「かいものにいきましょう！」- “Let’s Go Shopping!”

「かいものにいきましょう！」 “Let’s Go Shopping!” Jasmin Chang きよこ「さちかさん、げんきですか。アラモアナにかいものにいきましょうか。」さちか「ちょっとぐあいがわるいです。でもかいものにいきましょう。なんじごろいきましょうか。」きよこ「さんじごろいきましょう。いまあめがふっています。だから、ははのくるまでいきましょう。」さちか「いいですねえ。」モールで。きよこ「いそがしいですねえ。」さちか「そうですね。なにをかいますか。」きよこ「わたしはこのコートをかいます。すずしいです。だから、このコートがすきです。」さちか「そうですか。コートはとてもきれいですねえ。たかいですか。」きよこ「いいえ、やすいです。さちかさんはなにをかいますか。」さちか「わかりません。」きよこ「このほんはどうですか。」さちか「でも、うちにたくさんほんがあります。これはなんですか。」てんいん「これはサングラスです。イタリーからきました。だからとてもたかいです。」さちか「そうですか。ゆうめいなデザインですか。いくらですか。」てんいん「はい、ゆうめいです。そしてひゃくドルにドルにじゅうごセントです。」きよこ「サングラスをかいますか。」さちか「いいえ、とてもたかいですよ。」きよこ「じゃあ、くつはどうですか。」

Kiyoko: Sachika, how are you? Shall we go shopping at Ala Moana? Sachika: I’m feeling a little ill, but let's go shopping. Around what time should we go? Kiyoko: Let's go around 3 o’clock. It’s raining now so let's go in my mom’s car. Sachika: Sounds good. At the mallKiyoko: It’s busy, isn’t it? Sachika: Yeah, it is. What do you want to buy? Kiyoko: I will buy a coat. It’s cool out, so I like coats. Sachika: Is that so? Coats are very pretty. Are they expensive? Kiyoko: No, they’re cheap. Sachika, what are you going to buy? Sachika: I don’t know. Kiyoko: What about this book? Sachika: But I have many books at home… What is this? Salesperson: These are sunglasses. They’re from Italy, so they are very expensive.

美保とボート Sam and a Boat Samantha Nixon 今年の夏休みに私は二週間カネオへのヨットクラブのクラスにさんかしました。クラスは毎日午後一時三十分から四時三十分まででした。ヨットのタイプは「420s」で私たちはときどきレースにかちました。でも、ヨットはよくよこにひっくりかえりました。たいてい私はジブの

This summer, I took a two-week sailing class. The class took place at the Kaneohe Yacht Club, from 1:30 to 4:30 every weekday. In the class, we learned how to sail, the parts of the boat, and we raced around the bay. Our boats were called 420s. I won some of the races, but I often lost from capsizing or turtling. I worked the jib of

the boat because it was too difficult to steer and work the sail at the same time. I let the more experienced person of our group steer. The most experienced sailor in the class was Dylan, who was 17 and had been sailing for many years. He was also the fastest to rig up his boat. Rigging the boat is pretty easy, as long as you know where everything goes. Many of the people I sailed with were very experienced. The only other girl in the class was named Kiana. She was two years younger than me and was very new to sailing. I usually sailed with Will, who was about 15. He knew exactly what to do in emergency situations. The boat only broke twice while were sailing. The first time was when the trapeze broke off. The second time was when the jib broke. Both times he knew how to fix it without having to go back to the dock. Sailing was really fun, and I can’t wait until I get to do it again.

下北沢でコンサート Concert at Shimokitazawa Michelle Chen 私は、毎年夏休みに日本の母の実家へ遊びに行きます。そして、東京に住んでいるおばあさんの家に泊まります。東京は、毎日やる事があるので、時間がたりないぐらいでした。日本に行った時は、山手線でいろいろな所へ行きます。昨年は、原宿や新宿、渋谷とか秋葉原に行きました。私は、東京の電車に乗るのが大好き

Every summer, I always visit my mother’s side of the family in Japan. Last summer, I stayed at my grandmother’s house in Tokyo and went to various places like Harajuku, Nikko, Karuizawa, Minobu, and almost every stop on the Yamanote Line! Riding on the train is my favorite thing to do in Tokyo because I love seeing people’s fashion sense and style. They wear crazy clothing and have

下北沢でコンサート - Concert at Shimokitazawa

です。いろいろな街の人のファッションや、見た事のないようなヘアスタイルを見て面白いと思いました。とくに秋葉原へ行って、メイドやアニメのキャラクターの服を着ている人を見た時は、おどろきました。ハワイとくらべると、日本の男性は女性とおなじぐらいおしゃれだと思いました。新宿で、大きな画面のテレビがビルの壁についているのを見た時は、ハイテクでモダンだと思いました。もう一つおどろいたのは、日本の電車はいつも時間どおり来る事です。ハワイのバスは、あまり時間どおりに来ません。いつも十五分ぐらいはおくれます。日本はとても規則正しい国だと思います。日本で一番楽しかったのは、私の従兄弟が下北沢でライブコンサートをした事です。彼女はかっこうよくて、音楽の才能が有ると思います。コンサートは地元の小さいライブハウスでやりました。下北沢は、若い人に人気の街です。ライブハウス、居酒屋、アンティックショップ、小劇場などで有名な所です。下北沢の街は、車が通れないほど細い道がたくさんあるので、歩いてまわるのにとても楽しい所です。私はたくさんの小さくて、かわいい洋服のお店を見つけました。とくに、とても欲しいサマードレスがありましたが、あまりお金を持っていなかったので、買えませんでした。でも街を歩いたり、お店を見て歩くだけでも十分楽しめました。下北沢の街を歩いた後、さいごに従兄弟のバンドが出総するライブハウスに行きました。私の従兄の名前はエリナで、バンドの名前は「モノクルヲシイ」です。モノクルヲシイの意味は｢気がへんになりそうなぐらいすてき｣と言う意味です。エリナは、芸術てきな物が好

