associated with Nora. Second, I like recital scene. Tyer and Nora's dance scene is very beautiful.

Next is "Step Up the Street". Main character is Andy. She really loves dancing. So Tyer recommend her to enter Meryland school. But she couldn't familiar with this school. After she joined Chase's dance team. Hero is Chase. He is a student of Meryland shool. He was boring everyday. That's because he wanted to dance with team but he always danced balett. So he gathered dance team in the shool. My favorite highlight is Tyer and Andy's dance battle. They battled at club. Andy danced very good but Tyer was better than her. They danced with trampoline. Salsa scene is cute scene. Andy and Chase danced Sals. Not only Andy is good at hiphop but also she is good at Salsa. Also Last dance scene is good too. Chase's team daned in rainy. A splash was amazing! Their dance and team work was fantastic. That was street dance!

He entered in New York university. He majored in enginnering. He really likes dance but he decided to quit dance. Then Luke scouted Moose to join his dance team. Camille was Moose's bestfriend. She entered in New York university too. She likedMoose ut he didn't notice about that. Camille entered Luke's dance team and she associated with Moose the last scene. My favorite highlight was water battle scene. This dance scene was so cool! Hiphop and breaking were very fantastic! And Moose and Camille's dance scene was very cute. They danced the song that was they met first and dance with. Also last dance scene was fabolouse. Luke's dance team fighted with Samurai team that was Luke's enemy.

BR 2-15: Wait and See (Wall, 2007)

"His hair was the same colour as mine!" (Wall, 2007, p.14)

Zak and his brother Adam are twins. They look very similar and people are always getting them mixed up. Sometimes, Zak's friend call him Adam and Adam's friend call him Zak. Zak don't want them to miss their names. One day, Zak came up on one idea.

He went to the hairdresser and let him change his hair colour. Then, his hair was red instead of blond. There was no way people would mix up Adam and him now. He couldn't wait for people to see how different he looked. The first person he saw was his sister Abby. She was surprised and laughted. Zak didn't know why she laughted. She said him "You will have to wait and see!"

The next person he saw was his mom. She was also surprised. Zak didn't know why she surprised. She smiled and said 'Wait and see..." His dad home from work. When he saw Zak, he dropped his bag. Zak asked his father why everyone so suprised. His father said "Wait until dinner time and then you will see.

When his mother called everyone. Zak walked down the hall and he wondered what Adam would think when he saw me. Everyone was at the dinner table. He stared at Adam and also Adam stared at Zak. His hair was the same colour! Their thinking was same. They dicided they wanted to look different. They always have the same ideas. Everyone started to laugh. And then, they decided to go back to blond. Adam's hair back to blond. In thier school, their friends call Adam 'Blondie' and call Zak 'Spike'.

I think that twins are very strong connection. Their mind is always same I think. When I was junior high school, I have twins friend. They were very similar. They were different class but if they change, we don't aware. But now they don't similar.

BR 2-14: The Jewellery Shop Robbery. (Reilly, 2007)

"The jewellery robbers are next door" (Reilly, 2007, p.14)

Eddie is a boy who is a student. When he was walking home from school, he was a lot of people outside the jewellery shop. He asked a woman what's going on. She said that the jewellery shop has been robbed and they took all jewellery. After he came home and watching TV. It said that people on the street had seen the men get away in a red car. When Eddie came home from school, he saw a red car parked outside the empty house next door. He thought that it must be the jewellery shop robber.

After that, he went outside to see a red car and the house next door. The red car was still parked there. And he heard a noise from the empty house. He looked inside this house, there were two men sitting at a table. And they were taking jewellery. Eddie was very surprised that.

Eddie moved away and he ran down the path. He said 'Mum, Mum! Call the police! The jewellery robbers are next door!' to his mother. But she didn't believe first what he said. Eddie talked his mother that it really true. She could see that he was not making it up and she called the police.

The police came to the house and they took the robbers away. The police said to Eddie 'You are going to make a good detective one day.'

I thought Eddie was a very brave boy. When he knew that the robber may still be the empty house, he went out quickly. If he didn't go, they didn't take away. I think he became very famouse boy in his school and his town. He saved his hometown!

