Prom party!
The prom season has come in U.S! Senior student will enjoy this event!
By the way, do you know the PROM?
We will decide one topic, and study, presentation about American culture In American Affair class. And them, we got a good information about prom. So, I will introduce about it.
In the United States and Canada a prom, short for promenade, is used to describe a semi-formal graduation dance party. It is held at the end of an academic year. It will be usually held between July and September. As a rule, student can attend the prom as a couple. Your date can be anyone; for example boy friend, classmate, graduated student. They call the partner “date”. The attendance is not compulsory. Generally, boy ask girl out to the prom.
The hall is usually their high school gym, or hotel. At the hall, rock in roll band or DJ will come, and they arouse students at the prom to enthusiasm. The Rock music is standard number as a buck ground Music, and lately, the HIP-HOP is also popular among them.
Proms were first mentioned in the high school yearbooks of the 1930s and 1940s, but historians believe they may have existed as early as the late 1800s. Proms first began in the elite colleges of the Northeast. High school proms began in the early 1900s, they were relatively simple affairs. The high school prom expanded into a yearly class banquet at which seniors arrived in party clothes and danced.
Present day, Prom is one of the most exciting events. So, They, especially girls want to have fun so much!!
Students will prepare for the Prom from before 2 or 3 month.
In Prom, Boys usually dress a tuxedo, sometimes with brightly colored cummerbunds or vests, and boutonnieres. Girls usually wears formal dress, and then, she dress up her hair and make-up. She put on a corsage. After dressed up they changes so wonderful!
Traditionally, girls gave boys matching boutonnieres to be worn on their tuxedos or waistcoats. Girls traditionally wear adorned with a corsage given to them by their dates.
On the very day of the prom, some students get together, and ride in the same limousine. And they goes to a good restaurant by limo, and have a dinner.
After the dinner, they arrive at the hall.
When the couple comes in the hall, they have photographer take a picture. They pose for a good picture each other. This picture will be a great memory in their life. And then, DJ or music band begin to play the music. Many students enjoy dancing, and chatting.
In the end of the prom, there is a big entertainment. It is election of prom King&Queen. Many participant votes for candidates and decide them. The couple who was elected will be given a crown and big bouquet. And they will be taken a picture by many students.
But, some problems are existed. One is the cost. Cost of the prom is one of the biggest problems. They need a very big money for a dress, corsage, admission fee, transport expense (limousine) ,food bill…etc.
Some of students who don't have any money can't attend the prom.
And also, underage drinking potential is serious problem.
Some students join Anti-Prom (morp) because of these reasons.
Prom is formal style party. At the prom only popular people (Jock and Queen bee)are conspicuous. And more, sexual problem (gay or les),Religious problem are big problem.
Anyway, prom is alien customs to Japanese. So, although this event has some problems, we aspire to attend it.
There are some movies that prom is as a main topic of it in U.S. She's all that, Never been kissed, 10things i hate about you, is very very popular movies. If you are interested in Prom, you will enjoy it! ( 642 words)

Book review 1- 13 Food and Drink in Britain
I read about food and drink in Britain.
In this book, we will look at some of the different things the British eat and drink today.
In my image, famous food and drink in Britain is potato, bean, and tea. My image was not wrong. In Britain, potato is one of the most important or staple foods in British diet.
Potato first came from South America. In Peru, farmers grew them from the 13th century. And then, the Spanish brought them back to Europe in 16th century. In the 17th century, potatoes were introduced to the British and later, they became an important food. Because, when many people died because of disease and crops failed, the potato could be harvested then. Today, the British grows million tones of potatoes every year. And most people eat over a hundred kilograms a year. They can also make potato soup, potato bred, potato salad or use up in a dish. Potato is more popular during the W.W.Ⅱ because although it was difficult to find some foods, potatoes could be bought. Today, many shops and supermarket sells a variety of potatoes.
And, I think the word “England” always reminds us “tea”. Although coffee has become very popular in Britain in recently years, tea is still the national drink. Over 25 million cups of tea are sold every day, and many million cups of tea sold everyday, and millions are made at home in Britain. The history of tea in Britain was started in 17th century. Tea was brought from china. At first it was very expensive. So, few people could buy it. In 18th century, it was drunk so much in Britain. By the late 18th century, Britain became a centre of the world tea business. Since 19th century, tea has been brought to Britain from India, Africa, and Sri Lanka like China. Today, there are over 1500 different kinds of tea in Britain. For example, Assam, Darjeeling, Oolong, Earl Grey and English Breakfast. Each one has a different smell and taste. ( 350 words )

I. How you blog, (when, where, about what, etc)
II. Good and bad points about blogging
III. Summary and advice to other students
I. I usually make a blog when I stay and be relaxing in my room. I write bookreviews and essay because it is assignment. I often write movie and music essay. In making this blog topic, I often add some pictures and animation from web and you tube.
II. The good point in this blog is that it is very good practice to make English composition. Because we have to look up a word in a dictionary when I explain what I want to describe although I don’t know the English word. If I look up a dictionary and check some words, this blog improve my English skill.
The bad point, I have no idea about this. Exactly, the rule when we make a blog is quite strict, but, if there are no rules when we make a blog, almost students will be lazy. So, some rules are necessary because this is a class, and we have to not be given a credit, but get it.
III. Summary and advice to other students is I think it is to enjoy make a blog. It is no problem to use easy and simple words to make composition of blog. And some item of the topic is anything OK. I also post for my interesting news or movie, music. And sometime I am using YOU TUBE. It is good for posting with animation. So, please no thinking difficulty, enjoy it! (262words)
