BR:2-04 Three Billy-Goats

“OK, here I come! says the very big goat.” [p.15]
I read this story when I was a kindergartener. And then we made a play of it in there.

I think the big goat was kind goat because other goats forced him to fight the troll. But he didn’t feel bat it and he fought for others to pass on the bridge. His kind and brave make my feeling warm. This story is that the big goat fought alone. But I thought the best way to pass on the bridge and defeated the troll is fighting all together. So if they fought all together, only one goat hasn’t have a dangerous experience or felt unpleasant.

The big goat’s kind made my feeling warm. I want to be a person like him.

Essays:2-3a Joint Movie Review

Hello everyone! This time, I’m going to introduce everybody about Julia Roberts. Do you know her? Have you heard her name? Surely, you know her because you study “Notting Hill” in the listening class. Her real name is Julia Fiona Roberts, and her age is 45. She has worked long time. Her birthplace is United States.

Did you see it in the theater? I wait for DVD of “Mirror Mirror”, I want to see it quickly. This time, I’m going to introduce everybody about three movies, family, and awards and other movies and scandal on herself.

At the first, I introduce “Valentine’s Day”. Have you seen it? The movie was shown in 2010, and love story. The movie director is Garry Marshall. She appeared the part of a soldier on the American armed forces, and her official name was Kate. Co-stars are Ann Hathaway, Taylor Swift, Jessica Alba, Jessica Biel, and Bradly Cooper, etc. The movie drew Valentine’s Day of each ten couples who live in Los Angeles. And it is collection of short stories. I saw the movie. Each short stories were very interesting and moving, I was moved to tears. I thought that the movie was a very heart-warming movie after I saw. I recommend the movie “Valentine’s Day” to everybody.

Next, I introduce about “Pretty Woman”. Have you seen it? This movie is my favorite movie because it is very interesting and pretty story. Maybe, Girls like this movie. She played in a call girl at this movie. The name is vivian ward, and she played in a poor woman. She was poor woman at first, but she meet one man. After she met him, she changed her life.

So This movie is very good for everyone. in this movie, she is so cute and sexy. If you are free, why don’t you watching this movie?

Third, I introduce Notting Hill. You know or have you ever watched the movie? Notting Hill is a Love story which happens between a divorced man in the UK and an actress tremendously popular among people. The role of Julia Roberts is Anna: she is an actress. In fact, Julia Roberts is also a real actress today. So we think her performance is like herself. She was thinking about the suffering as an actress while playing the role of Anna when she made the film with others. For instance, if she wanted to get along with other people equally, they would not have treated her as a human equal with others because she is a tremendously popular actress. Surely, she experienced the suffering on real life. I seemed to see her role of Anna performance is simply and cheerful personality. I think there are many things we can sympathize on this movie. For instance, the feeling of love which we can’t get along with him well,  So please watch this movie, if you didn’t watch it yet.

I introduce about Julia Roberts’ family. Her family is a husband and the twins of boy and girl and a boy. She got married once in 1993, but it was divorced in 1995. And she got married again to a movie cameraman in 2002.

She had scandals on herself. She was acquainted with a lot of actors. She was engaged with Kiefer Sutherland, but she didn’t marry with him. After that, she went to trip with Jason Patric. He is closed Kiefer Sutherland. In 1993, She married with Lyle Lovett, but she discover in 1995. And she has an affair with Daniel Moder and she married him in 2002.

And I introduce that many awards which she was awarded a prize. She was awarded a prize Golden Globe Award of the Best Supporting Actress on “Steel Magnolias” which was shown in 1989. And she was awarded a prize Golden Globe Award for Best Actress-Motion Picture Musical or Comedy on “Pretty Woman”. She became the candidate the Academy Award on “Steel Magnolias” and she was nominated for the Academy Award on “Pretty Woman”. She was awarded a prize Academy Award for Best Actress on “Elin Brockovich” which was sown in 2000.

Or I introduce that other on her movies. It is “Larry Crowne” Her role is a lazy teacher of speaking at Community College. A man; Larry Crowne who was dismissed from a Supermarket enters there to reemploy other work. They met together and birth a comedy drama. If you watch it, you can see her different performance as an actress in comparison with some movie which we wrote as above.

That is why; Julia Roberts has a great power and depth of her performance. She has a great ability as an actress. As the evidence, she gained many prizes and she has been as a famous actress from her childhood to now; she is 45 years old. Isn’t it great? So we recommend you to watch the movie played her. Thank you for reading. (923/10272 words)

BR: 1-16 Marie Antionett

"But I try to be all those, she thought, and Louis still love me"[p.34]

I had watched Marie Antoinette of movie when I was 16 years old. I thought she was bad woman but I thought she was too criticized from the public.

 It was nature that the public got angry because she lived in luxury. However I think it was a life of luxury is not just her. The luxury people can’t be more than Marie Antoinette.

Why did she only been accused of so much from the public? I think she was an Australian.  Australia and France was hailed as the queen of France Marie Antoinette to make each other improve diplomatic relationship. So I think that she wasn’t too bad woman than she was said from the public.

This is why, I want to know true story of Marie Antoinette. So I try to read some Marie Antoinette’s biographies.

“He asked Peter to help him lead the creatures of Narnia against the White Witch.”[p.27]

 I had watched movie of Narnia. I was able to feel the bonds of family through this movie. Pevensie brother could win the White Witch group and take back peace of Narnia because they fought the White Witch group while protecting and having one of the minds each other.

They had all they could wish for, so the lamp and a ring were left in drawer [p.46]

 I read this ALADDIN’s book for the first time, but I had watched ALADDIN of Disney movie. I think ALADDIN of movie is more interesting than that book. I like Jasmine. She is very cute and kind girl. She is the daughter of the royal family and Aladdin is a man of class citizens. In spite of they are different class, they fall in love with each other. I yearn for love like them.

 When I watched this movie, “Pinocchio” for the first time, I was 8 years old. I don’t like lair person. I have many times that people told lie and I felt sad. There is nothing more important than not lying. Especially, lying makes people sad is the worst. So I try not to tell a lie others.

  Pinocchio is a liar boy, but he thinks that important for Geppetto. I felt good Pinocchio became a real boy because he promises to be good from now on.

“You need some foods. My little friend”[p.20]

I read this story when I was a kindergartener. My mother read for me it.

 This story makes me think about around people’s cold. If someone was in trouble something, others should help him. But there weren’t kind people around an ugly duckling. It was very wrong. I experienced like that an ugly duckling. When I experienced like that things, I was very sad. I can’t believe around people. If someone is in trouble, others must help him because others are friend with him.

 I think people can’t live if there are no friends. There is nothing more important than friends.

Climbing beanstalk and stealing some treasures were very dangerous for him, but he was not afraid doing them for his mother. It was correct that Jack gave the cow to an old man. Those things were hoping for many poor people in the world. I wish those things happen truly.

 I want to experience some mysterious experiences.This book’s picture is very cute, so it is easy for me to read
