BR 2-16: Fluffy And The Firefighters

The best way to fight fires is to keep them from happening in he first place! (p.37)

I chose this book because the illustlation is so cute, and I thought that it is easy for me to read it. May be, there are some books of this seriese, but I read only this book. Fluffy is a classroom guinea pig. I think Fluffy is too self-conscious, but he is a guinea pig who will listen to reason, too.

Tom and Mike that they appere in this book are firefighters. I think firefighters are very cool and bravery. I have never wanted to become a firefighter, but if I was a boy, I wanted to become a firefighter.

The member of karaoke was Nana, Asuka, Rina, Manami, Ai, Mitsuki, Sahoko, Eriko, Hikari, Naomi and I. I have not been for a karaoke with people except Nana among the members, so I was very nervous when I sang. Everyone sang, and everyone was good!! We spent about 3 hours there.

After we left karaoke, we had time to dinner a little. So, we took purikura. A game center was crowded. It was worry whether all the members finished being in the purikura because we were large families of 11, but all the members entered somehow.

We went to the bar which we reserved when we left the game center because it was just right time. We went markJ. I went there for the first time. A lot of us ate and drank a lot and talked a lot. Manami ended a part-time job and joined halfway. In the middle stage, we presented it and changed it. I got the present which Rina bought, and Ai got the present which I bought. We ordered many dishes, so we overate myself and got hard. At past half past 9:00 p.m., we brought to a close. We said good-bye.

And he had a good cat to keep him company. (p.28)

This book is a kind of Mr. Putter and Tabby series. I think baking a cake is very difficult because it takes effort. I can't bake a cake without a cookbook.

Essay 2-03b: Joint Movie Review

The member of our group is Nana and Sakura. We worked jointly on this essay. We are going to write about works of Daniel Radcliffe. May be, almost people know about Daniel Radcliffe because he is a star of Harry Potter series. The series are very famous. We watched two movies that he appeared; Harry Potter and Philosopher’s Stone and Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets.

Nana watched Harry Potter and Philosopher’s Stone. Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone is the first novel in the Harry Potter series. It describes how Harry discovers he is a wizard, makes close friends and a few enemies at the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. But he didn’t know he is wizard until he became 11 years old. And with the help of his friend thwarts an attempted comeback by the evil wizard Lord Voldemort, who killed Harry’s parents when Harry was one year old. Voldemort possess Quirinus Quirrell. Quirrell can’t take Philosopher’s Stone from The Mirror of Erised but Harry looked it he got the stone easily. Voldemort going to take the stone away from Harry use Quirrell but Quirrell burned to touch Harry. Then he died. Voldemort ran away because he doesn’t have body.

Watched this movie then thought picture and sound are good. This movie is using a lot of computer graphics, so it is powerful and thrilling. The original work is novel, so it is difficult to image. But watching picture for movie and it is fuss over derails so people couldn’t take their eyes off it. It is easy to image if stand School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, like this. And Daniel Radcliffe is fit to Harry’s character. He describe Harry very well. And if you watch this movie, you can find Daniel Radcliffe is so young and small than now. If you have watched Harry Potter series, you should watch this movie. It is recommend for who have never watched Harry Potter. It is interesting movie.

Sakura watched Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. This movie is the second work of Harry Potter series. Daniel performed Harry again. Harry grow up than the first work, and became the look that is clear-cut and fearless. This story is about Chamber of Secrets. There was the Chamber of Secrets in Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. There was the legend that a monster of Slytherin was there. In this movie, Harry met Dobby who is a house-elf. Dobby was a key person of this movie. Dobby is a scatterbrain. Moreover, he doesn’t know how to get things done, but he tried to help Harry. He respects Harry and appears even in a later work to help Harry. In the latter half of the story, Harry confronted Tom Marvolo Riddle. Tom is Lord Voldemort. He wanted to revive in perfect form. Harry fought basilisk that is a monster of Slytherin. Basilisk was very scary and spooky. A scene of a battle with basilisk was very thrilling! The end of a battle scene, Harry stabbed Riddle’s diary with the tusk of the basilisk.

There are some comical scenes in this movie. For example, Harry and Ron transformed themselves into Goyle and Crabbe with Polyjuice Potion. However, they often commit a blunder because the voices are not changed even if use the Polyjuice Potion.On the other hand, Hermione fails in transformation and becomes a half cat person. And also, Gilderoy Lockhart appeared this movie. He is popular among women by the features that are the great deal of effort. In fact, he has a foolish character. The incantation which he hit for Ron came back to himself, and he was made to lose memory in the end of the movie.

Daniel Radcliffe has finished acting as a star in all of Harry Potter series. He became a very famous actor all over the world. However, it is as Harry Potter. He is too strong in the impression of the position. He continues still energizing, so we wish for that he can play an active role at the forefront. In the future, we will be able to see him on the screen as a new role.

He tugged and tugged and tugged. (p.12)

This book is a kind of Mr. Putter and Tabby series. This story is about a walk with Zeke. Zeke is a smart dog, I know, but if he go for a walk, his motivation goes up suddenly. I think it is dog's nature. I have never had a pet dog, but my image of dog is it. However, Zeke is really smart dog because he understood that when he got a reward if he behaved himself immediately.

Mr. Putter considerably had a hard time to walk Zeke, but Mrs. Teaberry does it every day! I think it is very laborious work. People do not take effort cats about it because people do not need to take the cat to the walk.

Sometimes her idears were odd and involved running fast, or wearing featheers, or having purple toes. (p.5)

This book is a kind of Mr.Putter and Tabby series. Mr. Putter likes taking the train. I like taking the train, too. I want to ride it long time as possible as I can. I can enjoy seeing views from big window. I agree that the trip to train is fun, but I do not think it is a good idea that they bring pets. Tabby and Zeke are very bright, indeed, but it is a rule that do not bring pets. If there is the person of allergy to animal, how does it turn out in a train? I think that they must follow the rule.

There are many actors and actresses on TV programs, and there are some my favorite actors and actresses, too.

 

My favorite actor is Kenta Kiritani. I kner him when he appeared in "ROOKIES". He appeared in it as Hiratsuka. Hiratsuka was very funny role. I became to like him then. After "ROOKIES" finished, he appeared in "Meteor's bond". I watched it. It was very interesting. He can act funny role and serious role. I think his gap is very cool!

 

My favorite actress is Miho Kanno. She is a famous and popular actress in Japan. She appears in many dramas. I liked "Kiina" which was her drama starring. She is appearing “I don’t marry” now. I think that she has high acting ability. She won many prizes. Though she is an actress, she appears in many variety programs. People who acted in the same play by a variety program say that she is an openhearted and good person severally. I think that it must be the truth because good personality oozes out from her. She appears in many commercials, too. I like a commercial of a Suntory highball that she appears. Moreover, she is very cute! I can’t believe that she is 35 years old. I like her very much!
