On the 16th night, I went back to Miyazaki because I had to go to like a trainig course on Saturday. On my way to Miyazaki, I was almost sleeping in the bus. I was so tired. Then I got to Miyazaki at 10:30pm.

The next day, after I finished that, we went to TULLY'S COFFEE and on the cup, there was this picture on it. As you know, in Miyzaki, foot and mouth desease caused huge problem to many people so this coffee shop is doing a campaign to raise funds. That's why the picture was on it.

I hope everyone that had foot and mouth desease, will be fine again. It's a really sad ill. We must prevent that ill not to bring again.

Mr. Bean recording

Wednesday, July 21, 2010

Speaking 3: Mr. Bean

Mr. Bean is sleeping now. Then the alarm clock rang but he put it into a glass of water. An automatic tea maker turned on and the steam came on his foot which he stopped but he still didn’t wake up. He kept sleeping for about 50 minutes and got up at 8:53. He made his bed and he banged his head into the wall because he was sleepwalking. Then he put on his slippers, opened the curtains, did exercise and shaved. When he is shaving, he caught his nosehairs into his electric shaver. Then he cut the nose hairs so his electric shaver separated from his nose. He opened the closet and took out his jacket and he hung up the clock to dry. He saw a paper with time of ‘9.00’. He had an appointment at the dentist at 9:00 so he started to panic. He quickly took his clothes, shoes, tooth brush and tooth paste then he went out but returned to his room again and tucked his teddy bear into bed.
He ran out of his house, opened the car door and threw everything into his car. He took a brick from the garden and drove off. He was trying to change his clothes in his car. He took off his pajama then put on a shirt and his car almost ran off the road. Then he put the brick on the accelerator instead of his foot because he needed to put on his pants. He sat in the back seat and he drove with his feet. He turns on the blinker using his foot. It is very strange sight because there is no driver of the car. He put on his jacket and his sox and then blew the car horn. Then he returned to the front seat and started putting on a tie while turning in a roundabout. He put on his shoes on and took off the brick from the accelerator. Then he held the wheel by his teeth and he was going to brush his teeth. He brushed his teeth and then rinsed his teeth with water from the wipers and he spat the water on a road worker’s buttocks. The man thought that it was bird droppings. He arrived at a parking lot and he pushed a car which was already there and he parked his car in the space. Then a meter maid came and she noticed something sticking out of Mr Bean’s pants. It was his pajamas hanging from his zipper. He took them out and put them into the car.
 He went into the dentists. He sat down on a dentist's chair and a doctor started listening to music. He touched lever then the chair went down and he touched again and again, the chair kept going down but the dentist didn’t notice because he was preparing for Mr Bean’s examination. Mr Bean found out a switch to move the chair up and returned the chair to its original place. The dentist was drinking a cup tea and brought a x-ray of his tooth. The dentist turned on the light then used the suction tube to dry the inside of his mouth. The dentist checked his tooth and there was a cavity. Mr Bean plays with the suction tube and sucks up all the the dentist’s drink. The dentist thought that he drank all of it. The dentist gave an injection of anesthetic to make Mr Bean’s mouth go numb. After the dentist turned away, Mr Bean took the injection and was playing with it, but then hid it when the dentist came back. The dentist touched his tooth but it was painful and Mr.Bean injected the anaesthetic into the doctor’s leg accidentally. Then the doctor’s leg went to sleep. The doctor fell down and he was knocked out so Mr.Bean tried to fill his cavity by himself. He looked at the x-ray and checked where his tooth was. He drills out his tooth and put the filling in there. However, he found that the x-ray could be reversed so he did the same thing to a different teeth. But he found it could be turned upside down then he did the same to the all of his teeth. However, because of the filling, jaws stuck together. He tried to open his jaws with a plastic knife but the knife broke. At that time, the doctor woke up and Mr Bean was surprised and he was able to open his mouth. He went out the dentist’s office smiling but the doctor was very tired.

However!! I had a wonderful birthday party on that night. We went to a Japanese restaurant which my father's friend runs. I've never been there because there is very high class restaurant but it was my 20th birthday so my father took us there. The food there were soooooooo delisious!!! We were very happy and the lady gave me famous and expensive sake as a present. I can't drink sake but it was really nice, taste clear and match to the dishes. My family gave me a beautiful pendant as a birthday present. It's so nice and I loved it. My family chose that because my name is from butterfly as I told before and what is more, this pendant is reversible!! It's really unusual, isn't it?!
