My favorite dishes
I have two favorite dishes. One if them is chawan-mushi. I love chawan-mushi which my mother makes. My mother makes stock from dried shiitake mushrooms, and she mixed it with eggs. Then she put a lot of ingredients into it, for example, chickens, shiitake mushrooms, boiled fish pastes, shrimps ginkgo nuts, spinaches, udon, and so on. After that, she steams it. Eggs become soft. It was so delicious. My mother made it on special day: birthday, bon festival, New Year's Day. When I eat it, I become so happy. I want to make it very well like my mother. The other of my favorite dishes is omelet containing fried rice. I have loved since I was a child. I like both chicken pilaf and omelet. I like to put demi-glace sauce on it. I want to eat chawan-mushi and omelet containing fried rice right now.

TOEIC
On November 18th, I took TOEIC at KGU. I wanted to get high score, but I had not studied hard, so I was so nervous before the test started. The test took two hours, so I felt so long. At first, I listened English and answered questions. After that, I read the English and answered questions. Both of them were very difficult for me. I couldn't answer all of questions. I should have studied harder. I received the result of TOEIC a few months later. I try to take TOEIC again and again.

BR 2-08: The Case of the Small Fat Dog
“Let’s play at being detectives,” suggested Mouse. “Okay,” Jojo agreed. (p.17)
I picked this book because the pictures of the book are so cute. This story is about a family who met a dog by accident. At the beginning of the story, the family went camping. At night, father read a story for children, but it is not story for children. It is a terrible story. Next morning, the family went to beach. The beach was crowded, so three children, Jojo, Mouse and Pip, act together. Then, Jojo and Mouse played at being detectives. There are following phrase in the story. “I’ll be Mr Sherlock Moans, the famous grumbling…” “And I’ll be Dr What’s-Going-On, his clueless assistant.” It was fun for me. When they walked path, they noticed a dog followed them suddenly. The detectives find why the dog was following them.
If you want to know the continuation of the story, please read it.
When you read the book, you can understand many things. Why did the dog follow the children? Is the story father read for children related to encounter with children and the dog? Where is the dog from? After I read the book, I felt it was so interesting. I recommend you to read the book!

Hard day :(
Last Saturday was hard day for me. I got up at 8:00, and I prepared to go to my work place because I have to take part in the meeting. The meeting started at 9:00. First, I and my co-workers improved a flower bed in front of our restaurant. Then, we planted flowers, so there are beautiful pansies now. After that, we held meeting inside the restaurant. The head of the restaurant told us a variety of things about our duties. I thought I tried to work harder. After the meeting finished, I went home.
When I went back home, I ate brunch at 10:30. I studied for an hour because I was going to take Japanese Test. At 12:00, I left for home to KGU. At 13:00, I entered the room that the test was held. I was so nervous because it was insufficient to study for the test. Before the test started, I listened to my favorite music to calm my mind. The test started at 13:30. I did my best. Some questions were difficult for me, but I thought very hard. The test finished at 14:30. I don't know whether my answers are correct or not, but I would like to pass it!
After that, I went home again and relaxed for a while. I watched TV. At 16:30, I went to my work place because I have to work from 17:00 to 21:00. I was already tired, but I work hard. As soon as I finished my part-time job and went home, I went to bed. This is why the day was very hard day for me.
