Now Kino and Juna got up then Kino went to outside ,and Juna started to cook breakfast. When they were eating breakfast,they had spoken once,but there is not need for speech if it is only a habit anyway. Kino sighed with satisfaction and that was conversation. After that they went to look at the baby. Kinos breath whistled in his nostrils and he opened his mouthto stop it, there was a scorpion on the rope toward the box. He tried to catch it , but it fell down t. then they heard babys yelling with pain from his box . Juna said "go to get the doctor" but neighber said "he would not come" Therefore, they decided to go to doctor.

I want you to know about me so much


Hi I m Hiroyuki Tanno plese call me hiro or yuki or grandchild of samurai. I m from Miyagi in Japan. I have been here for a year already, and I live on capitolhill with my brother now.When I just came here, I was in ESL level 1; moreover, my eglish skill was so terrible. I didnt know everything such as: what, where, when,who, which,and how, and although I want to ask something ,I couldnt make a question sentence. Therefore, I didnt have skill to speak English; I didnt have an enough courage becouse You know I m coward. Ok ok lets talk about my major! my major is........................... I havent dicided it actually bacouse I think I should concentrate for English at first. So I have never thought about my major. But when I will not worry about my English, I can step up to the next stage that is my major.Now i cant decide it. In the futer, I plan to go to collage here when I finish ESL becouse I dont want to go back Japan as long as I can. I had lived there for 18 years, but I feel uncomfortable when I stay there.In fact, when I went back Japan for 4months ago, I was insomniac.I couldnt be relxed there.Maybe american atomospher is matcher than japanese for me.Now i m studing English, so I want to use it for living here becouse as you know I dont want to go back Japan!!!!
