Essay 1-02b: Baseball

I had to post this essay in May. This is overdue. However, I post it because I think that not doing is worse than overdue.


I will write about baseball. I like baseball very much. Baseball is most interesting sport, I think.

I like to play baseball. I belonged to baseball club when I was an elementary school student. I often practiced baseball after school. I had belonged to the club for three years. It was so interesting. I played some positions at the club. In four grade, I played short. In five grade, I played the outfield; a right fielder, a left fielder and a center fielder. I was substitute player in six grade, because I didn't practice hard. However, the baseball club is my good memory now.

I like to watch baseball game, too. I sometimes watch professional baseball game on TV. My favorite teams are Hiroshima Toyo Carp and Fukuoka Softbank Hawks. Carp is a backbone team in central league. Carp is rank 5 now. I want Carp to go up rank 3, because above rank 3 team can enter a climax series. Hawks is strong team in pacific league, but Hawks is in a slump now. Hawks is rank 4 now. We can see ranking of professional baseball at this web site. →http://bis.npb.or.jp/2010/stats/ My favorite baseball player is Munenori Kawasaki who belongs to Hawks. He is very passionate.

Kawasaki took part in world baseball classic. This is the largest baseball mass meeting in the world. Japan team won two games straight. In other words, Japanese baseball is strongest in the world. This is great thing, I think. I am proud of this fact as Japanese! At this mass meeting, Ichiro was great. He was in a slump, but he played an active role at the final game. He is the best baseball player in the world! We can see details about world baseball classic at this web site. →http://www.npb.or.jp/wbc/

Baseball is my favorite sport. I want to watch koushien in Osaka in next my summer vacation!

Mt. Kinpo

Today, I went to Mt. Kinpo after school with my motorcycle, BALIUS-Ⅱ.
I ran orange road which is the most famous winding road on Mt. Kinpo. This is first time to run orange road with BALIUS-Ⅱ. I felt so great!
However, the air was not clear. I couldn't see good sight. It was so unlucky...

BR 1-13: The Great Race

I read an illustrated book, The Great Race.

This is a story about one grandmother and her grandchildren, Biff and Chip. Gran wanted a new car, but Biff and Chip liked Gran's old car. Gran bought the fast car, and she drove it home. Her daughter said, "that car is too fast". Gran was upset.

Suddenly, the magic key glowed. The magic took Biff, Chip and Gran to a race which is the Monte Carlo Rally. There was a car for Gran. A man looked at Gran. He called the Baron. He is a bad man. "Ha! You won't win," Baron said. The race started.

A man changed the signpost to have Baron won, but they didn't see the sign post. They run to right way. They came to the mountain. There were many blind corner. Baron put oil on the road. "That will stop them," he said. Gran's car skidded on the oil, and it crashed through the fence. They went down the mountain. They backed to the way. The Baron was behind. She was winning the race. Gran turned on to a bridge. After they finished crossing the bridge, the bridge broke. The Baron's car crashed down into the river. Gran won the race!

The magic key glowed. The magic took them to real world.

Gran took the fast car which is Gran bought back. She bought a little car.

I like fast car. However, I understand that too fast at a public thoroughfare is so dangerous. A public thoroughfare and a circuit are different. In this story, Gran understand it. This is my favorite illustrated book.

BR 1-12: Scarecrows

I read an illustrated book. Scarecrows.

This is a story about brother Chip and sister Biff. They had a little garden and they put in plants. One day, the birds pecked the plants. Biff and Chip had an idea. "Let's make a scarecrow." They made a scarecrows. Chip name a scarecrows Fred.
Suddenly, the key began to glow. The magic took them to a field. The scarecrow came to life. "I'm alive! It's magic!" Fred called. They heard about scarecrows barn dance. Biff and Chip couldn't go, because they weren't scarecrows. Fred had an idea. Fred made Biff and Chip into scarecrows. They went to dance.
They danced with many scarecrows. They had a very good time. However, the key glowed suddenly. It was time to go home.
The magic took them home. They had an good idea. They made a girl scarecrows next to Fred.

