sign language

As you know every Thursdays is a sign language lesson day. We usually do the words for a test but today was different. We talked about many things all the time.

When we speak a learning language, of course we have words or expressions which we don't know how to say. In that case, we use finger letters. They are signs to show from あ to ん of Japanese sounds. They are very useful. We show the word or expression with them to our teacher and she tells us its sign language. After we learned them, I think our communication got much smoother and faster than writing down the words on a board.

Next week will be our last lesson of this year. We're planning to have a Christmas party! It will be fun!!

I love Anne♪♪♪

I read a book, Anne of Green Gables by L. M. Montgomery.

This is a world famous book and my favorite! I read it first time when I was in the high school. I love Anne and her family and friends. Every time I read a part, Matthew died, I become almost cry. He was a so nice man and a first friend of Anne. When she wanted a dress with puffsleeves, Marilla said no but he got one for her. He was with Anne at anytime. Loosing someone important made Anne more stronger. She became a teacher in a town to be with Marilla.

Also I love the part of Anne and Gilbert. In this book they are not good friends but gradually they become closer through this Anne series. I like both, Anne and Gilbert so I was very happy when I read about them.

As I love this book so much, one of my big plan this summer in Canada was to visit Prince Edward Island and to see the land Anne lived. PEI is famous for the place as Anne was born. L. M. Montgomery was from PEI and made this story. In PEI, there are many places about Anne.
Of course I went to the Green Gables, L. M. Montgomery's birth place and so on. Not only I visited some these places, but also I watched some musicals.

I watched "Anne of Green Gables" and "Anne and Gilbert". "Anne of Green Gables" was the best! It was awesome and perfect!! All casts were as they were in the book and music was also great. I bought a CD after the show, actually. Because the show was so good and I saw a poster of "Anne and Gilbert", I went to watch it. It was okey. I enjoyed it. But to tell you the truth, it was just after one night I watched the first show and it was so good, I didn't feel great. Anyway it was worth watching these musicals for me.

These pictures you can see at the top are from my trip.
