BR 2-18: The Runaway Pancake


Today, I read a book whose tittle is the Runaway Pancake. There was a family with seven children. Mother made pancakes for breakfast. She tossed them, up in the air and down again. But she missed and the pancake jumped and go out of door. It didn't stop and they try to catch but they couldn't... Finally, a pig ate the pancake.

I have a favorite scene. "I'm delicious but you'll never catch me." (Sims, 2006, p.25) The pancake told that when it was running. When I read the sentence, I couldn't help laughing. I think it's very funny.

As you can see, I liked the story. It's very famous in the world. So please read it and you'll like it. If you read the book, you will be happy. I recommend the book, please read it.

Now, I will tell you about my university life.

First, I will talk about studying English. I like English so I’m happy to study English. There are a lot of good teachers. They are sometimes a little strict about English so they give us a lot of assignments, for example, group learning, keeping my blog, recording, presentation and English central which is a teaching material… It is very hard for me to do. But I think if I have to do that, I will improve my English skills. In fact, I practiced English more and learn to real English from English central. And my favorite class is writing class. I have to keep my blog. I can practice how to write essays in English. It's very hard but it's very good thing for me.

Second, I will talk about good environments. The facility of KGU is so great. When I first visited the KGU , I was very surprised at that. I think the KGU’s facility is the best of Kumamoto’s university’s. I especially like the library, the KGU’s library is very big and there are not only books to study but also interesting magazines. And there are a lot of newspapers in various languages. So we can know what happened in the world easily. And we can listen to music and watch movies there. When I have free time, I will go there. And we also can use computers so I often do assignments in the library. Because library is quiet so I can concentrate well.

Third, I will talk about my good friends. My favorite thing is talking with people. Talking with them is the best thing in my university life. I made a lot of friends at the KGU. They are so great and funny. I often go shopping and eat meals with them. We talk a lot every day, for example, English, favorite things and love. I think we trust each other. So I’m sure to meet them is my treasure.

Finally, I will talk about my club. I belong to a volunteer club. I wasn’t interested in volunteer before. So I want to change my mind so I enter that club. My club’s name is the Asunarou. Although it has a lot of members, we are so close. We are involved in volunteer work every Saturday. We meet a lot of people and help them or do something for them, for example, eating meals with them and go shopping with them… So I do volunteer any place. Now, I think it’s a good thing to do volunteer and I enjoy volunteer. Volunteer is very fruitful thing for me. And to do volunteer gives me happy.


As you can see, I think my university life is very nice. I can study English at the good environments and meet good people. They are good things for me and I’m happy now.
