Essay2-02a Website Review

I want to write about my study on websites.

At first, about Cameron Diaz. I admire her. Since her smile is charming, I can’t believe she is 30 years old over. I want to know source of her attraction. I found her smile was well.

As a child, she was called "Skeletor," because of her infection smile. She has capable to make other smile. I want smile like her.

She left at 16, and live at about 5 countries; Japan, Australia, Mexico, Morocco and Paris. I envy her. Bur coming the chance like this, I can’t challenge. I also have an anxiety to go alone. I will be lonely. She is a good challenger. I feel those invaluable experiences have formatted what she is.

Cameron got many prizes. For example, she was chosen by Empire magazine as one of the “100sexuest Stars” in film history in 1995. And People Magazine chose her as one of the “50 Most Beautiful” people in the world in 1998.

Next I’ll explain about Halloween. Halloween is coming soon! I long for Halloween parade to dress-up and walk around saying “Trick or treat”. I have never done yet. I don’t know about it well, so I learn.

Halloween is All Hollows Eve. The day, on November 1st, is an important date on the Catholic calendar. I have understood Christmas is a Christian event, but I found Halloween is, too. Therefore Halloween provides all over the world. The website I fond says each countries have different traditional. It is interesting. I want to try to visit these countries on the day!

Halloween is a time to observe and honor saints. Then people believed that the souls of the dead come back to earth to visit their families or friends on Nov.1. I feel this is like Japanese obon. On the day, Japanese light Japanese lanterns. On Halloween, lanterns made by pumpkin are lighted. It is quite similar, I feel.

I think Halloween has exciting a ceremony whish obon doesn’t have. It is to dress-up and walk around the town asking “Trick or treat”, I said before. The parade is to discourage and frighten away these spirits. They believe the spirits are evils. While Japanese believe spirits are our ancestors, and my family. So in my opinion we don’t have noisy ceremony like Halloween.

On website, there are huge information. More and more I search on net, more and more I got new knowledge. (408words)

My Speach

I spoke about “Travel” at my speaking class. I’ll introduce my manuscript.

Hi, I want to talk about my travel. I went to S. Korea last my vacation. There were many interesting things.

1. A starch picker
A picker is a tool. You often use it to rid dust off. In Japan, it is wooden, right? But in Korea, it’s made from starch. Starch is in rice, flow and potato. So we can eat it. And it has colorful. I found green one.

2. Meals
@Pickle on every time
There were pickles anytime we had meals. And they were free. So when a dish empty, the stuff cater more.
→Kimch; Korea is famous for kimch. Of cause, I often ate it and saw it. When I visit market, much red pepper was sold. Koreans seems to make kimch at home. I also found chocolates having red pepper. I tried it. It is a little spicy, but taste was the chocolate.
→Green pickles; It is Japanese radish. It was pickled with wasabi and vinegar. It is colorful.
@Dish
As you see, some dishes are silver. Not pottery like Japanese. Do you know why it is? I heard the reason chopsticks made by iron. It is to use for an arm when enemy offend while having meal.
I have another thing I found at dinner. Korean use scissors to cut food. I know they use it to cut meat at BBQ. However they use it to cut seafood. When I had the seafood, the stuff did. We use food scissor to break shell of crabs in Japan, but I had never seen to use it to cut octopus.

3. Drive so fast
I took a taxes on anytime, I felt so fast! I looked the speed meter, it showed 100klometers per hour! It was so cool, like a roller costar. Many cars ran more than Kumamoto, but they drove fast. I thought they are good drovers.