Before Street Smart start to band, Jasmine was so nervous. And their turn came. They readied to band. Suddenly, there was a loud bang, and the power turned off. The school hall fell silent. Their face dropped. Suddenly, Molly came up on an idea. She asked them to sing 'Forever'. The one Jasmine played at my brother's wedding. This song don't need any power, so they can sing nothing instroments.

And they sung 'Foever'. The audience was listening really hard. When they finished singing, everyone jumped out of their seats and cheered like never before. Street Smart was surprised that. And the name of the winner of the Battle of the Bands competition was Street Smart!

BR 2-12: Time Travel: Ship Ahoy! (Branch, 2007)

"I can't wait to see where the time machine takes us this time" (Branch, 2007, p.9)

Georgia and Charlie are best friends. They had a time machine inside a tree trunk at the bottom of their garden. So they could go everywhere. For example, they backed to the time of the dinosaurs. Georgia really likeed adventure. On the other hand, Charlie was a bit afraid. When Georgia pressed a green button, the time machine took them to the ship in the port.

There were a lot of people who were waiting the ship. Then, there was standing on a dock looking at a big passenger ship. Suddenly, people turned to Georgia and Charlie. People talked them "Look at their clothes!" "Look at their hair!" and so on. People have never seen like their fashion. One boy who is rich boy introduced around the big ship to Georgia and Charlie. The boy is going to get on this ship because his aunt is taking him for his birthday.

Georgia looked at the ship in horror. It was written 'TITANIC'. She could not let him get on the ship. The boy really wanted to get on this ship but he couldn't get on. At last, the ship went away and the boy was so angry. Charlie didn't know why she couldn't let the boy to get on the ship. After they went back, she told him to tell the truth.

I liked this book. Last page was like a newspaper about TITANIC. It hitted an iceberg and more than 1500 people died when the ship sank. Georgia knew about that. The reason why she couldn't let the boy to get on it is this reason. She is smart and kind girl I thought. If the boy get on it, he would die.

I have ever watched 'TITANIC'. It was very sad movie. Jack fell in love with Rose and Rose did too. When Jack sank in the deep sea, I felt very sad. I watched this movie when I was 5 years old. At that time, I didn't know the story and I didn't know why the people were sad. When I grow up, I knew the reason. I think 'TITANIC' story was talked forever.

Draft essay posts 2-03: How I study language

I learn English for 8 years. Almost I have learned English at school. Grammar, listening, reading and writing. I think that speaking is the most important but I little learned speaking. Of course grammar and other things are important. However if I have to use speaking English, I will upset. Now I major in English but I only use English once a week; speaking class.

I think that to skill up speaking is to go to foreign country and don't use Japanese. When I went to Australia to home stay, there were no Japanese in host family. So I couldn't use Japanese. I understood what they said. I thought that I liked watching foeign movie or foeign drama TV. So I listen to English easily. My host mother said that 'You can hear what we say but you can't say what you want to say in English, can't you?' That's true. I couldn't say in English what I wanted to say. This time I decided that to study listening.

This spring vacation, I went to New York to study dance. Before I went there, I learned travel English. But I couldn't use that any more. Dance words are common language. So I could understand what teacher said and how to dance routine. I had one srogan then. It was 'make some friends'. I wanted to speak any people but I couldn't do that. If anyone spoke to me, I spoke as possible as I could. My speaking understood to foeign people. I was very happy then. Didn't make friends and spoke to people more was reglet things to me.

In America, there are a lot of imigrants. So there are a lot of reglects. Sometimes I didn't understand what language they said. I heard that Spanish is the second language which is spoken by American. There are a lot of imigrants especially in New York. I saw European, Asian and so on. Once, I talked with colonbian. He was good at speak English.

To go to foeign country, especially to be spoken that you want to speak anywhere country's language, is good for learning languages. To hear native language and don't use Japanese are more good.  Next year, I am going to go to study abroad to Australia for 4 months. I chosed the  shool taht there are little Japanese. So I can't use Japanese there. It will make me to skill up my English.

Of course I study English at school every day. But its boring. So I watch DVD or go to the movie thater or watch foreign TVchannnel. It is good tool study speaking and listening. Those channels have the latest word which young people use. I remember some prases. For example 'What's the hell?', 'I don't think so' and so on. I wish I can use those words frequentry.

