English Central

 Last weekend, I did English Central.  It is a website to exercise pronunciation of English.  I can watch some video and exercise pronunciation along the script of the video.  I have to save forty five thousand points by today.  I had saved thirty one thousand points by Friday, so I had to get about fifteen thousand points.  I wanted to get points faster, so I chose the difficult and long videos to sort those according to level.
 On Saturday, I had a part time job but I thought I couldn't get fifteen thousand points in a day.  So I did English Central and got five thousand points.  I did Obama's victory address.  I could get some points by doing it, but I finished it then.  I had to look for other video to get more points.
 On Sunday, I had nothing special to do, so I did English Central since morning.  I got five thousand points in addition to the points of the day before.  Then, I wanted to refresh, so I went out to downtown.  After I got back home and had dinner, I did English Central again.  I found a good video to get much points!  This is it.



I could get about fifty thousand points by doing this!  And I collected to forty five thousand points.  I cleared the assignment of my Speaking class.

A day in my life

 This is a day not to have something special in my daily life, and I image that a little, you know.

 On that day, I got up nine a.m. and had breakfast.  I got ready to go out, washing myself, blushing my teeth, and changing my wear.  Then, I was ready, so I go to downtown on my foot.  I like walking, so I often go on my foot.  I went pass a tram-stop and up and down to downtown.  I walked through Shinshi-gai, Shimotori, and Kamitori.  I went to Namikizaka and to my favorite clothes shop.  I bought some at the shop and enjoyed talking with the clerk.  After I bought, I went to an Italian restaurant and had lunch.  There were three course menu, but each of them costed about one thousand.  Next, I went to a book store to buy something to read.  I also like reading but I couldn't do because of being busy.  I bought several books, and went to Starbucks Coffee to read them.  I was relaxed by good coffee and read books.  After all, I walked back home.  I walked along the River Tsuboi seeing the Castle Kumamoto in the evening.  Then, I went back home and had dinner.  Also, I took a bath and went to bed at eleven p.m.  I spent a very enjoyable day.  Good night.

Spanish restaurant

  We will have to make a restaurant.  My group think Spanish restaurant.  We decided the name of restaurant would be "A delante".  It means "Welcome." in Spanish, so I proposed it.  Then, we are going to make the menu of restaurant.  Spain is famous about sea food, and you must hear paella.  It is known as one of the most famous Spanish dishes.  So, I think paella can't be removed from our menu.  However, it is only dish in Spanish dishes I knew.  So, I researched on google, haha.  As a result of researching, I found gazpacho as a soup, marinade and salad of anchovy  as salad menu, and more.  Desserts are churros, cooking apple, and comport of a pear. Thinking about our restaurant is fun, but we will have to presentation...  It make me nervous...

International Cocktail Party

 Hi, my name is Marco.  I'm from Madrid, in Spain.  Maybe, you know, Madrid is capital city of Spain.  The population is about 3 million.  The transportation is convenient.  There is the airport of Madrid-Barajas and subways can take you there.  In Spain, there are a lot of plazas, and Madrid has three big plazas, Plaza Mayor, Plaza Oriente, and Plaza Spain.  Plaza is an important place in Spain.  I like plaza.  I often go there and be relaxed.  My job is fashion designer.  I design shirts and suits for men, but sometimes design for women.  I like shirts.  If you wear a shirt and denim, or chino pant, you look fashionable.  I want to design such shirts.  I wish as many people as possible wear my shirts.  But, of course, I need rests.  One of my hobby is mountain climbing.  I went to climb when I want to forget my jobs and reflesh.  Mountain climbing is a little dangerous, but it is very good.  I can feel fulfillment when I reach the top of mountain.  I like it, while, I dislike typhoons.  In Spain, I am hardly suffered by it.  I had been to Japan for my job, and then, I came up to it.  It was very dangerous, I didn't go back Spain on time because of the typhoon.  I hate it.  I don't get married and I don't have a girlfriend.  That is because I am busy and enjoy my job now.  I don't need such thing.

Presentation

The combination animals

 I introduce you "girartle".  It is a combination of giraffe and turtle.  It has a long neck like giraffes and a hard shell like turtles.  It lives in ocean, and sometimes it get out ocean to land.  Maybe, you can't believe, but girartle can fold its neck into its shell.  It is unbelievable but real!  It eats marine plants and leaves of trees.  Its long neck is useful to eat marine plants swimming in ocean.  Its bad point is also its long neck, because the long neck is not suit to swim.  It swims a little slowly.

Introduce my new profile

 My name is Pedro Gonzalez.  I'm from Quito, in Ecuador.  Quito is the capital city of Ecuador.  It is on the halfway up of Mt. Andes.  My job is secret.  I'm not married, so I live alone.  One of my hobbies is listening to music.  I like music, especially classic music.  My favorite music is Bolero which is a one movement orchestral piece by Maurice Ravel.  It is a simple but beautiful music.  I love it.  However, I dislike noise.  I hate it, especially, I hear it when I listen to music.  So, I'm often said that I am sensitive, but I think it is natural to dislike noise.  Also, I can't give you a detailed explanation of my job, but I need to be sensitive for my job.  If I quit my job, I live in the riverside house near the forest.  It is one of my dream.

Combination fruits and vegitable

I will introduce a banalon.  It is a combination of a banana and a melon.  It looks like a light green and masked banana.  It tasts sweet.  Its good point is that it is easy to eat, you only have to peel.  Unfortunately, the parts you can eat are small, because banalon has seeds in it.