wacky hairstyles; even the men are very stylish. I love Japan because everything is so high-tech, modern, and punctual. The trains arrive on schedule and not a minute late, unlike Hawaii’s bus system that arrives 15 minutes late and leaves much later than scheduled. Tokyo is one of those cities that you can never get tired of. There is always something going on, and you will feel like there is not enough time in the world to experience everything! The highlight of my summer was seeing my awesome and talented cousin’s concert at Shimokitazawa. The concert was held at a small local coffee house/bar. Shimokitazawa is very popular among young people. Its main attraction is the nightlife with cafés, small restaurants, bars, vintage shops, theater halls, secondhand record shops, and amateur concerts. The town has many narrow alleys that are not accessible for vehicles, so it allows people to explore the town on foot to get the real sense of adventure. While walking through the town, I went to many small clothing shops. I wanted everything inside the stores. Unfortunately, I had already spent my money, and I could not buy that cute summer dress I wanted in Shimokitazawa. But just walking in the streets and window-shopping was a real joy in itself. After looking around the streets of Shimokitazawa, I finally went inside a live music house to hear my cousin’s band play. My cousin’s name is Erina, and her band’s name is Monokurowoshi, which means crazy and ludicrous in Japanese. Erina loves all art forms, especially music. She loves to sing and compose music, and she is the lead singer in the band. The band’s style of music is Japanese modern folk, rock, and alternative, which has a nice mellow vibe to it. The band consists of a cello, guitar, and drums, and

きで、とくに音楽は大好きです。彼女は歌う事や、作曲をしたり、詩を書いたりする事が好きで、バンドではリードボーカルをしています。バンドの音楽のスタイルは、日本のモダンフォークとポップがまざった感じです。エリナはタンバリンやアコーディオンを弾き、ボーカルもして、ほかのメンバーはチェロ、ギター、ドラムを演奏します。エリナのバンドは、吉祥寺や八王子などの東京のいろいろな場所で演奏をしています。今は、あまり有名ではないアーティストですが、将来有名に成るためにいっしょうけんめい頑張っています。私は、彼女の一番のファンだから、いつも応援しています。

Erina plays the tambourine and accordion, as well as being the lead vocal. Erina’s band plays all over in Tokyo, at venues such as Kichijoji and Hachioji. She is only an amateur artist, but with little baby steps, she plans to make it big in music industry sometime in the future! Not to mention I am her number one fan!

渋谷と原宿で一日中買い物！ Shibuya and Harajuku Shopping Spree! Kirstie Maeshiro-Takiguchi This past summer my whole family went on a trip to Japan and Okinawa. We stayed in Shinagawa at a hotel called the Shinagawa Prince Hotel and took the train everywhere. On the first day, we went on a tour of the city and visited Tokyo Tower. The next day, while grandpa took my cousins to Tokyo Disneyland, my grandma and I went on a shopping spree in Harajuku and Shibuya. We left the hotel around 9:00 and took the Yamanotesen to Harajuku. We went to Takeshita dori, a popular street for shopping. The people who worked in stores in Harajuku wore Anime-like costumes. My favorite stores in Harajuku were Pet Paradise, Liz Lisa, and L. Chance. Pet Paradise sold cute outfits for dogs. My grandma and I both bought cute yukatas for our dogs, Harley and Momo. At Liz Lisa, I bought a skirt and a tea dress that I wore for my senior portraits. At L. Chance, I bought jewelry for myself and my friends. Before we left Harajuku, my grandma and I ate lunch at a pizza café. We took the Yamanotesen to Shibuya and went to a shopping center called Shibuya 109. Shibuya 109 is known as Japan’s center of

fashion. My favorite stores in Shibuya 109 were a deko-den shop and a clothing store called Mimily. Deko-den is decoration for your phone. I bought supplies and kits to decorate my phone at the deko-den shop. At Mimily, I bought a white jacket and top. My hands were filled with bags as I sat on the train heading back to our hotel.

あまり伝説的じゃないヒーロー(英雄)の旅 The Epic Journey of a Not So Epic Hero Jenna McCarter 昔、昔、ハイラルという国にリンクとタイという名前の兄弟がすんでいました。兄弟はすんでいる町から出たことがありませんが、夢がありました。リンクは世界を探検してハイラル城にゼルダ姫に会いに行きたかったです。でもタイは家で寝たいだけでした。ある朝、町長は兄弟にハイラルの城のゼルダ姫にパッケージを持っていくように言いました。怠慢な弟を家の外に出すいい考えだと思いリンクはとてもうれしかったです。「一時間湖に行きましょう。」リンクは言いました。家から一番遠い湖は十分くらいですから。「じゃあ、どうしてそんなに物を持っていますか。」

L o n g , long ago, in another country called Hyrule, there were two brothers named Link and Tie. They have never been out of their small town, but they had their own dreams they wished to accomplish. Link dreamed of exploring the world and wanted to visit the Hyrule Castle and meet Princess Zelda, but all Tie wanted to do was stay at home and sleep. One morning, the town mayor asked the brothers to go to Hyrule Castle to deliver a package to the Princess. Link was ecstatic, seeing it as a

あまり伝説的じゃないヒーロー(英雄)の旅 - The Epic Journey of a Not so Epic Hero

「ばけものがおそってくるかもしれないから。」「真面目？」タイはびっくりして、言いました。でも、湖に行く代わりに馬に乗った二人は島を通過してハイラル城にむかいました。タイがなぜまだ湖につかないのかを聞いた時リンクは迷子になったと言いました。タイは何かへんだと思いましたが、遠くに城を見た時もうもんくを言うのはおそすぎました。リンクがゼルダ姫に会っている間タイは通りをさんぽしました。町の中心で人が走っているので、タイは店で何のセールがあるのか知りたいと思いました。その時町の人が「ゼルダ姫がゆうかいされた！」とさけびました。「なぜぼくに言いましたか。ぼくは誘拐しなかった。」「でもあなたは時のヒーローでしょ？」何か言いわけをかんがえました。「この緑のぼうしをかぶって、緑のシャツを着ているからぼくは時のヒーローみたいです。でも時のヒーローの手にはトライフォースがあります。でもぼくは時のヒーローじゃない。いつも人はまちがえます。」タイはリンクが町中を歩いてタイをさがしている時、お姫さまをたすけに行かされました。リンクがタイの伝説の探求を知ったとき、タイは時の寺院にいました。何時間も前に行ったかもしれませんが、ほんとうに店でセールがあるのか知りたかったです。タイはかたなを持って寺に入りましたが、大きい蜘蛛とみにくい像じゃなくて、つぼとその中にお金を見つけました。タイがうしろの部屋に入った時、タイの後ろの戸は墜落して出口を封じてしまいました。そしてかげの中から大きい竜が口から火をはきながらおそってきました。

