There are a lot of fast food store. So I investigated a English site. This time I see the McDonald’s site. Why I see the site that there are a lot of McDonald’s stores all over the world. I like McDonald’s very much.

I saw a McDonald’s site in English. It is very easy to see site. But I was different for me to read this site, because It was written in English. I could not read difficult English then, but there were a lot of pictures. Somehow I can understand this site.

American McDonald’s site is more splendid than Japanese McDonald’s site. Japanese McDonald’s site is very plain. I do not think interesting. History was written in American McDonald’s site. I was very surprised when I saw history, beacause McDonald’s could not eat inside in the past. Only drive through. It was not convenient. Then American McDonald’s menu is very various and big. Specially drink is very large and very big hamburger. I can’t eat that hamburger.

McDonald’s buildings are very humorous. There is a student rate. It is very joyful for me. I want to go American McDonald’s, or more I want to go America.

I introduce McDonald’s history. Dick and Mac McDonald open McDonald’s Bar-B-Que restaurant on. Fourteenth and E streets in San. Bernardino, California. It is typical drive-in featuring a large menu and car hop service. Dick and Mac McDonald shut down their restaurant for three months for alterations. In December it reopens as a self-service drive in restaurant. In 1955, Kroc opens hits first McDonald’s in Des Plaines. The attention getting red and white tiled building with the Golden Arches.

In 1961, Hamburger University opens in the basement of the Elk Grove Village, lllinois, McDonald’s restaurant. Graduates receive Bachelor of Hamburgerology degrees. I don’t understand that Hamburger university. In 1975, The egg McMuffin, created by owner/operator Herb Peterson of Santa Barbara, California is added to the national menu. There are McMuffin in Japan too. I like the best of all. The Big Mac, developed by Owner/Operator Jim Delligatti of Pittsburgh, is added to the national menu in 1968. The first Ronald McDonald House opens in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

In 1973, Fred Hill, a football player with the Philadelphia Eagles, had the need for such a facility at Children’s Hospital in Philadelphia, where his child was being treated for leukemia. Hill’s dilemma led to the first Ronald McDonald House. There are many and deep history. We had lived with McDonald’s since antiquity.

Esasy 1-03a-b Liro and Stitch

Lilo and Stitch is a Disney Animation film. It was written by Walt Disney.

One day, a crazy alien scientist named Mr. Jumba Jookida made Number 626. Number 626 looked cute blue koala, but he was dangerous creature. That’s why Mr. Jumba was arrested, and 626 was nearly broken by other aliens, but he managed to escape and went to the earth. The place it arrived was Hawaii. The Grand Councilwoman, was the leader of the fictional United Galactic, asked Jumba and Agent Pleakley to chase after him. They also went to the earth.

Lilo was a little girl who lives with her sister Nani in Hawaii. They did not have parents because their parents died in a car accident. Lilo went to a dance school, but there she often had a run-in with other girls. That’s why Lilo did not have any friends, so she always felt alone. Nani was her older sister and took care of Lilo, but she did not have any job and keep their living condition good, so social worker Cobra Bubbles visited their house. He told Nani that he would take Lilo into a foster care if she couldn't improve her problems within 3 days. After that, Lilo wanted to have a nice friend, so they went to an animal shelter to get a dog.

The next day, David took them to a beach. They were enjoying surfing there. When they did surfing, Jumba and Pleakly watched Stitch. They tried to capture Stitch from underwater. Because of it, Stitch and Lilo drowned. David managed to help them, but Nani thought that Stitch attacked Lilo. Accidentally, Cobra watched that happening and told Nani that they couldn’t be together. That night, Lilo and Nani stayed on a hammock together. Stitch felt a pang of guilt and decided to leave and hide in the woods.

On the other hand, Jumba and Pleakley felt heat that they could not catch him quickly. The Grand Councilwoman asked Captain Gantu, a shark-like alien, to capture Stitch. The next morning, Jumba found and tried to catch Stitch in the woods. Stitch wanted to stay with Lilo and Nani. Stitch ran from him and went back to their house. There he met Lilo, but Jumba also came there. While Stitch and Jumba began to fight, Lilo called Cobra for help. Before their house was broken, Pleakley took Lilo out their house.

