The book use a word many times. The word is "crooked". I think this book tells us ways we use the word, "crooked". It is easy to read this book because individual sentences are very short, but all sentences have a word "crooked". Even if you don't use a dictionary, you may understand the mean of "crooked". The pictures in the book are very fun. The pictures look like animation in America, so it is easy to understand the content of the story. Everything in this book is crooked. For example, a man, a mile, and a house are crooked. That world is strange.

BR 2-02: The Magic Pear Tree
The story is very interesting. When I read
this book first time, I couldn’t understand the content of the book. However, I
could understand about the story when I read few times. I thought that the
story tells us not to be selfish, or you would get nothing. I wonder why a
beggar chopped down the pear tree. If the beggar didn’t chopped the tree, the
tree grew many pear people eat by free. But if the tree of pear wasn’t chopped,
many people would fight to get more many pears, I thought. Therefore, the
beggar chopped the tree. I have a question about the beggar. He can use magic,
but he is poor. That is a riddle for me.

Diary of My Nightmare
Recently, I've been having nightmares.
For example, I was killed foreigners in my dream. I was in a military base, but I don't know why I was in there. I had a party with the soldiers of foreigners. Suddenly, I made a person of soldier angry. Then, I was chased by the man. I tried to run away from the man, but I don't have enough energy to run away! Finally, I was caught. Then, the man put a insecticide in my mouth. That is very hard for me... Of course, I was dead in my dream. This dream is first nightmare for me.

Essay 2-01b: My History of Languages
I have learned three languages. The languages are Japanese, English, and German. It is hard for me to study and learn languages. However, I have been trying to make my language skills well. I introduce about my history of languages. And, I write about English mainly in this essay.
I started to go to a school of English conversation, when I was an elementary school student. Because my friend was going to the school. I was interested in the school when I heard about the school. I asked my mother to let me go to the school. Then, I started go to the school because my mother allowed me to go. First, I learned the alphabet. Next, I learned pronunciation and grammar. I didn't know the fun of English before I go to school. However, I could know the fun because of the school. Also, I could learn with my friends, so I didn't give up learning English.
When I was a junior high school student, I started to take English classes in a junior high school. I was good at writing and reading English at that time because I learned English before I entered the junior high school. I liked English, so I talked to ALT. Then, I could understand what he said. I was very happy. I tried to talk to him as much as I can. Talking to ALT made my speaking skill better than before. However, I felt that English was little difficult when I was second grade in junior high school student because English grammar became more difficult than first grade in junior high school. Then, I didn't like English. However, English is my best subject to get good score in tests, so I felt I like English. I couldn't get 100 points in English tests, but I could enjoy studying English in the school.
Also, I could exchange letters with the ALT when I was a junior high school student. I wrote many letters to the ALT, The figure of the ALT's letters which were sent by him were cute, so it is pleasure to write letters in English. Especially, the letters which were sent on Halloween and Christmas were more cute. It is interesting for me to write and read English sentences.
When I was a high school student, I was belonged to English club. The club wasn't active, but we did few things which made our English skills well. We did some games that we use English. Also, I exchanged letters with a girl who was second grade in junior high school and living in America when I was third grade in high school. She wrote English sentences in longhand, so it is hard to read them. That was good experience for me.
I like watching movies. I have some patterns to watch movies. First, I watch a movie in Japanese with no subtitle. Next, I watch the movie in English with Japanese subtitle. Then finally, I watch the movie in English with no subtitle. Therefore, I can understand what they say, and I can know new words. It takes long time, but I like this way to study English. If you have enough free time, I recommend you this way.
Sometimes, I read books in English. I read a book which is related to Michael Jackson in English. I like him, so I don't get tired of reading. I can't read them fast, so I read slowly. When I find words I don't know, I use a dictionary. The contents of the book are long, so it is hard to read all. I can know words I didn't know from the book. Reading books in English is a chance to know many words. If I have free time, I want to read more books in English. If you have your favorite books, please tell me the title of books.
Also, I watch a Yahoo website which is American version. I can know about circumstances of America. There is interesting news in there. There are many words I don't know, and I can't understand the means of the word sometimes even if I use a dictionary. Therefore, I have to guess the mean. It is difficult, but it is interesting. Many interesting news are in the websites, and the kinds of news are different from Japanese Yahoo. I recommend you this not just to study English.
I learned German in KGU. It was first time I learned another new language. Grammar of German is like English. I know nothing about German, so I tried to find laws of German. Of course, I learned many things about German from a teacher. I enjoyed learning German, so I wonder if I take German class next year.
I think every language is difficult to understand and use perfectly. But I want to be able to use and speak the three languages. Also, I try to get better TOEIC score than before. There are many things I have to remember, so I study harder not to regret. Please tell me if you have your favorite way you study languages :)

What classes I take this term
I will absolutely take compulsory subjects.
For example, I will take Speaking, Writing, Reading, and Listening. There was
no Reading class in Spring term, but there are the classes in in next term.
Therefore, I feel it will be hard to make preparation for the reading class.
The time schedule in next term is not so different for a time schedule in
spring term, so I don’t feel worry about new time schedule. However, I have to
take listening class in 5th class on every Wednesday. Therefore, I
can’t go home in noon on Wednesday. My aim in next term is finishing my home
work as soon as possible.

BR2-01: Elephants
As you read the title of the book, you can know about elephants. When I read it, There were many facts I didn't know. For example, there are a lot of elephants in anywhere. Also, there are elephants in Asia. There are some differences between African elephants and Asian elephants. I was moved about elephants' love. They have their love like humans. Especially, mother's love to care their children is wonderful. Also, you can know how they use their body. Do you know the reason why they use their ears? They don't use their ears to just listen. If you are interested in elephants, I recommend you reading the book.
I like eyes of elephants. Their eyes are very kind, I think. They are so big animal. When I saw them first time, I was very surprised with their size. Adult elephants are so big, but their babies are little small. They are cute. Especially, I like trunks of elephant babies.
