BR-05: NOISES in the NIGHT ( Carmel, 2007)

"Good night and sleep well!" (P.7)

After school, Jess went to stay with her friend Carla for the night.

Jess liked Carla's house. It was big and old, and it had lots of room for all of Carla's pets. For example, three birds, five cats, and one little dog. After dinner, they watched TV, and they began to sleep.

Carla got into bed, but Jess stayed up to reading her book. Jess looked out the window. It was black night.

Jess was going to go back to bed, when she heard a noise. "What was that?"she said. "Carla! Carla!" Jess shouted over the room to her friend. "Get up!"  However, she didn't get up.

Jess heard the noise again, and it came from outside of the window. "Oh!" Jess shouted. The noise made from Carla's cat. Jess got into bed, and the cat jumped up on top of her.

There was a little princess. Her name is Polly.

 

She was in trouble. She rode on a pony, and she got mud on her costume. The King and Queen were always angry. “Princess must not gallop,” the King said crossly. “Being a princess is boring,” said Princess Polly. “I can’t do ANYTHIG.” “You could show us your princess wave” said the Queen. 

 

The King showed princess his crown collection. On the way, Polly spotted a poster. It was written about PONY GAMES. She thought that she want to join in. The King saw the poster, and said “Of course, you can’t enter.”

She thought about her costume during the King talked about his collection.

 

On the day of the race, Polly jumped out of bed. She hides her face, and put on her costume. She rode on her pony, and galloped away to Strawberry Hill.

The race was about to begin. They were off. The pony in first place slipped in some mud. The pony in second place couldn’t stop in time. Also, the pony in third place crashed into them both. 

 

Then, Princess Pony was finished, and she was a winner. The Queen said “Off with your hat and cloak”, and she was tugging her cloak. The crowd gasped. “It’s the Princess,” they cried. “You are disgrace,” said the King. However, as he spoke the crowed began to cheer Polly. “Will you give me a wish?” said Polly. “Oh dear!” said the Queen. “I suppose we must.” Then, Polly could get a first prize.

"Pipin!" (Davidson, 2007, p. 8).

There was a little brown country mouse. His name was Pipin. He lived in a house in a hedge alone.
 

In spring, he lay in the grass and listened to the birds sing. It was made him relax. In summer, he nibbled on wild strawberries and cut grass for his winter bed.
 

One day, he heard a Tap! Tap! Tap! on his door. It was his cousin Toby. They walked around, and had dinner together in Pipin’s house. That night, Pipin went to his food store, and picked out his best nuts and berries. “In town, we can eat more food!” said Toby. Then, they went to the town in the morning.

There were a lot of people and many buildings, so Pipin was surprised. They came into a building, and played toys. They found a dining room, and they eat food very much. Then, a cat appeared in frontof them. They run, and into a hole. Pipin was very scared by the cat, so he wanted to turn back his house.

TP-15: GENERATIONS

My favorite artist is GENERATIONS. They are dance and vocal group of seven members. In addition, they belong to EXILE TRIBE, so GENERATIONS is little brother of EXILE. I had known them about three years ago. When I went to EXILE’s live, I saw they performance incidentally at Soraria in Fukuoka. For the first time, I was known just a member, whose name is Alan Shirahama, but I didn’t know other six member’s name. Then, they hadn’t known well among the people, so I could watch their live performance at the front. If I had watched their live then, I have never interested in them. Since, I began to listen to their music, and watch their music video. In addition, I become to go their live and some events, and buy their music album. If they appear at music TV, I always watch it and recorded. Maybe, next year, they are going to go to take place their own live. I want to go soon!!
