Coming of Age Day!!

I attended a ceremony celebrate Coming of Age Day. It was held in my local at January 10th. I woke up at 4:30 a.m. and went to beauty salon. I was set hair, made up and done dressing. I was tense because I have not met my local friends for a long time. Then I went to my local gymnasium with my friend. There were many my local friends. After the ceremony finished, I took many pictures with my friends. At 19:00 we started alumni association at hotel. I had very very very good time with my local friends. There were many people who I had not met for a long time so I was happy when I talked with them!! Everyone did not change!! They are good friends for me. Then we went out hotel and went to downtown to hold post-party party. In there we did karaoke and everyone warm up!! We finished karaoke at 4:00 a.m. and went home. I was very sleepy but I was very happy because I could meet with my local friends and share good time. I want to meet them again and talk more!! I will never forget today!!

Book Review**

I read “CORDUROY’S Hike” today.
There were two main characters.
First was Lisa. She was corduroy’s owner.
Second was Corduroy. He was a doll of bear.
Lisa checked her backpack because she went hike from now and said that you must stay in home, Corduroy. But he got into Lisa’s backpack secretly. When Lisa got on a bus and opened her backpack, there was Corduroy!! She was surprised. She hiked remain corduroy was in her backpack. But when she was hiking, he fell down from backpack. He rolled over and over. Corduroy thought Lisa will back to pick him up. But she did not back. Then two hikers came and they set him on a branch. Next, a Cub Scout troop came. As they found him, they tossed him again and again. Finally he landed a trail. Corduroy tried to stand up but he fell into the stream. He was flushed. On the other hand, Lisa was sad because she could not find her bear!! She got on the bus unwillingly. But her friend Susan gave her a doll of bear. It was Corduroy!! She was very happy!!

I read "Beef Stew" this time.
This book was short story but this was interesting!! Please read this book one time.
When Nicky got up, his mother cooked Beef Stew. It was very good smell. His mother made many stew so she suggested to him ask Nicky’s friends for supper. Nicky invited some friends but they refused because of their own reason. So he was very disappointed. On his way to home, a postman gave him a card. When he read it, he was happy and ran hastily to the station. There was his grandmother. They went home together and Nicky invited his grandmother to dinner!!