perfect opportunity to fulfill his dream and get his lazy brother out of the house. “We’re going to the lake for an hour,” Link told his brother, because the lake was only ten minutes away and that was the farthest Tie would go from their house. “Then why do we have all of this stuff?” “Because you never know when zombies will attack!” “You can’t be serious,” Tie replied, staring. However, instead of going to the lake, they rode on their horses straight past it and headed to Hyrule Castle. When Tie asked why they have not arrived at the lake yet, Link said that they must be lost. Tie knew something was wrong, but when he first saw the castle in the distance, it was too late to complain. When Link went up to meet the princess, Tie wandered around the streets, looking for something to do. In the town square, people were running about, making Tie wonder what kind of sale was going on. When he went to investigate, one of the townspeople ran up to him and exclaimed, “The Princess has been kidnapped!” “Why are you telling me this?” Tie replied, unfazed by the news. “I didn’t kidnap the Princess.” “But aren’t you the Legendary Hero of Time?” Tie paused, trying to come up with an excuse. “I may look like the Legendary Hero of Time because I am wearing this green hat and shirt, and even though only the Hero of Time has a Triforce on the back of his hand I am not him. It’s weird how people mix us up all the time.” Unfortunately for Tie and Link, they sent Tie off to rescue the princess while Link was left wondering where his brother went. By the time Link

「ヒーロー」というテレビ番組の終わりを知らないで死ぬと思った時、ゼルダ姫が現れて竜を負かしました。「ゼルダ姫、ぼくがあなたを助けるんじゃなかったんですか。」とタイは言いました。「わたしたちがみんな時のヒーローにはなれないわよ！」とゼルダは言いました。

found out about Tie’s legendary quest, Tie was already at the Temple of Time. He would have been there hours ago, but he wanted to know if there really was a sale going on. Tie entered the temple with this sword held out in front of him, but instead of coming across giant spiders and haunted statues, all he saw were a few vases with some money. Tie reached the last room with no problem. When he entered the room, the door behind him crashed shut, sealing off his only exit. Out of the corner, a large dragon flew out from the shadows, throwing fire into the air. Just when Tie thought he was going to die without knowing how Heroes will end, Princess Zelda appeared from nowhere and defeated the dragon. “Princess?” Tie asked, staring in confusion. “I thought I was supposed to save you!” “We can’t all be the Hero of Time,” Zelda said simply.

私の日本語の愛：バークレーの旅 My Love for Japanese: Adventures at Berkeley Chloe Honbo To me, Japanese is more than a language. Japanese is a hobby. Japanese is a persistent insatiable craving. Japanese is a part of me, and without it, I will never be whole. Without Japanese, I don’t know what I would do. This love for Japanese started when I was in seventh grade, when I heard my first Japanese song, “Sakura Sake” by Arashi. I fell in love with Arashi, Johnny’s Entertainment, and later the whole chaotic world of Japanese pop culture. From then on, I was encouraged by my conscience to study Japanese as much as I could. I bought character books from Hakubundo, a local Japanese store, and started to learn the basics. Teaching myself hiragana and katakana was, admittedly, slightly boring, especially for a tenyear-old whose mind was only on video games and running around outside, enjoying the freedom of life without homework. However, when I began to get to the grammar portion of Japanese, my interest was piqued. With every new grammar point that my eyes scanned and my brain processed, I became more and more intrigued. Last summer, in June 2009, I decided to undertake my Japanese to a much more formal

私には日本語は言葉以上です。日本語は趣味です。日本語はしつこくて飽くなき熱望です。日本語は私の一部分だから、日本語がなければ、私は不完全です。日本語がなければ、私はどうなるか分かりません。中学一年生だった時、この日本語の愛は始まりました。一番始めの日本語の歌は嵐の「サクラ咲け」でした。嵐とジャニーズと全部のめちゃくちゃな日本のポップ文化に恋をしました。その時から、日本語を好きなだけ勉強するために、の「はくぶんどう」という日本の店から、たくさん練習帳を買って、始めから習い始めました。とくにビデオゲームをして、外で遊んで、宿題がない時人生の自由を楽しむことだけ考える十歳の子供には、ひらがなとカタカナを自分で習うのはちょっとつまらなかったと思いました。それでも、日本語の文法を習い始めてから、興味を持つようになりました。一つづつの日本語を習うと、興味がわいてきました。２００９年の夏休みの六月に、バークレーのカリフォルニア大学で日本語を勉強することにし

私の日本語の愛：バークレーの旅 - My Love for Japanese: Adventures at Berkeley

ました。初心者の授業から始めました。でも、七年以上日本語を取ったから、期待はずれでしたが、バークレーの外国語の学部は有名ですから、ゆっくり勉強する方がいいと思いました。バークレーで始めの日に私はとても神経質でした。私はバークレー大学二と三と四年生のクラスで高校生の一人でした。（当然、生物学とか化学とかコンピューター・サイエンスを専攻している学生の皆さんは天才です。ですけど、クラスメートは中国人と韓国人だとふざけて言いました。）クラスの開始を待っている時、前に座って東方神起のTシャツを着ている女の子に気がつきました。心の中で笑いながら、外見上は隣に座って、東方神起の中で一番好きな人はだれだか聞きました。その子はビックリしたけど、照れくさく笑って、答えて、私にその質問を聞きました。私にわからないように、チャンちゃんというあだ名のと友達になりました。後でチャンちゃんもオークランドの同じ駅からバートで学校に行くのを知って、その日から一緒にバークレーに行きました。八時七分にオークランドを出て、八時半に教室に着いて、クラスが始まる九時までおしゃべりて、十二時にクラスは終わりました。私達は学期の始めから終わりまで毎週、五日勉強しました。授業の二週間目にセクションを均等に配るために日本語１Aの三セックションをごちゃ混ぜにしました。最後にそれぞれのセクションには十五人いました。残念だけどチャンちゃんと同じセクションじゃありませんでした。クラスで「何をするのが好きですか。」を練習している時、新しい友達を見つけました。席が二つ離れた所に座っている男の子は「アニメとビデオゲームをするのが好きです。」と答えた時、興味がわいてきました。休み時間に、その男の子にどんなアニメを見て、どんなビデオゲームを

