BR 2-12: Vanishing Cream

I read the book titled Vanishing Cream. The children made a little theater. The title of the play was Wizard Blot. A wizard and a frog appeared on the stage. I had a feeling that I have read the story on a certain book. I have put on a play titled Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. I played a cat in it. I put on a gorgeous orange dress and danced on the stage. It was when I was a kindergarten pupil. Those were lovely times.

The children went to the Wizard Blot’s house in this book. His house was so dirty, and he ordered the children to tidy up the room. If they did not do, he was going to turn them into frogs. It so scared to me. They washed dishes, vacuumed a room, iron clothes, dusted shelves and polished the floor. When they waxed the floor, they touched the vanishing cream, and their bodies were vanished. It made me feel funny. A thief came to the house and was surprised at that the clothes were walking. They repulsed the thief and saved the computer disks. I was glad to see that.

I thought this story was not possible. Did the bodies vanish? How could it be? Oops, I had a distorted view of them, he-he. I also want to use such a cream once. If my body were vanished, what will I do? It seems very interesting.

BR 2-11: The Christmas Disco

I read the book titled The Christmas Disco. Two teachers decorated a tree. It was the Christmas tree. We also decorated one during this Christmas season. My mother decorated it. It had colorful balls such as pink, green, gold, white, blue and red. It also had pinecones. They are artificial but so pretty. It had no star on the top and had big golden bell with red ribbons instead. I felt an atmosphere of Christmas so much. There were a lot of another Christmas ornaments in my house. For example red and white poinsettias, pinecones in a woven basket, small woody Christmas tree, an earthenware Santa Claus, a Christmas wreath on the door and jellylike plates shaped Santa Claus on the refrigerator. Christmas was over, but they are still setting, he-he.

The people went to the Christmas disco at certain home. There were a lot of Christmas presents, dishes and the music was being played there. The children danced to music. They looked so fun. In my case, I was not at home on the Christmas day. I went out with my boyfriend on the day. I had dinner in a ramen shop at DIAMOND CITY CLAIR. We ordered pig bones ramens. They were so delicious. I was gave a pair rings as a Christmas present by him. They were made of stainless steel, so I thought he hopes our rustproof relationship, he-he. I gave him a muffler colored green, which was his favorite. Both were happy.

In the book they use so much electrical power that the power supply was cut off. It made me feel fun. They borrowed a lot of torches from a variety of houses and use them for lights instead of light bulbs. They looked so happy then. It seemed that they spent a wonderful Christmas day.

BR 2-10: Gran

I read the book titled Gran. Gran was the name of children’s grandmother in the book. She looked 70 or more years old. However she was so tough and strong. She drove her old car. I have my driving license, and I sometimes drive my parents’ car. I can drive the car now, but will I be able to do after fifty years? I may be unable to drive. Gran still had strong legs, which made me surprised.

The children liked her so much. I also like my grandmother. I go to her house when I have time. She has a regular health problem, but she greets me with a smile, which makes me happy. Playing inside with children, Gran broke the flower vase. Playing outside, she broke the window. She is a real scatterbrain, but she is pretty and cute.

She too the children to the place just like a recreation park. There was a jumping castle, which was a playground equipment made of balloon. I would often play in the place like that when I was a child. The jumping castle was for only children, but Gran played there, too. Knitting needles which she had fell and pierced in the castle. The needle let the air out of the castle. An employee got angry with her, and they had to go home soon. She was really depressed at the failure of her behavior, but I thought the children looked fun, so it was good letting it alone.

BR 2-09: The New Baby

I read the book titled The New Baby. Jo was expecting a baby. She was big with child. It looked so heavy. Everyone was excited about a new baby. If I were she, my family, friends of mine, my husband, my relatives and else would be pleased probably. However if I was expecting a baby now, everybody might get angry with me, he-he. I go to the university now, so I must just study. After graduating, I want to get married and to be expecting a baby. But before that, I should find employment hard.

