My Blog

I like using English Baby to learn English. But I also use other websites to learn English.

One of my favorite website is Guess the Google.  At Guess the Google you can enjoy quiz of pictures.  You watch pictures and guess what a keyword is.  It is really fun!!  You can check it out here: http://grant.robinson.name/projects/guess-the-google/

I really enjoy learning English on websites  I want to learn about other websites where I can learn more.

This year I have four New Year's resolutions. 

The first resolution is to be good at driving.  I have driving licence.  But I am not good at driving.  So I sometimes practice driving.  My family is worry about my drive.  My mother say "I don't want to ride a car that you drive."  I want to be good driver!!  So this year I will be practice driving more.

My second resolutuon is to clean my room.  I will throw away the useless things and a lot of manga(Japananese comics).  And I will buy my new bed!!

My third resolution is to read books.  I like to read books.  But I read only 6 books last year...  So I will read more books this year!!

My fourth resolition is to do push-up at least 30 times.  Now I can do push-up 12 times.  Better my own records!! 

What is your new year's resolution?  Wish me luck with my resolutions!  Good luck with yours too!

For this report I researched about Italy.  Italy is a country in western of Europe.  Italy have really beautiful city.  I am interested in Italy.  I want to know more about Italy.  So I asked people in Italy about there country.  I got 4 responses to my questions.  

I have heard all Italian have an espresso machine at home.  So I asked them about it.  They said “Yes.  It’s true!”  One parson answered “Everyone has an espresso machine at home, even me and I don't like coffee at all.”  I was really surprised!!  

I learned that Italian foods on Christmas.  Christmas is coming soon!  So I asked them “What do you eat on Christmas in Italy?”  Most of people eat meat! 

One person eat lasagna, cappone(a kind of chicken), lentils with "zampone(pork)" and wine.Another person eat Scacciate, Pandoro and Panettone.  Pandoro and Panettone are delicious traditional Italian sweet yeast breads, most popular around Christmas and other special occasions.  Pandoro is traditionally shaped like a frustum with 8 points-star section.  I like cakes but I have never eaten it.

I don’t know Scacciate.  She said “Scacciate is a kind of covered pizza (or if you like salt cake) with spinach, sausage meat and cheese, or with ricotta cheese, cheese, and ham, or with cheese and ham.”  Looks delicious!!  I want to eat it♪  I have never ridden gondola…  I think almost people who live in Italy have ridden gondola.  But 4 out of 4 people said “I have never ridden gondola.”   One people have been to Venice once but didn’t ride.  I want to ride gondola someday.  

I asked them about Japanese food.  2 out of 4 people said they have eaten Japanese food.  They like Japanese food especially sushi.  My Italian friend like sushi too!  One person have never eaten Japanese food but his sister likes Japan.  

Italy sounds like a great place to visit.  I saw a lot of pictures on Google.  The buildings are really beautiful.  Also I felt that people in Italy is very kind.  And now I really want to go there.  I will visit there someday!  Hopefully I can meet some of my new friends!!

Thank you very much.  I thank all of peole who answered my questions★☆