Chip and Biff are very kind children, I think. They thought that stay alone, Fred felt lonely. Fred is a most happy scarecrow in the world, I think.

Presentation in speaking class

We presented about Estonia in speaking class today. I put an our manuscript here. We did well, I think!
Good afternoon everyone!

We will start to our presentation. We looked over about Estonia.

A formally name is the Republic of Estonia. Estonia has a population of about 1,340,000. Estonia has a population as many as Okinawa. Japan is nine times as large as Estonia. The capital city is Tallinn. Common language is Estonian.

Estonia has many good places. We introduce these.
Prunu is called "summer city in Estonia". Prunu has beautiful white beach and fascinating old town.
Pruzamer is a famous fruit wine producing area. Grapes doesn't grow in Pruzamer, so people who live in Pruzamer makes wine from fruit. For example, they makes wine from apples.
Sarlemer island is in Baltic Sea. There is a much popular spot in Estonia. Sarlemer island has some precious animals and very beautiful sights.

Estonia is not famous and popular in Japan. However, Estonia is very attractive country. If I have enough money and time, I want to go Estonia in my vacation.


I became being well informed about Estonia. Estonia is a country better than everyone thinks.

A memory of touring ~making a round of Ariake sea~

In March, I made a round of Ariake sea with my motorcycle, CBR.

I left home at 7:00 a.m. I went to Kumamoto port to ride car ferry which goes to Shimabara. The weather forecast said "It will be sunny today". However, it was cloudy. I wished that the sun come out. I took a picture of sea mews. I like sea mews.

After that, a ship arrived Shimabara port. When I ran R57, I found the road which looks intersting. It was Mayuyama green road. I turned the handle to this way. Mayuyama green road was exciting winding road, but this road connected with Shimabara. I was back to near Shimabara port. mmm...

Pulling myself together, I went Mt. Unzen. I had wanted to go there. I expected beautiful sight, but the weather was bad. It was very cold and I couldn't beautiful sight. The top of Mt. Unzen was covered by cloud... What a shame!

Second, I went to Obama. I ate channpon there. It wasn't delicious, but it didn't taste awful. And it was expensive. hmm...

Next, I ran to Kuchinotsu port to ride a ferry which goes to Amakusa. I rode a ferry, and I talked with another rider. He came from Arao city. He had big motorcycle. It was good encounter.

After I got off a ferry, I ran five bridges in Amkusa. There is most famous road in Amakusa, but I had run there many times. I passed there. Honesty, I can come here whenever.

At the last, I went Ishiuchi-dam. A road which is connected to a dam is narrow and dirty. Moreover, there were nothing to see. I may not go there again...

I came home at 4:00 p.m, and I started to do part time job at 5:00. I was very tired on the day...
It was not good touring. I couldn't take pictures which I like. Everything wasn't going well. Well, such a touring exist once in a while. I want to go Mt. Unzen on sunny day!

Today, I got a new motorcycle! At once, I ride this motorcycle. I made a round of the Uto peninsula. My new motorcycle is so fast and comfortable. I have really taken to this motorcycle.

I am going to go many places where I want to go with this motorcycle. I have to handle this motorcycle carefully.

By the way, I met my classmate in Kumamoto Gakuen University at misumi port today. We were very surprised. I had never dreamed that I met him. We were having a chat for a while.

Defeat...

The Japanese soccer team lost a close game to the Paraguayan team. The game ended 0 to 0, but Japanese team defeated a penalty shoot-out.
However, most of people didn't think that Japanese team can't play in the finals at FIFA world cup. They are very good job, I think!
By the way, Syunsuke Nakamura had never enter the game at world cup. Why? I wanted to see him playing, but I couldn't. Manager Okada said that 'Syunsuke is a secret weapon'. I can't understand what he think.
