My favorite foods.

First, I like sweets, for example, chocolate and cake, pudding. They are very good taste, and they make me happy. But I like japanese sweets like better than western sweets, because western sweets too sweet taste. So I am tired of it. I always eat western sweets when I am tired, so I think I am very happy. Japanese sweets are easy to eat, so I can eat many it. Specially, I like a warabi-mochi. It is very easy for me to eat, so when I go to convenience store, I buy it. It is very good taste, so I want to eat it that I go to Kyoto. Because, Kyoto has a lot of very good japanese foods. I hope I make an eating tour someday.

Second, I like a udon. Udon is very plain food, so I like a taste. And it is easy to eat, so I can eat three meals. My friends likes, too, so when we eat out, we usually go to udon shop. So I want to teach me many delicious udon shops.

Third, I like fruits. Specially, I like a strawberry. Strawberry is so good taste and sweet, so it makes me happy. When my birthday, my birthday cake is made many strawberry. It is very good, but it is so expensive. So it cannot eat only my birthday. Strawberry has many types, so I want to eat many types someday. And I want to eat that cake is made many strawberry.

Fruits and vegetables

I introduce that I made cross fruits and vegetables.

 
First, the name is "potalemon", it crossed potato and lemon. It is good point that lemon is more fresh potato, so we will be able to eat many potatoes. But it has a bad point, too. It is too hard, so when we eat it, we are tired.

 
Second, the name is "cherryber", it crossed cherry and cucumber. It good point is good taste, so we can eat easily. But it has a bad point, too. It is bad looks, so we maybe do not eat it.

Sad and surprise

On Thursday, my grandfather' s older sister died of disease. She was 95 years old, and she was constantly in and out of hospital. So my relatives understood that she will die soon.

After that, my mother, my older sister and me visited her house. There were many relatives in her house. And her husband stayed near her ever. We saluted him, and we put our hands. When I visited in my grandfather' s house, she always warmly welcomed me. So I was very sad, and I told her "thank you". My grandfather died last year, and he was 80 years old. So I think she lived a long life.We came back home the day soon.

Next day, I got up, and I went to living room. So my mother said her husband died too. I was very surprise, because he was vigorous and he talked with relatives yesterday. So I really can not believe it, and I thought such things happend. So I thought a woman must not die than a man.

 I want to get early a driver' s license, because I want to go to many places with my friends by my car. So I usually go to there, and I practice to drive. But I am not good at driving, so I often take ground a sidewalk. I am noticed every time by my teacher, so I think do my best.

My father and mother are very good at driving, so I can ride their car comfortable. But I always depend on them, so they always say "you must get early a driver' s license, or we are very tired!" I think so too, so I really want to do my best. And I want to imitate them. My goal is getting a driver' s license to summer vacation. If I get it, I want to go to shopping mall for the first time. I really looking forward to it.
