My name is Keiko. I love playing the piano. I practice every day after school. My teacher says I am getting better. Last week, I played a song at my school concert. Many people listened to me. I was nervous, but I did my best. After the concert, my parents said they were very proud of me. I want to keep practicing.
I started junior high school this spring. Everything is new and exciting. I joined the soccer club. My teammates are very friendly and we practice three times a week. At first, I could not keep up with the others, but now I am improving. My homeroom teacher is kind and always helps us when we have problems. I am really enjoying my new school life.
Our school has a project to protect the environment. Every month, we clean the park near our school. We pick up trash and plant flowers. Last month, we found a lot of plastic bottles near the river. Our teacher explained that plastic is dangerous for fish and other animals. Now I always use a reusable bag when I go shopping. Small actions can make a big difference.
The school library will be closed next Monday and Tuesday for cleaning. During these two days, you cannot borrow or return any books. The library will open again on Wednesday at nine in the morning. If you have books that are due on Monday, please return them by this Friday. We have also added many new science and history books to our shelves. Please come and enjoy reading. Thank you for your understanding.
Hi Mark, how are you doing? I'm writing to tell you about our school festival on October 15th. My class is going to open a small café, and I will make sandwiches. The festival starts at ten in the morning. Could you come and visit us? It would be wonderful to see you there. Please write back and let me know. Best wishes, Kenta.
Last Sunday, I went to the zoo with my family. We saw many animals. I liked the elephants the most. They were very big and they ate a lot of fruit. My younger sister was scared of the snakes, but she enjoyed watching the monkeys. We bought some ice cream and ate it on a bench. It was a wonderful day for all of us.
My father likes cooking very much. On weekends, he makes dinner for our family. Last Saturday, he cooked curry and rice. It smelled delicious! He let me help him cut the vegetables. I was a little nervous because I am not good at using a knife. But my father showed me how to do it safely. The curry was very tasty. I want to help again next time.
