Hello everyone!
Halloween is on Monday, and it is my favorite holiday! When I was oyunger I would go trick or treating with my little brother and sister around my neighborhood. We always got lot of candy from our neighbors!
My favorite candy we would get are called Almond Joys--its a chocolate with coconut filling and an almond on top.
Do you have any plans for Halloween this year? Will you be dressing up in a costume?
Have a happy Halloween!

The leaves are finally changing!
Hello everyone!
How are you doing?
Are you enjoying the weather as much as I am?
I went for a walk last weekend and noticed that some of the trees have started to change colour!
I love to see the red and orange leaves at this time of year.
I want to go to Shukkeien gardens to see the leaves there!
I've heard they look amazing!
What have you got planned for this autumn?
What will you do in the cooler weather?
Let me know!

Hello everyone!
In America during the fall we like to eat a lot of pumpkin flavored things--here in Japan everyone likes to eat things that taste like sweet potatoes! At home, I love pumpkin coffees and pumpkin pie, but here I really enjoy the sweet potato pastries and ice creams .
What is your favorite sweet potato flavored food? So far I really like sweet potato ice cream, or sweet potato pie!
Enjoy your weekend!

Hi everyone!
Winter vacation is not too far away now!
Do you have any plans?
I'm getting more and more excited to go on vacation to Hokkaido this winter!
Have you ever been to Hokkaido before?
I really want to go hiking in the snow!
Where will you go this winter vacation?
Will you stay at home or will you travel somewhere different?
I hope wherever you go, you have a great time!

みなさん、こんにちは。
突然ですが、今日は何の日でしょう。
1923年の今日、アメリカ・カリフォルニア州であの有名な会社が創設されました。
その名も「ウォルト・ディズニー・カンパニー」です。
ディズニーといえば、知らない人はいないでしょう。
今日はディズニー作品の中でも邦題とタイトルが異なるものを見てみましょう。
・"COCO"
邦題は「リメンバー・ミー」。
原題のココとは主人公のおばあちゃんの名前に由来します。
・"Tangled"
邦題は「ラプンツェル」。
長い髪が特徴的なプリンセスです。"tangled"は「もつれた」という意味を持ちます。
・"Up"
邦題は「カールじいさんの空飛ぶ家」。
原題は、家が飛ぶ様子を端的に表したタイトルがついています。
いかがでしたでしょうか。
みなさんもぜひ原題と邦題が異なるものを探してみてくださいね。
Hello everyone!
One of my favorite Halloween traditions was going to a pumpkin patch.
My parents would take me, my brother and sister to a field of pumpkins. We would each be able to pick out our own pumpkin and take it home to carve into a jack'o lantern. Afterwards, we would put candles and cinnamon into the jack 'o lanterns and put them on our front porch until October was over.
What is your favorite fall or Halloween traditon?
Enjoy your weekend!

Hello everyone,
How are you doing this week?
I'm doing great now that the weather is cooling down!
It reminds me of what I used to do in Autumn back in the UK.
Every Autumn, I used to pick blackberries with my grandparents.
It was very fun to go for walks in cold weather and pick fruit to eat.
Do you pick fruit with your family?
What fruit is common to pick in Japan?
Enjoy the cooler weather everyone!

Hello everyone!
I hope you are having a good week!
Today I want to talk about our favourite animals.
My favourite animal is a penguin.
I like them because they are very fluffy and and clumsy.
They fall down a lot.
They also slide on their stomachs to help them travel faster.
What animal do you like and why?
Have a great week everyone!