How I have learnt languages

I learned English since I was elementary school. When I was 12 years old, I went to English school. There were Canadian teacher. She was very funny and very good teacher. I learned a lot of word from her. Her teach was singing and dancing, so I could learn easily. I remember that her hot cocoa was very delicious. In junior high school, I almost learn grammar and reading. At first I couldn't understand grammar. But I learned from my mother or home teacher and I could understand. While I was junior high school, my English score was over 40! (Max was 50). I was good at English, especially grammar and reading. In high school, English level were high. I had to learn a lot of words and grammar. It was so nervous and I felt that I didn't want to learn English sometimes. But I was 2 grade, I went to Australia. It was very good experience for me. I spoke to homestay's family and school children. I enjoyed very much there. But this time I found one thing. I could listen to English that someone spoke but I couldn't speak that I want to say. So I decided that I had to learn speaking more at that time. 3 grade, I had to decide where to go to university. I wanted to go to Kenritsu University. But I don't know why I decided there. I fell there and I passed KGU. Now, I glad to come to KGU and I am happy to learn English. I can speak with foreign country people. Other, I am cram school teacher. I teach them that you have to remember a lot of words and remember text book. I find how student understand English. When I hear 'I got it!', I feel so happy and

I watched 'X-MEN: First Class' last week on DVD. I wanted to watch on movie but I had no time to go to movie theater. It was very interesting movie.

In 1994, Eric was captured by Schmitt. He wanted Eric to join his friends because he can handle iron. But Eric rejected. So Schmitt killed Eric's mother and Eric felt very angry. On the other hand, Charles who can use telepathy met Leiven in his house. Riven can change anything human. And they became good friends.

About 10 years later, they became adult. Eric still wanted to kill Sebastian who's name was  Schmitt before. Charles became a professor and Leiven became his assistant. One day Charles heard that someone will use mutant and will happen to the world war III. So he gathered some mutants and taught to fight. The mutants are Hunk, Angele Salvatole, Shone, Alex and so on. They were no friend because around people didn't want to get together with them. But this time they had good friends for the first time. And Charles had Eric to join him. At first he rejected to Charles but they became good friends after that.

At last Charles team: X-MEN fought with Sebastian. They were very strong but X-MEN's team works won them. And Eric killed Sebastian. His dream came true. Their fight ended. But not yet. That's because human attacked them. Eric was angry to them but Charles wanted to became friendly with human. So their think were different. Their bond was ended.

Essays 2-02b: Legend of Robin Hood!!

There are a lot of Robin hood’s movies. Everything Robin Hood are very cool man, we thought. Robin was brave man. Both of movies: Russell Crowe and Kevin Costner version’s Robin are very cool. 2 of movies are a little different story. But we talk that we wached movie was so fantastic. They have a sturdy body so we thought that all over the world’s women fell in love to them.

In Russel Crowe version, Robin was one of the army of crusaders. But Richard King was killed. When he’s on the way back home he sees Robert Rocsre Loxley assassination spot. And he goes to Nottingham Palace reach the sword heeting Robert wills. He decide where to live as Robert. This time, Little John was friend. But after fight, he betrayed Robin. Rocsre liked Robin and he let Robin to get marry with Marian. Richard King was killed, so Little John became the King. He tagged with Robin and they fighted with French. Robin killed French’s leader. However Little John let his retainer to catch him. He afraid of him. So Robin lived Sherwood Forest with Marian and his friends. Gum was very self contered. He got everything he wanted but he couldn’t get Marian. Marian was forced to marry with Gum but she loved Robin very much.

In Kevin Costner version, Robin was cathed by Jerusalem at first. But he escaped with Aseem and to go to England where is Robin was born. When they reached England of Robin’s land, there are robbed by Gum. Gum is very bad man. Not only Gum robbed his land but also he killed Robin’s father. So Robin went to Sherwood Forest to link up with there people. And Robin and Sherwood Forest people fighted with Gum’s army. This version, Robin and Marian’s relationship was childhood friend. And they loved each other. Not only Robin is brave man but also Marian is brave woman.

