What is an ideal beauty?
In my opinion, ideal beauty is not only about appearance. It's about interior beauty, a beautiful soul and a responsive heart. If a person is ready to do anything for others, to help in any situation, to give the most precious things and not to think about their gratitude, then that is a really beautiful person. If there were more of these kinds of people on the earth our world would change for the better and there wouldn't be room for for evil, fighting, killing or wars.
The person in whose heart lives cruelty, jealousy, meanness, greed or hypocrisy can`t be beautiful. All of these qualities certainly impose its mark even on the most perfect face.
And on the other hand, even the most modest, nondescript person who might not have great physical beauty, but is endowed with spiritual beauty, is, no doubt, beautiful.
I guess that real beauty is a harmony of different features of a person. But for example, for one person the most important thing in people is appearance, for another one, clothes and other people pay attention to the beauty that lies inside. The beauty that is in everything, in a person's eyes, actions and words. It's just important to notice it and even better if the person is harmonious (?). But that doesn't happen so often.0 votedOctober 16, 20161Reading storybooks for kids
I read a storybook when I was talking with a language exchange partner on Skype.
I bought some storybooks when I was in New Zealand, but I haven't read them yet. After she read an old Japanese story called 'Kachi Kachi Yama', I showed her my bookshelf of storybooks. She asked me to read one of them, and I picked 'The Lion King' to read!
I was so excited to read it, but when I started, I realized that reading storybooks is much more difficult to read than conversations in textbooks! She was kind enough to help my reading when there were some words I couldn't read or didn't know the meaning of. I'd like to say thank you to her for giving me such a great opportunity to read!
I realized that storybooks give children a lot of vocabulary while they also enjoy reading them!0 votedOctober 16, 20162Mi color favorito es verde. A book review.
Mi color favorito es verte.
Why did I choose this book?
In Spain we have a very famous novel award call “Premios Planeta”. “Planeta " is the name of a famous publishing house and this book was the finalist last year.
What about the title?
I love this title. It's a pun because “verde” - meaning green in Spanish, and verte - to see you - have a very similar spelling in Spanish. I think it sounds really poetic.
The author.
She's a journalist, I know very little about her, in spite of her being very well known in my country. She takes part in some television programs as well as writing in a famous newspaper. She has written lots of novels before this one. I have to admit that this is the first time I've read her work, but it won´t be the last.
The book.
It´s supposed to be autobiographical, based on a love experience she had. Apart from the plot, which is very funny and the pace - the book is a real page-turner - it's the way she tells the story, full of personal details which surprises me the most. The story catches your attention from the very first moment because the plot is fresh, vivid and funny and she creates a mysterious atmosphere around her lover's disappearance.0 votedOctober 16, 20162Cartoons drawn by a Swede in Japanese
Today I had a day off and no plan. While surfing the net I found cartoons drawn by a Swedish person who lives in Japan. She draws her cartoons in Japanese on her blog about some of the culture differences between Japan and Sweden. The characters in her cartoons are very cute and the story is so interesting that I couldn't stop reading them.0 votedJuly 23, 20162東京日記（A diary of Tokyo)その1 (part 1)
Today, Pokemon Go was launched in Japan. In Nakameguro, Tokyo where I live lots of Pokemon trainers gathered and there were so many people hunting Pokemon while using a mobile phone all over town!
To be continued...
本日、ポケモンGo（の配信）が日本でも開始されました。私の暮らしている東京都は中目黒にもポケモントレーナーがたくさん集まり、町中のあちこちに携帯電話をぽちぽちしながらポケモンハントしている人の姿が見られました。

I tried writing a description of handkerchiefs produced by my friend.
Here the “Kyodai (Kyoto University)” handkerchiefs are newly put on sale!
Cute figures associated with Kyodai are embroidered on them: the symbolic clock tower, a unique student, etc. Will be a good souvenir for the students’ family or the students studying to enter Kyoto University.
Selections:
The clock tower / The camphor tree
Gorilla(The incumbent president of Kyoto University is the leading researcher on gorillas.
) / Mt. Daimonji
Ika-kyo (a “typical” kyodai student look) / the Fibonacci sequence
(The clock tower and the camphor tree in front of the main gate are the symbol of my university.)0 votedJuly 23, 20160A description of a new product:

Yesterday I took some books from the library and spent a little time sitting in the reading hall. There were a lot of magazines and one of them got my attention. I read an article about the time we waste. Being online all day, watching TV, playing computer games. It's bad for us. Look around: a lot of people suffer from weight problems, stress and health problems. Why? Because they spend less time learning how to live correctly. How to eat, sleep, exercise, think! I asked myself, what can I do to change all this? I read one quote "If you want to change the world, begin with yourself". After the library I sat on the bus and watched people there (I had my sunglasses on). Only one out of thirty people was reading a book. Everyone else was just listening to music. I consoled myself with the idea that they might be listening to audio books.All I want to say is: "People, be more attentive to yourselves, because life is short and we can live it being healthy, clever, productive" Don't look for a motivation. Be your own motivation.
