Do you like this story?
Yes, I do. I like adventure stories and this story is one of the best stories among the adventure stories that I read. This book took me a few days to read, and it made me wonder the story everyday. This story is very interesting and thrilling. During I was reading this book, I was imagining the amazing sea and the Nautilus ship. If I can, I want to ride  the Nautilus and travel the ocean.

On a scale of 1 to 10, how would you rate this book?
I would rate this book an 8. This story is full of interest and I am so amazed at the fact that the author, Jules Verne, has a specific things about the  nowadays' developed submarine (Nautilus Ship). Furthermore, when Jules Verne wrote this story, the submarine was not developed. I was very surprised at the author's imagination.

Learn how to swim

Last winter, my mom made my younger brother and me learn how to swim every morning. Even it was a vacation, I have to get up at seven every day.

The first day of swimming lessons, I was very nervous and worried about the swimming lesson, even though last summer, I learned how to swim for one month. Well, I didn't want to have swimming lessons, but my mom forced me to do.

Anyway, the first lesson started, and I my teacher said me to swim to know my swimming ability. But, I couldn't swim freestyle.  So, the teacher decided to teach me the freestyle first. When I swam freestyle, I felt pain my arms and I was out of breath, so I would give up all the times. I hated that hard swimming lessons.

My swimming teacher said to me that I have to endure breathless and fix my swim posture. I practiced very hard, listened to my swimming teacher carefully and tried to fix my wrong posture. Times that I stopped in the middle of the road started to getting smaller and smaller.

Two weeks later, I could swim freestyle. Some people in the swimming pool that I met everyday, told me that my swimming is very developed than first. I was so happy to be praised. That time, I started to enjoy swimming and even after the swimming lesson, I swam and swam.

And I started to learn the new skill, ,backstroke. When I swim the backstroke, I would drink the swimming pool's water by mistake many times. And also, I learned the breaststroke, but a very very little of them. So, now I cannot do backstroke and breaststroke well.

Next time I learn how to swim, I want to develop my backstroke and breaststroke skills.

Ode to my eraser

Where are you?
Where are you?
Oh my precious eraser

You're so light that
you go out of my sight
You're so quiet that
I can't find you

You're so valuable
You fix my mistake
But you're escapable
You run away from me

Sseuk ssak sseuk ssak (sound of erasing)
You're getting smaller
You devote yourself
erasing my mistakes

I'm sorry. But I love you.
When a piece of your body
fall out, I feel pain, too
Thank you and sorry , eraser.

My Favorite Singer.

I have two singer groups that I love very very much. They are Big Bang and Busker Busker.
I'm always waiting for their new songs, and when I listen to musics, I always listen to their songs.

Big Bang is a group of five members. G-Dragon, TOP, Seung Li, Tae Yang, and Dae Sung.
I have liked Big Bang from when I was fourth grade. All of Big Bang members have their own benefit.
First, the leader, G-dragon, can makes awesome songs and lyrics. Also, his voice is very good and he wears clothes very well. Second, TOP, maybe  I think everyone recognize his face. His face is superior. And his voice is very unique, his voice is low and something attractive. Third, the youngest, Seung Li is very cute and handsome.  I can't explain about his face. He is cute but also handsome. He also sings well.
Fourth, Tae Yang, even though he is not tall, he dances well and his voice is very very awesome and attractive. He sings well, of course. Last, Dae Sung is very cute when he smiles and he is very funny sings very very very well.  All of Big Bang members have attractive voice, sing very very very very well, and their faces are very very good.

I like SuperStarK3 the TV audition program. There was a band who placed second, Busker Busker. I have been fallen in Busker Busker's vocal with play guitar Jang Bumjun. I didn't fall only in his face. I thought his face is normal but when I saw him play guitar and singing with very attractive voice, I started to fall in him.
And now I think his face is very cute although his face is little bit long and can dance well, I think all of these things are very cute because he is Jang Bumjun. His band Busker Busker was a band who made their own songs and busk in the street. I can listen to their own songs from Busker Busker's Fan cafe. I fell in their songs, and nowadays, I listen to only their own songs and Busker Busker's own songs. Jang Bumjun was recognize as music genius that makes songs very very well and play guitar very very very well.


For these reasons, I'm really looking forward of their new songs maybe in March or April.....
I hope Big Bang and Busker Busker succeed  well without any problems. I love them because of not only their faces, their ability.I don't like singers who have just good faces. I like singers who have attractive voice and sing well. And they are Big Bang and Busker Busker. I always cheer them up!
