I read "The Baobab Tree". There were three African gods. Long time ago, they made the world and a talking tree. It called Baobab tree. The talking tree talked lot! For example, he said "I don't like this soil." and "It's to hot." something others.
One day, three gods made tall trees. He complained about it. And the gods made trees that have flower. He complained again.
At last, three gods got cross. And they grabbed the talking tree, and turned it upside down. So the talking tree couldn't talk ever.
I think that the three gods are so terrified! If the talking tree exist, it is funny.
It was bad things that the tree often complained, but it was so terrible thing that the three gods did.

I read "Stone Soup". There are an old man. He is so poor man. He went to go to a cottage to rest there. But an old woman who living in the cottage didn't admit he is coming into her house. She didn't admit it at all.
Then, he beat his brains out. He said "I can make good soup from a stone". She believed his lie, and she brought a big pot that is in water. First he added a stone in it. He tasted it and suggested her to add an onion. She chopped an onion and popped in it. He tasted it and he suggested her to add a potato. She chopped a potato and popped in it. He tasted it and he suggested her to add some meat. She chopped it and popped in it. The soup was complete.They began to eat it. She said "Yummy!". She didn't notice that the stone isn't meaningless.
I think that she is so dupe! But it is so cute. I wish she could notice the stone isn't meaningless soon.

Essay 2-02b: My Language Learning Experience
When I was 5 or 6 years old, I started to learn languages without Japanese. I always use Japanese, but I don't always use foreign languages. So, foreign languages are so difficult for me. Now, I'm going to tell you about my language learning experience. Please read it.
I told about when I started to learn foreign languages a little while ago, but I meet it when I was a kindergartner. My mother likes Western music so much. And I was listened it with her. This is my first meeting with English. Then, I thought English is cooler than Japanese. So I interested in English. First I asked my mother what is the English words in English lyrics.
When I entered elementary school, I took lesson in English. And I went to Washington foreign language school. It is Englishconversation school. I learned English through a lot of games something other. For example, I played Japanese backgammon and card. In waiting time, I watched the video. Of course the video is in English and Japanese caption. In there, not only learning English but also learning American cultures. In October, the students learn about Halloween and go to other room and practice it. It can learn both English and other country's culture. I liked it so much.
In Elementary school, my elementary school has English class. It is speaking class. We learned a series of conversation and practiced it. We sometimes learned English songs. This class is so interested for me, so I like the class so much. In the class, the students had to play the English drama once a year. We got the script and remembered it. The content is "Sanbikinokobuta" or "Sarukanigassen"or "Akazukinchan". We could chose favorite one. I chose "Sarukanigassen". I learned many English phrases of it.
In junior high school, I had English class. It learned English grammar and spoke with pair. The teacher is my homeroom teacher when I was in the first year of junior high school. She is so interesting and teaching is good. So I like her class. Without school, I went to cram school and tutor came and she teaches me English. The tutor's teaching is so good.
I had three English classes in high school. It is speaking class, two grammar classes.
One grammar class solved exercise book, other grammar class learned the content of textbook. Grammar class had a class quiz every week. It was difficult surprisingly. It trained me.
In University, I had many English classes. And I had Germany class last year. It is different from Japanese and English. Germany has feminine noun, neuter noun and masculine noun. It is so difficult to understand it. German is more difficult than Japanese. But the class is so interested for me.
Thus, I have learned foreign languages still now. I have a lot of leaning. But I don't speak English frequently, so I must speak English more because I want to speak English fluently and I like English the best. So I must study harder. Next I want to learn Korean. Thank you for your reading!

My Favorite Drink
I'm going to tell you about my favorite drink. I like a lot of drink. It is coffee, tea, coke, soda pop, fruit juice, calpis and green tea.
About coffee, I like white coffee. I like Starbucks coffee so much. It is so nice! I sometimes go Starbucks coffee and buy something to drink.
About coke and soda pop, I like those, but it is not good to go easy with the coke and soda pop. Because it is in a lot of sugar. So I drink those at times.
About fruit juice, I like mixed juice. It is sweet! It makes me happy! Calpis too.
At last, green tea. I drink it every day and it is not sweet, so I think that most healthy drink is green tea. So I must drink green tea when I am thirsty.
