'Stop it!' cried Marissa. 'You're frightening me!' 'Good' Ryan shouted. 'Because you're frightening me.' 'If there's drinking, crying, and policemen ... then I guess it's Christmas,' he said, calmer now. 'I left all these problemin Chino. I'm not doing it again.'
(Josh,2007, p.54)
This is the conversation by Marissa and Ryan. Marisa and Ryan are friends, but they are not good relation this time. Marissa is in hard time, and she drinks outside the Christmas party.Vodka though she is not adult yet. As soon as he finds her, she trys to escape by her car from him. He stops her, and they go to driving by him. They were asked by policemen, but were don't arrested. Then, he throw away the Vodka bottole and they says this each other.
I had watched this TV drama only the first episode of the season 1. I had been interested in their love going. I had not anticipated that Marrisa becomes such crazy. Ryan was a bad boy at the first episode, but I find that he became better than before. He can advice Marrisa to be good for their situation. In this episode, I can the scene which he keeps his anger not to fight. At the first episode, he fights with other bad kids as soon as he gets angry. He took up by his lawyer Sandy. Sandy brings up him as his son in spite of his wife's opposite. I understood Sandy's feeling from this change of Ryan.

Mandela's meetings with de Klerk were very difficult, but at the end of 1993, Mandela and de Klerk won the Nobel Peace Prize. The two men were not friends, but that didn't stop them. They worked for a new South Africa.
(Coleen, 2001, p.21)
This is the story about the time when Nelson Mandela got the Nobel Peace Prize. He is a very famous prisident of former South Africa. He fighted for the black people. He had been fighting when he was younng, he arrested about treason. He studied a lot though he had been the prison for twenty-seven years. He never gave up however hard situations he was in. After his punishment, he became Prisident of the ANC, got the Novel Peace Prize, and became Prisident of South Africa.
I had known his name. I studied him at high school rather than TV program, because I was a child when he played these activities. I have never heard another people who fight for the black people besides him. I think he is the representative person in the long world history who fight about apartheid. I don't feel racism in these days. I think it is because I am Japanese and I have been to foreign country not so much. Indeed, I have never seen racism in front of me, so I don't know about it not so much. However, I guess the racism had decreased than at the time before his actives. Japanese are happy because we don't feel rasism. However, I think we need not to forget this problem of rasism.

She doesn't always want to live in the world of show business. She often likes being quiet, at home with her family. She likes playing games and making clothes. She likes visiting friends. Perhaps there are two Kylie Minogues. One is a world famous singer, and one is a quiet family girl.
(Liz, 2008, p.19)
This is the last texts about Kylie Minogue. She is a big actress and a singer in the world. She is from Austrralia. This story starts about the time when she had a cancer. This is the biggest happening of her life. She had cancer while her would tour. The tour postponed until she gets better. However, her funs had been waiting her. When the tour started again, very many people came. She was loved by a lot of fun. She works and works, but she cherishes not only her works, but also her family and friend.
When I found this book, I had not known her. I read this book because I was interested in her. I found she is a big singer who sings "I Should Be So Lucky" and "Rocomotion." they are my favorite songs! I get to more and more interest about her, and read this story all. She taught important things to me. When I am busy at my studies or works, I don't touch and spend time with my family and my friends so much. She is more busy than me, but she makes time to meet her family and friends. I thought I should cherish the times when I meet my family and friends.

'Marcel's a detective,' he thinks. 'It's going to OK. He knows his job. He does this every day. Yes . . . it's - going - to - be - O - K.'
(Stephen, 2000, p.12)
This is the words by Henry. This is a little adventure story by two mice. Marcel is a detective, and lives in Paris. Henry is his friend, and lives in London. Marcel visits Henry, and they find a woman who storen the Shakespeare letters from Henry's neighbor. They look for her, and find. This is the scene Henry walks behind Marcel, and closes to her bag. Henry tells himself that it' OK and believes Marcel because Marcel takes bold actions continuously.
I like Shakespeare. I chose this book, because I interested the content of the letter. However, this story doesn't tell the content of the letter. This story is different from my anticipate. This is adventure story by a detective. They are very smart mice. I thought they also storen the Shakspeare letters from their interests, but they return them to Henry's neighbor's house. They are good mice. I like this pictures better than the story. I like Peter Rabbit, and this pictures are like their pictures. Peter Rabbit is also a story in the U.K.

But she is very old now and she thinks Betty is Rosa. 'You have always been in my heart,' Yolanda tells Betty. 'Go with Ignacio. Fight for the man you love.'
(Jane, 2009, p.38-39)
This words is by Betty's grand mother. Betty sees her grandmother for the first time at this scene. Betty wanted to meet and was looking for her grandmother because Betty didn't know her mother's family in Mexico. Betty accidentally arrives at her grandmother's house. Her grandmother can't hear because she is old, and she thinks Betty is her daughter by just looking. Then, Betty's father comes there, too, and the grandmother says this words to her daughter's husband and daughter. This is the scene that some kinds of Miracle happens at the same time.
I like this foreign TV drama,'Ugly Betty'. This is the most impressive scene in this first season for me. A lot of character appears in this drama. The main scenes is in Betty's office, but I like the scenes of her family better than Betty's office, because members of her family, Ignacio, Hilda, and Justin have tender heart. Her mother already past away. She wants to know about her mother's family, and asks her father Ignacio, but he tells her that she don't need to know that because her mother's family does't like him. but Betty looks for her mother's family and Ignacio chases her. At last, they meet Betty's mother and she admits her daughter's marriage and eloping to the U.S. while blurring. Betty's grandmother has been thinking about her every day. I think Ignacio is sinful man. What a kind scene!

My favorite place I've been is Kumamoto zoo. I have been there many times when I was a child with my family. There is at Kengun in Kumamoto. My grandmother lives in Kengun, so she often took my sister, my cousin and me there. The fee is low cost, but there is wonderful place. There is also botanical garden, so there are a lot of kind of plants. I liked to see the plants, and my grandmother liked to see the alpine meadow. In the zoo place, we saw elephants, giraffes, monkeys and else. At amusement place, we rode rollercoaster, merry go round, ferris wheel. I visit there again and again, but I didn't get tired of there, because I could make new memories. This zoo is old, but I like this place. I like to see the growth of the animals and remember my memories. If I have my children, I want to go there again.

My favorite school memory is about my grandfather. When I was A first and second grade of elementary school, I went back to my grand parents' house which is near my parents' house after school, because my parents worked at those times. My grandmother is kind, but my grandfather was so strict. He taught me kanji, and importance of studying. He was also my teacher. I practiced syuji hardly, because I wanted to be like him. However, on a winter, he passed away. Our families felt so sad. He had been loved. After his dying, I received an award of syuji. My mother said me that she had wanted him to see this diploma, he would be glad. I thought so too. I will never forget him, and his teaching of studying. He is most respect parson for me.
