Interesting Book
The prince and the pauper is an interesting book. First, there are two main characters who are born on the same day, and their faces are so similar that they look like twins. However, their lives are very different! One is a prince named Edward and he will be a king someday. The other is a pauper named Tom and he begs money on the streets of London. Their characters are so kind and loyal from the point of helping people. They are so similar expect for their different lives. Secondly, the phrases are interesting. There are a few phrases that are used for a king and a prince. The phrases are used to express respect toward the king and the prince, because people believe that the king and the prince are so great. For example, there are the phrases " Long live!" and " Your Majesty." The former is used when people want the king and the prince to live for a long time. People don't just say " Long live!" they shout " Long live!" They really hope for a long life of the king and the prince. The latter is used when people talk to a king. They say to the king " Your Majesty," after they bowed. It is so surprising that they really respect the king. Finally, the plot of this book is interesting. One day, Tom and Edward meet and they change places because Edward wants to make friends. They enjoy it for a short time, and they learn the differences between the life of the rich and the poor from each other. Tom learn that there are too many servants in the house of the prince, so he says that he doesn't need so many servants. Also especially, Edward learns the life of the poor. They live in one room and don't have enough food. Edward becomes a king, not Tom, and he is a very good and nice king, because he has learned about the life and problems of the poor. The rich can't understand the place of the poor until the rich experience the life of the poor. The Prince and the Pauper is a exciting book.

WONDERFUL Time
The Palm Court is a restaurant where you can have a nice time. There are a few reasons that will absolutely convince you. First, the atmosphere was so calm and relaxing, because of restful white color of walls. Also music was classical, so it matches the atmospfere that was being made by theme. It was so refreshing and quiet. When you are ushered to your table, you will be surprised, because of the many forks, knives, spoons and glasses of the table setting. Secondly, the food is so delicious and there is so much of it! I ordered a chicken and cheese sandwich. It tasted yummy! I was surprised that it was so big and amount of salad was so much. But the cost was 10 dollars, so it was cheaper than I expected. Also, I was so surprised that the hamburger that my friend ordered was so big. The amount of french fries was so much that were too much for her to eat all of them. If you go there, I recommend the sandwich or the hamburger. You will be surprised at the quantity. Finally, the servers were so kind and plesant, because they were attentive. When I wanted to order, they came quickly, before I said "excuse me." When my friend's water was low, they noticed right away and filled it up. Also, their smiles were so nice and cool, and it makes you want to go there again. I highly recommend the Palm Court restaurant to you!!

Interesting Things In My Hometown :-)
I would like to introduce Osaka to you!! I love Osaka, because it is my hometown, and there are many interesting and impressive things that you will always remember. First, there is the interesting word, "maido." It is word that exists only in Osaka. You can hear "maido" at shopping arcades. It means 'Hello.' or 'thank you,' but there is a more profound meaning. When maido is written by Chinese character, it means thanks for coming again and again. So if you hear this word, it will be interesting to you, and you will feel warm. Secondly, there is a wonderful and interesting firework display. It is the PL firework display, and takes place every August first, and shoots off about 120,000 firewoks, but in 2008 it shot off only about 20,000 fireworks. The PL firework display last shot off about 8,000 fireworks at a stretch, which is called "the atmic bumb firework." The number of sightseers is about 300,000 people, and the PL firework display is recognized around the world. Also the awesome sound reverberate through the sky, and fireworks turn the dark sky into light in an instant, and it is interesting and impressive!! Finally, there is a festival that takes place every autumn and represents Japan. It is colled the danjiri festival. It has been taking place since 1703, and it has prided the very long history and tradition for over 300 years. Danjiri has a few drums, bells and flutes. They are very interesting sounds. Also danjiri festival has two ropes that are 100 meters, and about 500 people have it in your hands and run yelling "sorya sorya." This attracts many visitors from all over the world. The danjiri festival takes place for two days. On the first day, it starts at 6:00 a.m.. It is very beautiful and impressive, especially, from 7:00 p.m. to 10:00p.m., there are many Japanese lanterns all around the danjiri. On the second day, the danjiri goes in the shrine and the festival ends. The festival is really interesting and moving and will live in your memory!!
