I read Karen and the ARTIST. This book is written about a woman a poor artist. The woman meets the artist at a cafe in Rome. He isn't famous as an artist. Moreover, no one buys his pictures. Therefore, she helps him and sells them in behalf of him in her country.
Karen is a flight attendant. Anderson, her father, is a professor. When she went back to her house, he told her to come into his study. Then, he showed her a picture. She said to him that the picture was beautiful. 'You understand art, Karen. I'm proud of you', Anderson said. On Monday, Karen worked again and brought passengers drinks and food. The flight to Rome was quite short. She had no work in the afternoon. She was going to fly out of Rome tomorrow morning. She walked for a long time. It was hot, and Karen was thirsty, so she went to a cafe. In the cafe, there were pictures everywhere. They were beautiful, and their colors were also great. 'Who is the artist?' Karen said to the barman. 'Don't talk to me about that artist', he said. The artist was coming here every day and a young man with dark brown hair. He was thin, and looked tired with his pictures when she saw him there. Then, 'can I see them?' she said. 'Of course', he said. His name is Antonio Brunetti. They were beautiful and she heard that no one bought them, so she asked him to sell them in behalf of him. He was glad to hear that, so he gave her them. 'I'm coming to Rome again next week', Karen said. The next day, she was at home again. She showed Anderson his pictures. He was surprised to look at them because they were very extraordinary and beautiful. After that, Karen took some of Antonio's pictures and went to an expensive art gallery in Bond Street. Most people who work there didn't deal with them because his name wasn't famous. However, a curator looked at them. Then, 'I want them, so I'll buy them for 1000 pounds', he said to Karen. She took 1000 pounds for them. a week later, Karen was in Rome again. She went to the cafe. In the cafe, she asked many people Antonio's whereabouts. Only a man knew it because he was a friend of Antonio! He was Giorgio. Giorgio took Karen to Antonio's house. When they arrived there, and she saw Antonio, he seemed to get the flu. 'Oh, Karen! You're here! I can't believe!', he said when he saw her. He wanted to paint her, but he couldn't stand up. She gave him money for sales of his pictures. He was very happy about that! A few days later, Antonio recovered from his flu, and Karen became his agent. Then, at last, painting her, his desire, came true!!
There are interesting points for me in Karen and the ARTIST. The first is Antonio gave Karen his picture easily. If I were him, I wouldn't do that. The second is she became his agent after he recovered from his flu. Probably, she might love him since when she met him. The final is Karen had a keen eye for good art. She might develop a sense of art thanks to Anderson. Karen and the ARTIST is a book only 15 pages long. In addition, the words used in it is easy. Therefore, if you haven't read it yet, How about reading it!? [585 words]

♪Community life♪
Introduction
As you know, we can't live alone, and have to help each other. Therefore, it is very important for us to have contact with people in communities and get along with them. What we start and continue to do is difficult, and can be one of lifelong problems though it has a weighty meaning. By the way, there are various places where we can meet them. Well, I will talk about part-time jobs, clubs and schools.
Body
(Part-time jobs)
There are a lot of various part-time jobs now. Did you have practical work experience when you were a junior high school student? If you had it, it might be great for you when you took on part-time jobs. By the way, among students, taking on a part-time job in a Japanese-style bar, restaurant and convenience store seems to be popular. In any workplaces, we can meet various people. Then, we can learn something about the world through communicating with them well and doing jobs. This is essential for the community life.
(Clubs)
You may imagine clubs or circles of school at first that you hear a word, 'clubs'. As you know, however, there are also clubs for the public. Talking about a personal affair, I belonged to Ludens Tennis Club, one of tennis clubs, when I was a high school student for a few months. In this tennis lessons, I communicated with seniors and juniors who I hadn't known. Thus, although this isn't always true in all people's case, you may be able to contact with various people if you belong to any clubs.

