From Wednesday to Thursday

I'm going to tell you about my schedule from Wednesday to Thursday. On Wednesday, I had no class, because Listening class had been closed. So, I didn’t go to school on Wednesday. I could sleep enough time after a long time. I woke up at noon and eat lunch. Then, I went to part time job. I worked about six hours at swimming school. I was tired after finishing my part time job.
On Thursday, I woke up about nine o’clock. I went to yume town with my grandmother and mother by my car. We went there to buy my grandfather’s clothes. My grandfather was hospitalized two weeks ago. The symptom was cerebral infarction. He could speak and wake up all by himself now. But, he cannot walk very well now. So, he will undergo rehabilitation from now on. I have never seen his sick face.

Lilo and Stitch

A chemist named Jamba made an alien which is called 626 in the world of aliens. It looked so cute and little. But, it has only the ability to destroy everything. Surprisingly, it can lift 3000 times as much as its weight. Moreover, it can survive in fire and never dies if he hit by a car or takes a bullet. The only weak point is that he cannot swim.
Jamba was ordered to have 626 be banished. He gave up 626, but after a few minutes, it escaped in a spaceship. Then, 626 came to earth. Lilo is a girl who has no friends and no parents. She has older sister named Nani. She
looks after Lilo instead of their parents. Lilo is stubborn girl, which causes Nani much trouble. But, I felt that they like each other. Since they live in poverty, a man who works at welfare office sometimes comes to see them. The man told Nani that she has to work. If she cannot, he will take Lilo to a foster home.
One day, Lilo and Nani went to the animal shop to buy a dog. Lilo went to choose a dog in the other room. She met the alien 626 there. She looked pleased with the alien named it ‘Stitch’. Nani is amazed to see Stitch and didn’t want to keep it. The shop clerk also didn’t recommend keeping it. However, Lilo has already decided to keep Stitch. So, they took Stitch to their home. Although Lilo tried to get along with Stitch, he acted on
instinct. Anyway, Jamba and his mate also came to the earth to capture Stitch. They watched Stitch and tried to capture him, but they couldn’t. I felt Stitch gradually became calm by living with Lilo. But, sometimes he destroyed everything he could. One day, Lilo and Stitch visited the place where Nani works. When Stitch performed instruments like a guitar there, he was popular with many people at there. However, he suddenly destroyed guitar, tables and so forth. Then, all the people ran away, and Nani lost her job. Lilo, Nani amd Nani’s boyfriend David lost all hope for Stitch. After that, everyone started surfing and seemed to forget everything. The man who works at welfare office was standing on the beach, and he told that he will take Lilo to a foster home tomorrow.
The next day, Jamba went to Lilo’s home to capture Stitch. They battled intensely, and a fire started in the home. Lilo survived and rode welfare officer’s car. But, Lilo escaped from the car and ran away to the forests. Lilo and Stitch were captured by Gantu who is the captain in a spaceship. He was also ordered to capture Stitch by alien
chairwoman in the spaceship. Then, Gantu started flying and flew away. Stitch escaped from the plane, but Lilo was still in the plane. Stitch thought Lilo is his family, so he　decided to rescue her. Jamba has been hiding his　plane, and he cooperated with Stitch　and Nani. And, Stitch succeeded to rescue Lilo. After that, the alien chairwoman in the　spaceship came to the earth. But, she left there without injuring them. It was a happy　ending!

We had to make fifteen rounds. Although it was hard, I could build up my physical strength. I regret that we couldn’t win the final game. I was very sad at that time, because we couldn’t play basketball anymore together. After the game, we went to Yakiniku. Everyone in my teammates enjoyed eating. No one cried at that time.

