My Favorite Thing

Today, I write about my favorite thing! It is my lip gloss. My friend who has the same part-time job gave it to me as a souvenir. I like it because the design is very cute, and the perfume is good! It contains small flowers. These flowers move in natural oil. It looks pretty!! Besides this, it smells like a watermelon.

Though I have used it since last year, I would like to use it little by little. Moreover, when I use this lip gloss, my feeling comes good! Therefore, I will utilize it when I feel down because of exams.

RECITATION CONTEST♪

On June 21, RECITATION CONTEST was held. This contest is an activity of ESS. Every year, freshmen of ESS memorize the speech, and perform. This activity is the gateway to enter ESS! Freshmen make efforts to memorize the speech, and improve the performance.

There were 3 speeches, "I Have a Dream." addressed by Martin Luther King Jr., "Smile at Each Other" addressed by Mother Teresa, and "Responding to Landmines" addressed by Princess Diana this year. Each freshman chose a speech from 3 speeches. Everyone contrived original expressions and gestures, so every performance was different.

Moreover, members of sophomore and junior performed the dance at the end of this contest as entertainment, and after this contest, welcome party was held!

I think this contest was very good because freshmen made efforts, and other members cooperated to complete this contest.

I Am Sam

The movie I want to watch is I Am Sam. Here are some reviews:


Brandt Sponseller from New York City：“...Finally, the film has a great message. Does parenting, or general personal worth, really hinge on intellectual ability and amassed knowledge? I don't think so....Plenty of us had parents who were smart enough but couldn't help us with our geometry homework. Love may not be all you need, but it's definitely one of the major prerequisites.”

sddavis63 (revsdd@gmail.com) from Ontario, Canada:“...The movie weakens in the last little bit, going for the sappy (and highly unrealistic) ending - unrealistic particularly in the way Lucy's foster mother (Laura Dern) ends up handling the situation....”

Ben_Cheshire from Oz:"...Its also a very touching film - the relation between Sam and Lucy (in a remarkable child-star performance from Dakota Fanning, who knew how to relate to Sam from having a relation like him in real life) is one of those special things in moviedom, for me at least...."


I want to watch this movie through I read these reviews! I think I want to be moved. However, one thing I worry is some authors of reviews say this movie is unrealistic. I want to try to watch this movie, check that, and consider what messages this movie has.