Japanese learning experience, at University of California, Berkeley. I started in the beginner’s class, Japanese 1A (which was slightly disappointing because I had taken Japanese for more than seven years), but Berkeley is known for its advanced Foreign Language program, and I figured I should take things step by step, one at a time. On my first day at Berkeley, I was unbelievably nervous. I was the only high school student among rising sophomores, juniors, and seniors, most of whom attended Berkeley. (Naturally, they were all geniuses; most of them were majoring in Biology, Chemistry, or Computer Science – then again, most of my classmates were Chinese and Korean, as we all jokingly said in class.) As I was waiting for class to start, I noticed a girl sitting in front of me wearing a Dong Bang Shin Ki Tshirt. Inwardly, I laughed, and outwardly, I moved up to sit next to her and asked whom she liked most in the band. She looked shocked for a moment, but then laughed embarrassingly and answered my question, and she reciprocated it. Unknowingly, I had made my first friend, Vanessa (whom I dubbed “Chanchan”). Later, I discovered that we both took BART to school from the same station in Oakland, and from that day on, we both commuted to Berkeley together. We left Oakland at 8:07 in the morning, arrived at class at around 8:30, and talked until 9 when class started, and ended at noon. We did this everyday, five days a week, from the start to the end of the summer session. About a week in to class, the three sections of Japanese 1A were mixed and moved in order to even out the classes, to about fifteen people in each section. Chan-chan was, unfortunately, moved to a different section, but I found a new friend through a class exercise – what objects we liked and found interesting. When a guy sitting two seats away answered, “Anime and video games,” my interest was piqued. During

私の日本語の愛：バークレーの旅 - My Love for Japanese: Adventures at Berkeley

しているかと聞いたら、「キースくん」は無名なのに人気がある「天元突破グレンラガン」と答えました。ますますキースくんと話しするようになって、休み時間に一緒に勉強して、試験の後で一緒にキャンパスの中を歩きました。そのうちに他のセクションを取っているキースくんの友達の「せんぱい」と「エドくん」と「しゅうじ」に会って、授業の後で一緒に昼ご飯を食べました。他の友達の「ジェーくん」にも会って、J１００を取っているから、カジュアルに会話できました。新しい友達とバークレーの生活を習えました。キースくんとエドくんとせんぱいはコンピューター・サイエンスと日本語を専攻して、しゅうじは経済学を専攻して、ジェーくんは化学を専攻していました。昼ご飯の後で、キースくんとエドくんと私は帰って、せんぱいはアルバイトに行って、しゅうじとジェーくんは次のクラスに行きました。この過程は続いて、この前の日より楽しかったです。あの日、キースくんとエドくんは二時のコンピューター・サイエンセス７０Bのラボがあると言いました。コンピューター・サイエンスにいつも興味があって、それはバークレーのCSのクラスの方を見るチャンスでした。学生はハンドアウトをもらって、クラスの終わりに大事なパズルのプロジェクトを完成しなければならないラボは自分で勉強するクラスでした。キースくんとエドくんが相手で、私は二人の間に座って、画面を見て、コードとJavaScriptをちょっと解読してみたかったです。エドくんは日本語のAP試験を受けて、キースくんはもう三年以上日本語を取ったから、私達の三人は日本語の文法をあまり勉強しなくてもよかったです。ですから、プ

break, I asked him what he types of anime he watched and what video games he played, to which “Kiisu” answered, “Gurren Lagaan,” one of the more obscure, yet still popular anime. We talked more and ended up studying together during breaks and hanging out after tests. Eventually, I met his friends, “Senpai,” “Edo,” and “Shuuji” who were also taking the class in a different section, and we all ate lunch together right after class. I also met another one of their friends, “Jae-kun,” who was in J100, so I was able to casually converse with him in Japanese. As we all talked, I was able to find out more about them and life at Berkeley. Kiisu, Edo, and Senpai are all majoring in Computer Science with a minor in Japanese; Shuuji is majoring in Economics, and Jae-kun is majoring in Chemistry – Ecology. At the end of our lunch adventure, Kiisu, Edo, and I went home, Senpai went to his part-time job, while Shuuji and Jae-kun went to another class. This process continued, and each day was better than the last. One day, Kiisu and Edo said that they had a lab that started at 2, Computer Science 70B. Computer Science has always interested me, and this was a chance to see what a CS class at Berkeley was really like. The lab was independent; the students were given handouts and had a huge puzzle project to complete by the end of the session. Kiisu and Edo were partners, and I sat between them looking at their screens, trying to decipher code and JavaScript (I was slightly successful. Slightly.). The three of us didn’t really need to study for Japanese because Edo had

私の日本語の愛：バークレーの旅 - My Love for Japanese: Adventures at Berkeley

taken the Japanese AP exam and Kiisu had already taken over three years of Japanese, so we practiced speaking it when they weren’t working on their project. Eventually, the end of the session came. After ten weeks of class five days a week for three hours each day, we all celebrated with large sighs and congratulatory words. It was my last day at Berkeley, and possibly my last day seeing any of my friends ever again. At that thought, my eyes began to water, and the tears started to fall. I hugged almost everyone in the Japanese 1A class, mumbling thanks, smiling, and laughing through blurry vision and sniffles. Friends and classmates comforted me as they said that they would see me soon when I come to Berkeley next year (to which I responded, “if I get in.”) Their confidence in me was encouraging, tear jerking, and touching. At Berkeley, I not only learned more Japanese, but also made new friendships and had an overall amazing experience – possibly one of the best in my life.

