BR#8 "Twins"

The name of twin came from ancient Greek “twine.” There are three type of twins, identical twins, fraternal twins, and conjoined twins. Identical twins have same DNA. This is made up of dividing single egg in the mother’s womb. So, almost twins look like each other. But, some of twins don’t look like. For example, one had curly hair and the other has straight, or one may be light hand and the other may be right hand. Fraternal twins don’t have same DNA. Two eggs grow up in the mother’s womb. This is occurred one per 125 couple of twins. Conjoined twins are joined together at a part of their bodies. This type is rare case. The famous twins are Chang and Eng Bunker. They was born in1811 in Thailand. The conjoined twins were sometimes called “Simese twins.” This is occurred one per 200 couple of identical twins.
There are twins near me. Almost the couple of twins who I met looks like each other. But, they don’t take after the character. So, I think it is very difficult to take after the character.

BR#7 "The Story of Cars"

For hundreds of years, people carried things by to push or pull. As early as the 1400s, an Italian inventor Leonardo da Vinci drew plans for a vehicle that was driven by clock work. Another Italian made a wind-powered tricycle, but this didn’t succeed. People had to wait 400 more years. In the 1700s, steam engines were invented. Nicolas-Joseph Cugnot tried using one to power a cart. Thirty years later, Richard Trevithick had an idea that it used a steam engine to pull a wagon along iron track. This idea became the train. His friend, Sir Goldsworthy Gurney designed a steam passenger coach that didn’t need tracks. In 1886, German engineer Karl Benz designed and built the first petrol-driven vehicle. It had three wheels, one seat and a small engine at the back. Then, many people improved the cars. Now, engineers are inventing cars that won’t pollute the air. They might run on energy from sun or give off water instead of nasty fumes. And, the cars used electricity are sold. The cars were formed by the power of many people for the long time.

TH.15 My favorite sweets

I have three favorite sweets. One of them is cheese cake. It has two types. There are rare cheese cake and baked one. I like both type. But I always eat the type of baked cheese cake. Because I often eat it at Joyfull. The restaurant has only baked cheese cake.
Second, I like custard puddings. There are many kinds of custard pudding. For example, there are tastes of strawberry, powdered green tea, milk, and more. My most favorite taste is strawberry, but my favorite pudding isn’t sell at Lawson now. So, I’m very sad.
Third, I like yoghurt. It is good for my intestine. There are also many kinds of yoghurt. For example, there are tastes of strawberry, blueberry, apple, and more. My favorite is also strawberry. In my house, my grandmother made yoghurt. The yoghurt’s taste is very good.

I always spend to read comics when I have free time. I read “NANA” again now. This comic has 21 volumes. Yesterday, I read volume 14. Recently, I sometimes watch dramas and movies on the You Tube when I was stuck for my homework. My favorite is “Honokaa Boy.” I watched this movie last week. Okada Masaki who is the leading actor of this movie is cool. These days, I like him. Then, I like to play games using my mobile phone. My favorite is training games. It’s the simple game, but I feel happy when the character is growing up. And, I also like to take a bath. I think about circle, human relations, and employment during taking a bath. When I feel depressed by thinking, I sometimes sing songs.

TH.13 My favorite event

I have two my favorite event. There are Takumasai and the regular concert. The cause that I like Takumasai is lively. This is the most warm up event in KGU. Every year, we play mandolin. But, this year, we didn’t play. I want to play mandolin next year. It will be so hard because the regular concert is in immediate future. Then, the cause of the regular concert is that I can feel a sense of achievement. Until the day of the regular concert, I have to spend so hard days. On December, there are the regular concerts of another music clubs including Mandolin club. So, I enjoy many kind of music. But, it is painful to buy presents for my friends.

MR#4 "Romeo and Juliet"

One day, Romeo met Juliet at a party. Romeo loved another girl before he met Juliet. But Romeo fell in love with Juliet at first sight. They married in secret. After a while, Romeo and his friends met the people from the House of Capulet, and Mercutio, who was a friend of Romeo, was killed by Tybalt. So, Romeo murdered Tybalt who was a cousin of Juliet. Romeo was banished. Juliet cried over that fact. At the same time, Juliet was ordered to marry Count Paris. Juliet consulted Laurence, and got a plan used a drug to create a death-like coma. Juliet wrote to Romeo about this plan, but the letter didn’t reach him. So, Romeo mistakenly thought Juliet was dead, and Drunk a poison. While Juliet awake, she saw Romeo. Juliet committed suicide by Romeo’s gun. Their parents knew their death, and reconciled.
Romeo is capricious. They fell in love at first sight, and they died for love. Even thought they were young, I couldn’t do the same thing. I can’t commit suicide for love. Surely, I will grieve and cry if the person who I love died. But I will not kill myself. Juliet chose the way to die. I think she was foolish. I can’t understand the parents of Romeo and Juliet. I can’t know why they detested each other so much. I think that it is good without feelings of hatred to another human being.
This story is very famous. But, I watched this movie at first in a class of English literature the last year. I haven’t known that Romeo loved another girl. I was very surprised by this fact. I thought Romeo and Juliet may be 18 years old before I saw this movie. But, Romeo was 16 yeas old, and Juliet was 13 years old. In those days, it was natural that the girls and boys who were about 14 years old to get married. I think that the young people can decide the future themselves.
