Book Review

Hello, everyone.
This is Miho Sakai from EDC2.

I have read the book 'The Phantom of the Opera' in this spring vacation.
This book is penguin readers level 5.

The book's author is Gaston Leroux.
He was born in Paris and he experienced various jobs.

There is a story of secrecy and fear at the Paris Opera.
The Phantom is extraordinary thin and his coat hangs on his skeleton. His eyes are just two big, black hole. So he has the face of death.

In the middle of rehearsal, major role was died, so Christina stands in.
After the play, She is received with cheers and she meets Raoul again.
She falls in love with him and Phantom falls in love with Christina.
However Phantom got away her at the basement.
In this place, She knows about the phantom.
And phantom killed a lot of people because he loves Christina.

I thought that this story is mystery at first.
However in the fact, this story is unhappy love story.

This book became a movie and drama.
If you want to know more about this story, please watch movie.

Thank you for reading.

My Favorite French Artist

Hello this is Shunsuke again.

This time, I'll introduce my favorite French artist to you. The name of the artist is Grégory Lemarchal.



Regrettably, he has already died because of his congenital disease. It was 2007, and he was 23 years old. What he was young!!

Of course, I still like his music very much.
I bought one of his CDs at the store in the street of Champs-Elysees in Paris. The title is "La Voix d'un ange".→

And I introduce one of his songs, "Même Si". In this song, there are two singers, one is Grégory Lemarchal and the other is Lucie Silvas. Grégory sings in French, and Lucie sings in English. That's why I recommend you to listen to that. Of course, the original version is sung all in French. I think that this song is a good material to learn foreign music culture and the languages for me and the one who learns both English and French.

Book Report

Hello everybody.
This is Shunsuke Igarashi from EDC2.

I have finished reading the book level 4.
The title of the book is "The Hound of the Baskvilles".

It is one of Sherlock Holmes' stories and the author is, of course, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle that you probably know well.

In this story, there is a legend that the horrible hound lives in somewhere in the large moor which is near the house of Sir. Baskervilles. And it is said that the hound killed Sir Charles Baskerville who was the head of the Baskerville estate many years ago.
And Sir Henry Baskerville, he is the nephew of Sir Charles and the heir of the Baskerville estate, is targeted as next prey of the hound.

Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson try to expose a secret of the hound of the Baskvilles.

As a normal series, Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson try to search out the secret together, but in this story, they don't do that partway because of Holmes' other cases. However, Dr. Watson continued sending the letter about his investigations to Holmes. And they are very useful for Holmes.


If you get to be interested in this book, please read it.

Book Report

Hi. This is Shiori from EDC2.

How was your spring vacation?

Finally, I finished reading my book.

This book has three stories.

First story is about a ghost living in haunted house and a family came from America to live abroad in U.K.
The family are enjoying to live in haunted house but the ghost is not. He love to surprise people in spooky way, but family does not surprise.
The family's children tries to trick the ghost.

The second story is about a man and fortune teller.
The man has told unfortunate thing from fortune teller and he tries the bad fortune to come true.
It is surreal and interesting story.

Third is a mystery story which has occurred in 19th century. The title of the story was interesting and this was the shortest one in the book.

Hope all of you enjoyed spring vacation.

See you tomorrow!!

Presentation of town management

Hi!

This is Asae from EDC2.

Last month I had a presentation at Town management center in Hamamatsu.

I had studied about town management, mainly activation od shopping arcade since last summer.

This presentation was corpus for me!!

The theme of this presentation was "How can we do to activate Sakana-machi arcade from the view of marketing".

We did some investigations for presentation.

From the hearing for owners of shops, we could found many good point of town arcade.

There is essential place to communicate with many people.

I thought the fact is pretty lonely that these days many people go to big box shops just because of they are convenient.

I want to take action to activate my town from now on.

Thank you!!

Thailand Restaurant

Hi!! Everyone!
This is Mao from EDC2.

Did you enjoy your vacation?

Last week, I went to Thailand .......

It is joke:)


I went to Thai Restaurant with my friends Marie and Masayo.
Marie took us this restaurant.
She speak Thai very well.
She has visited Thailand many time, and she stayed there for 2years.



This restaurant is in Nishimoncho- Shizuoka-city.
Do you know this town? This town is in near the Shizuoka station( about 15 min by bike)

This restaurant's name is 'A-loi A-loi' .this means' Yummy-Yummy'



Thai foods are very spicy food.
Look at this pictures, most left food is very spicy!!
So we could not eat all of it.

Thai rice is more shape than Japanese rice.
Thai has also Glutinous rice( mochi-gome) but way to eat is not same. First, Thai people wad up this rice by hands.
Next this rice put on the dish so when Thai people eat glutinous rice, they don't use chopsticks.

We had good time and I lean Thai culture. For example, how to eat Thai food, disposition of Thai, Buddhism culture, thinking of Thai people and so on.

Someday, I want to go to Thailand.

Thanks,

Kyoto!

Hello! Every one.
This is Kasumi Ichikawa from EDC2

I went to Kyoto with my friend.

I went to many places.
First, I went to Ginkaku temple.
I have been to there when I was junior high school student.
That time, to be a honest, I could not recognize good point of there
because I was still fifteen.
Now I very like Ginkaku temple.
Because of beautiful river and plant.
I want to there again.

In the night, from Heianjingu to Kiyomizu temple
There are light up!
I could see romantic landscape at there.

Next day, I went to Arashiyama.
I took picture front of river.
My favorite place is Daikaku temple.
This temple is not very famous, but I think this temple is most beatiful in Kyoto.
This temple was build about 1000years ago.
People can feel as back to the past.

I ride bicycle to Arashiyama station.
It is sunny day and warm so it is so comfortable.

I can spend good time there.
I recognize Japanese people can be pride of Japanese culture.
Thank you for reading!

Shizuoka Festival

Hello, everyone. This is yuka from EDC2.

Shizuoka Festival took place in Shizuoka last weekend.
I went to Shizuoka city and Sunpu Castle. Sunpu Castle park was main place of the festival, so I saw many people and various booths in the park. I ate strawberry candy like apple candy. It was my first time! Candy was very very sweet and delicious. I want to eat again.(><)I and my mother saw Mr. Kakei Toshio who was top star of the festival. He is a famous actor and he is from Hamamatsu. My mother went to same high school in Hamamatsu. She was so excited and screamed his name. I was embarrassed...

I bought Koban 500yen. People could use it in the booths as money. I enjoyed the festival!
Thank you for reading.

Hello, everyone.

I'm Miho from EDC2.

How about your spring vavation?

On April 1st, I went to Kawane with my friends.

This is Sasamato station at Oigawa railway.

On the way, we could beautiful cherry blossom.

Kawane is filled with rich nature.

Thanks to nature, we could relax.

This is the cottage where we stayed.

There is the cottage near Sasamato station.

There were a lot of people on this place.

We spent one day in this place.

If the day were sunny day, we could play badminton.

There are kitchen, open-air bath in the cottage.

I thought that we can live this cottage.

This cottage is wooden house.

We ate a hot pot cooked at the table.

It's delicious. We enjoyed eating.

However, this dish is not included Udon or rice.

We wanted to eat Udon or rice when we had finished eat.

So we decided to bring Udon or rice oneself when we come to there again.

This trip is pleasant memories for me.

This spring vacation, I went to various places.

Also I could enjoy every place or event.

I'm looking forward to seeing everyone.

Thank you.