If people who are close to me were expecting babies, I wonder what I will think and will do. I’ll buy something for babies such as socks, wool mittens, knitted hats, clothes and toys. If I were them, of course I will do like this. It may be that I knit a pair of socks, a pair of mittens, a hat and so on.

The children made a book about babies. It said what babies did and what they like. They cry a lot, sleep, make noise, feed and play. They like teddy, rattle, Rusk, a nice cozy cot and bath. The children made a big chart. It was a list of everyone’s hope of the new baby’s sex, weight and name. The new baby was girl, so her mother chose the name Vicky of all names. The name was Chip’s idea. Both mother and child were doing well. It made me so glad. It’s hard to take care of babies, but I still want babies. I’m looking forward to my babies in my future.

BR 2-08: Village in the Snow

I read the book titled Village in the Snow. Mrs. May read a story about a village in the mountains to children. The book was profusely illustrated. White snow was very beautiful in it. When I was a high school student we went on a school excursion to Gifu, Kyoto and Osaka. We set off on a skiing trip for a couple of days in Gifu. There were a lot of skiing instructors there. We divided into small groups and were showed how to ski by them. I still remember the person whose name was Hidehito Shimomi. He was so nice guy, so all of our group members liked him. We cried he was cool and good each and every mouth. He showed us how to ski kindly. We took pictures with him during an intermission. We enjoyed so much then. The time when we had to say goodbye each other finally came. Some members said goodbye between sobs. I was surprised to see they were crying at that time. Even I did not cry then. I said goodbye with a smile. It was good memory at this juncture.

In the book the children had a snowball fight. I have done it before, so it looked so interesting. The snowballs were cool, but moving activity, we got warm gradually. I want to do the fight again in the much snow. According to the weather forecast it will snow this weekend. It seems to be cold, but I am looking forward to these days a little. For the snow is very beautiful to me.

BR 2-07: The Dragon Tree

I read the book titled The Dragon Tree. Children read the book which was the same title as the book I read. The book was about a dragon, so one of the children could not read it because he did not like the dragon. It made me feel cute. He asked his older brother to read the book for him, and he accepted it. He liked dragons. The older sister was listening to music then, and some of the CDs dispersed on the floor. I worried that they will be scratched.

Magic key took the children to a wood. It was dark, and the atmosphere made me feel sick. I am unbelievably hopeless when it comes to knowing directions, so if I were them, I will be frightened and cry there. A dog they had was really scared and ran out of the wood. The place where he entered was, believe or not, the dragon tree! The dog was caught by dragon. It was going to cook using the dog. The dish it would make was dog stew. How frightening it was! All three of the children pulled together and rescued their dog from the dragon. I was glad to see that the dog was saved his life.

By the way the dragon lived in the big tree, but the entrance was too small for the dragon. I wondered how the dragon went in and out and what it was doing always. How it caught the dog? Any way I felt easy to know that the dog was safe.

BR 2-06: Mum to the Rescue

I read the book titled Mum to the Rescue. A family went to a car boot sale. I have never been to such a place, so I wanted to do that. They bought a dinghy. It was just like a lifeboat. I thought it looked be useful to save lives. What was surprising is that the dinghy was broken. It was an inferior good, but the sale was a car boot sale, so I thought that it was what could not be helped.

They put everything in the dinghy, and it looked heavy so much. They went on a picnic by the dinghy, and it looked so fun to me. They found a good place for the picnic, and they put the rug down, where they ate some foods. They ate meal looking comfortable, so I wanted to do so, too. It looked really comfortable to eat foods at the water’s edge, and it seemed that the air was bracing very much. I wanted to go on a picnic with my family, friends of mine or my boyfriend. I have gone to see the cherry blossoms with my family at a park before. We had a very good time there, so I want to do in the next spring, too.

In the book mother put the dinghy in the river and paddled to the boat in dangerous. She looked so brave person to me. The lady whose boat was in danger was glad to have her boat helped by mother. To show her gratitude for being helped by mother, she lent the family her boat. They had a holiday on the boat, which looked so happy. I thought helping people was really important for us, and I will help people when I find people who were in trouble hereafter.

