BR 1-04: The Baobab Tree

"The Baobab tree talked a lot." (Stowell, 2009, p.8)

This story is based on a South African tale about a tree known as the baobab.
The baobab tree looks as if its roots are in the air, so people came up with stories to explain its strange shape.

A long, long, long, time ago African gods made the world.
One day, they made a talking tree that is called Baobab tree.
The baobab tree talked a lot.
"I don't like this soil."
"It's too hot."
"I'm cold."
"I'm thirsty..."
One day, the gods cried "Stop!"
What happen to the tree?
Why is the tree strange shape?

This story is retold by Louie Stowell. This is in the Usborne First Reading series.
It's a level 2 book, so it is short story (about 25 pages) and easy to read.
This story is interesting, and I recommend that you read this book.

BR 1-03: Stone Soup

"I can make soup from a stone" (Sims, 2009, p.6).

This story is based on an old folktale from Europe.
In some countries, it is called Nail Soup and a nail is used instead of a stone.

Once, there was a poor man.
He came to a cottage.
An old woman opened the door.
"May I rest here for a while?"
"No! Go away."
"I can make soup from a stone," said the man.
"You can?"...
What happens to her?
I though that if a poor man came to my cattage, what would I do.

This story is retold by Lesley Sims. This is in the Usborne First Reading series.
It's a level 2 book, so it is short story (about 30 pages) and easy to read.
I recommend that you read this book.

Week 3-My hobbies

I’ll talk about my hobby today. I have many hobbies. I like to listen to music, reading comics, making sweets, going shopping, watching movies, taking hot springs, and so on. Especially I like to relax while listening to gentle music and eating sweets. I like to chat with my friends. Today I talk about making sweets. When I was a fourth grade, I really liked to read books and went to library every day. One day I come across a book that taught me how to make sweets, and I tried to make it with my mother. I made cream puff for the first time, and it was so fantastic and I was really glad. Since then, I like to make sweets. I make sweets for family and friends’ birthday present.

First challenge

Hey, guys. I would like to introduce my first challenge today.

It is ikebana :)) This photo is my first challenge. Last January i took a lesson in ikebana for the first time. I went to chuo driving school, and my teacher, Mr. Yazu, recommended me to take a lesson in ikebana. He has a certificate to teach ikebana. I'm a KGU student, and i have a lesson at Mcdnald' north Kumamoto store. We borrowed second floor from them. We took a burger set, and after eating i was taught by my teacher who was a woman. haha Ikebana looks difficult, but there is no perfect rule. We can do ikebana with a liberal idea, but have to observe good manners. I want to challenge again. I call Mr. Yazu :)) Why don't you do it with me?

Good bye.