Favorite scene was kiss scene, fight, meet brother and marry scene. In kiss scene, Kevin Costner version, Robin and Marian have been couple so they met since 10 years, they kissed each other. Russell Crowe version, they didn’t know each other and Marian had husband. But her husband died and Loxly let her to get marry with Robin. First, they don’t love each other, but more and more they know each other, they fell in love. Before they go to fight, they kissed at the first time. Fight scene was very intereting. Robin is a master hand of arrow. Russell Crowe version, when Robin shoot arrow from so far,it hit bad man! It was amaging! Meet brother scene is Kevin Costner version. Sherwood’s one boy don’t like Robin at first. That’s because he was Robin’s step brother. When Robin knew that, he was very happy. His family is only step brother. It was tear scene when they hugged. Russell Crowe version was no marry scene. But in Kevin Costner version has marry scene. It was very impressed scene. In thier ceremony, Richerd King came to thier ceremony. Both of movies’ ending were defferent but we liked both. 

Especially Kevin Costner version, there were a lot of forest scene. Robin and Sharwood Forest people fighted with Gum’s follower in Sharwood Forest. As they know Sharwood Forest, they could entrap easily. And this movie’s last fight scene was at cathle. But Russell Crowe version’s last fight scene was at beach. So fight hard though the route between boat and boat. Castle was memorable for Kevin virsion’s Robin. Unfortunately when he came to there, his father has already died. He felt sad at that time. Russel Crowe version’s Robin’s castle was new place for him. He lived with Marian and Rocsre.

Both of two version’s last were different. Kevin Costner version, Robin and Gum’s fighting scene was thrilling. And Aseem fighted with witch who is Gum’s mother. Robin killed Gum and also Aseem killed witch. After the fight, Robin and Marian married in Sharwood forest. And then, Rechard came their ceremony and congratulate their marry. Russell Crowe version: whether Robin cooperated Gum, Gum betrayed Robin. So Robin, his friends and Marian escaped from him. When Aseem fighted with witch, it was awfle. She was so scary woman. And Robin’s plan was perfect. Expect for a boy didn’t realise Robin’s brother. A married couple were good team work.

There are a lot of Robin Hood movie. We watched Robin Hood was very good story and it was impressed us. Each Robin Hood story is different. Also character, place, relationship is different. But we think that every Robin Hood serises are good story. After we watched Robin Hood, we searched about Robin Hood. He is known for famous arrow. But relationship was little different. For example, Little John accepted Robin to join to him. He wanted to become retainer. It is surprised for us.

One day Tess auditioned Ali and she became dancer. She practiced dance very hard. Nikki who is the star of burlesque lounge couldn't be on the stage. That's because she was drinking before the dance. So Ali danced a substituted for her. During dancing and singing, Nikki put out of the mike's code. So Ali and the other dancer coudn't sing. Tess let staff to close curtain but suddenly Ali sung with no mike. Everyone was surprised that and of course Tess too. Tess let staff to rise the curtain. The stage was succeed and Ali became the star of burlesque.

I really liked the movie. Christina Aguirala's dance and her voice was so amaging. There is a love story too. Jack who is bartender was dreaming to become famouse song writer. And he had a fiancee. But he fell in love with Ali. So he parted his fiancee and keep up with Ali. They were very good cuple I thought.

BR 2-08: Rescue!

"Where will the magic take us this time?" (Hunt, 2001, p.1)

Wilf and Biff were blowing bubbles. Suddenly the magic key began to glow. And then, the magic took them to a flat rocky place. They didn't know where they are. One aeroplane came to their land. Then, the pilot climbed out of the wrecked plane. It was Princess Aisha. Biff and Wilf had met her before in another adventure. The why she came the land was to rescue her sister, Lisa. So Biff and Wilf went with her to help Lisa. She was thick walls and heavy doors.

Aisha throw a rope up to Lisa and she cathed it. While Lisa climb down, Biff and Wilf was watching if someone's coming. Bad things was coming, someone is coming! Then Wilf had and idea. He remembered the bubble kit and began to blow bubbles. Men have never seen such a huge bubbles, they chased after them. Finally, they rescued Lisa and Wilf and Biff came back to home. Now, they are finding next adventure.

The book was very easy to read. I thought that the key is like the dokodemo door. It means Doraemon's tool. It can take people to the place that they want to go. If I had it, I go anywhere. For example New York!! When I feel sad, I would like to go my boyfriend's house!lol I wish that they will have good time next adventure.

