  Hello, everybody!! Today, I'm going to talk about gambling. Do you like gambling? I don't like it because my friends lost a lot of money in Pachinko. I can't understand why they go to lost money. If they didn't go to Pachinko, they could save money. However, they had going to Pachinko. I think gambling is kind of Tabasco or drug because they can't quite gambling although they lost money. If I get a same situation, I think I don't go to Pachinko forever. By the way, my father had buying lottery. I think it's useless because he always bought it for ten thousand yen and came back to money about five hundred yen only. I said to father, "It's waste!!" But he said, "It's OK. I bought a dream". What do you think? I couldn't understand it.

I would like to talk about a memory, of when I was seven years old and in the first grade of elementary school.
My hometown has a famous mountain, named Mt.Xiaoshan. Mt.Xiaoshan has a beautiful waterfall in spring, summer, and autumn.
One day, my father said to me “ If you have good grades for your examination, I will take you to Mt.Xiaoshan to see the waterfall.” I was very excited, so I studied very hard and got good grades, my father decided to take me to Mt.Xiaoshan.
On that day, we got up at 5:00 a.m. On our way to Mt.Xiaoshan, I was very sleepy. However I couldn’t sleep, because I sat behind my father on his bicycle, if I slept, I would fall to the ground, so my father encouraged me to sing songs one by one……
I remembered my father was in a sweat because it was an early summer and my father rode his bicycle as hard as he could……
We arrived at Mt.Xiaoshan at 8:00am, I can’t remember if I saw the waterfall or not. However I remembered my father taking me by bicycle, whick took about 3 hours.
It was my most interesting experience.

7.6 The best book that I never read

Title is Happy Birthday - The Moment When  Life Brightens -.

I will give about an outline of this book. As the older son grew up his mother loved him very much. However when his sister grew up the mother didn't love her. The mother was cruel to the  sister, Asuka. Mother said to Asuka, "You shouldn't have been born." Asuka thought this everyday. Asuka couldn't utter anything because of her mother's abuse. The mother and Asuka were hungry for affection.

I cried very much. This story isn't rare in Japan. Mother's can't love their children but children love their mothers. I think that we face with this problem.

He wrote three books, while he was battling with cancer. This book is his first novel. He was suffering from cancer. But, he wasn't worried about it. I was surprised because he has three children, a wife and he was still only 38 years old. If I were in  the same situation, I would be very nervous. However, he was a really positive and active person. He began to writing novels ever since he got cancer. He wrote about himself. At that time, writing was great love of his life. When I read this book, I was influenced by him. If you have a chance to read his book, you will be moved. He has a cancer. But I think he was really happy person.
