Essay2-02b My Language Learning Experience
First, I learned Japanese when I was kindergartner. It was very easy Japanese. On that occasion, I could speak everyday conversation. I learned hiragana. It is base of Japanese and best important. The repertoire of the word has increased gradually while I am speaking with the friend. Then I could learn good language and bad language too. Also, I could understand bad words as often as I fought with my friends. And, I often heard English everyday conversation. When I was elementary school student, I learned a little difficult Japanese and Chinese character. My knowledge was very increased. I understood the thing that I can say the word to a person and I should not say the word. I thought that the language was very difficult. I remembered the Chinese character hard.
Second, I leaned English. In beginning the accurate learning, I was a junior high school student. I thought that I was very difficult first. But, I became to like English because it was very fun and I felt the charm in English. Also, I had my like English teacher. I came to like English thanks to the teacher and I yearned to the teacher. So, I thought that I worked hard English to study. When I was high school student, my homeroom teacher was English teacher with very strong zeal. My English knowledge swelled very much. I thought that I wanted to work for the first time at that time related to English. I decided to enter the university and English department of its university.
Third, I leaned French in the university at the first. It was very difficult for me. I regretted having majored in French. I was desperate though I understood the class. French was a word alone that had not been heard at all unlike English. The study of the language from one has been understood was very difficult. Because the pronunciation of French was different from reading, I could do nothing but memorize it. If I study another language, I want to study Korean next because I like Korea. When I was high school student, I had watched South Korea drama. It was very fun. Maybe, the reason why I became to like Korea is the influence. But, I thought that it was good to be able to study French as an experience of the life. Now, I don't almost remember French because I usually don't use the language. I think that it is too good. I wish I have the chance to use French. If so, I will never forget French.
I study three languages and like Japanese still. My best language is Japanese because I am Japanese. I associate with Japanese through life. However, I want to study English more in the future. I am praying that time when English can be spoken like the mother tongue fluently come. I want to learn various languages in the future if there is a chance. And, I want to make Japanese known.

The Lost key
I read this book at last. I tell you about this story.
Kipper wanted a magic adventure but this magic key would not glow. It had not glowed for a long time. He thought that it will maybe glow if he keeps it with him, so he put it in his pocket. Mum had to go shopping. She wanted Kipper to go with her. She wants to get him some new trainers. Kipper forgot he had the key in his pocket. On the way to the shops, Ma\um let Kipper stop and play. He ran to the rocket and the key fell out of his pocket and on to the grass. Kipper looked in his pockets but the key was not there. Kipper wanted to go and look for the key, but Mum would not let him. It had started to rain and Mum wanted to get home. She asks Biff and Chip to look for it. A man came to cut the grass. He cut it with a mower. The mower ran over the magic key with a clang. The man looked the key. The key had broken the mower. Now, he shall have to mend the mower. He was so cross that he threw the magic key in a bin. The boy came to play on the swings. One of the boys looked in the bin and found the key. The boys took the key with them. One of them had some string. He tied the key to the string and spun it round and round. Suddenly, the string broke and the key flew through the air. It hit a greenhouse with a crash and broke the glass. The man angled. The boys ran away as fast as they could. Kipper had to Biff and Chip that he had list the magic key. Wilf and Wilma helped them look for the lost key. Biff asked the man if he had seen it. The man threw it in that bin, but two boys took it out. The children saw the two boys. They asked them if they had found the key. They list it again. They saw the man with the greenhouse. The man sold the key to the junk shop to help pay for the glass. The children went to the junk shop. They told the lady about the key and asked her if she fad it. She has just sold it. The lady told them who had it. She told them that the man had a shop down the street. The children went to the man’s a shop. In the window there were pictures and paintings. Wilma looked inside the shop. It was closed and she couldn’t see the man. They may have to buy the key back so come back to home. Mum went to the shop with the children. She told the man about the key and how Kipper had lost it. She asked it they could have the key back. The man had painted some pictures and had put lots of keys had been painted. The children looked at the pictures but they couldn’t see the magic key. They looked at all the pictures. Suddenly Kipper saw a little picture. It had one key in it. The man told them that they would have to buy the picture. Biff and Chip gave Mum their pocket money, and Mum paid the man. She paid a lot for an old key. The children pulled the key from the picture and rubbed off the paint. Then they looked it. The children wanted the key to glow. Wilma picked it up. But, the key didn’t glow and the magic wouldn’t work. Kipper told the key about the adventures he would like to have. But still the magic wouldn’t work. The next day, Wilf and Wilma came to the house with Nadim and Anneena. The children were sorry about the key. It still wouldn’t glow and they were all very sad. Anneena thought of a good idea. It was what they remind it of the magic adventures. But the key still didn’t glow. At last the children gave up. Mum told Biff and Chip it was time for their friends to go home. Kipper was sorry about the key. He began to cry. Biff and Chip let Kipper take the key to bed. Kipper looked at it for a long time. At last he fell asleep. Suddenly, the magic key began to glow.