(Schools)
It may be easy to imagine schools as places of the community life. Students have to observe the school regulations. Of course, they aren't permitted to infringe them or take selfish actions. This is a typical example of the community life in schools. By the way, they can make friends through school events, club activities and so on. In addition, if they play with their friends on holidays, they can deepen exchanges. Probably, you may have experienced these things. They can make you who you are in the future, so it is essential for us to have gone through them.
Well, I have talked about part-time jobs, clubs and schools. I think there is another topic except for them about the community life. The thing which is common to part-time jobs, clubs and schools is the importance of making friends or communicating with other people. This is inevitable for us even if we want to avoid it. Therefore, we have to make efforts to have contact with people in communities and get along with them!!! [435 words]

After school...
Last Thursday, I went to FESTA, where is a game arcade on the first basement level of TSUTAYA in Shimo Street, with my friends after school(^_^) We played such as beat-'em-up games, quiz games and shoot-'em-up games♪ About 2 hours later, we went to McDonald's to have dinner. A friend of mine ordered a QUATER POUNDER which the upper picture shows. When I saw it, it's a big hamburger, I think(>_<) We enjoyed having dinner and talking each other there(^_^)v [75 words]

My high school days
I had gone to Toryo high school in Kumamoto for three years. When I entered it, I felt lonely because there weren’t friends I knew in my class. However, I made friends through some events soon. Teachers of Toryo high school gave us a lot of assignments every week. Therefore, it was hard for me to finish them. When I was a second year, I had to study harder than before. Particularly, I studied English, Chemical and Mathematics very hard. In a school festival, my classmates including me performed ‘water boys’. Although we practiced during summer vacation, it was very hard, but I felt a sense of achievement after it ended. [111 words]

The class of Writing Ⅳ
I use websites, blogs, a reading logbook (the orange book) and so on in the class of Writing Ⅳ. They are very convenient and necessary for me now. Particularly, blogs are the most important text for me. When I write essays or portfolios, and if there are any problems, I check Mr. Beaufait’s blog and my friend’s one. Then, the orange book is the second important text for me. I have to write more than 18 book reviews in fall semester. In addition, I have to keep logs on it when I finish reading books. [96 words]

A passion fruit
My parents bought a passion fruit which is called a 'dragon fruit' yesterday(^_^) The reason why it is called so is that its peel is like dragon's one though the left picture doesn't show its peel unfortunately. It contains much vitamin C relatively. Personally, the taste wasn't so tasty(-_-;) In this connection, the taste is like a subtle peach flavor♪ By the way, as you can see, its color is purple. Therefore, when I saw it, I thought it is a little eerie(ーー;) What do you think about the passion fruit('dragon fruit')(?_?) [92 words]
Toy Story (the first story)
http://rororo17.blog88.fc2.com/blog-entry-70.html
Toy Story is a popular movie in Disney films. This movie is composed of computer graphics. It was released by Disney in 1995. The director of it is John A. Lasseter. Then, the genre of it is animation. Andy, Woody, Buzz and so on are characters of Toy Story. Among them, Andy and Woody are main characters of it. Incidentally, it made 3 hundred million and 6.2 million dollars in the world.
(summary)
Andy, an owner of toys, gets a new toy one day. It is Buzz, Space Ranger. He is the latest one of all Andy's toys. Therefore, he has a lot of functions which they had never seen. Andy gets to like him about such as qualities and looks. Woody, his favorite toy, thinks he is the most favorite toy of all Andy's ones. However, Buzz becomes his favorite toy. Then, Woody is dissatisfied with it. He does various things in order that Andy gets to like him better than Woody.
(impressions)
In Toy Story, there were 2 interesting scenes for me. The one is that Andy's toys moved and talked each other only when he went to bed. There was an unspoken understanding, which is that his toys mustn't remind people that they can move and talk, among them. Therefore, they kept the secret. Personally, I thought they were great about it. If I were them, I would reveal the secret someday. The other is Woody's behavior after he got Buzz. Woody held his ground desperately. This was very impressive for me. Then, when I watched the scene, I thought I knew how he felt.
Toy Story was made for children. Of course, however, adults can enjoy its story enough. I learned the importance of friendship by watching this movie. If you have never watched it, I recommend you to watch it once. I think you will learn something from it. [312 words]

Culture
There are a lot of cultures which we haven’t known yet in the world. Such as American, British, Chinese and Korean cultures are relatively known to everyone who is Japanese. Last year, I learned about other culture a little in KGU’s class. In addition, I am learning about them this year. However, teachers are different between the former and the latter. I have to know about other culture, so I have to make efforts to understand other culture. [78 words]

Takumasai in 2007
From November 1 to 3 in 2007, a school festival, which is called Takumasai by KGU's students, was held in KGU. I went to Takumasai with my friends on November 2(*^_^*) There are a lot of food stalls such as grilled chicken, octopus balls, parfait, and cheese cake ones in KGU. I and a friend of mine had a 'rice croquette', two grilled chickens and so on(^◇^) Then, we met friends of ours and talked to them. I enjoyed Takumasai very much!(^^)! [82 words]
