They picked some blackberries, and they made the blackberry jam. They experienced a lot of things for the first time in Gran's house. Also they tried to light the fire in a big fireplace, and they tried to a new game which was called Haunted House. They really enjoyed playing the game, but they feared ghosts after that.
   They couldn't sleep, so Biff wanted to play joak on Chip, but he wasn't frightened. I like that scene very much. After that, they heard a noise from out side, and they saw a ghost. They ran to Gran's room, but she wasn't in bed, because the ghost was she!!! There was no ghost in Gran's house, and Biff and Chip laughed. I thought that story sounds very convincing.

French and Indian wars

Hello! Today, I will introduce to you a story. This story was about French and Indian wars, and it was made by me. The reason why I made this story was I took American circumstance in the spring semester. Then we made a lot of stores about American histories. I also chose that theme, and I made that story. It is very unskillful story, so I want you to read the story in a graceful manner.

 

“Good night” I said to my mother. It was eleven o’clock when I go to bed. Today is very tired. I thought such a thing, I was sleeping deeply.

Next day, as sunlight was dazzled, I got up earlier than usual. Then I was very surprized because I had been a young man. I doubted my eyes but that spectacle was right. Just then, a young man who wore glasses told me “Did you get up?” “Yes… By the way, where is here? Who are you?” I replied. “What do you say?” He said in surprise.

He said that we were fighting as a French soldier in the French Indian wars now. “French Indian Wars?” I thought in myself. At that time, I noticed myself slip at time in the past. I have gotten excited at the same time as being surprised again, but the feelings disappeared at once because it was fighting. I became very scary, and I wanted to run away as soon as noticing that.

I know this war because I learned history class last week. This war is generally called a North America colony war. Generic name of a series of fight done from the 17th century to the 18th century in North America continent of colonial times. Spain and the Netherlands also occasionally participated in these wars in North America. But basically, it was done by Britain, the North America colony and the Indian tribe army that allies versus France, the North America colony and Indian tribe army that allies. The North America colony of Anglo-French has extended over dominion in the west or the interior area and it had spread to the North America continent whenever the war occurred in Europe.

 

When I recall such a thing, a man called me.” Hurry up. It is time of the departure. ”I replied “Ok. Is it already such time.” Then, I was born-again. It cannot be helped because it has come. I had the gun, and began to walk with renewed vigor.

 Then, I awoke at last.so I saw a dream. When I got up, I sweat profusely. My clothes were soaking wet with sweat. I noticed that it is dream so I was very relieved. I have not understood why to have had such a dream on earth. After a while, mother came to wake me up. ”What is happen?  ”My mother said to me and she wiped the sweat of my forehead. I said, "I saw a very scary dream". Mother laughingly treated me and said “Go to school early.” After that, I am afraid of seeing the dream.

That’s all for the story. Thank you for reading!

Drum line

 
 Good afternoon. Today, I will write about “Drumline”. I watched "Drumline” yesterday. I watched this movie for the first time, and I didn’t know this movie’s existence. I really enjoyed watching this movie to the very end.

 This story was about a marching band at a university in America. The university was a big name university among marching bands, so, a lot of high school student wanted to enter to the university and the marching band. Devon who was the hero of the story, could enter the university as an honor student of music. He had a talent for playing the  drums. I thought his talent was so great, but he had a secret which was that he couldn’t read music. I was very surprised when I learning about the secret. He always played his drum without any music. I thought it was terrific, but he needed to read music.

 

 Also he had a problem in his personality. He was a conceited person, so he had a lot of troubles among many people. I thought it was bad for the marching band, because they had to be unified.

 

 My favorite scene in this movie was Devon made up with Sean. Sean was a Devon’s rival, and they always were quarrelling, so I was happy at that time. Sean taught Devon how to read music. I liked that scene very much. I thought that those two were really a good pair.

After that, the marching band entered a big event, and they gave a great performance. It was very excellent, and it greatly excited me. This movie was so good, not only the story, but also the marching band performance. I knew the marching band was fascinating music from this movie. I want to watch a live performance someday. That’s all. Thank you.
