Scotland

 I read a book written about Scotland,which is a country in Great Britain and the United Kingdom. Scotland is in the far north-west part of Europe. There are many small islands, and some of them are nearer to Norway than London. I was surprised at that.
 The capital of Scotland is Edinburgh,which is an old city with many important and interesting buildings. Edinburgh is built on hills, so you can enjoy good views. Besides Edinburgh,there are some famous cities like Glasgow.
 Many Scottish people love to play sports, especially golf. Golf began in Scotland and there are more than four hundred golf courses. Football is also important. Scotland had the tenth highest number of football clubs of any country in the world in 2006.
 As for food, Scotland is famous for fishes. There are a lot of delicious foods, however, some poor people can't eat enough. They only live to fifty-four years old. Therefore better food is important for the Scots.
 It was not until I read this book that I knew about Scotland. I want to visit there someday. On the other hand, I was shocked by some facts. I hope that Scotland will be happy country for everyone.

Happy day!

 Today is my birthday. A lot of my friends sent me e-mail and celebrated my birthday with me. When I was about to have lunch with my friends as usual, they said to me,"happy birthday Mina!"and gave me a cake,doughnuts and presents. I was surprised. On the cake, there was a face of my favorite character, so I was very happy! It was made by one of my friends. After having lunch, we ate the cake. It was very good.
 I'll never forget this wonderful day. Thank you for celebrating my birthday.

Heidi

 I read the book written about Heidi. Heidi is famous and popular in Japan because Heidi's animation was broadcasted many years ago. Of course I have known Heidi since I was young. However, it was the first time that I read the book about Heidi. Now,I think it is natural that Heidi is popular with a lot of people because this story has a happy end. When I read the last paragraph, I felt happy. As a lot of people know, the paragraph was that Clara could walk alone! Also,I like the beautiful nature in Switzerland. I want to visit there and enjoy playing like Heidi.
 This book made me happy, and I became interested in Heidi and Switzerland. If  I have time, I want to watch Heidi's animation.