This story is strange. I incline ending of the story. I want to have the magic key too. The key is wonderful. If its key glows, how it will be. Kipper is very cute. I want to have a brother like him.
I finished book reviews home work. Every book was interesting. It is easy to read the book by English for me than before.

Viking Adventure
Wilf and Wilma came to the door. It was time to go to school. Kipper told everyone about his adventure at the Teddy Bear’s picnic. But nobody believed him. Biff, Chip and Wilf were in Mr Johnson’s class. The children liked Mr Johnson. He made everything interesting and he told lots good stories. Mr Johnson had a model ship. He asked whether you can tell me what sort od ship this is. Wilf put up his hand. He said that it is a Viking ship. Mr Johnson said that well done. Mr Johnson showed the children a picture of a Viking ship. He said that this ship was called a long ship. It had oars and a sail and it moved very fast though the water. Mr Johnson said that the Viking lived a long time ago. They crossed the sea in ships like this. My Johnson showed the children a Viking helmet and a Viking shield. Mr Johnson helped the children with a Viking project. It was very interesting. They made model long ships and they made Viking shields and helmets. Mr Johnson took the children into the school hall. They made a big long ship. Then they all dressed up as Viking and pretended to row it. Biff said that it is hard work being a Viking. The children came home from school. They looked at the magic key. They wanted it to glow because it had not glowed for a long time. Kipper told them about his magic adventure but still nobody believed him. Kipper was upset. He thought that the magic key glowed in the night. It glowed when it was dark. It did, it did, and it did! Biff looked the key. Biff had good idea. Maybe the key will glow in the dark. She got a touch and then she found a big thick blanket. The children sat on the floor and they pulled the blanket over themselves. It was dark under the blanket. Suddenly, the key began to glow. The magic was working after all. There was no wide. The Viking rowed the long ship across the sea. Every man pulled on the oars. It was hard work being a Viking. Suddenly, the wide began to blow. “Hooray!” said the Viking. “Now we can put up the sail. The wind can blow the ship along and we won’t have to work so hard.” One of the Vikings heard a noise. He went to look. He found the children. The children are surprised because they are on the Viking long ship. They don’t believe it. The Viking jumped back. He couldn’t believe it, either! He looked very fierce. Kipper thought that the Viking doesn’t look pleased to see us. The Viking pushed the children to the back of the long ship. The wind began to blow harder. The Viking put up the sail. The wind blew harder and the ship tossed up and down. The waves splashed over the children. They got cold and wet. Kipper began to feel sick. He thought that it is not much fun on s long ship. At last the long ship landed. They jumped into the water and carried boxes and barrels to the shore. The children looked over the side of the long ship. Kipper hopes we don’t have to jump in. It looks cold and wet. The children waded to the shore. The villagers were amazed. They had never seen children like these before. Kipper had some sweets. He shared them with the Viking children. They had never seen sweets before. They didn’t know what to do with them. The Viking took the children into a long fall. A fire was burning in the middle of the floor. There was smoke everywhere. It began to get dark and soon it was time to have some food. As soon as it was dark a long ship sailed close to the shore. On the long ship were some Viking raiders. They were going to attack the village. One of the villagers saw the long ship and ran into the long hall. The raiders looked very fierce. They ran towards the village. They are going to attack. Biff had an idea. She shone her torch. The raiders and the villagers had never seen a light like this before. They were frightened and they all fell to the ground. The raiders ran back to their long ship and sailed away. They won’t come back here in a hurry. The Viking looked at Biff’s torch. It frightened them, but it frightened the raiders even more and it saved them village. The villagers lit a big fire on the beach. They had a party for the children. They gave Biff a shield. Biff wanted to give the torch to the Vikings but Wilf told her not to. The magic key began to glow. It was time for the adventure to end. Biff showed the Viking shield to Mr Johnson. Mr Johnson said “It is very good, but Viking shields didn’t look like this.” Biff looked at Wilf and smiled.
This story is unique. It is very interesting story. If I see the Viking, I will be surprised very much. The key is great. I want to have it. They would experience good and fun. I want to it. It looks like very fun. This story is little long, but it is easy to read. I was addicted to this story. I read again and again. I want you to read this book.