ロジェクトをしない時、会話の練習をしました。そのうちに学期の終わりが来ました。十週間毎週五日の一日三時間のクラスの後で私達は安堵にため息をついて、お祝いの言葉で祝しました。その日は私のバークレーで最後の日で、多分もう一度友達に会える最後の日でした。それを考えていると涙があふれました。日本語１A の授業の皆さんを抱きしめながら、笑顔でありがとうと言って、笑いました。友達とクラスメートは慰めてくれながら、来年バークレーに来た時、きっと会えるよねと言いました（私は「入れたら」と返事しました）。バークレーはいい経験だから、大学に受け入れられて、いかれるようになるのは最重要事項です。バークレーで日本語をもっと習って、新しい友情を作って、人生でおそらく一番いい経験でした。

Cuando la tribu de cazadores violentos mató a muchas personas, Jaguar Paw escondió a su esposa y a su niño en un hoyo, y entonces ayudó a sus amigos que lucharon con los personas de la tribu violenta. Desafortunadamente, la tribu violenta capturó a Jaguar Paw y a sus amigos fuertes, dejando a la mujer y al niño de Jaguar Paw en el hoyo. La tribu violenta se llevó a los prisioneros a su villa para ser sacrificados, pero después de un e c l i p s e s o l a r, l o s sacrificios pararon. La tribu les dio la oportunidad de escapar, pero sólo si ellos podían dejar atrás a los guerreros. En este juego, Jaguar Paw mató al hijo de general, provocando que el general iniciara la persecución de Jaguar Paw para matarlo. El general y sus guerreros persiguieron a Jaguar Paw por el bosque cerca de su casa y allí, Jaguar Paw luchó y mató al general y a sus guerreros. Después de matarlos, Jaguar Paw rescató a su mujer y niño, pero en camino a su nueva casa, ellos vieron a los conquistadores que desembarcaban de sus barcos.

Apocalypto is a movie about the Mayans. In this movie, a Mayan tribe attacks other tribes and captures their strong men for human sacrifices. In one tribe is the protagonist, Jaguar Paw. When the violent tribe began to kill many people, Jaguar Paw hid his wife and son in a pit, and helped his friends who were fighting and struggling against the violent tribe. Unfortunately, the violent tribe captured Jaguar Paw and his friends, leaving his wife and child in the pit. Then the tribe took the captured men into their village to be used as human sacrifices but stopped after they received a sign, a solar eclipse, from God. The violent tribe then gave their hostages an opportunity to escape, but only if they could outrun their warriors. In this game, Jaguar Paw inadvertently killed the son of the general, causing the general to initiate a pursuit of Jaguar Paw. Angry, the general and his warriors pursued Jaguar Paw to the forest near his house where Jaguar Paw fought and killed the general and his warriors. After he killed them, Jaguar Paw rescued his wife and son, and together, they left to find a new home. On the way, they see European explorers disembarking from their ships.

Comida: Molé- Food: Molé | Sonia Sotomayor - Sonia Sotomayor

Comida: Molé Food: Molé Kaelynn Miller-Savoy El Mole es muy representativo de la comida mexicana. El origen está perdido en la leyenda en las cocinas de los conventos en Puebla. La palabra “mole” se asocia a muchos platos mexicanos. Su origen es Nahuatl y viene de la palabra molli o mulli. Su significado original se asocial a una salsa hecha después de moler chiles y añadir líquido. El pollo o el pavo es la carne tradicional pero el mole se sirve con variedad de carne como cerdo y cabra. Hay muchas clases diferentes de mole. Fuera de México, se asocial a una salsa conocida en español como mole poblano. El Mole se come en ocasiones como bodas, cumpleaños, baptismos, primeras comuniones, quinceañeras y otros grandes eventos. En el Día de los Muertos, el mole se ofrece a los muertos.

Mole is a very representative dish of Mexican food. The origin is lost in legend about the kitchens of convents of the colonial Puebla. The word “mole” refers to several Mexican dishes. It is of Nahuatl origin and comes from the word molli or mulli. Its original meaning refers to any sauce made after grinding chilies and adding liquid. Chicken and turkey are the traditional meats, but el mole is also served with a variety of meat such as pork or goat. There are now many different kinds of mole. Outside of Mexico, it often refers to a specific sauce which is known in Spanish as mole poblano. Mole is popularly eaten on festive occasions such as weddings, birthdays, baptisms, first communions, quinceañeras, or any other large event. During Día de los Muertos (Day of the Death) Mole is offered to dead loved ones.

Entrevista con el Señor Wade Interview with Mr. Wade Liliana Carbone ¿Cuál fue su primera impresión de Hawai?

What was your first impression of La Pietra?

Mi primera impresión de Hawai fue que las estudiantes eran muy buenas. Las clases son pequeñas y dan más oportunidad para conocer y ayudar a los estudiantes. Con clases pequeñas es más fácil para las chicas pasar la clase. Y sin duda, es una escuela Hermosa.

My first impression of La Pietra was that the students spoke very well, and explained themselves quite clearly. I found that the classes are very small which give you the advantage of being able to be more one on one with the students. You get to know them much better. It is also harder for the students to fall behind. And, of course, the campus is gorgeous.

¿Por qué quiso ser maestro? ¿Por qué matemáticas?

Why did you want to become a teacher? Why Math?

Yo quise ser maestro porque yo pienso que es un trabajo importante porque te da la oportunidad de cambiar la vida de una e s t u d i a n t e . Yo q u i s e s e r m a e s t r o d e matemáticas porque pienso que hay muchas estudiantes a las que no les gusta. Quiero demostrarles que la matemática es como todas

I wanted to become a teacher because I feel it is a very important job. It allows you to possibly make a difference in a student’s life. And besides, I like explaining things.

las otras materias si prestas atención y eres determinada. Y me gusta explicar cosas.