I read the book titled Scarecrows. The house had a little garden. I also have a little one. There are some flowers such as azaleas, pansies, begonias and tulips. During this season tulips do not bloom, but in springs they are in beautiful bloom. My mother takes care of them usually, but I sometimes help her to do so. Biff and Chip planted seeds and put in plants. I thought what kind of seeds were. I wonder they were vegetables or fruits. If they have been seeds of flowers, what were kind of flowers?

Since the birds liked the garden ate the seeds, children decided to make a scarecrow. That was very good idea, and I wanted to do so together. I have never seen scarecrows are been making, so I wanted to know how to make one. Children and their mother made it together, so I thought they were happy parent and children. My family is also like this. I often help her to cook dinners. She looks very glad to be helped to do by me. I am also glad to see her, so I want to help her more.

In this book the scarecrow started to move suddenly, which made me so surprised. More he began to talk to the children. It was shock to me. However he was pretty, so I recognized this fact.

BR 2-04: A New Classroom

I read the book titled A New Classroom. When I was a junior high school student, construction work was carried out. There were a lot of fences on a building. The building was being new, but it was so noisy. The students said such things then. I was so glad to see that the new building was completed perfectly. We could study in the new classroom. In this book a lorry, a digger and a crane came to the school, but in my case something did not come to our school very much. It was just noisy, he-he. As it was a troublesome under construction, the joyfulness was really big to me after the construction. Because of this, I could understand the children’s feelings. The children were thinking why a variety of cars came to the school, what they were going to do and what they would construct. I did the same things at that time.

In this book building which was like a new classroom was put up, but something was wrong certainly. I did not notice at the beginning, but the more progress they made, I noticed more. The classroom was upside down! How could it be? I was bursting for incredible thing. If I were the teachers, I will get angry with people who constructed the classroom. Any way it was unbelievable.

They went to a farm, but if we were them, we will go to a camping ground. The family put up a new tent. I have put it up before, when as a class, we went camping last summer. It so difficult for us to put up tents, but we could do without any problems.

There were a lot of cows in the farm, and they were cows in milk. I often drink some glasses of milk in the mornings, so I appreciated these cows so much when I read the book. I like cool milk, but I do not like hot milk because hot milk gives out a bad smell to me. I feel sick as soon as I give a sniff to it, so I endure when I use hot milk in cooking.

Mrs. Jones was expecting a baby, so I was really envious of her. I want a baby very much and want to marry soon. I wonder when I will get marry and who I will do with. I am looking forward to the day when I will do so.

In the book there was a storm in camping. I thought why they went camping on such a day. Please check the weather forecast! There was insufficient attention in the parents.

The baby was born safely. He was a boy and so cute. I got wanted baby more.

BR 2-02: A Monster on the Streert

There would be a crash! If I were there, what can I do? The piano was lumbering towards some people, and the man on top was shouting. Such a thing cannot have occurred at all. I could not believe it. Quick! Give me their jumpers. When they pulled off their jumpers, I just grabbed the jumpers and threw them into the middle of the road. They probably think that what I am going to do first. But this is my plan. Donut demanded that what I did that for. He was staring at his best jumper. However, it might not work, but it was the only thing I could think of. They watched with popping eyes as the piano thundered down the road. It was so interesting to me. The other removal men chased after it, and my thinking was like this, too. A man was so shocked he fell off his bike, so I was really sorry to see him. One of the piano wheels hit the pile of jumpers, so I thought go more! The wheel jammed as one jumper was dragged round and round and the piano lumbered across the road, so I thought it was so strange. The man on top still yelled, and he slid across the lid and was thrown clear, so I felt easy, but on the other side, I thought it was really pity. The piano skidded to one side and came to a stop, so I thought he looked painful. The removal man came running up, panting hard, and I thought he was so tough. That was a very clever thing to do. Ben looked happy, too. They were very lucky it worked. I thought don’t ever ask the one to move a piano again.

