BR-09 Stories of Mermaids
I read “Stories of Mermaid”. This story is very famous and interesting. But they may don’t know all stories of it. There are three stories.
One of the stories, Harmony lived with her mother at the very bottom of the ocean. They were so poor they could only afford a tiny cave. This was cramped, dark and very cold. It froze their fins and took the shine off their scales. Harmony tried to keep up their sprits by singing beautiful songs. Her voice was so enchanting that passing fish had to stop and listen. One day, her mother woke up shivering all over. She was covered in blue spots and her tongue had turned purple. Harmony rushed to find Dr. Finley. The Doctor said “he is very sick”. And he told Harmony that there are good medicines of seaweed. She found out the seaweed, but there was ghost of pirate. She was taken by the ghost. But one day, she was singing songs and the ghost opens her. She could give the seaweed and chest to mother. Polkadot weed floated out, along with handfuls of coins. Harmony’ s mother was cures and they moved into a warm and cosy now cave.
It is good that she have good voice. I want to be rich like them. ^^

BR-08 The Tortoise and the Eagle
Today, I read “The Tortoise and the Eagle”. The pictures are so cute. I like this story. The story is about a tortoise. He had everything a tortoise could want. He had a lovely log to sit on, juicy apples to eat and a very shiny shell. But he was not happy. All day long, he saw an eagle in the sky. The eagle had golden feathers and great big wings. The tortoise wanted to fly like the eagle so he tried to fly. He climbed onto a rock and jumped into the air. But he couldn’t and He flopped on to his belly. He tried to fly many times, but he couldn’t. One day, he called the eagle and he said the eagle “I want to fly like you.” The eagle took the tortoise into the sky. However, the tortoise felt very dizzy. He didn’t like it. The eagle said him “ You have no feathers and no winds. Keep your apples and your log. Be happy.” The tortoise thought I like this life style.

How I study English
First of all, I read books which are written in English everyday. It is too important for me because I can’t read a long sentence quickly.
Second, I often watch the foreign drama. At first time, I watch them with Japanese subtitles and English sounds. At next time, I watch them with English subtitles and English sounds. It’s good practice for listening.
Third, I am a staff at English Lounge. I often talk with foreign students. It is the best way to make progress in speaking. (121 words)
