Home party

March 26, 2012

I held home party with coworkers in my home after part-time job. The members were Taiki, Tatsuro, Yuma, Rio, Natsumi and Eri. First, Taiki, Rio, Natsumi and I went to buy some drinks and meals to the Ace which is near my home. We wanted to eat Kimuchi-nabe! So we bought ingredients to need to cook it. After that, we went to my home and Eri was coming my home then. I prepared Kimuch-nabe. Then Tatsuro was coming. He helped me. We enjoyed talking over eating it. A few minutes later, Rio was going out with her boy friend to see a night view. We planed to see a night view too. Yuma was coming near my home, we went to Aso to see a night view. Yuma is well informed about astronomy. The day could see many stars. Yuma told us about stars. It was so beautiful!! But there was too cold to see a night view. But I enjoyed seeing it!! After that, we went back my home and talked about many topics. For example, our part-time job, our hobbies. I had a good time. I want to hold home party again. (197/8691 words)

I read Singer wanted. It was published by Foundations reading library and it was written by Rob Waring and Maurice Jamall. It is a story about the rock band “Hot Rock”. Hot Rock is Faye’s band. The members are Faye, John, Tyler and David. One day, Hoy Rock wants a new singer. They recruit one. Jenny and Daniela watch announcement about it on the board, and Daniela wants to be a new Hot Rock’s singer! Then, their friend, Gemma comes to them, and she says “I want to sing for Hot Rock.”

It’s Saturday, Hot Rock is looking for their new singer. Daniela is going to sing with band member, but she is nervous, so she can’t sing well. Next, Gemma sings for the band, too. She sings very well! Everyone likes her singing. Daniela knows Gemma is very good. The band talks about Daniela and Gemma. David, John and Tyler want Gemma, but Faye wants Daniela, because she likes her singing. They talk for a long time. Faye says, “We want Gemma to be the new singer!” Gemma says, “Thank you, everyone.” Daniela is very sad, but she says to Gemma, “Congratulations.”

The next day, Gemma meets the band again. The band is happy with their new singer. They are very excited! Gemma gives clothes to the band. They don’t want it. Gemma says the band’s name is going to change, and she wants sing POP songs. But they don’t want to change it and don’t play POP music. Gemma is very selfish!

After all, the band wants Daniela to be in their band, they want her to sing with them. Daniela is happy, and she says “Thank you.”