By this time a small crowd had come to see what all the fuss was about. Donut and Cleo’s parents came running down the road, so I thought he was loved them at all. Cassandra Pringle looked rather like Cleo, only bigger, so I thought it was not good very much. She had long dark hair too, and lots of bangles, so I wanted to make myself look attractive. Mrs. Pringle swept Cleo into her arms, so I felt happy. She kissed Cleo again and again, and I thought it was good thing very much. Mrs. Pringle’s giant earrings kept banging in Cleo’s face, so it looked irritating. Cleo struggled to escape, and I thought it was funny. Cleo wanted to be called her a queen rather than a princess, but if I were she, I do not think so.

Mrs. Pringle was not good at cooking, so I did not want to eat some her dishes. She was a terrible cook, but she did not think that she is good at cooking. I also like to cook, and I think I am good at cooking more than she at least. She made the peanut butter omelets to the children, and it looked so bad. The children wanted to eat them, and I will do like that, too.

BR 2-01: Ben and the Ghost

First, I wondered why Mr and Mrs King were going out for the night. But they did had an invitation card to a dinner and dance party. The Kings were dressed up as ghosts, but I will be dressed up as a princess. Ben said Kings did not look scary at all, I also thought they looked funky rather than scary. Tessa thought it was silly to go to a party looking like a ghost. I thought Tessa was not wrong. She would dress up like a pop star, and I thought it was also good. I expected that she did not want to be seen dead dressed like a grotty ghost. It was nice to know that Ben and Tessa were so proud of their parents.

Mr and Mrs King were going to sleep at the hotel overnight, and I also wanted to go to beautiful and clean hotel then to fall asleep. Ben and Tessa were going to stay with their grandparents, Big G and Little G, and I thought they were cowards and cute. Little G gave Ben a hug and a big kiss, so I felt envious of their love, but he wiped his cheek. I thought he did not like kisses. Mrs King smiled at him and gave him an even bigger kiss, and I thought Mrs King was funny and humorous. Ben fell to the floor because he had been kissed by a ghost.

I was surprised to see rain fall from the sky like a giant waterfall, suddenly. It was easy to change the weather as I thought. The four of them raced up the road and burst into the house, and I have done like this before, too. They stood in the hallway with water dripping from their clothes, so it looked really cold, and I worried if they got cold. They looked as if they have been swimming.

Ben and Tessa did not have any dry clothes to change into, so that was too bad. They had to wear their pajamas, but I thought it was only natural that it should came to this. Big G and Little G hung up the children's wet clothes to dry, so I thought they were still kind to the children. Big G and Little G went to change their clothes and were wearing pajamas too. The pattern on their pajamas was so unique; like a traditional Japanese handball or a lemon and a ball of fire or a comma-shaped bead. I thought only their party was going to be a Pajama Party!

The table in the front room was loaded with food, and it looked and smelled wonderful, so I got hungry so much then. After they had finished eating Big G put some music on, and he began to whirl Tessa round the room, so I felt like dance and sing soon. They could not stop laughing during the party, and I thought it was good to laugh together.

When bedtime came Ben and Tessa were worn out, and they were both fast asleep soon, so I got sleepy, too. In the middle of the night Ben woke up, so I expected he had to go to the lavatory. I could not explain why but for some reason he could not remember where he was. He stared into the darkness, and I gulped. A white shape drifted past the end of the bed, so I was very scared. Ben's hair stood on end, so I thought it was a ghost! There was a ghost in the bedroom! Tessa woke up and began screaming, and then I was much more scared. She could not see the ghost, but she screamed anyway, and I thought I also have done like this if I were she.

Big G and Little G ran into the bedroom and switched on the light, so I felt easy a little. What was the matter? Little G hugged Ben tightly, and this time he did not mind at all, so I also wanted to be hugged by Little G. My heart was still banging. What was the true form of an apparition?

