A year end party


On December 29, a year end party was held with part time members in Tamana. In the morning I went to the cram school to clean the rooms free of charge. We clean the whole cram. At first I cleaned the second floor because some students took make up classes in the first floor. There are two people so it is too hard. The hardest thing is to carry the tables out of the room to wax the floor. Then, we ate deep fried chicken lunch. In the afternoon, three teachers came there to help us. We cleaned the room. We finished cleaning at 5:00. I have cleaned there for 7 hours. At 7:00, we started a year end party. There are about twenty teachers in there. I ate a lot of foods such as deep fried chicken, croquettes, grilled chicken, and guts. They were very good. I ate guts for the first time. Guts containing a lot of collagen, so I ate it too much. The cost of the party was 1500 yen because the company granted a subsidy of some money. I was helped because I have no money. Then, we enjoy playing bingo game. I get a bath set in the bingo game. I was very excited because there are some penalties. After that, a continuation of a party at another place was held. We went to Tsukasa to play boring. I get the best score in my life.

My favorite clubs/circle

My favorite club is art club. When I was a high school student, I belonged to the art club. There are only 4 people in the club. We draw a lot of pictures when we prepare for a cultural festival. I was invited by my friend, because the club member was only one person. If I don't join the club, the club has disappeared. I am not good at drawing pictures. But I enjoyed the club. There are a lot of good memories. For example, we went go out sketching, drawing pictures. The character which my friend drew became a mascot character of Tamana city. So we were very surprised. The most interesting memory was drawing a votive picture tablet of a horse. After school we did my best for it. I was very glad because we achieve it.

After the parade finished, we went to a police station. They gave us tea. After that, I went to boring with Sayaka because she had free tickets of one boring game.

BR 2-08: Frogs

I read “frogs”. This book is explained frogs. I don’t like frogs because they are very revolting. The worst animal is frogs. I have not liked frogs since I was a child. I often see frogs in the rainy season. So I don’t like the season. But I like the tadpoles. They start to change soon. First they grow back legs. Then they grow front legs. Their long tails shrink. Frogs are the amphibians. They can swim fast in the water, moreover hop around on land. I can understand frogs in the book. For example, all frogs need water to stay alive, but they don’t drink the water. Each week, they change their skin. The largest frog is as big as a cat. I was surprised at it. We often hear their singing. The male frogs sing to the females. After singing, the male and female frogs get into pairs. Then the female lays eggs in the water. I can find out more about frogs. I am not interested in frogs but it is easy for me to read the book. If you want to know frogs, please read it.
