So you can enjoy the summer in not dawn all day. There are a lot of things. For example, hiking in the verdure's forest, cruise in lake and outdoor festival.

Before I talked about a night under the midnight sun a little bit. However, I will talk about it more. A night under the midnight sun is a night that light of sun light up. In the night, the sun doesn't set. It's thought that situation what people walk in town is daytime. The phenomenon is only happened in the Arctic and the Antarctic from spring to summer. In Finland, the phenomenon is happened, too. However, Lapland is outstanding. In Lapland of spring, the night under the midnight sun, there is light that you can enjoy ski even if it is midnight. In the Finland, you can experience the night under the midnight sun.

There is the second biggest festival, the summer solstice festival. People celebrate the coming of summer and wish the peace. They gather to a big square and they dance with fun. There are a lot of events and stalls there. White, blue and red of the folk costume is sightseeing.

Seasons and Celebrations

I read Seasons and Celebrations. It is written about festivals old and new, The New Year, Valentine's Day, Easter, The Fourth of July, Hallowe'en, Guy Fawkes' Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas.
In especially, I was interested in Hallowe'en and Christmas. In Japan, I think that the event is not familiar yet. In last Hallowe'en, I took part in a parade of Hallowe'en. And then, I costumed a little and I walked around the Kumamoto down town. And I shouted "Trick or Treat?" to shopper. (It's a volunteer) And I got some candies with children. I think that the event should to be fashionable more! Also Christmas is famous event all over the world. In USA, Canada and UK, the habit that people send a Christmnas card each other is very usual. However, In Japan, It is not usual. So I think that the habit is very good and we should send a Christmas card, too.

FOOD AND DRINK IN BRITAIN

I read FOOD AND DRINK IN BRITAIN.
It is written about a history of British food and drink. Also it is written about the British food and drink today.
Although Britain is quite a small country, it offers a wide choice of food and drink. The types of food people eat have changed a lot over the years for several reasons. People have come to Britain from different parts of the world, bringing their favorite food with them and often opening restaurants. British people have travelled to other countries and brought new foods back home. And today big supermarket companies can buy food from all over the world and sell it while it is still good to eat.
In Britain you can find traditional food like roast beef or fish and chips - and vegetarian food foe those who do not eat meat. As well as foods from different parts of Britain, we can buy Italian, Mexican and West Indian food. Tea is often described as the national drink, but in Britain's pubs you can drink beers and wines from many different countries as well as cider from the West Country and whisky from Scotland.
I think that Britainhas a lot of history of foods. Now, I want to eat fish and chips! At my part time job place - Guraze has fish and chips. So I will eat it next time.

Stories and Snowman

I read Stories of Snowmen. The book is written 3 stories of Snowmen. The first story is about Chilly and the bonfire. Chilly is a snowman. This was made by Jack. One day, Jack's neighbor, Mr. Oats was putting up a sign "Grand Christmas Party". In the party, you can enjoy music, Dancing, Games, Hot chocolate, Toasted Marshmallows, Blazing Bonfire and buy your tickets at the farm shop. Jack loves Toasted Marshmallows. He wanted to take part in the party. So He asked Mr. Oats "Can I come to your party, please?" Mr. Oats replied "Of course, Jack. I'll let you in for free if you help me build the bonfire." So Jack decided to help Mr. Oats. In no time, they had a huge bonfire. However, the next morning, it had vanished. New footprints led from Jack's house to where the bonfire had been. So Mr. Oats thought that Jack did it. However, Jack didn't do it actually. Jack was banned from the party. Mr. Oats built a new bonfire and stomped home. That night, Jack couldn't get to sleep. Just then, he heard the clattering of wood outside. Jack raced out of the house. Jack couldn't believe his eyes. Chilly the snowman was taking down the bonfire. Yes, Chilly took the bonfire. It was so close, Chilly would have melted. Also a snowman must return to where he was built after he came alive. So Chilly did that. So Jack and his icy new friend carried the logs to the middle of the field. The pair spent all night building the new bonfire. Chilly returned to his place just before Mr. Oats arrived. Mr. Oats was so impressed because the bonfire was very nice. After I read this story, I felt that it is exactly! The snowman is clever. I thought that Jack and Chilly are good partners. Also I felt hungry because I love toasted marshmallows, too! Oh, I want to eat ones now!! However, I don't have Marshmallows in my house now. I should buy many marshmallows today. Also there are other 2 stories of snowman. The one is about Snowy and Icy. The other one is about Freezy's new buttons. These stories are very fun. However, I had a lot of feelings about that. So I finished the feelings.

small dinosaurs."

Jordan and Kaitlyn were hiking on the Rainbow Ravine Trail with their families. As they were walking along, Pointing to Jordan's feet, Kaitlyn asked, "are you sure you want to take those brand new tennis shoes out here?" Jordan laughed and said, "They are going to get dirty one day. Come on, let's go!" They took off running and they climbed into the dry, empty canyon. Kaitlyn said, "I wonder if anything has ever lived here." Then, Jordan answered, "I think so. MIllions of years ago, places like this had lots of plants and animals. There might even be fossils here." Jordan looked at his new shoes. They were covered in sand and dirt. Jordan grabbed a handful of dirt and let it sift through his hand. The dirt landed right on his new shoes. Kaitlyn and Jordan walked back to the trail. They passed a group of hikers. A ranger explained, "Millions of years ago, there was lots of life up here. We have found fossils up here of large and small dinosaurs." Jordan and Kaitlyn stepped closer to listen. The ranger said, "Not all fossibls are of animals. There are sea shell and plant fossils up here." Then, Jordan and Kaitlyn ran to catch up with their families. They came back home. Jordan took off his shoes and shook the dirt out of both of them into the paper cup. He thought it's not just dirt. He is going to put it under his microscope at home. There are things in it he can't see right now.
