Anne of Green Gables ( book review1-10 )

This time, I read "Anne of Green Gables". Have you ever read this book?? You know, this is a very famous book written by Lucy Maud Montgomery. She was Canadian writer and her stories about her home town, Prince Edward Island. She wrote many stories about Anne, but this book is the most famous.

Anne was an orphan. She was thin, talkative, with red hair. She had been alone till she met Matthew and Marilla. They had wanted a boy in order to let help their farm. When they saw Anne, they were shocked because they had stereotype that orphan girls are bad. However, they didn't back her to the orphanage. And then, they noticed Anne was a kind girl. Anne was sometime passionate at first, but the more she live with Matthew and Marilla, the more gently she grew up.

This story has a lot of happening, For example, Anne was teased about her hair, made a cake that taste was medicine, was often misunderstood by many people because she was orphan, and so on. In these happening, she could grew up her mental side. At first, she only talked, but at last she try to understand people, I think. Therefore she was loved many people at last. If I were Ann, I could not have been like her. Probably, I was disappointed when people judged me only that I was a orphan. Anne had courage to say her opinion and she thought about her opinion and other's. If she was wrong, she could apologized. It was also courage, isn't it? She has courageous and gently. This is a reason why she was loved by many people.


I could read this book so smoothly because I was so excited and wanted to know how the problem was solved. This is not difficult to read. You should read it!! When you read this story, you can be gently more than now, I guess.

Hard training !!

Since I became a university student, I have not often done sports. I can not run lang way now. However I know it is not good for my health, so I come to school on my foot from the station except when I have to harry. It takes fifteen minuites.

Today, I come to school on my foot because I have a time. Actually, I had a special class, that is to be Japanese teacher, so I would leave school at seven thirty. I thought if I leave school as soon as finishing class, I can catch my train that leave at 7:43. I had better to come to school by bicycle because ... class finished three minuites later I think!! That means I left my school at 7:33. I had to arrive the station for ten minuites!! I repeat but it usually takes for fifteen minuites. If I had walked to the station, I could not have caught the train.

Therefore, I run to the staion from school. I ran so hard. Ran and ran and ran...., I could reach at the station for 7 miniutes!!! As a result, I could catch the train. In the train, my breath was up and I was so tired because I had not run for the long time.

If I try this sometime, it is good training, I think. However I may not do it because it was really hard for me!!

TOEFL !!

Today, I had TOEFL class. I want to level up my TOEFL score because I want to go abroad. However I need more higher score, so I decided to take it.

I am not alone. I take it with my friends. If I were alone, I could not study hard. I can study hard because of them. I can discuss TOEFL question, why I choose A, or hoe they think about it, and so on. It is so difficult for me, but I want to improve my weakness, and grow up with them. They are not only good friends but also good rivals.

Actually, I don't have TOEFL skill so much. Sometimes, it makes so disappointed and sad. However, when I see that other people keep trying, I think I have to do it. I believe if I try hard, the result will appear.

Dogwood☆

Today, I will talk about "dogwood". Do you know what is dogwood? You may be surprised at it. Dogwood is ... "Hanamizuki", the tree that bloom white or light pink flowers!!! I can see it at my school, home and so on. I like dogwood very much, so I wanted to know how to say English, and looked up my dictionary. I was so surprised because I can't image dog with that flower. Therefore, I looked through about dogwood.

At first, dogwood isn't Japanese tree. In 1912, mayor of Tokyo prefecture, Yukio Ozaki, sent cherry blossom to America. And then, America gave us dogwood as a recompense. This is origin of dogwood in Japan. Dogwood is so popular in America, but why they call dogwood?

I found one famous theory. Dogwood's bark has effect to get rid of flea that dogs were infested with. However, this is unbelievable because dogwood seems not to be a medicine. And then, the most believable theory is that "dogwood" was called "dagger wood" at first. "Dagger" means general term of weapons. Dogwood is hard, so it was used as material of dagger. And then, people called it "dagwood". Finally it became "dogwood". That means dog and dogwood have no relationship. It is so interesting, isn't it??

Dogwood is birthday flower of April 23. It is today! I could find an interesting story about flower, so I will write reports like this since then.

Today, I had a growing Japanese teacher course at my university. I have been interested in Japanese teacher for a long time, because I want to work in foreign country. Therefore, I decided to take this course with my friend.

Today, I introduced myself and listened to other's. There are fourteen people in the class. We talked about our home country and the reason why we took the class. I was surprise because everyone had clear opinions and their goals. I was given stimulus by them, so I thought I had to study hard.

What is more, I learned what is the role of Japaneses teacher. There are many role, for example, Japanese teacher have to make plans to teach, teach Japanese, listen to student's anxiety , and so on. We need patience to be a Japanese teacher. If students don't understand Japanese, we have to keep teaching till they can understand. It is difficult and hard work, I think. However, it is also have value. I can learn about Japan myself too, I may get a chance I work in other country. What is better, I can meet many countries people, and communicate with them.

I will learn how to teach Japanese so that my dream will come true. I know it is not easy, but I will do my best.
