My favorite sports

I'm going to write about my favorite sports. I have two favorite sports. One of my favorite sports is soccer. I like soccer because it is very exciting. The soccer game makes me very excited. When I was an elementary school student, I have belonged to soccer club. I was not good at playing it, but I liked it. It is very difficult and hard for me to play it, so I like better watching soccer games than playing it. The other sport is basketball.

For example, I like tennis, swim and track and field. However, I like soccer and basketball better.

How I study during the vacation


I will study English grammar mainly because I'm not good at English grammar. It is hard for me to solve the grammar problem. In addition, if I understand all English grammar, I can do other things easily. For example, I can read long English sentence and listen to English conversation and announcement and write English sentence myself. I want to be able to do anything of English. I will listen English every day in summer vacation for I can understand English speaker's conversation. I'm not good at listening English too, so I will listen English until my ears are used to listening English.

BR 2-02: The Three Little Pigs (Georgien Overwater, 2007)




"He slid down the chimney and landed splash in Poppy's cooking pot. The three little pigs slammed on the lid."


This story is a famous story all over the world. Almost all people may know it. This story is about the three pigs build their own houses using straw, stick and brick each other. Then The big bad wolf come their houses. Straw and stick's house were broken by him, but brick's house is very strong. At last, the three pigs exterminated the big bad wolf.

I was scared it when I read for the first time. I read it when I was a five years old, so I was very afraid of it. However, I can't help laughing this book when I read it now. I like the scene that the big bad wolf slids down the chimney and landed splash in Poppy's cooking pot, and the three little pigs slammed on the lid. I laugh this scene every time I read.

In addition, I could understand that if I'm prepared, I don't have to worry. It is a Japanese proverb. I think it is very important for everyone to know this proverb.
