BR 2-17: ARTHUR'S READING RACE



I read the book today. Arthur learned to read in school so he reads everywhere. He thought that he reads a book for his sister D.W., but she said she has known how to read. Then, he had a good idea. If she can read ten words, he will treat ice cream for her. They went outside and various places. D.W. knew many words and sometimes reminded Arthur. She read only eight words when they came near their house. But she read ice cream, hot dog so Arthur treated ice cream for her. I read many Arthur’s series in second semester. I think they really attach to each other.

I got up early and went to Tsuruya with my parents. I left them when we arrived there and went in front of PARCO. I met Hitomi and went to TSUTAYA to buy a hairstyle magazine because we didn’t decide our hairstyle in coming of age ceremony. I said to her “I want to set cute hair style. How about you?” She said, “I want to plait my hair.” I said “Oh! Really? I want to plait my hair, too.” We read a lot of magazines because there were many various hair catalogs. We bought a magazine because we will have our hair set at same beauty salon. After that, we went to an accessory shop and Hitomi bought a pierced earring. She bought it only 300 yen because the accessory shop was having a half price sale. Then, we went to Donkihote and I bought made fingernail and eyelash. I will put on the coming of age ceremony. Then, we went to Italian Tomato to have lunch. She ate pasta and I ate a hot dog while we pored the magazine. Hitomi and I decided our hairstyle. Then, we went shopping a little. I found my favorite pants but I couldn’t buy because I didn’t have money too much. Then, she went to a beauty salon.

I called my mother “Where are you now?” she said, “We are in Okada coffee on Kamitori” so I went there. My parents talked very nicely with each other so I thought that they were having a date. I might interrupted. I ordered a cup of coffee and a strawberry tart. We could put fresh cream in coffee. It was delicious. I want to go Okada coffee in Tsuruya next time because my friend work there. Then, we went to New-s and my father bought a bag and a bath additive. I could buy a check shirt only 1700 yen!
