Book review 2-2







This time I read this book"OXFORD "and I learned many things.
In this book some interesting things about Oxford was introduced.
First, Oxford is located in Britain and there are many famous, old buildings and museums there. Many visitors from different parts of Britains go to Oxford and do sightseeing.
In Oxford, There are some museum named Museum of Oxford. In this museum, people seem to learn sounds and smells from different times in the past and there seem to be taken photos in there.And many visitors often visit there.
I learned in the city named Oxford, the new and old are side by side. Blackwell's is the largest bookseller. It's a famous book shop and it's said that if you are looking for books, go to Blackwell's.
And Beer is also famous in Oxford so there are many pubs in there and there are pubs with live music and pubs with popular games I heard like this.
I think not only in Oxford but also in overseas beer and some other kind of drinks are popular.
Above all, I learned many aspects of Oxford such as drinks, farms and transportation something like those.

Dream comes true

Hello everyone!
First of all, I have some things which I’d like to ask you.
Do you have dreams? If you have them, are you doing anything to realize them?
I’d like to talk about something that I realized this year.
Of course, I have a lot of dreams I’d like to achieve and here is one example.

Studying abroad has been one of my dreams since I was a little child. And after enrolling at Kumamoto Gakuen University, my desire for it became stronger and stronger. I think the strongest incentive was the presence of my friends around me. They always supported me and motivated me. Friends are very influential I think.
I have had good friends since last year and we continue to be good friends even now. People often say‘’ You guys look being together all the time.” “You seem to have built up good relations with them” and other things like that.

I think so too. Come to think of it, I feel we were together all the time but I have one thing I can say. We had common goals that: studying abroad .
If I hadn’t come across them, I couldn’t have realized this dream. They are really nice guys and they are precious to me. And I can trust them and I can talk to them about whatever I think. In this way, I think the circumstance is very important not only for myself but also for everyone.
However, there are some people who decide themselves it’s impossible to attain their dreams. I’d like to say to these people that “ Don’t quit before you try.

Finally I’d like to give you one more piece of advice.
“Nothing can stop you from what you’re trying to but you.
I learned this phrase from my former English teacher and I think that’s right.
So I’d like you to start something and don’t give up.
I think there is no dreams which we can’t make come true.
I would like you to think to yourself again whether you make up your mind before you start something.
I think dream comes true unless you give up! If you have a dream, never give up and keep on challenging yourself.
Thank you for listening.
