BR 1-13: The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor

"'Where are you going?' asked Maguire. 'Peru,' said Jonathan. 'I don't like mummies. In Peru there are no mummies.'" (p.47)

This book says about the fight between the mummies and humans. Jonathan is the hero in this book. There are a lot of happening about mummies around him. If you like mystery or action, you will like this book. In addition, there is the movie of this book. I recommend to read this book after that watch the movie. Your English skill will be better I think. Also, there are the series of the mummy. If you like this book, you should try other one.

BR 1-12: Mr Bean

"He climbed on to her bed and looked down at her. Then he jumped on top of her - head."(p.33)

Do you know Mr. Bean? If you know him, It is okay but If you don't know, I will recommend this book for people who like comedy. He is really funny and crazy. However, Rowan Sebastian Atkinson who plays Mr. Bean is very smart and wise very much. So, you can enjoy the gap between Mr.Bean and Rowan. What's more, If you like this book, you should watch this drama. It is also very interesting.

BR 1-10: Barack Obama

 "'Can you do it?' his answer was always the same. 'Yes we can'."(n.p.)

This book tells us how did and do he for the US as a president. If you want to know about him, you should read this. What's more, you will be able to know the historical moment because he is the first president of African-American. In addition, you can be able to know his concept, the environment in witch he has grown up, and his childhood. Therefore, I will not recommend for people who don't like biographies.

BR 1-9: White Death

"'Because I love him'" (p.20)

This book tells about the terror of a heroin that's said White Death. In addition, It is telling about an act of hatred and of love.

I don't like that is easy to guess a culprit because there are too many suspicions in this book. However, I like that Anna believe her daughter to be innocence and act with decision.

I am going to recommend this book for fifth and sixth elementary school students. They should read this book because this book tells about heroin. Also, they can imagine the terror about heroin. What's more, I also recommend to peopl

e who like love story and mystery. It will be interesting for them. 

I chose this sentence, "Because I love him". The reason why I could perceive her feeling very much.

Essay 5: Best days in my life

My favorite music group is Kis-My-Ft2 of johnny's. This group name is from the initials of the names of the members: Kitayama Hiromitsu, Senga Kento, Miyata Toshiya, Yokoo Wataru, Fujigaya Taisuke, Tamamori Yuta, Nikaidou Takashi. They dance and sing on roller skates. First, many people thought they were another group that would disappear soon. I thought so too. However I watched drama on the TV called Ikemen desu ne. Tamamori and Fujigaya acted this drama.
When I was 17 years old, I was disappointed in love. I thought I wouldn’t fall in love again. But I watched the drama, I fell in love with Tamamori. From that day, I checked their TV programs and dramas, CDs, DVDs. I was attracted by their activities. I wanted to know them, I checked their activities in the past and their videos on Youtube. I always listened to their music. They were sources of my spirit. When I was 18 years old, I went to their concert in Fukuoka. My seat was near the stage. It was the first time that I went to the concert, so I was tense. When the curtain of the stage opened and they appeared, I cried because I was moved. This time, I had the best time. Furthermore, I could shake hands with Fujigaya and Kitayama. Their hands were big and soft. I cried and cried. I said I wouldn’t wash my hands. I thought this at the live concert because I always met before only on TV. Their dancing and singing made me so happy. When this concert finished, I cried and I wanted to meet them again. So I worked hard at my part time job, I saved my money. I traveled to Tokyo and Osaka and Fukuoka to meet them. On my 19th birthday, this day was their concert in Osaka, and this birthday was the happiest day in my life. This concert hall was very big so I couldn't see them close. However I was glad because I could meet them. All their concerts are splendid and I seem to have a dream. This summer, I will go to their concert tours. I want to get 9 concert tickets. I must pay about 120,000 yen. I want to make this dream come true. I'm working hard at my part time job to meet them.
