For instance, it was using playground equipment, riding a monocycle, playing tag, skipping rope, and so on. If it was rainy day, I played at cat's cradle with my friends. They were very fun. After that, I liked a swing, a seesaw in playground equipment. Then I practiced a monocycle any number of times.

Then there are a lot of people, and everyone have a pleasant. Also, a lot of people get closer to Mudge, and they make friend with Mudge.

Why are children eager to climb a tree? Maybe children want to look at view from high place, I thought at this time. However, I thought that tree has an important role after I read this book. It is a family gathering as a title or a picture of this book. Then I think that big tree becomes a mark for each family when something to happened.

My favorite place I've been

My favorite place I've been is Tokyo, because there are a lot of shops and a large city. Then I went there by school trip when I was a high school student. Also, I have been there only once. At that time, when we had a free time each group, our group went to Shibuya by an underground railway. Then we just alighted on clothes shop when we were walking, and we bought some clothes there. After that, we also went to Takeshita Street. There are a lot of shops and people. We walked a lot there. Also, I went to Tokyo for the first time, so I was looking forward to going there. Actually, I was able to enjoy in Tokyo. Next, Tokyo Disneyland is one of places I would like to go. If I have a chance to go to Tokyo next time, I would like to go to Disneyland, too.
