And as it is possessed, I take him from the place and have left.

When spring came, Gerda who goes out to look for chi was there to be seen. A girl listens to voice of the sun, a flower and an animal, and keeps traveling. I get a carriage by the way and help of a prince and a princess, but that's attacked by a bandit by origin. You can inform Gerda rescued by bandit's daughter went in the pigeon my daughter felt which was cute and that Kay went on the place which tries to be killed at the last instant to the north. Gerda gets on the back of the reindeer bandit's daughter lent, and arrives in queen's palace of snow finally.

Gerda who found chi is glad to shed tears and dissolves a fragment of mirror who ran into a heart of chi in the tear. Boy chi took back the original gentleness, and two people took a hand each other and returned to home.

essay:03 My hometown

My hometown is Yatsushiro. Yatsushiro is located south of Kumamoto. I have lived for 20 years there, and I really like my hometown. Yatsushiro has a lot of good points such as food, agriculture, and a fireworks festival.
First, the food is so fresh and tasty. Especially, I like tomatoes. Tomatoes from Yatsushiro is known to many people and they are popular in Japan. Also the production of vegetables is flourishing. Potatoes, cabbage, and onions are tasty. People who live in Yatsushiro always can eat fresh and tasty vegetables and we can eat fresh seafood because it is near the sea. There is oyster house near my house, and it is so popular in my hometown.
Second, agriculture is also thriving. Igusa is the main agricultural product of Yatsushiro. Igusa is a part of tatami. Tatami is the popular mats in Japan, However, there are a lot of houses which don’t have it. I’m proud of tatami of Yatsushiro, so I really like it.
Third, our fireworks festival is so good. The fireworks festival is so popular and famous in Japan. Many people visit my hometown. Every year, I am excited when we get close to the day every year. Fireworks are so awesome and interesting. Everyone can have fun to see it. I recommend you come to this festival.
There are good points, but there are bad points. One bad point is the transportation network. I think that transportation of Yatsushiro is bad. Almost all people use their car. In addition, the Yatsushiro area is so big, so a car is necessary. Roughly, there are buses. However, the number is small and it isn’t convenient. I think that we should improve the public transportation network more and more. If improve it, Yatsushiro would be a better city.

My hometown is so beautiful and full of nature. Of course, there are some bad points. But furthermore, there are many good points. I really like my hometown.                323/993

essay:02 treasure

My treasure is Kimono. Actually, I have learned Japanese dance for 8 years. In japan, says nihonbuyou. When I was 6 years old, I started to learn it. Of course, I had to put on kimono by myself every week. Put on kimono by myself is so difficult and hard, so I was struggled at that time. Now, I can put on kimono by myself.

I have a lot of kimono in my home. Especially, I have many kimonos for practice. Kimonos for practice are cheaper than ones for performance, so I have a lot of it. I has 11 kimonos. Although I had learn it for 8 years, I became to dislike Japanese dance at once. Practice is so hard, and my lesson teacher is so strict for me. When I was started to learn it, I'm so young among students. So I was not good at it.

Actually, I had thought that Japanese dance isn't cool and modern dance is so cool. However, Japanese dance is so beautiful and awesome. I could notice it. Recently, People who isn't interested in Japanese tradition and culture are increasing. We have to interest and know about it more and more. I think that knowing about our country is so important things. We can reconfirm good point and bad point of our culture and tradition by knowing our country. Therefore I think that I had learn it was really good.

Also I have another treasure. It is comic books. I really like Japanese comic books since I was junior high school student. Especially, I like girl’s comics. Usually, I buy 3 or 4 comic books every month. The most newest comic books is otoriyoseouji. This is comics of foods. When I read it, I want to eat them and stimulate the appetite.
