CD Review

My favorite CDs are “PLAY” and “Greatest Hits: My Prerogative”.
I like Namie Amuro. She is very cute and very cool. Her grandmother or her grandfather is Italian. She can dance very well. She will be 30 years old on September. Can you believe it!? Besides, she has a child!! Can you believe it!? She is slender. She looks like very young. She released her new album recently. The album is “PLAY”. My sister likes her, so my sister bought the CD. Also I watched her DVD. This is very cool and great!! And I watched her special animation. This is famous CG animation. It was interesting. Also I could listen to interesting song. My favorite songs are “Hide ＆ Seek” and “Hello”. And I like “FUNKY TOWN”. This song is cool. I recommend the CD and DVD!!

I think that Britney Spears is very famous singer in the world. She will be 26 years old on December. She is cute. She can dance very well. She has two Children. I can’t believe it. She is strange recently. But I like her song. My favorite song is … I like many songs. So I rented her album. This is “Greatest Hits: My Prerogative”. I like the CD. I bought the DVD. She is very cool and funny. I recommend this.

Book review 1-12 (Huck)

I read "Huckle berry Finn". Huck is kind. I watched the movie. This is interesting too.

G-mail

G-mail is very convenience, because we can send a mail to anyone. I like sending an email, so I often check the G-mail. I sent a mail to my host family. They are American. They live in USA!! It is wonderful.

My teacher

There are many teachers in my collage. They are Japanese, American, Chinese, and Korean and so on. My teacher is Japanese and American. My speaking teacher is Jeff. Jeff is very funny. He is teacher, but he has a bar. I want to go to his bar, because there are many foreign people in his bar. I’d like to talk with them. A teacher said me “You should try to make some friends, so you can speak English very well!!” I believe his advice. My listening teacher is Mr. Satou. His voice is good. He can speak English very well.

Restaurant review

Joyfull is famous family restaurant. The restraint is cheap and delicious, so I like the restaurant. I think that Joyfull is popular restaurant in various people who are young man, young woman, old man and old woman.

I don’t go eating there lately. I went to there many times when I was a high school student. Then I was for 2 or 3 hours. I can relax there. I sometimes studied for exam.

My favorite menu is “Doria of chicken”. I love this. I always eat this. The chicken is tender. The cheese and tomato sauce are very good.

If we have a service ticket, we can drink on the cheap. I can use a drink bar. There are many juices, tea and so on. I always drink a white water. I love this. I sometimes drink a Lipton. Then I get milk. I love a milk tea. Lipton is good.

My friend works Joyfull. She said “there is a shaved ice now”. I have to go to Joyfull!! I recommend this. And I recommend Joyfull!!
