Hey, this post is going to be the last post in this semester, so I'll introduce one of my favorite band, "Maroon 5". I think, you guys have heard this name or listened to their song in a car CM. This is the song of it.



So, you have listened to it once, right? I don't explain about them today, but you can check them on any sites of the Internet. And you are going to be their fan, I think...

So, as I said, this is the last post of this semester, BUT I'm going to keep posting in summer vacation as well. So please check my blog when you have time, nothing to do, or whenever you want.

BR 1-12: Feel the Wind

This is the last book review of this semester, "Feel the Wind". This is one of the series of 'Let's-Read-And-Find-Out-science'. I like to know something new, so I picked up this book. You can find something about the wind in this book, and you may understand where the wind come from.

We can't see the wind, but we can see the wind move things. And we can hear the wind and we can feel the wind, too. People have used the power of moving air for thousands of years. Wind brings changes in the weather. For example, rainstorms blow in with the wind, and again as the wind pushes the clouds along. The wind blows gently, and the wind blows strong. you can figure out which way the wind is blowing by watching a leaf, a piece of cloth or string, or a weather vane.

I don't recommend you to read this book, but I also recommend you to read this book. I mean, it's completely up to you. If you are like me, you will read this, but if you are not like me, you don't read this book. But all I can say is that let's feel the wind! Wind brings us comfortable, I guess.

BR 1-11: Frog and Toad Are Friends

I also read this book "Frog and Toad Are Friends". I like this series because it's really sweet. As usual, this book contains 5 chapters, and today I will talk about "A swim" in the chapters.

Frog and Toad went to a river to swim. And Frog put on his bathing suit. But He doesn't want anyone to look at him because he looks funny in his bathing suit. Unfortunately, Toad tell about this to turtle, dragonfly, and so on, and they wanted to look at frog. Finally, Frog climbed out of the river, and they laughed him because he looks funny.

BR 1-10: Starfish

I read this book "Starfish". This is kind of picture book, and it has just 479 words. But I can know how starfish live.

The most amazing thing in this book is that if starfish loses their a ray, they just grows another ray. For example, a crab pull it off to eat, or a rock fall on it, they don't feet hurt. It doesn't bother the starfish. The starfish just grows another ray as I said.

I could enjoy reading this book, but I think that some people don't want to read this book because it is useless. So it's up to you whether you read or not.

How to make 'Kimo-han(きも飯)'

Hey, you guys! Do you guys like eating? What kind of food do you all like? Japanese food? Korean food? Chinese food? French or Italian? Or American? There is a lot of different kind of foods in this world, and you guys want to eat them, don’t you? I’m guessing you’ve wanted to cook them at home. But we can’t make them easily, right? Well, today, I’m going to introduce an American cuisine which everybody can make easily at home. It’s easier than “Q■ 3 minutes cooking”. Are you ready to start??

First of all, you need ingredients. Don’t worry, you only need just 6 different ingredients to make this cuisine. Let’s take a look at them. Rice, milk, banana, raisins, cinnamon, and brown sugar. That’s all. Okay, next, you need to make preparations of the ingredients. Firstly, cook the rice, and cut the banana into round slices.

Okay, let’s take a look at how we do this. First, fill a bowl with the rice. Second, pour some milk on the bowl of rice. And then, add the bananas and raisins. Then sprinkle some cinnamon and sugar on top. If you want to you can also warm it up or eat it cold.

See? It’s pretty easy, isn’t it? Oh, by the way, it may be a little late, but the name of this cuisine is "きも飯". "きも飯" derives from 2 words in Japanese, "きもい" and "ご飯". In English, these words literally mean “disgusting rice”. The previous exchange students taught me this cuisine when they were here. One of them said, “It’s pretty easy and for Japanese it is きもいー!!!”

Anyway, making "きも飯" is a three-step process. First, you prepare the 6 ingredients; next, you make the preparations for the ingredients; and finally, you add the ingredients. You can make such a nice dish at home and this recipe can also be enjoyed anytime, anywhere. I’m pretty sure it will be hard for you to finish this on your first try, I mean, it was for me! However, please try it again and again, and you will be able to enjoy the taste and it might perhaps become your favorite food. You can make it, too! If you have forgot how to make it, whenever feel free to ask me anytime. I’ll teach you the way.

Thank you for reading!

BR 1-08: Nate The Great and the Stolen Base

I also read this book, "Nate The Great and the Stolen Base". The reason why I chose this book is that good cover and nobody borrowed this before me.

The main character is Nate, and he is a detective called Nate the Great and is a baseball player. He belongs a baseball team. One day, the second base of the team was lost. His team mate was supposed to bring it the practice, but he didn't. So, Nate started finding the base. By the way, when they play baseball, they use strange bases, a large tune can for first base, a large dog bone for third base, and an octopus for second base. The lost base is octopus, so Nate tried to find it again and again, and asked people to get some clues. Finally, he found it

I recommend you to read this book. It's kinda difficult, but you can think about where is the base with him. Besides, this book contains fun activities. It contains notes about baseball, octopus, how to make snacks and so on. You can enjoy the contents!

BR 1-06: How Mountains Are Made

This time I read this book. The reason why I chose this book is that this book cover is nice and I was impressed. Immediately I wanted to know how mountains are made when I found this book. This book is kind of picture book, but it contains a lot of explanations about how mountains are made.

Millions of years ago, mountains were a flat under an ocean. All sorts of sea animals lived right there. But that was a looooooong time ago. The earth is always changing, so mountains are worn away by wind, rain, and ice. Now mountains formed where there were no mountains before. Mountains in different parts of the world look very different from one another. For example, some have sharp, others are more rounded, still others are block shaped, and a few are shaped like tall cones. Why Mountains in different parts of the world look very different from one another? It's because in different parts of the earth the outer shell moves in different ways.

Most volcanic mountains are formed in places where one plate pushes under another. In fiery blasts, magma is thrown onto the earth's surface. It cools and hardens, and mountains are built. Some mountains have been around for hundreds of millions of years, and others are still being built up right now. The highest mountain in the world, Mt. Everest, is younger mountain, and it's still being pushed up higher. According to this book, Mt. Everest may be growing as much as two inches each year!

I recommend you to read this book because this is really useful and interesting! You can know how mountains are made easily with some pictures.
