japanese bento this picture? I think it’s a kind of art. A character like a pokemon is made with vegetables or some ingredients. It looks very cute and interesting, so children who don’t want to eat vegetable can eat vegetables. A box is cute too. Sometimes, “Hello kitty” and “pokemon” is printed on a bento box. There are net shops that sell many cute bento goods. Second is that nutritional variety is good. If we buy a lunch outside, we prefer what we like. I prefer meat, so I choose an oily food for lunch. However, it’s bad for health. A sandwich or bread is good, but we can’t get enough vegetables, meat or eggs. On the other hand, when Japanese people make bento, we think about nutritional. Usually, rice and vegetables, meat, eggs, frits should be in bento.　A Japanese bento is good for health compared to some lunch that we buy outside or a sandwich. Third is Effect of animations or comics. A subculture like animations and comics is also popular among not only Japanese people but also non-Japanese people. Through it, non-Japanese people know about Japan. A bento is one of the information what they know. In comics, some characters eat their bento at lunch time and Non-Japanese people are interested in it. In japan, usually a woman makes a bento for a family in the morning. It’s not special thing. Except kyarabens, a bento is not special. However, many people are suppressed. Japanese women who make a bento are happy because of unexpected reaction. The reactions encourage them. Through it, they changed their thinking that a bento is not special. Source (Internet site) All about. Topic: Japanese bento http://allabout.co.jp/gm/gc/221518/ Yahoo!Blog.

FInish reading! "“QUILL the life of guide dog”" I finished reading the book. I was impressed by this book. Before I read the book, in my image, almost all dogs are cute. But my image changed! A guide dog is not only cute but also great and smart! In my previous notebook, I explained that Quill lived with his puppy walker. After that, Quill had to go a training center and started training to be a guide dog. Quill gained how to tell blind person that there are corners, stairs or hurdles. It’s hard for dogs to gain this skill. Guide dogs are very smart! Quill became a guide dog. He enjoyed working and lived with his user. Quill and his user was a good partner. Quill made him happy and cheerful! However, his user suffered from serious deseas. Quill wanted to be his guid dog again, but he passed away. Quill had a new duty. At a welfare event, Quill worked as demonstration dog. He could help to teach people about a guide dog at elementary school or social welfare events. Then, Quill could see the puppy walker .He enjoyed that. However, he suffered from “Leukemia”. It’s Hakketsubyou in Japanese. Eventually, he passed away. He was twelve years old. After he died, his work as a guide dog spread through many books or articles like the book I read. That helps us to know what a guide dog is. Thanks to Quill, I knew about a guide dog and interested in welfare. I also knew that dogs are good friends or partner for people.

finish reading new book I finished reading the book, Helen Keller. It was biography. When she were baby, she had hevy ill and she couldn't see and listen. However, Anne Sullivan, her teacer, helped her. Anne  was always with her and wrought spell on her hand. Helen undatstood evrything through feeling that. Helen wanted to study at university, so she learnd how to speak and write alphabet with Anne. And then, she could do it!! I'm very very suprised. It's amaizing!! She couldn't hear herself voice. She had never seen words or lomg sentences. Why she understanded words and educated speaking skills? I can't believe it. Maybe, Helen and Anne studied for those skills very hard. It was beyond imagine. I think the ability that human have is beyond ordinaly imagine. Of corce, Helen was great people. Howevr, not only her but also Anne is great person.

nwe book I'll read "Helen Keller". Author is Margaret Rivas-Micoud.68 pages. Helen keller is very famous person. When I was in elementary schhol student, I knew her. However, I don't know detail.

Gongitsune(ごんぎつね) I had already read this book in train yesterday. This book was sad story. Main character were a fox(he was called Gon) and man(He was called Hyoujyu). One day, Gon(ごん), the fox, wanted to play tricks on Hyoujyu（ひょうじゅう）. Hyoujyu was doing fish. That he was fishing was not common. He had catched 2 fishes and a eel. Gon took the fish and eel therew them into the river. A few days later, Hyoujyu's mother was died. Gon noticed that Hyoujyu's mother wanted to eat a eel when she was sick in bed. That's why he was fishing. Gon thought "But, what did I do? I played trick and threw it into river. So, his mother could't eat it. I'm sorry that I did." Hyoujyu became to be alone. Gon thought what could I do? He went Hyoujyu'house and left many nuts and a lot of mushrooms again and again. Hyoujyu didn't notice that Gon did. One day, when Gon went to his house, he saw Gon. He thought Gon played trick on him again, so he tried to stop it and kill Gon. He shot Gon. Gon fell to the ground. When he looked inside the house, he saw some nuts and mushrooms. He was confidence that Gon brought them. He looked down at Gon and said "Did you bring all nuts and mushrooms?" Gon moved his head a little. He wanted to say "Yes". It was so sad story. I cryed. My best immpressed scene was Gon notice that's why Hyoujyu was fishing. I think Many Japanese fairly tail are sad.
