Neighbors

community life

I want to talk about neighbors of my house. My house was built by my grandparents. So, our family and our neighbors have known for a long time. My neighbors are very kind and get well each other. I know my neighbors well. I’ll introduce the area that I live and two neighbors who I know very much.

I live in Ogawa Town in Uki City. Ogawa has many natures and is a country. I like it very much. The area I live is the busiest area in Ogawa. The road in front of my house is big. So, even in midnight, big tracks go through the road and my house shake a little. My relatives who come to my house once a two or three years said “My lifetime became short a little by shakes like earthquakes”

One of them is a woman who lives next to ma house. Her age is same with my grandfather and she lives by herself. She often comes to my house to see my grandmother and grandfather and enjoy talking and tea. She knows me and my three sisters. When I was a child she worked as a deliverer of juice. I was looking forward that she came to my house every day.

Another is a woman who lives across from my house. Her house is a temple. My kindergarten was there and she was my teacher. She smiled every day and I liked her very much. Now, my kindergarten was closed because children decreased. I was sad when my kindergarten was closed. But, our good relation last still now. Recently, I don’t meet her so much. Every time we meet, we talk for a while about something new. I enjoy it.

My town is not so big, but there are many good points. One of good points is people. There are many good people around my house. Two women I introduced and my grandparents have known each other since they had built the house. It is about 30 years ago. I feel we are good community.

Text for Writing

I enjoy reading orange book very much. I use them when I get on the train or my free time. Reading books is my good way to pass time. It takes a long time to read whole story. Some times it makes me bored. It’s when I can’t understand the story. But when I understand it, I’m happy. English is difficult but reading book is a good way to memorize English words.

Friendship ＆Adventure

Today’s topic is Toy Story. This movie is very famous and popular in the world. Everyone who watched it must have enjoyed it. I was not so interested in it. But I really enjoyed it and it is now my favorite CG animation. It received a prize Academy Award. Do you know the second story of it? I don’t know but I want to watch it. I want to introduce my favorite scenes of the first story.

First is that toys of Andy worry about what they are left from Andy when he move. So, Woody suggests to pair up with another toy. I like the fellow feeling that toys try to unite as all toys move with Andy. This worry is just like toys’. Their feeling is very cute. If I was someone’s toy, I think I have same anxiety.

Second is the scone Woody and toys of Sid try to revenge on him to save Buzz. Sid is a bad boy. I don’t like him. He likes to adapt toys. He is the enemy for toys. But, after this revenge, he is surprised and comes to be scared of toys. I feel refreshed.

Third is the scene all toys try to save Woody and Buzz and finally they come back to Andy. Finally, Toys can’t save Woody and Buzz and they can come back to Andy because of the rocket which Sid fixed to Buzz. I like this scene the best. Even if they split some time, they need each other and help each other. It is lovely friendship.

These scenes are my favorite scene. What scene do you like? Many cute characters and a lot of adventure and a lovely friendship entertain me. It is very interesting story. I can understand toy’s feeling. I like Woody anyway.
