Introduce Kumamoto


Have you ever visited Kumamoto castle? It is the most famous sightseeing in Kumamoto. Many sightseer come there, who live in Japan and another country. “Ginkgo nut castle” is another name. There was many ginkgo nuts’ tree. There are many castles all over Japan. However, there are three castles best of all. That is Nagoya castle, Osaka castle and Kumamoto castle. These are built by famous history persons. I introduce about Kumamoto castle why it is so well known.
It was built by Kiyomasa Kato in 1601 to 1607. Castle has many great things. First, there are Musyagaeshi. It is gradual stone wall first, but it is so sharp on the way. Samurai (musya) was upset. So, Japanese say Musyagaeshi. Samurai can’t climb it and nobody climbed it yet. Whenever I go to Kumamoto castle, I am surprised about so sharp and high. Of course I can’t climb it.
Second, there are big dungeon and small dungeon. That was burnt down, but it was reconstructed in 1959. Big dungeon has six floors. We can go up it, however we cannot go up small dungeon. I’ve ever gone up big dungeon, it was so tired, but I could see the whole Kumamoto city from top of the castle. It was so beautiful. If you can go up, you should go up the top. You will be moved when you see it.
Third, there are many historical material and real things in the castle. Another, there are specially things, which are well, long wall and beautiful rooms etc. You can watch many real and wonderful things.
Finally, Kumamoto castle has many great things. I can’t tell all of them. If you can go Kumamoto castle, please find that yourself. I think it is so interested. (293words)

Florence Nightingale: Lady with the Lamp

I know FLORENCE NIGHTINGALE who is famous nurse. There are nurses who have respected the NIGHTINGALE yet.
She was so cleaver and rich. When she decided to be nurse, her family didn’t believe and allow. Because of nurse was so poor and not respected. However she said “My mind is made up. I believe God has called me to become a nurse. My destiny lies in helping others.” She lived in the war. Florence had assembled a group of 38 nurses’ care for the sick and wounded men. But doctors resented the nurses and their work. However they continued working. I think that he though nurses couldn’t anything. But nurses did wonderful things. Citizens said thanks for nurses when soldiers come back city and were good health. She was doing when she died. There are many hospitals, which was made by Florence.
I moved her strong resolution. Why did she think so for long time? I learn that we don’t have to give up dream. I have dream now. Sometimes I think that I can’t be able to be that. However I should effort to come true dream. (194 words)

ELIZABETH BLACKWELL

Main character is Elizabeth Blackwell. Her father believed his daughters should be educated as well as boy. Elizabeth had to help family because his father died. And after, their friend died too. She talked to her. She said “I wish I could have seen a female doctor. I would have felt more comfortable talking to a woman. Elizabeth, you are smart. You should study medicine.” She was thinking because woman can be teachers. And no woman ever will be a doctor. However she saves money at tutor. After that she could go to medical schools. There were many schools however only the Geneva Medical College and she graduated school. She made hospital, however everyone believed her. When she went to London, She met Florence Nightingale, and they become grate friend. Finally she was great nurse and opened hospitals. In America there are many woman doctors. Half the students in medical schools today are woman.
I read a book which is Nightingale before. She became nurse in Britain. Elizabeth was in America. They had same dream. However If they didn’t effort to become nurse, there isn’t woman doctors now. And I think woman have been continued distinction. I can understand I read before similar a book. My teacher recommended these life story’ books. I wasn’t interested it before, but now I’m so interested. I am moving when I am reading it. I want to read all series. (239 words)

Jackie Robinson: Baseball’s Great Pioneer

Do you know this famous man who is Jackie Robinson? I didn’t know him before I read this book. I like baseball, so I think he was famous player when I watch book cover.
He was black face, when there were blacks and whites separate. Jackie likes sports. He played football in Hawaii; his team was the Honolulu Bears. When he was 23, he was drafted into the army. However there were segregations again. Pro baseball was segregated. Black players weren’t allowed in Major League Baseball, so they played in their own leagues. There was segregations, he though” Now I can’t lose my temper. If I do, it might cause blacks and whites to fight in the stands.” However he became a power hitter. Finally his team won the World Series. In 1964, Jackie did more to help African Americans. He helped start Freedom National Bank, one of the first banks owned by African Americans. By 1971, Jackie’s health was failing. He felt it was time to record his life. Jackie died of heart attack on October 24, 1972, at age 53.
He was so brave. There were much segregation, however he wasn’t undaunted. We experienced bullying. No, we will do that. However we have to think what he or she thinks. (218 words)

