And we draw pictures of romantic dish and family dish. I draw the steak with potato and carrot　as romantic dish then draw an omlet containing fried rice with corn soup as family dish.

We're going to discuss our new restaurant tomorrow.

★Interchange★

Yesterday when I was having lunch with some of my friends in the student cafeteria, a students studying abroad sit behind us. I glancing at them, we looked at each other.

"What are you drinking now?" I asked and the man came to me.
"What's your name?" he asked me and I answered.

It was the first meeting of he and I.

After we waved good-bye there we met again on the campus. We were talking for a while and we exchanged our E-mail addresses.

To speak English better, I have to practice talking in English repeatedly.

See you again!!

★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.

★Today's class★

This was the first English speaking class today.
I was very happy to meet my classmates and my teacher.

Today's topic was Vacation. I found someone who wanted to go Okinawa during vacation but couldn't. In the fact, I was also going to Okinawa for club activity but I couldn't because I went to the driving school during this summer vacation. So I understood her regret very well.

Then we were divided into small groups. Our group's job is to make a restaurant. I decided that our restaurant type was pasta & pizza, that our restaurant name was Picklino, that recommended dishes were Spaghetti & pickles, Pickles pizza and Chocolate pizza. We have still a lot of things to decide so we will discuss another day.

See you again!!