My favorite shoes

I like shoes very much. So I have a lot of shoes. In summer, I wear a pair of sandals. And in winter, I wear a pair of boots. When I choose shoes, I have to choose clothes that much with shoes. It is very difficult for me to choose those. The fashionable shoes are make me happy. If the shoes are not good, I feel bad. These days, I want the mouton boots. That's because it is flat and warm. I look for it when I go shopping, but there is no mouton boots that I liked.

Also my dance shoes is NIKE. It is very good for dance. I bought it last year. The reason why I bought it was strange shape and color. Hight cut shoes are very good for dance. Another, I have a lot of shoes for dance. For jazz, I wear the heel, like socks, jazz shoes and jazz sneaker. I wear those shoes that each song.

My favorite class

My favorite dessert class is English linguistics. That's because I learn about English that I didn't know how to use English. I was surprised each the class.

For example, about 'Good morning'. We know this mean is 'Ohayou' in Japanese. I have never think about this words' grammer. But the word has grammer. The sentence pattern is 4th sentence pattern. The sentence pattern of 'Good morning' is 'I wish you a good morning.' Another, 'Good evening' is 'I wish you a good morning'. You know that 'I wish you a merry christmas' don't you? So those words are leaved out.

Last week, I learned that American almost use 'of' or 'the' in sentences. So I have to use those words when I write blog. And almost students use 'want' or 'can' in their blog. It is wrong. We don't have to use those words often. I often use those words. So I don't have  to use those.

This class makes me to think about how to use English. I am looking forward to learn in the class.

My favorite vacation memory

My favorite vacation memory is to go to Australia when I was high school student. It was the first time to go to Australia and to join homestay program. The city I went was Cohuna. It is very rural city. It is very far from downtown. When I went to downtown, it taked about 2 hours by car.

My family was very kind to me. There are mother, father and 2 sisters. One of sister was same age. Her name is Sarah. So we became friend soon. We watched 'Sex and the City' in her room, play billiards and went shopping. I really like her and we touch in contact now. I played billiards for the first time. First, I couldn't play well. But finally, I could play it. Since this time, I like to play billiards very much. Also I rode horse for the first time. The horse's name is Rusty. He was very cute. To ride Rusty was very difficult for me. When he begin running, I feel afraid. Younger sister: Megan was very good to ride a horse. Rusty is her horse. She has got prize. My house was farm, so they have a lot of cows. I helped father but I couldn't help. That's because cows were very scary. So I run with dog.

I also went to school. I went there by school bus. In the school, I could have a lot of friends. They were very kind. When I didn't know how to go to classroom, they went there with me. I studied math with same or one younger students. It was so easy. Maybe I learned it when I was junior high school.

In Australia, I had very good experiences. Next year, I will go to Australia to study English. I want to meet Sarah and her family at that time.

When they reached England of Robin’s land, there are robbed by Gum. Gum is very bad man.  Not only Gum robbed his land but also he killed Robin’s father. So Robin went to Sherwood Forest to link up with there people. And Robin and Sherwood Forest people fighted with Gum’s army. This version, Robin and Marian’s relationship was childhood friend. And they loved each other. Not only Robin is brave man but also Marian is brave woman.

Favorite scene was kiss scene, fight, meet brother and marry scene. In kiss scene, Kevin Costner version, Robin and Marian have been couple so they met since 10 years, they kissed each other. Russell Crowe version, they didn’t know each other and Marian had husband. But her husband died and Loxly let her to get marry with Robin.

Especially Kevin Costner version, there were a lot of forest scene. Robin and Sharwood Forest people fighted with Gum’s follower in Sharwood Forest. As they know Sharwood Forest, they could entrap easily. And this movie’s last fight scene was at cathle. But Russell Crowe version’s last fight scene was at beach. So fight hard though the route between boat and boat.

Both of two version’s last were different. Kevin Costner version, Robin and Gum’s fighting scene was thrilling. And Aseem fighted with witch who is Gum’s mother. Robin killed Gum and also Aseem killed witch. After the fight, Robin and Marian married in Sharwood forest. And then, Rechard came their ceremony and congratulate their marry. Russell Crowe version: whether Robin cooperated Gum, Gum betrayed Robin. So Robin, his friends and Marian escaped from him.
