Misunderstanding
I always get confused when I hear ” 1 o’clock” and ” 7 o’clock” in Japanese. We say ” Ichiji ” for 1 o’clock and ” shichiji ” for 7 o’clock. The pronunciation is very similar, but 1 o’clock and 7 o’clock is totally different, so if I misunderstood, I would mess up and something bad might happen. That’s why I have to confirm which one they said almost every time, That’s so annoying!

Where would you like to go?
I’d like to go to Hawaii because I love the beach. I don’t like cold places, really. I want to go to the beach everyday. Just looking at it makes me so calm and happy. I also like Hawaiian people. They’re really laid back and friendly. When I ‘m in trouble, they help me every time even though we don’t know each other. I want to do beach activities like jet skiing, diving, snorkeling and so on. I would go to the night club with my friends at night, of course! I want to have beach cocktails by the sea. After I go to Hawaii, I would be a cool girl who’d have brown skin!

Model’s condition
Few months ago, a model company announced that they won’t hire models who are too skinny. That’s because lately many model have anorexia to lose their weight and sometimes it causes them to die.
Several years ago, there was a famous model who had a perfect body as a model but she never was satisfied with her body. She always felt she was too fat so that she was getting not to eat food and finally she never ate anything. She was getting skinny, she looked like a skeleton. She finally died a few years later since she started to go on a diet. The news greatly affected the model world. That’s why a model company decided some rules for being a model so the same problem will never happen again.
I agree with the rule but I don’t think it works a lot. A girl’s desire to get a perfect body is so strong and deep. They totally understand that they’d better eat if they want to be a model. However, they can’t stop going on a diet when their weight start to lose because that makes them happy and more motivated. After all, the problem can be caused and solved just with their spirit.

My review of Yogurt Land
This is a shop that serves freshly made yogurt. First, I think the most wonderful thing is to be able to try any flavor you want so you can never miss out on one of your flavor choices. You can eat however much you want because you put the yogurt in a cup by yourself. Don’t worry if you are on a diet. You only have to eat just a bite! You can also chose from many kinds of toppings. For example, OREO cookies, some fruits, chocolate, etc. It’s like a dream!! The cost is decided by how much your cup weighs. If you don’t have enough money, you only have to put a little bit of yogurt in your cup. That’s why I recommend the shop!