Romeo and Juliet

I watched a movie ‘Romeo and Juliet’. I have heard of the title of this movie, but I have never watched this movie. Of course, Romeo and Juliet appeared in the movie. Romeo is the only son of the Montagues and Juliet is the only daughter of the Capulets. These two families have been fighting each other for a long time. One day, Romeo and his friends stole into the Capulet’s party. Romeo met a pretty woman by chance at the party. She is Juliet. They fell in love with each other at first sight. Romeo knew who she was at that time, but she didn’t know who he was. When
Romeo left the party, Juliet knew Romeo’s family line. In spite of that, their love was stronger than before. Now I think this is the start of the tragedy. Later that night, after the party, Romeo visited Juliet’s home to see her. I felt Romeo’s love was so strong because the normal people don’t go to other people’s homes without permission. I also thought he seriously loves her. Then, Romeo and Juliet got married secretly. But, Juliet’s parents tried to make her marry with a man whose name is Paris. Juliet didn’t want to get married with him. So, she refused and her father was enraged by her insistence. If she didn’t marry him, her father said she couldn’t appear in front of his eyes. At the same time, Romeo was caught in battle. Juliet’s cousin Tybalt has hated Romeo for a long time. I thought Tybalt also loves Juliet. Then, things reached their worst. Romeo’s friend Mercutio was stabbed and he died after a few minutes. Later, Romeo lost his senses and attacked Tybalt’s car. And he fired at Tybalt and killed him.
After that, Romeo was banished from the city. Juliet felt sad and couldn’t understand why Romeo killed Tybalt.
A few days later, Romeo went away from the city. Juliet was going to marry Paris against her will at that time. But, Romeo and Juliet still loved each other. Juliet would like to meet him again. Father Lawrence had a plan. It was that Juliet drinks a drug that puts her in a state of suspended animation for about twenty four hours. And she
will be buried and then Romeo would visit her and they would elope. Lawrence sent a letter about the plan at once. However, it didn’t reach Romeo. He misunderstood that Juliet died. He despaired and decided to kill himself. He went to the city and bought poison. After that, he visited Juliet sleeping in her grave. Finally, he drank the poison.
At the same time, Juliet woke up, but it was too late. Romeo passed away. And Juliet followed him in death.
This movie was so stimulatiing for me. When Romeo and Juliet died, I felt so sad.

One day, Miles made a hyper phone. It was the best invention for him. He told that hyper phone will be able to talk to aliens. Then, he read a feature article about UFOs and he believed UFOs are the spaceships from another planets. However, Gary insisted that it is superstition. Then, Mile started making hyper phone.

The book about the universe

I read a book about the universe at the KGU library. It was so interesting for me. Please let me tell about.
First of all, have you ever thought about the birth of the universe? I believed that the universe was born by the Big Bang. Big Bang is one of the large explosions that triggered the birth of the universe. However, according to the book, it is not true theory. The universe was filled vacuum energy the ancient times. The vacuum produced the repulsion. The universe has been expanding since then. And the age of universe is about 13.7billion year old now.
Second, have you ever thought about the size of the universe? It was not solved the correct size of the universe and it was not understood that the universe is limited or unlimited. However, this book taught me that it took over 13 billion light-years in the universe. Light can advance seven and a half laps around the earth. To explain plainly, it can advance thirty-thousand kilometers per second. Although this is the great high speed, it took thirteen hundred thousand light-years from our galaxy to the nearest galaxy.

Vacation (childhood)

I was very looking forward to coming a long vacation when I was a little child. I have some good memories in my vacation. I am going to introduce some of my memory.
First, when I was a third grades of elementary school, my family and my grandparents went to Amakusa in summer vacation. My father reserved a good hotel before, so we went there. I could see the sea from the hotel. We could stay in the highest floor in the hotel. It was so high that I could see the beautiful views. On the second day, I swam in the sea. It was a lot of fun. This trip was so good memorial for me and my family.
Next, when I was in the second year of high school, I went to Kagoshima with my family. We went to shin yatsushiro station in order to use shinkansen. If we went to Kagoshima city by car, it might took over two hours. Shinkansen could run so fast that we could arrive at Kagoshima city about forty mimutes. On arriving at Kagoshima city, we ate lunch near the Kagoshima chuuou station. Then, we went to a hotel which name was Shiroyama. This hotel was very big and I felt high rank. We ate dinner at the hotel. I ordered beef stake. The taste was so delicious. The second day, we went to Sakurajima by ferry. We went around Sakurajima. Since I had never been to Sakurajima, I was very happy to go there. Then, we went to World WarⅡ memorial hall. There were a lot of pictures who participated in the War. Many people were near my age. I was shocked the fact. But, it was good experience for me.
These trips are very good memorial for me. I don't go on a trip recently. I want to go somewhere!(311words)
