Book-review １－７ The coldest place on earth

I have read the book of " The coldest place on earth ". The is the story that who can go to the South pole first. The race began in the summer of 1910. Two men were trying to go the South pole. One of the men is Captain Robert Falcon Scott. He was forty-one years old and he had friend that named Titus Oates. His ship's name was " Terra Nova ". And other man was " Roald Amundsen".He had friend that named " Olav Bjaaland ". First he wanted to go to Artic. But he changed his mind on the way to Arctic. Because last year Peary, an American , found the North Pole.
On October 27th, Terra Nova arrived in Wellington, New Zealand. On day a newspaperman gave him a newspaper. The newspaper was written the article of the race. Roald Amundsen had eight men, and ninty-nine dogs. On the other side, Terra Nova had sixteen men and the new moter sledges and nineteen ponies. The two ships, Terra Nova and Fram, arrived in Antarctica, in January 1911, at the end of summer. After arrived in Antarctica, Roald Amundsen put a big wooden house on the ice. The house was full of food, and skies, and sledges. They called it Framheim. Before the winter, they wanted to take a lot of food south, and leave it in depots. For the long journey to the Pole, they needed a lot of food. In this time the temperature was sometimes -40°Centigrade.
Oates went with Scott to make the first British depot. There were thirteen men, eight ponies, and twenty-six dogs. There were very strong wind,and -20°Centigrade. After eightten days, two of the ponies were dead. It was dark for four month in Antarctica, and it was often -60°It was very very cold. The Norwegians arrived the Pole faster than Scot. After three days Scott arrived the pole. When they were going back to Cape Evans, they didn't have much food and thier clothes were not warm. The temperature was -40°centigrade. They were very tired. After all they didn't come back to Cape Evans. On October 26th 1912, The Englishmen started for the south to find them. Two weeks later, they found a tent. There were three bodies in the tent, Scott, Wilson, and Bowers. There was some letters and diaries. In Scott's diary it was written that " Oates died like a good Englishmn. We all did. Please, remembers us, and loof after our families. We did our best ".( 433 words )

I went to farewell party !

I went to farewell party last night. Yesterday farewell party was held at domitory for foreign students. Now about thirty students goes to the KGU for exchange students. This month about twelve students will leave in Kumamoto. They have been living for one year. There are students from England, Canada, Australia, China, Vietnam, Korea.

First each students had a speech. I was suprised that they speak Japanese well. As they lived in Japan for one year, they could speak Japanese well. If I lived in foreign countries for one year, I may speak English better than now.

After speech, we ate some foodds with talking each other. After that some students sang a song and played games. I remembered my young age. When I was young, I used to go to the party like this. I was interesting in foreign countries, foreign culture when I was young. They were look like me. I think exchang students had a good experience. I recomend young peoole will go abroad. I have been Australia for one year. I had good experience, I can't buy this experience. Even now, I'd like to live foerign countries.( 191 words )