The answer was Ben's T-shirt. It made me feel easy but what a pity a little. It was interesting that Ben's T-shirt was scarier than his parents. That was the time to be able to get some sleep. Goodnight everyone!

Website Review: The Hard Life Of Chocolate

Chocolate is popular among almost all people now. I also love chocolate very much. We eat one for a snack, use as subtle seasoning designed to bring out the flavor and use as ingredient in many foods or sweets.

Chocolate we eat usual is sweet, but the start of one is seed which is not sweet. It is cacao (kah KOW) which is a tropical tree with seeds that are used to make chocolate and cocoa; the seeds from this tree. I have never seen cacao, but I have known it color is yellow, and it is not sweet. The cacao tree grows in the shade of tropical rain forests near the equator. It is rain forests as expected. Other normal trees don’t stand strong heat, but cacao tree is very strong. The cacao comes a really long way to sweet chocolate from the vast forces of nature for everyone who desires a feeling of happiness.

Cacao trees are very fussy about environment where they grow. Cacao which can become delicious chocolate does not grow without being fulfilled 6 conditions. First, they need regular rainfall, so it is difficult for them to grow on sunny days. Secondly, they need steady warm temperatures, so if they are in Japan on winter, they will be annihilated. Thirdly, they need constant high humidity, so it will be a hell for them to live on a desert. Fourthly, they need partial shade. They avoid direct sunlight and do not emit humidity. Fifthly, they need rich and well-drained soil. Good soil is very important to grow good cacao trees. Finally, they need canopy trees to protect plants from wind and moisture loss. For wonderful trees, that everything throws a spanner into the growth must not absolutely. I wondered that the number of perfect cacao trees is small under these many conditions. Chocolate we eat as usual is very precious thing in a certain sense.

Researchers worry about a possible chocolate shortage in the future as I have expected. Cacao grows almost on small family farms. If they grow on large farms, there are a variety of crop or anything else, so the people who live there does not care cacao trees very well. Cacao trees should be cared really enough by farmers.

Having researched about growing chocolate, I found and noticed it is hard to complete perfect chocolate and that chocolate should be preserved carefully. The more I know one, the more I love it.

BR 1-14: Wendy Worm's Adventure

One day, there was a very big storm. I was frightened to read this story. The wind blew all the leaves away. I want to pick them up. The wind blew all the flowers away. I wanted to see the storm of falling flowers. The wind blew the bird's nest away. I was sorry to think birds. The wind blew Wendy Worm away, too. I wanted to see the worm flying in the sky.

The storm was all over. I felt easy. The wind went away, but Wendy Worm knew she was lost. I would cry if I were you. Wendy Worm looked up. I recognized the worm was she. A crab appeared. I wanted to crab's dishes, he-he.

That was too bad not to be able to go home. I wondered if she was on the beach, her body would probably be dry. Please give the worm someone's help! But Wendy Worm could not go home because she was lost. She did not know the way home. If I were the worm, I couldn't have gone home at all. For I'm unbelievably hopeless when it comes to knowing directions.

Wendy Worm was on a stone and a big wind came and blew her away. It blew her over all the trees. It blew her over all the houses. It blew her here. Flying worm sounded interesting to me.

She had to go home. I already knew it. She could not stay here. If she stayed here, a big bird would eat her up. Big birds liked worms. I got to be frightened so much.

There were big birds where the crab lived, too, but she could not go under the ground. She could get away from big birds under the ground. It was kind of the crab to tell the good way to hide from enemies. The crab would take her to the ground. How? The crab took Wendy Worm over the sand to the ground. I wanted to experience a hot sand bath.

Wendy Worm appreciated the crab as she went under the ground. It's important to appreciate. Wendy Worm had to find her way home. I thought it was hard to find her way home under the ground. This was a good new home for a lost little worm. I thought what was Wanda Worm. She could stay in this home with a boyfriend. That was she found male worm.

Wendy Worm stayed with Wanda Worm. It was very good, and she stayed under the ground! I nodded in understanding.
