★A part-time job★

Yesterday I first did a part-time job in a cake shop.
I was so nervous because the first time to do a part-time job.
First, I wore a uniform which has ten buttons then I was braced up.
After that, I washed my hands, as I was told by a shop manager.
Then I broke some eggs, cut circles out of the whole surfaces of a few flat sponge cakes, removed frozen pies from molds, put cut sponge cakes on fresh cream and poured a bowl of water into a watering pot.
And more, I was taught how to serve customers by an senior by three years.
I'll do my part-time job every Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturday.
I'm very looking forward to working from now on.

See you again!!

★Today's class★

The topic was Advice in English Speaking class today.

I wrote "You have to save money." on the blackboard. After that I found someone who has a messy room. I gave her an advice "Why don't you clean your room?" In fact I also have a messy room so I should clean my room, too.

We discussed our new restaurant and made a Restaurant Menu Planning Sheet. There were seven questions on the paper. The first question was "What kind of restaurant have you chosen? What is your restaurant's name?" and we answered it's Pasta&Pizza then the name of our restaurant is Picklino. The second question was " What are the important characteristics of a menu for the restaurant you have chosen?" and we answered almost dishes they serve were made with pickles. The third question was " What detail make sense for food items?" and we answered pickles, spaghetti, flour chocolate and so on. The forth question was " Does the menu go beyond simply naming the food item? What kind of names are used?" but we didn't understand the question so we've not answered the question yet. The fifth question was " What typeface best fits the menu? How large should it be?" and we answered it's pop character then the size is large enough to read for old people. The sixth question was " What colors belong on the menu? How do the color s relate to the other elements of the menu?" and we answered green, red and white then the colors relate to Italy. The last question was " What kind of images would best represent the restaurant and why? How do the images on the menu relate to the food and the restaurant?" and we answered it's pickles because the store manager loves pickles very much then they serve dishes containing plenty of pickles.

★The best supper★

I went to the store named Kentucky fried chicken for supper with my boyfriend after school today. Since we went there after a long time, I was in high spirits.

I ordered a fried chicken, shoestring potatoes and iced tea with syrup.

We enjoyed talking while eating such foods we ordered.

We had a wonderful time there.

★A parade through the city★

Yesterday all the circles of culture in our school paraded through the city for publicity purposes. What were the publicity of? It's our school festival called Takumasai. We're going to have it on the 1st, 2nd and 3rd of November in 2007.

We had been preparing for the parade since this summer vacation. We had made our own costumes and a portable shrine together. It had been so hot that it had been hotter in our club room. It was as hot as if one had been in a sauna but we tried to make costumes and a portable shrine as hard as our can. In spite of having class the next days, we worked till at ten p.m..

The appointed day arrived at last. Boys members carried our portable shrine to Shirakawa Park from at five thirty and girls members cleaned our workshop from at six thirty. After that we girls members put on costumes and put on makeup carefully. We put on red eye shadow and black eyeliner to the diagonally above as if we had been dragon tamers after for our portable shrine whose theme was a powerful white dragon. And then we put our hair up and painted our nails red. Boys members also put on makeup meant to give impressions of dragon tamers. I found making up, a person change very much.

After an opening ceremony we left our school. It was a fine day and we walked in the afternoon sun so we're dying of thirst. We had something to drink twice only when we rested at Shirakawa Park. We bathing in the sun on our way to our school, our back were very red.

We had a wonderful time because of having been taking great pains until yesterday. Now my back and shoulders hurt due to getting sunburned but this has become a pleasant memory for me.
