Europe Pizzeria!!

Europe Pizzeria is a very delicious Italian restaurant. First, this restaurant has a lot of kinds of pizza and pasta. These foods were made by hand. Chef recommended the lasagna because it is the specialty of the house. This lasagna put original sauce on the other. It tastes good! Second, you can choose all your favorite ingredients. For example, there is cheese, sauce, and other ingredients like spice and a size, so you can eat a unique pizza that you have created yourself. It is very interesting. Third, an atmosphere of this restaurant is very comfortable, western-style, and dim. Music is very good in this restaurant! Next, there are different chairs which are benches, stools and sofas, but the color of these chairs is same. These chairs are very fluffy chairs. You can choose your favorite chair, so I can relax. Finally, this restaurant was good service. The waiter takes care of us all of the time, and the waiter’s service was very kind; he kept smiling while I was ordering. I felt very happy. I think that it is an important thing because “the customer is always right.” I recommend this restaurant! You should go there!! It will be a good memory for you!

A Birthday Party!

We had my friend's birthday party in our house. My friend turned 20 years old! She is very funny, so we are always laughing with her. The people who live in my house are very friendly.
First, we decided to make her a gift. I made a message card and a memorie book. We wrote about a lot of things that we had done together in our house. Next, my roommate and I went to the supermarket and bought a birthday cake and snacks. We decorated the cake when we arrived to our house. We made the cake very cute!! We were very excited because today's plan was a secret from our friend. We cooperated with each other to do it, and we wore interesting costumes. we looked like comedians, so it was very fun!! Then we waited for her after school. We shouted, "Happy Birthday!!" when she returned home. She was really surprised, so the birthday plan was a success, and we were very glad to see her smiling face, and we sang a song and danced in front of her. She was delighted, as were we all. We took a picture with her. We have made good memories together. I think that I am enjoying my study abroad because I have made important friends and have had a lot of good experiences. Finally, I feel happy that I can study in this good environment in Spokane, so I should study more and speak English every day!

Mead High School Is Great!

I got up early at 6:00 am because we were going to Mead high school. The high school was very beautiful. We took a class with high school students. I was surprised when the group discussion was very vigorous. They had different opinions and ideas and I was surprised to find that they were full of confidence. They were positive and friendly. It was fun! American classes are different from Japan. They had announcements anytime, including during class today. They listened carefully, and their teacher asked them questions about the announcements.

Japanese students should be more positive and give your opinions. We shouldn't be afraid of making mistakes! This was the first time I had had an experience like this. I think that today was a very important today. I'll try to speak English and I want to give my opinion about things.

At Mead high school, there were 6 people in my group. I became friendly with one of the girls who is 16 years old. A very young girl! She is very kind. We talked about Japan. I was glad. I also received a cookie from her. It was a surprise. It was very delicious, so I would like to make a cookie for her. I want to see her again. I took a picture with her when I was leaving to go back to school. I think that I was able to experience the different culture in the U.S at Mead high school today.

The student made my day!!

Shopping!!! (uvuo)/'

I went shopping with my friend Misae on Suturday. I bought cosmetics, body cream, and souvenirs! After I bought souvenirs, we had lunch. We ate a big pizza!! We ate a pizza last weekend, too. The price of the pizza was 3 dollars. It was very cheap. It has became our favorite food. I try to eat various kinds of pizza, but I worry about how fattening pizza is. If I eat high calorie foods, I have to exercise! I have to forget about eating high calorie food. Later we took a picture in front of the restaurant because it was very fashionable. I like the restaurant atmosphere very much. It was very exciting. I'm going downtown again next weekend!! I can't wait until Saturday.
On Saturday I want to buy a teddy bear because my friend bought a teddy bear for 70 cents! Wow! It was very cheap!! Before when I went to the shop, I found a teddy bear for 3 dollars which is expensive. but afterwards they lowered the price to 70 cents. It was cheap! I'll give it to my friend. My friend likes a doll which has many kinds of dolls. Her room is full of dolls, so I want to give a teddy bear to her soon. I want to see her happy face when I give her the teddy bear.

There are three people in my family. My mother and my brother and me. My mother is an interesting person, and she teaches flower arrangement. She received a flower arrangement license in France,so she often tells me about flowers. There are many flower arrangements on the table in my house. I like to talk with my mother.