I wanted to teach math because I know that many students dislike it. I wanted to show them that math is just like any other subject; it just requires focus and confidence. I wanted to show them how to use it in real life.

¿A qué Universidad asistió Ud. ? Yo fui a Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee.

C r e c í e n Te x a s y Luisiana.

What do you like about about La Pietra?

¿Cómo son Texas y Luisiana? ¿ Y Hawai?

The students, my collegues and getting the chance to live in Hawaii.

Texas y Luisiana son estados muy húmedos. La gente es simpática, pero un poco conservativa. Hay mucho espacio, mientras que Hawai es muy pequeño y no hay espacio como allí.

Where are you from? I grew up in Louisiana and Texas. What are Louisiana and Texas like? Are they like Hawaii?

¿Le gusta vivir en Hawai?

They are both very humid places. The people there are friendly, but also conservative. There is much open space over there, but there is less here because it’s so small.

Lo amo. El clima es siempre perfecto, las personas son muy simpáticas. Es un lugar estupendo.

How do you like living in Hawaii?

¿Por qué se mudó Usted a Hawai?

I love it. The weather is incredible, there are a lot of nice people, and it is just beautiful outdoors. It’s paradise.

Why did you move to Hawaii? Well, I wanted to try something different. I really love the outdoors so Hawaii seemed perfect.

Mis Vacaciones - My Vacations

Mis Vacaciones My Vacation Alana Freitas No he ido a muchos lugares en mi vida. He viajado a la Isla Grande, Maui, Kauai, Disneylandia, San Francisco y Seattle. He tenido buenas experiencias en cada viaje. Fui a la Isla Grande en el cuarto grado, cuando estuve aprendiendo acerca de la cultura hawaiana. Tuve que permanecer en un dormitorio con mis amigas y mi mamá y fue muy divertido. Fuimos de excursión a las playas y comimos comida deliciosa. Me fui de nuevo con mi familia y más tarde viajamos a Pu'uhonua O Honaunau, un lugar sagrado de culto y sacrificio. He viajado a Maui muchas veces en mi vida, ya que parte de mi familia vivía allí. Mi familia y yo visitamos todos los años y nos quedamos en su casa. Fuimos a Lavander Farms y The Surfing Goat Dairy. Me divertí mucho con mi primo, tía y tío. Hicimos mucha comida, nos quedamos hasta tarde viendo películas, recogimos fruta fresca, y fuimos de compras a Lahaina. Cuando fui a Kauai, fui con mi familia y alquilamos un apartamento. Era muy grande y estaba al lado de una piscina grande. A veces nos despertabamos temprano por la mañana y caminábamos y luego nadábamos. Cuando fui a Disneylandia, yo tenía unos seis años de edad. Fui con mis abuelos, padres y hermana. Compré un libro para

I have not gone to many places in my life. I have traveled to the Big Island, Maui, Kauai, Disneyland, San Francisco, and Seattle. I have had good experiences on each trip. I went to the Big Island in 4th grade when I was learning about the Hawaiian culture. I got to stay in a dorm with my friends and my mom, and it was a lot of fun. We went on hikes, went to beaches, and ate delicious food. I went again with my family later and we traveled to Pu’uonua o Hanounou, a sacred sacrificing and worshiping place. I have traveled to Maui many times in my life since part of my family used to live there. My family and I visited there every year and stayed at their house. We went to the Lavender Farms and The Surfing Goat Dairy. I had a lot of fun with my cousin, aunty and uncle. We made a lot of food, stayed up late watching movies, picked fresh fruit, and went shopping in Lahaina. When I went to Kauai, I went with my family and we rented an apartment house. It was a really big house next to a big pool. Sometimes we woke up early in the morning and went walking and swimming.

Mis Vacaciones - My Vacations

When I went to Disneyland, I was about six years old. I went with my grandparents, parents, and sister. I bought an autograph book and got autographs from all the Disney characters such as Cinderella, Simba, Pooh, and even Ariel the Mermaid. We also went to Legoland and saw a performance of a princess being rescued from a dragon. One of my most recent trips was to San Francisco. I went with my parents and sister. We went to Muir Woods, stayed at the Silver Cloud Inn, rode cable cars, visited the wax museum, and the Ghirardelli Chocolate Factory. It was really cold there so I had to wear a lot of clothes! We also went shopping a lot, which wasn’t my dad’s favorite thing to do. We went to the Aquarium of the Bay and Fisherman’s Wharf. We also visited the zoo and went to two museums: Ripley’s Believe It or Not and the Exploratorium. At the Exploratorium, my dad and I went into a dark tunnel where we had to use our senses to guide us out and down the slide. Of course we also went to the Golden Gate Bridge, the main attraction of San Francisco. My most recent trip was to Seattle, Washington. It was even colder there! We went walking around in Pike’s Place, which featured a cheese factory, many delicious delis, a special golden pig, and men throwing fish at each other. We also went to the aquarium and the first Starbucks. We went to the science museum, which included a butterfly house that you could walk through. Of course we went to other tourist attractions such as a sculpture park and the zoo but the coolest part of the trip was going to Bainbridge Island. We took a ferry there and saw the mountains on the island. When we reached the island, we had pizza and ice cream, and then walked around to the other shops. We also went kayaking in a river, which was a lot of fun. We saw many animals…even a deer! So even though I’ve only traveled to one country and three states, it’s the quality that counts… not the quantity.

