THE CARRIE DIARIES Week2



  I just started reading this book.

                                                        
                                                


 THE CARRIE DIARIES is written by Candace Bushnell. Do you know "Sex and the City"? and  Do you know "Carrie Bradshaw"? Actually this book follows during Carrie's senior year of high school in early 1980s and part of writer in New York. I've never seen Sex and the City so this is a good opportunity to start reading this series from the begin!!

 The main character of this book whose name is Carrie, she is 17 years old. Her father is a scientist and she has two younger sisters. And she also has four best friends; Lali, Jill( the Mouse), Moggie and Walt (Maggie's boyfrienfd).

  The story begins at their very first day of senior year. Carrie and Lali are expecting that this year is going to be special. Because they were supposed to have a boyfriend last year but they couldn't. So they made up their mind each other.

  There are many characters in the story. But Sebastian Kydd is different. I think he is a key person. He came to Caslteburry few years ago. Carrie's mother and his mother used to be friend. Their children knew each other. Especially when Carrie was young, she fell in love with him at first sight.
But he is asked going out with popular cheerleaders, Jen P and Jen S.

 
 

    Carrie is wandering about her future. Her father wants her to be scientist but she likes writing. So she wants to attend school for journalism. She applies a writing program secretly but she couldn't pass. And she also worries about if she is the only virgin in her group of friends. Because Mouse, who is smart girl, lost her virginity. She dosen't know how she is going to get through that year. She is really shocked about it.

Sunday, 21, April Self-Introduction--Risako Ono

    Hello! My name is Risako Ono. I'm from Kyoto in Japan and I live in the middle of city.
My life is ordinary. Sometimes I get bored because everyday is the SAME. But I'm enjoying every moment.

   Actually I have so many hobbies. Traveling foreign country, listening to music, watching movie, talking, eating and just walking....:) But I loove going to abroad. If you go to another country, you can find a lot of new things and meeting new people is really fun!! You can learn from them or each other a lot.



    This spring holiday I went to UK. I was staying in Norwich for one month. Norwich is east part of England. It's 2hour-ride from Norwich to London by bus. I think it's safer than London, very peaceful
place. Because my host father ( his name is Gerald) always said, " Norwich No Crazy People." Actually it's True. Threre are many lovely people. Especially my host family was Awesome!!! I felt more comfortable than Japan. I don't know why. And surprisingly Gerald is good at cooking! I never complained about his cook. I had a lovely lovely time there. Now I'm really interested in British English.

   I have foreign friends. They are exchange students at Doshisha University. I belong to DESA which is international circle activity. We usually go out with them and do a lot of things. For example, going to see Gionmasturi or climbing Mt. Daimonji. Having a fun time with them is very good for us to understand each other.

   My favorite movie is " P.S I Love You". I can't watch this without crying. I like every kind of movie. And my favorite singer is Taylor Swift, One Direction and Rita Ora. Recently I began to listen to K-Pop songs.

   Nice to meet you!!!
