Book-Review1-8

I read the book" Leonardo DiCaprio". I review his story.
Leonard DiCaprio lived in Hollywood when he was a young. He liked playing and having fun and did not like school. When he appeared on TV at the first time, he was 5 years old. And his brother Adam Starr was an actor, too. He made a lot of money from only one television commercial. One woman in Hollywood didn't like his name, so he tried the new name Lenny Williams. He didn't like it, and quickly went back to Leonardo DiCaprio. He acted in Parenthood and the show was on television every week. But it was not hit and it stopped after four months. In 1991, Leo was in the television show Growing Pains. He played Luke Brower and did the job for a year. And he wanted to try movies, so got some movies and then played with Robert De Niro in This Boy's Life. There he played an important role. Leo auditioned for a part in the movie, What's Eating Gilbert Grape. He was the right man for the job and famous after it. And then he appeared many movies like William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet and so on. And he played a handsome boy in Titanic and the movie was a big hit. He got a lot of money. In 1998 he went to Japan for the Tokyo Film Festival, and some fans waited at his hotel for three days!
I watched his some movies and TV show. The movies and TV show I watched were Growing Pains, Gilbert Grape, William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, Titanic, The Man In The Iron Mask, The Beach, Gang of New York. I especially like Titanic, so I repeatedly watched it. I think he was the shiniest of his all movies in Titanic. My mother likes What's Eating Gilbert Grape and praised his action. And my teacher also recommended this movie. Johnny Depp was also so cool and good action in this movie. Maybe, after titanic was hit, in Japan a synonym for handsome was Dicaprio. I like Dicaprio, it is because not only he is handsome but also he likes Japan. I heard he liked the Japanese animation Spirited Away. Recently, I don't have much time to watch movies, but I will try to watch his movies in English version!!

Bakery

There is a cafeteria in my university. That shop's name is Bakery. I often visit there to buy breads. I visit there even if I do not buy anything. I like watching and smelling at breads. They make me hungry. And when I go there, I sometimes witness foreign students or teachers stay and eat something. So I appear there a few days a week. I especially like Choco chips melon- bread. I recommend this breads to foreigners. Recently, I realised melon-bread come from Japan. Anyway, this cafeteria is fashionable and fits foreigners. So I wanna take foreign friends and chat there!!

A memorable day in my life

A memorable day in my life is a high school festival day in 2003.
When I was a freshman at the high school, my classmates and I sang “I will follow him” at a stage on school festival day. My high school was Christian and our homeroom teacher taught us English, so we decided to sing it in English. But we had to study very hard everyday, and we did not have much time to practice singing. We all watched the movie “Sister act “and listened this song so many times. We almost had to study from 7:30am to 6pm a day. So we began to practice singing after the classes. I was not good at singing. In those days I liked English, but it was difficult to understand this song’s meaning and memorize this lyric. I also had a question about him that is a part of this song’s title. Then I did not know who he is. So I tried to do my best to overcome these programs. To make matters worse, I had to sing with dance in the center of the stage. I could not dance well, too. I really worried about it. Especially, I did not like dance class in high school days. My classmates cared me and taught me so many times, but I could not improve it at all. I also practiced it repeatedly at my home. The day came soon. I was very nervous before my stage. I watched another classes’ stages before my stage, but I could not enjoy watching them. My stage began at last. I really wanted to run away. My mind went blank as soon as the song began, but I managed to move my mouth. This song is gospel, so I decided to enjoy singing and dancing even if I mistook. My friend enjoyed them next to me. She was a wheelchair user, but very cheerful. Then I expected every audience looked at her not me. Some audiences began to dance together. My feeling became better. I enjoyed singing and dancing with all my might. Our show finished in no time and everyone applauded. So I was very happy and relaxed. I still believe my class was the best of all. And I enjoyed the rest of the festival with my friends. My sister visited my school to see me after my stage. There she happened to meet a photographer and she was taken photo with other students. To my surprised, she largely appeared in the next day’s newspaper. She though he was a just school photographer. It turned out that he was a journalist later. My family was delighted to know it.
I had experienced three school festivals, but this festival was the best for me. Then I was crazy about gospel and sometimes listen gospel songs now. I want to see my classmates again. When I will see them someday, some of them will have their children.

More 6 weeks

Today I realised that I would go to America after 6 weeks. Recently, I was very busy and I didn't know that. I thought I had a lot of time to go there, but it is about time that I began to prepare for it. To tell the truth, I prepare nothing for it yet. I just saved money and bought a digital camera. Maybe, I am familiar with UK than USA. I really wanna enjoy staying in America. So I will prepare many things and make plans from now!! But I have a lot of assignments not later than America. ><

Book Review1-7

I read the book "DEATH IN THE FREEZER".
Ellen had hated her younger brother Al since he was born. Her parents only loved Al. When she was a ten, her mother died and her father began to drink a lot. Later she run away with her boyfriend John. She got three kids, but John did not have real job and she worked as a nurse in a hospital. Her father loved Al, but when he died, Al laughed. Al began a rock band and became famous and rich. She was jealous of him. Then he was crazy about drugs which were a bad thing and became sick. Though she took care of him so much, he gave nothing to her. He became good soon, but he wanted drugs and asked her to steal clean drugs from the hospital. She knew it was crime, but did it. One day, she found that there was Al's body in the cold blue glass case. Dan and Linda Future who run the cryonics company froze him to keep him sleeping. Then they told her that he had AIDS no one could cure. They gave dangerous sleeping drug, and then put him in a freezer and froze his body to - 196℃. They said to her that he wasn't dead and one day a doctor could wake him up and cure. Al singed the contract and they tried to look after his money and house. Ellen thought they just killed him and stole his fortune. She found a good lawyer. They talked at a court. At the first, the Future was blamed. But, Ellen finally lost at the trial. She made him AIDS and killed him, because she gave dangerous drugs with syringes which had bacterias in them to him!!
This story is too long to read and summarize. But I could understand approximate that story. This story was easier than I expected. When I found this book at the library, I thought this story was science fiction. But it was another. Next time I read a book, I want to read more cheerful story!

TOEIC

Today I took TOEIC IP test at the University. It was very difficult and long time. It was 2hours and made me tired. I lost my concentration for test as time went by. I managed to finish it by time limit. Maybe I almost answered by my hunch. I don't want to see my score. ><
After the test, I went to Downtown with my school friends. There we enjoyed shopping a little time. Then I had an appointment with another friend, so I left from them and went to meet her. I met her through my previous part time job and then she was a just temporary staff. She is older than I am by five years. But she is very friendly for me and funny. We went to an Italian restaurant to eat lunch. Then it was over 3pm. To tell the truth, I went there with foreign friend before. Today we ate sandwiches and spaghetti. And we ordered cakes, too!! One was tiramis and the other was pumpkin cheesecake. Then I was not so hungry, so it was so hard to eat it. And I skipped today's dinner.
I like this restaurant, because its atmosphere is similar to Western restaurant. We enjoyed chatting there for a long time. I was happy to meet her. She suggested me that I stay at her house with my sister and we trip European countries. I hope I can so someday!!