autógrafos y conseguí autógrafos de todos los personajes de Disney como La Cenicienta, Simba, Pooh, e incluso Ariel la sirenita. También fuimos a Legoland y vi una actuación de una princesa que era rescatada de un dragón. Uno de mis viajes más recientes fue a San Francisco. Fui con mis padres y hermana. Fuimos a Muir Woods, nos quedamos en el mesón de Silver Cloud, paseamos en teleféricos, visitamos el museo de cera y la Fábrica de Chocolate Ghirardelli. Hacía mucho frío, así que tuve que usar bastante ropa! También fuimos de compras, una cosa que no era la favorita de mi papá. Fuimos al Acuario de la Bahía y Fisherman's Wharf. También visitamos el zoológico y fuimos a dos museos: Ripley's Believe It or Not, y el Exploratorium. En el Exploratorium, mi papá y yo entramos en un túnel oscuro y tuvimos que usar nuestros sentidos para guiarnos hacia fuera y hacia abajo de la diapositiva. Por supuesto, también fuimos al puente Golden Gate, el principal atractivo de San Francisco. Mi viaje más reciente fue a Seattle, Washington. Hacía más frío allí! Nos fuimos caminando en Pike Place, que tenía una fábrica de queso, muchas tiendas de cosas deliciosas, un cerdo de oro especial y hombres lanzándose peces. También fuimos al acuario y al primer Starbucks. Fuimos al museo de la ciencia, que incluía una casa de mariposas dónde se podía caminar. Por supuesto fuimos a otras atracciones turísticas como el parque de esculturas y el zoológico, pero la parte más chévere del viaje fue ir a Bainbridge Island. Tomamos un ferry de allí y vimos las montañas de la isla. Cuando llegamos a la isla, comimos pizza y helado y luego caminamos a otras tiendas. También fuimos en kayak por el río, algo que fue muy divertido. Vimos muchos animales .... Incluso un ciervo! Así que, aunque sólo he viajado en un país y tres estados, es la calidad lo que cuenta ... no la cantidad.

Si j’étais Jeanne d’Arc aujourd’hui - If I Was Joan of Arc Today Les Vacances de Mes Rêves -‐ The Vacation of My Dreams

Si j’étais Jeanne d’Arc Aujourd’hui If I Were Joan of Arc Today Kiana Hieda Un jour, Madeleine se réveille parce qu’elle entend des voix qui lui disent d’aider les gens sur la Terre. Ils disent: «La température du noyau de la Terre s’élève à cause de l’extrême réchauffement de l’atmosphère. La croûte de la Terre brisera bientôt et tous les humains mourront, et les survivants mourront sans aucun doute dans les tsunamis immenses qui suivent.» Bien sûr, Madeleine est effrayée et elle ignore les voix, mais les voix continuent. Le lendemain, elle voit une grande fissure sur son chemin privé.« Oh mon dieu ! », elle dit, « Les voix sont correctes! Le monde s’achève ! » Ainsi, elle bâtit une arche… oui, elle a parlé aux animaux au cours d’une journée et quelques animaux ne l'ont pas cru. Elle prépare l'arche avec un assortiment de nourriture et de vêtements, et finalement, la Terre se secoue avec fureur. « Oh non! » Madeleine s'exclame, «J’ai oublié de construire un toit! »

One day, Madeleine wakes up because she hears voices telling her to help the people on Earth. T h e y s a y, " T h e temperature of the Earth's core is increasing due to the extreme warming of the atmosphere. The Earth's crust will soon break, all humans will die, and the survivors will undoubtedly die in the following immense tsunamis." Of course Madeleine is afraid, and she ignores the voices, but the voices continue. The next day, she sees a big fissure in her driveway. "Oh my god!" she said, "The voices are right! The world is ending!" Therefore, she builds an ark for all animals and all people who believe her... yes, she talked to all the animals in one day and some of them didn't believe her. She prepares the ark with an assortment of food and clothes, and finally, the Earth shakes with fury. "Oh no!" Madeleine cries, "I forgot to build a roof!"

When I reach the land of the unknown, I walk the long, warm sanded island, until I come across a party, where the music is never turned down. It is a tiring week that cannot be beaten, but now it is time to awaken from my deep, deep sleep.

Je voyage en bateau sur les mers, jour et nuit, tandis que j’écris ce poème illuminé par une bougie.

Alexandra Hastings J'aime beaucoup être dans les montagnes et dans la forêt, donc je voudrais aller au Canada. Je voudrais aussi visiter mes grands-parents pendant mon sejour là-bas. Que faire d’autre au Canada ? Les lundis, ma soeur dit, elle va faire de la planche à voile; peutêtre je peux aussi faire de la planche à voile. Mon papa me demande toujours pourquoi je veux tellement aller au Canada. Je veux y aller parce que tous mes amis me disent combien c’est génial là-bas et je suis la seule qui n'a jamais été au Canada.

I like to be in the mountains and in the forest a lot, therefore I would like to go to Canada. I would also like to visit my grandparents while I am there. What else can I do in Canada? On Mondays, my sister says, she goes windsurfing; maybe I can go windsurfing too. My dad always asks me why I want to go to Canada so badly. I want to go there because all my friends tell me how great it is, and I am the only one who has not yet gone to Canada.

La Planète de Comédie - The Laughing Planet | Un Mauvais Rêve -‐ A Bad Dream

La Planète de Comédie The Laughing Planet Shayla Hixson Comme planète suivante, le Petit Prince se trouve sur la planète de comédie. C’est une très petite planète. Tout le temps et à toutes heures, un homme marche partout sur cette planète. Quand le Petit Prince arrive, l’homme le regarde en riant. Le Petit Prince ne comprend pas du tout. Il demande: “Pourquoi est-ce que tu ris tout le temps?” L’homme répond que rire est bon pour la santé. Il dit, “Pourquoi veuxtu être heureux?” Le Petit Prince comprend bien cet homme. Il ne veut plus quitter la planète, mais le rire de l’homme devient très ennuyeux pour le Petit Prince. Il lui dit au revoir et saute jusqu’à la planète suivante.

Traveling around the planets, the little Prince finds the laughing planet. It is a very small planet. Every hour, a man walks everywhere on the planet. When the little Prince arrives, the man sees him and starts laughing. The little Prince does not understand why. He asks, “Why do you laugh all the time?” The man responds that laughing is good for your heart. He asks, “Why would you be sad if you could be happy?” The little Prince understands what the man says. He does not want to leave the planet, but the man’s laugh is very irritating to the little Prince. He says goodbye and jumps to the next planet.

