Writing Essay about Indonesia

I want to tell you about Indonesia. When I went to the United States, I made a really great friend from Indonesia. She was an exchange student as well. She is Muslim, and taught me a lot of things about her religion, and Indonesia. That’s why I’m interested in Indonesia.
The capital city is Jakarta, and the entire population is about two hundred million. 87.1 % of the population is Muslim. They pray five times a day, and they can’t eat pork or drink alcohol. They also have fast for about a month a year.

Indonesian famous food is Nasi Goreng.

It's fried rice with chili sauce. You eat with sunny-side up egg or pickles. Another famous food is Martabak Telor. It’s like Japanese egg roll. There are duck eggs, ground meat, or onion in it. It has wide appeal. Indonesian food always has much kind of spices and herbs.

They speak Indonesian there. Indonesian is sixth big language. They use the Roman alphabet notation. The grammar is really complicated, so it’s takes long time to use it well.

There are still many things that I don’t know about Indonesia.
I want to learn about there more, and I want to go there sometimes.

My Favorite Singer Group, w-inds.






I want to tell you about my favorite singer group called w-inds.. There are three guys in w-inds.: Ryohei, Keita, and Ryuichi. They are a J-pop singing and dancing group. I go to every concert of theirs, and that is the most exciting event for me.

The first time I saw them was about eight years ago. My sister was watching them on TV, and asked me which guy I like. When I saw them, I just fell in love with them. I love their songs, dancing but also their way of thinking.

Before I got to know about w-inds., I wasn't very interested in music. But now, I listen to their songs whenever I'm happy, sad, mad, or depressed. They always cheer me up and give me energy. I can say they changed my life. I learned a lot of important things from them. One day I want to see them face to face and talk. That is one of my dreams.

About San Francisco

I want to tell you about San Francisco. I’ve been to San Francisco twice, and I loved it there. They have a lot of fun stuff to do.

San Francisco is in California State of the United States. The population is about 80,0000 people. It is a global city in the US. There are many sightseeing places, shopping places, and good food.


At first, I recommend you to go to the Golden Gate Bridge. It connects the city of San Francisco to Marin County. It’s an internationally recognized symbol of San Francisco. You can walk over the bridge for free. It’s famous as a sightseeing spot, but also as a suicide location.

Next, you might want to go to Pier 39. There are more than 110 stores, and 14 Bay view restaurants. And you can enjoy the world-famous sea lions and street performers.





There is something for everyone at San Francisco. You never get bored there. There are so many things you can enjoy. So, I recommend you to go there sometimes.

Writing Essay 3, Movie Review (BENNY & JOON)







I will talk about one of my favorite movies called “BENNY & JOON”. It’s a Romantic-comedy. It was released on 16 April in 1993. The director is Jeremiah S. Chechik. The cast includes Johnny Depp who plays the role of Sam, Mary Stuart Masterson as Joon, Aidan Quinn as Benny, and Julianne Moore as Ruthie. This movie is about a woman who is mentally ill finds her love in an eccentric man.

Joon and her brother, Benny lived in a small town. Joon had a mentally illness, so after they lost their parents, Benny who worked for an auto mechanic took care of her very hard. However he was really hesitant about whether or not to leave her in a facility. The doctor and his friends advised him to do that, because he always put Joon first. He never went out because of his sister.

Benny and Joon were in his friend’s house as always, and when he left the house for a bit, she was playing poker with his friends. Because she lost, she had to take care of her friend’s cousin, Sam. He is quiet, eccentric, and didn’t know how to read or write. However Sam was growing on Joon.

One day, Benny, Joon and Sam went on a picnic, but Benny was feeling down. He blew his first date with Ruthie, so Sam started to mime to cheer him up. His pantomime was incredible, and a crowd of people had gathered around him. Benny was amazed with Sam’s pantomime, and secretly made an appointment for an audition. However Joon didn’t like that idea and they started to argue. Then while arguing, Benny found out they were in a relationship. He got mad and kicked Sam out. That night, Sam and Joon tried to run away, but she had a panic attack on the bus. She went straight to the mental hospital.

She kept refusing to see Benny, and finally realized that what she needed was Sam. Benny and Sam sneaked into the hospital, and tried to take her home. After they had talked, Joon decided to live together with Sam. And so, Benny rekindled his love with Ruthie who is their caretaker now.

I love this movie because the love is really pure, and every little thing they do is really funny. For example, Joon always makes special drinks with the blender in the morning. The special drink has milk, peanut butter, and some cereal. Sam toasts bread with the iron on the ironing board. He also prepares crab in the dishwasher. He always creates great music with many things, and every time more and more funny.

My favorite scene is in the diner when Sam was playing with the rolls, and juggling the plates. Then he plays two roles by himself with Ruthie. My other favorite scene is at the hospital when he first starts swinging across the window to see Joon, and falls. They are really funny and I laughed out loud every time. The scene where Sam said, “I love you” to Joon is the sweetest thing ever. I love that scene. When I watched it for the first time, I was moved. I watched this movie over and over. I recommend it to you.


You can watch “BENNY & JOON” here GyaO for free now:D!

Kumamoto Zoo, Writing Essay 2

movie of DISKO



Kumamoto Zoo

I want to tell you about Kumamoto zoo. I live near that zoo, so I go there least once a year. If you want to relax and have some clear atmosphere, I recommend you go there. It’s located near an oasis of nature in the city, Lake Ezu. You can walk there in about ten minutes after you get off the tram at Dousyokubutuen-mae. It opens from nine am to five pm. It costs 300 yen for adults, 100 yen for children.

The total area of this zoo is 24 hectares. You can enjoy four kinds of attractions which are the animals, amusements rides, gardens, restaurants, and a souvenir shop. 130 kinds of animals and 600 kinds of plants may soothe you. You can try eleven big rides and 40 small rides. They cost just 10 to 300 yen for each. If you want to take a break, you can go to two restaurants and one souvenir shop.

The most famous animal is the golden snub-nosed monkey. It’s well-known as image of the main character, Songoku. There is a place where you can pet animals. You can have a close contact with animals such as guinea pigs, prairie dogs, mice, sheep, goats, chicks, and chickens. The interesting thing is the Prairie Dog Paddock. You can go through the tunnel and get close-up to prairie dogs at their eye levels.

There is a Ferris wheel, roller coaster, merry-go-round and so on, as normal amusement parks. I recommend you try the monorail. It goes around the zoo for about five minutes, and you can see many animals from different views. The most popular ride for young people is DISKO. It swings left to right while turning. If you like scream rides, you will love it. The zoo is getting many big rides these days, so young people can enjoy them.

The place called Hana-no-kyukeijyo is my favorite place there. It’s a big greenhouse and there are 340 kinds of plants. You can see so many plants and butterflies you probably have never seen before. When you go in there, you can hear the sounds of streams and feel like you are in a completely different place from Japan. The atmosphere is wonderful. That’s why I love that place.

There is a cute souvenir shop. They have some original snacks, stuffed animals, and so on. The most popular souvenir is a snack called Gorira-no-hanakuso. The name sounds silly, but they are sugared beans. It’s pretty famous in Japan. They also have some toys made from woods. They are all handmade toys, so they are good for little kids.

They have many events, so many schools take kids there. I think it’s really neat that you can enjoy many things at the same time. You don’t have to pay that much money, and small kids, young people, elderly people, and of course couples can enjoy it. You won’t find any other places where everyone can get relax and excited. It’s one of the best places in Kumamoto. If you have time and want to have some fun, you probably want to go there.


I can't put space on the first of paragraphs=(!!!!!