Presentation of New country




History, Traditional Clothing & Sports

Hello everyone. This is Keito. We researched about the country, Euskedera. We could find it a nice country. So now we are going to tell you about Euskedera! First, I want to tell you about the history of this country.
This country was created 300 years ago. So this is new country. And this country was created by a girl. Yes, the girl is Shimady Alexandra Ai I. She has mother who is Spanish and father who is French. One day she had a fight with her parents. Because she wanted to eat more grapes but her parents never allowed her. Ai said, “I wanna eat more grapes! Give me more grapes! I can never live without grapes!” But her parents got amazed of her and they said, “We felt utterly scandalized. If you keep eating grapes more than this, you’re gonna be grape girl!” Hearing that, Ai ran out of her house. And she said, “I wanna eat grape everyday. I wanna live among grapes. To make my wish come true, I have to make country of grape…” And she said in succession, “I have to think about the design of my country” She had a good idea soon! “I know! I will make my country between Spain and France so I use a country’s design of flag!” And the flag is made. This flag has France’s flag, has 3 lines and three kinds of grape, one is green, one is purple and one is pink. And she made her country by herself finally though we don’t know the way.
Now the president of Euskedera is Shimady Alexandra Ai III. But this country is dictatorship. So there is no right for nations. Everything is decided by Shimady. So there is no government, too. So when she is cross, many people will be capital punishment. But when she is happy, she gives nations bonuses. So everything depends on her humor.
Next, I am going to tell you about traditional clothing in this country. This country is famous for grapes. So traditional clothing has grape designs. This country’s traditional clothing is T-shirt and half long pants. They are so simple. A big grape is on the center of the T-shirt and two grapes on the pants. And what is more, there are shoes that ha design of grape!
Finally, I am going tell you about the sports in this country. Euskedera has a traditional sport. It is Grape Tennis. It has almost the same rule as ordinary tennis. But some are different from it. First, they use grapes instead of balls. Second, if you hit grapes strongly and crash it, you will lose. So you have to be careful not to crash grapes. Third, if you eat the grape, you will be told to get out of there. Be careful! But it is so fun sport. I hope you like it.
That’s all of my part! Thank you for listening!

Geography
My country has famous fruits. First it is banana. Banana was traditional fruits. Latter, she will talk about banana’s interesting history. Second, it is strawberry, which color is red. However, it is bigger than Japanese strawberry. It is so sweet. Third it is grape. These are colorful, green, purple, and pink. It is grapes of a seedless type. That size is like the table tennis’s ball a grain. So we can eat more. Citizen can eat green and purple. However queen Ai can only eat pink grape. She likes it very much, so she eats every day. It is expensive. It is so sweeter than any other grapes. If eat it every day, you will be beautiful. It is so rare grape.

Drinks
Japanese always drink green tea or water, but Eusukedera is not. They like grape, so they drink grape juice every day. If you are over eighteen years old, you can drink alcohol. We can drink wine every night and we can go bar.

Foods
They eat raisin bread and grape juice every morning, and in addition they eat deserts. It is grape souse on rare cheese cake, grape jam on the yoghurt, yoghurt in the many famous fruits and fresh fruits. They eat grape every time!!!

About Yusukedera (Plants, Animals and Famous natural sites)!!

I would like to talk about plants, animals and famous natural sites of our country. First, I will introduce plants. There are some fruit trees. We can gather up bananas, grapes, peaches and so on.

Second, I will introduce Animals. There are a lot of giraffes. About 1890, they were discovered by a man for the first time. The man’s name is Kiyomasa Kato. His hobby was travelling, so he had visited there with his family. At that time, the color of giraffe was white and they didn’t have any brown spots on their body. After ten years, a great many people visited there to see giraffes. Some visitors planted with a banana tree. Because they have eaten those every day, the color of their body became yellow and they had some brown spots.

Next, I will introduce famous natural sites. We have some natural sites. For example, we have a beautiful site where many colorful butterflies gather. Butterflies eat many kinds of fruits. Butterflies that eat mangoes or oranges have orange wings. Butterflies that eat kiwi fruits have yellow green wings. So, color of fruits effect their wings.

Finally, Yusukedera has many great things. I can’t tell all of them. You will have fun, if you come to our country. Please coming !!!!! (910 words)

 He goes to the roundabout, he pitches changes of clothes, a toothbrush and toothpaste into his car, and he takes a block.
As he is driving it, he takes off the pajama and he puts on a shirt. And he puts the block on the accelerator. He moves the back seat only the lower half of the body and he begins to drive with feet. While he puts on his dress pants, he puts on a jacket and socks. He moves to the driver's seat, he is driving around on the road sign. He puts on his shoes. He tries to put toothpaste on the toothbrush. He can't put it and he spills toothpaste on the dashboard, so he uses it. He is brushing his teeth as he is looking the side mirror.

Helen Keller: Courageous Advocate


Do you know Helen Keller? She is very famous person. I know her, however I’ve forgotten her life. I was greatly moved that she was doing, when I finished reading.
She couldn’t speak, see and listen. I’ve never felt that, so I don’t know how she felt. However If I were her, I couldn’t study more, no, I couldn’t meet except my family. She was very interesting to study and she was taught. I think Helen and her teacher was genius. Her teacher didn’t give up which she was teaching. If she gives up, Helen couldn’t grow up. They tried so hard, so she was famous. She didn’t want famous person. She only have many interesting than anyone else.