Un Mauvais Rêve A Bad Dream Allia Alliata Une nuit de vent, vendredi soir, c’était la pleine lune lorsque Bianca est rentrée de son cours de tennis. Elle était épuisée et est allée directement au lit. Soudainement, elle a entendu un grand bruit devant sa fenêtre. Elle s’est réveillée et a regardé dehors, mais rien n'était là. Alors, elle s’est recouchée, mais du coin de son œil, elle a vu quelqu'un à l'extérieur. Elle a eu très peur, elle a attrapé sa raquette de tennis et a couru vers l'extérieur pour voir qui

On a late windy Friday night, there was a full moon when Bianca came home from tennis practice. She was exhausted and went straight to bed. Suddenly she heard a loud bang from her window. She woke up and looked out, but nothing was there, so she went back to bed, but from the corner of her eye she saw someone outside. She was so scared she grabbed her tennis racket and ran outside to see who was there. When she got to the window, there was nothing there but plants.

Julie et Christophe - Julie and Christopher

Bianca realized that the shadow she thought was a person was actually a plant, and the noise was the plant hitting the window. Bianca was so relieved she went back to bed. Then she saw the shadow again, but this one was different from the first one - it looked like a big moving ball. The door then slammed and Bianca started to feel something cold in her bed. Suddenly, her legs got numb and she could not move. She lifted her covers to see what it was. It was thousands of ants crawling up her legs. In a matter of seconds, they were covering her whole body. Just as they were about to go into her mouth, she woke up screaming and her bed sheets were soaked with sweat. It was just a bad dream.

était là. Quand elle est arrivée à la fenêtre, il n'y avait rien, seulement les plantes. Bianca s'est rendue compte que l'ombre qu'elle croyait être une personne était une plante, et le bruit était qu’elle frappait contre la fenêtre. Bianca était tellement soulagée qu’elle est retournée se coucher. Puis elle a vu l'ombre à nouveau, mais elleci était différente de la première fois, elle ressemblait à une grosse boule en mouvement. Alors la porte a claqué et Bianca a commencé à sentir quelque chose de froid dans son lit. Tout à coup, ses jambes se sont engourdies et elle ne pouvait pas bouger. Elle a levé les draps pour voir ce que c'était, et c’était des milliers de fourmis grimpant ses jambes. En quelques secondes, elles couvraient tout son corps. Lorsqu’elles elles étaient sur le point de rentrer dans sa bouche, elle s'est réveillée en hurlant et elle était trempée de sueur. C'était juste un mauvais rêve.

Julie et Christophe Julie and Christophe Sarah Aref Julie: I must tell you about the guy I love. His name is Christophe. He is very, very, very cute. I cannot describe to you how fantastic he is. I go with him everywhere: to the beach, to the movies, and to the mall. We are going to get married soon. I love him a lot. I can hear his words now: “I love you. I love you.” Ah… Julie and Christophe. Together for eternity. Christophe? Wait! Wait!!!

Julie: Je dois vous parler de l’homme que j’adore. Il s’appelle Christophe. Il est très, très, très mignon. Je ne peux pas décrire combien il est fantastique. Je vais partout avec lui . À la plage, au cinéma, et au centre commercial. Nous allons bientôt nous marier. Je l’aime beaucoup. Je peux entendre ses mots maintenant : « Je t’aime. Je t’aime. » Ah… Julie et Christophe. Ensemble pour l’éternité. Christophe ? Attends ! Attends !!!

Nicolas et Le Poisson - Nicolas and the Fish

Christophe: Help me! HELP ME!!! There is a crazy girl. I think her name is Julie. She follows me. When I am at the beach, she is at the beach. When I am at the movies, she is at the movies. And when I am at the mall, she is at the mall. She loves me, I think, but I don’t know why. We have never met. I said, “I love you. I love you,” when I was speaking to my fiancée, Lucy, but I think that Julie thinks that I said, “I love you. I love you,” to her. Help me! What am I going to do now? Oh my God, it’s Julie! AHH!!!

Christophe: Aidez-moi! AIDEZ-MOI! Il y a une fille qui est folle. Je pense qu’elle s’appelle Julie. Elle me suit. Quand je suis à la plage, elle est à la plage. Quand je suis au cinéma, elle est au cinéma. Et quand je suis au centre commercial, elle est aussi au centre commercial. Elle m’aime, je pense, mais je ne sais pas pourquoi. Nous ne nous sommes jamais rencontrés. J’ai dit, « Je l’aime. Je l’aime” quand je parlais de ma fiancée, Lucy. Mais je pense que Julie pense que j’ai dit, « Je t’aime. Je t’aime. » Aidez-moi ! Qu’est-ce que je fais maintenant ? Oh mon Dieu, c’est Julie ! AHH!!!

Nicolas et Le Poisson Nicolas and the Fish Shayla Hixson Nicolas est allé à la plage avec sa classe. Il aimait beaucoup la plage. Il aimait nager dans l’eau et il aimait regarder les poissons. Nicolas a trouvé un poisson qui allait mourir. Il a demandé à des garcons et des filles de l’aider, mais personne n’a voulu l’aider. Il a essayé d’attraper le poisson, mais le poisson s’echappait toujours. Il a trouvé un seau et il a mis le seau sur le poisson. Il a attrapé le poisson et l’a remis dans l’eau. Nicolas a sauvé le poisson!

Nicolas went to the beach with his class. He really liked the beach. He liked to swim in the water and he liked to look at the fishes. N i c o l a s found a fish on the sand, but he wanted to put it back into the water. If he did not put the fish back into the water, the fish would die. He asked the boys and the girls in his class to help him, but no one wanted to help. He tried to catch the fish but the f i s h w o u l d a l w a y s escape. He then found a bucket so he put the bucket on the fish. He caught the fish and put it back into the water. Nicolas saved the fish after all!

La Déesse Dorée The Golden Goddess Sonyah Seiden Je me penche sur tous Donnant de la chaleur. Donnant de la lumière. Donnant de l’amour. Du rouge au vert à indigo au violet Je les ai tous. Le monde m’aime. Moi, le soleil. La Déesse Dorée.

I stand over all Giving warmth. Giving light. Giving love. From red to green to indigo and violet, I have them all. The world loves me. Me, the sun. The Golden Goddess.
