I expect that "Great Expectations" is an interesting story

We read a book, "Great Expectations" by Charles Dickens in my writing class.

 I expect that it would be an interesting story because Dickens is a great author who wrote famous  "Christmas Carol".  

A boy, Pip, who lost his parents, is frightened by a convict, steals food and gives it to him. 　    

Can guns protect people's lives?

I wonder if guns can really protect people.

I oppose to the idea that people should have weapons such as guns because people sometimes make a mistake.

Years ago, a Japanese student was shot to be killed by mistake in the United States in the Halloween night. He entered someone's property to ask the way to his friend's house, not understanding the word "Freeze!" and was shot by the property owner. 

If the owner had not had a gun, he wouldn't have to die. I wish guns were prohibited among ordinary people.   

US Open Tennis

We went to the US open tennis the other day. Japanese tennis player Nishioka is nineteen years old but he was good. I hope he’ll become bigger. I’m sorry that Nishikori lost the game and we couldn’t see his game. Federer’s backhand was beautiful !

 

Thank you all (P.S.)

Our class has been nice because we had excellent teachers and nice classmates.

When we played vocabulary game, Sue added "art by Nadia" to my drawing. We laughed.

Do you remember the word for the picture bellow? It was "assist" from chapter 1.

We had a lot of fun. Thank you, Sue and my classmates ! See you soon!

Japan Day (Chapter 7)

My family and I went to "Japan Day" festival in Cetral Park the other day.

There were a lot of artists' paformances such as Japanese drums, live painting of Mount Fuji, dancing, and so on.

But our aim was to see the AKB48. Do you know them? They are currently the most popular Japanese idle singer group.

Their fashion style is regarded to be influenced by the subculture from Akihabara, Tokyo, such as cute girls animations and cartoons, which is very popular among the young generation.

I tried to approach the AKB's stage closer, but a lot of people were in front of me. I took some pictures and videos of AKB. It was really an exciting stage.

 

   

 

A World Traverer (Chapter 6)

Our guest, Kazuto, stayed with my family for five days this week. He is a son of my friend's friend.

He has been traveling around the world since June last year. I think his challenge is an extermely wonderful concept.

He has already been to 50 countries in Europe, Asia, Africa, South America and North America.  I was astonished.

The United States was the last country for him to visit.  He went back to Japan today. I was glad to know him.

Research Paper (Chapter 5)

When I entered graduate school three years ago, I wanted to contribute to useful research on children and school teachers.

I had to write one hundred pages, and quoted many literarures in my research paper. My passion for researching faded because I was under strong pressure.

When my data disappeared, I was so shocked that I wanted to wander around downtown. But, I could find spare data. So, I graduated.
