The Magic Porridge Pot

I read “The Magic Porridge Pot”. This story is about hungry Hannah, an old woman, a greedy boy, a magic pot and LOT of porridge. Hannah did good things for old woman, who was very happy. So she gave Hannah a pot. The pot has magic. Hannah used it, but greedy boy looked what she was doing. Greedy boy crept in her cottage, stole the pot and ran home. Finally He made happen bad things.
It is easy for me to read this book, however easy to understand we must not do bad things. If he tells her what he wanted to do, it was not happen. We may do bad things, however we will get comeback someday. (119 words)

I went to West high school. When I was a high school student, I belonged to the English club. In the third year, I was president of the English club. We played games, watched movies, talked with ALT and international students. I don’t belong to club now, but sometimes I go to international students dorm. And I’m English lounge staff now, so if I don’t have class, I talk with international students.
I have four hobbies. First, I like to watch baseball. I belonged to the softball club when I was in junior high school. Sometimes, I play softball.

Last Wednesday

I had part time job last Wednesday. My friends came there. They ate parfaits. I wanted to join them… I will go café with my friends next time.

I read “Stories of Mermaids”. There are three different stories. I impressed first story and third story, so I post long that parts.
First story is “The ghostly galleon”. Harmony is main character. She lived with her mother at the very bottom of the ocean. She likes to sing songs. Harmony tried to keep up their spirits by singing beautiful songs. Her voice was so enchanting that passing fish had to stop and listen. One day, her mother was covered in blue spots and her tongue had turned purple. Harmony hurried to find doctor. Her mother was very sick. Harmony had to find polkadot seaweed, however it only grows in the Pirates’ Graveyard. She was afraid so. But she visited there, she could find. Ginger beard’s ghost looked her when she stolen it. Harmony said that I just need the polkadot weed to cure my mother. But he didn’t believe, and he grabbed Harmony roughly and locked her in a cabin. She felt terrible, she tried to cheer herself up by singing, but all her songs came out sounding sad. Harmony’s lovely voice floated around Ginger beard’s ship. However hard he tried, Ginger beard couldn’t drag himself away from the mermaid’s tragic tunes. Then he allowed going home and taking with you. She swam so fast, and she gave her mother it.
If she doesn’t like to sing she can not make move his heart. Of course, I can't hear her songs when I read book. But I can find her songs are good because I watch pictures. I impressed her doing for her mother. I felt her kindness.
Second story is “The missing pearl”. Marina is main character. She wanted to get giant pearl, so she raced with seahorse. But Sid and squid interrupted them. Finally Marina and her seahorse won but, lost giant pearl when they got it. Last, criminal were Sid and squid. I think they shouldn’t interrupt Marina. If Sid did clear race, she may have got win.
Third story is “The dancing mermaid”. Coral is main character. She loved living under the sea, but she wanted to dance legs herself. She watched the humans were dancing every evening. She longed to join in. Coral told the king about her secret wish. He gave her legs for one week. Then she must decide whether to keep her legs or her tails. She fell in love with freshman who was called Dan. A week later, they met king. Coral had missed her ocean home more than she had enjoyed dancing. But she had fallen in love with Dan who had real legs. She decided “legs”. “And which do you think she should choose?” he asked Dan. He said “Tail”. Coral was heartbroken by his reply. But the king smiled wisely and whispered another question in the Dan’s ear. Dan grinned and nodded. A magical cloud streamed around the pair. The next second, they had a tail!!! “Let’s try underwater dancing” said Coral. They fell in love with each other, so Dan doesn’t want Coral make sad. I can’t do imagination finally. I can read fast because short story. There are three stories which are all good stories. (528 words)

My eating habits

I always eat meals three times only. But I eat two times only almost weekend. Because I always have part time job, so I can eat two times. I think it is not good health. I try to eat something food break time.
I don’t like to eat snack, but sometimes I want to eat chocolate. Because I like it sweets!! I consider that it is not good to eat junk food too much. Accordingly I cook sweet handmade. If I cook sweet by myself, I can make adjustment to sugar and oil etc.

The Twelve Dancing Princesses

I read “The Twelve Dancing Princesses”. This book cover and title are cute, so I choose it. There were once twelve beautiful princesses, all with long, flowing hair and short. Their father is the king. He was grumpy old man who didn’t believe in having fun. “All of you just sit down and look pretty!” But the princesses strongly disagreed.
The princesses loves dancing, however his father doesn’t like it. So they were dancing whenever he wasn’t watching.
The girls slept in a tall tower. The king locked the tower door, so they couldn’t sneak out. One morning the maid noticed there shoes were lying. The door was unlocked…. The shoes were worn out. His father was very angry front of daughter. But the princesses had been out again. The same thing happened seven nights. The king didn’t know what to do….He had a brilliant idea!!! He made poster. He wanted to watch where my daughters go at night. He made someone who watches his daughters.
Two Princes came, but they drank milky cocoa which made the princesses. They were fast asleep and snoring loudly. One day, a magician noticed poster. His named Ralph and his pet dog, Rascal. The king was doubtful. The eldest sister made a cup of cocoa, but he didn’t drink it. He was a wise magician. He knew what she was up to! He gave his pet cocoa. His pet was fast asleep. A magician pretended to sleep. The princesses get ready when he was sleeping. They went to secret trap door. He caught up to them. They were dancing with princes!!! He got thing which was demonstrator. He showed it next day. The king told about it. Princesses were so sad….But true to his word, the king let Ralph marry one of his daughters.
