Book Review#7 Magic Tree House#1 Dinosaurs Before Dawn

From now on I’m going to write about the Magic tree house series as the book reviews. First of all, this Magic Tree House is kind of Magic school bus series. It takes people to the different places and to the different era. The first book I read is the first story about this tree house.

The main character is Jack and Annie. There’re brother and sister and one day they found a tree house that they haven’t seen it before. They climbed up the ladder by curiosity. In the house there was full of books. He took a book on his hand and it was written about prehistoric animals. He wished he could go to that era. Then the tree house began to spin and they were gone to prehistoric era, 65 million years ago. They met a flying dinosaur called Pteranodon and named him Henry. The sister had a talent to talk to the dinosaur. They became friends. Then they also met Triceratops and Anatosauruses. They watched them very carefully but they saw a T-Rex coming. They ran to the tree house and tried to go back to the normal era but it was useless. This is because he forgot his books. He sneaked to get back the books from getting unknowed from T-Rex but the way back to the tree house he got founded. Soon the sister talked to Pteranodon to help his brother. This flying dinosaur flew straight forward to Jack and rescued him. Now they could get back to their own era.

I recommend this book because it’s very easy to read and not too long. I could read it in 20 minutes or so.

Today, I toyed my car. The part I toyed is the front bumper. There is two bars that the color is the same with the body. I didn't know that there was a thing like that. I realize that when I saw the same car with diffrent color. I thought it was coated but knew it wasn't. I was quite shocked because I didn't realize that since I bought it and it has been a year. I searched on the internet how to change the parts and where can I buy it. At the end, it says that its a part of the front bumper and I found it was sold in the internet. I bought it very cheap.

iPhone4S

Last sunday I changed my cell phone to the new iPhone4S!! It's the brand new iphone that is been sold. The "Softbank" said that the fee for the iPhone itself will be free, if I deal to use it for 2 years. My formal one costs about 7000 yen per month but if I change it to the iPhone, I only have to pay the basic fee only which costs aabout 5000 yen. So it would be cheaper if I change it.

The feedback of using iPhone is "Too high technology". My older one were high technology enough but iPhone is too high technology so I can't achieve mastery of using it.

Let me give you an example. There're 2 ways to send a mail. First one is the one that looks likethe normal way. You have to go to the mail and send it. But the there's another one that you can mail like a chat. Both of them could mail to both cell phone and "Smart phone"so I just want to whats the diffrence.

And most part that I can't understand is that the button which iPhone has. The buttoon that if you push it, it goes back but it for me, it goes too back. I just want to go back to a page back but it goes all the way back to the mail menu!!

Trail Lesson

Today I did trail lesson to get the English teacher's certificate. I've been preparing for this assigment for a week. It would be my culmination of what I've been studying last few years. I had to do a class about "relative pronoun (Who)" and I have to do 40 minutes class. I've done trail lesson in 15 minutes and 20 minutes but this time, it was my first time to a 40 minutes class. Before I do the class, I was very anxious not nervous, because I still didn't remember when and what to say and what to do in which steps.

During the class, the time went by faster then I expected. I finished the class so I still had 10 minutes left. So, I taught what I did this morning.

This is what I did. This morning before I came to school, I went to a convienince store to print out the papers what I'll use in the class. The printer that cost 10 yens to print out one paper. I printed out 30 papers so I payed 500 yens to the machine and I was supposed to have 200 yens as a change but I forgot to take it!! I lost my 200 yens.

So I used this phrase in the class; A: Mr.Sakumoto is a man. B: He forgot to take his changes.

The students will answer "Mr.Sakumoto is a man who forgot to take his changes".

Everyone in the class were having fun and said it was easy to understand what I was teaching. Most people said my class has a power of healing and it was a fun class. I didn't knew I had the power of healing but I glad my class were fun and simple(in the positive way). Finally the class is over and my great weight off of my shoulders.

First the bus changed into a hot air balloon so that they could study about the hot air rises which concerns to the weather a lot. They have traveled five hundred miles and got to one of the world’s hurricane breeding place. They have gone all the way to the equator. The class flew into the hurricane and the balloon sprung a leak and began to fall so they jumped out from the ship. Now they’re like doing sky diving but the clouds surrounding them were full of bolts and lighting. They thought it would be all over but the plane appeared and now they’re all right except Arnold. This is the ridiculous part of this story that the teacher knew when Arnold couldn’t come back, Ms. Frizzle, marked his absent and said he would be all right. He fell all the way down and got saved by the fishing boat.
