I stayed in the U.S. for a month in last summer

     I stayed in the U.S. for a month in last summer vacation. It was so fun! I could get a lot of nice memories. I was able to experience special things. I had attending Bethel University in Minnesota. I introduce about the national traits judging from a fashion. The trigger when I thought want studying in is one day. One day, when I go to school, my host mother says “Hey Minori!!!!!! DON’T wear the high heeled shoes!!!!!!!!!!!” I said “o……oh. OK, OK! wakatta!! ” I didn’t know why I was told so, but I changed my shoes. I observed American students from that day. American students often wear simple clothes. On the other hand, many Japanese are dressed with a decoration. I had a question then. Why American student’s plain clothes are simple? I thought there is a secret. So I took the statistics by a questionnaire in America and Japan. I asked four questions. I looked for the fashion conscious of students in America and Japan using the Internet and library also.

Prison Break season1 #1

I watched a drama that is “Prison Break” season1 #1 so I will talk about the drama.

This drama’s main character is Michael. He succeeds as a first-class building design architect. However, his older brother Lincoln was arrested because they said he killed the brother of the Vice President. He pleaded not guilty but he was sentenced to death. Michael enters the prison to help his older brother. So Michael does a robbery on purpose to get into the prison.

I really like watching movies (my favorite the kind of movie are a SF movie, a suspense movie, an action movie, and so on.) but I don’t usually watch dramas. However, I had wanted to watch this drama for some time because it has been recommended by my friends who love some overseas dramas. We have to teach our recommended movie and drama together. But I didn’t get a chance to watch the drama.

However, I watched the drama in my free time. So I was surprised to watch this drama. As is expected, it is very interesting. The drama became my favorite drama. Michael is different in his level of thinking for other people. (Michael has IQ of 200!!). He thinks how to enter the prison, the way to escape from the prison with his brother. He is in the prison so anyone doesn’t think he can do such a thing!! He is great and so cool. I hope to be a smart person like him.

I think it is a bond of brotherhood a little strange. I am looking forward to how he will find a way to help his brother. I thought this drama is very interesting, and want to watch more soon. I wanted to watch all of this drama series during the summer vacation.

BR 1-09 The Lion and the Mouse

“I was wrong. Even little friends can be good friends.” (p22)

 

It is very simple story. The lion was going to kill a mouse. The mouse said “Please don’t kill me. Maybe I can save your life too, one day.” The lion laughed them. One day, the lion walked into a trap. The mouse helped the lion from a trap. She nibbled through the ropes and lion was free. The lion said “I’m sorry, little mouse.” The lion accepted his wrong. I thought it is not good to judge a person from an appearance.