Finally, the Grand Councilwoman arrived to arrest Stitch, but she allowed him to stay with Lilo. She decided the place where Stitch was exiled was earth. She realized Lilo and Nani loved Stitch, and Stitch also loved them. Jumba and Pleakley also stayed on earth to help Nani, Lilo and Stitch. Then Cobra turned to be a former member of CIA and he promised her to help them. That’s why Stitch could be Lilo’s family at last.

I expected that story to be boring, but it was funny story to me. I can enjoy watching that story. Sometimes Lilo is a not good girl to Nani, but she loves her very much. If I have Stitch, I do not know whether I can keep him or not. Stitch is really cute, but his behavior is very bad. My favorite scene was that Stitch spat two pieces of cake.

However, I was happy that I could listen the song “Aloha Oe”. Since I have watched this movie, I long for Hawaii. If I have a chance, I want to travel to Hawaii someday. I want to see this movie, too. I cannot wait to watch this movie. Anyway, I like the story, so I will recommend many people to watch Lilo and Stitch. I want to see Lilo and Stitch 2, too. If I have free time, I will watch it!　(630 words) Total5057

Essay 1-03 a Lilo and Stitch

Lilo and Stitch is a Disney Animation film. It was written by Walt Disney.

One day, a crazy alien scientist named Mr. Jumba Jookida made Number 626. Number 626 looked cute blue koala, but he was dangerous creature. That’s why Mr. Jumba was arrested, and 626 was nearly broken by other aliens, but he managed to escape and went to the earth. The place it arrived was Hawaii. The Grand Councilwoman, was the leader of the fictional United Galactic, asked Jumba and Agent Pleakley to chase after him. They also went to the earth.

Lilo was a little girl who lives with her sister Nani in Hawaii. They did not have parents because their parents died in a car accident. Lilo went to a dance school, but there she often had a run-in with other girls. That’s why Lilo did not have any friends, so she always felt alone. Nani was her older sister and took care of Lilo, but she did not have any job and keep their living condition good, so social worker Cobra Bubbles visited their house. He told Nani that he would take Lilo into a foster care if she couldn't improve her problems within 3 days. After that, Lilo wanted to have a nice friend, so they went to an animal shelter to get a dog. At the same time, 626 was sent to the shelter. That’s why Lilo met him there and decided to get him. Nani once refused to buy him, but Lilo got to like him very much. She finally allowed her to have him. They bought him for 2 dollars.

The next day, David took them to a beach. They were enjoying surfing there. When they did surfing, Jumba and Pleakly watched Stitch. They tried to capture Stitch from underwater. Because of it, Stitch and Lilo drowned. David managed to help them, but Nani thought that Stitch attacked Lilo. Accidentally, Cobra watched that happening and told Nani that they couldn’t be together. That night, Lilo and Nani stayed on a hammock together. Stitch felt a pang of guilt and decided to leave and hide in the woods.
On the other hand, Jumba and Pleakley felt heat that they could not catch him quickly. The Grand Councilwoman asked Captain Gantu, a shark-like alien, to capture Stitch. The next morning, Jumba found and tried to catch Stitch in the woods. Stitch wanted to stay with Lilo and Nani. Stitch ran from him and went back to their house. There he met Lilo, but Jumba also came there. While Stitch and Jumba began to fight, Lilo called Cobra for help. Before their house was broken, Pleakley took Lilo out their house.

Finally, the Grand Councilwoman arrived to arrest Stitch, but she allowed him to stay with Lilo. She decided the place where Stitch was exiled was earth. She realized Lilo and Nani loved Stitch, and Stitch also loved them. Jumba and Pleakley also stayed on earth to help Nani, Lilo and Stitch. Then Cobra turned to be a former member of CIA and he promised her to help them. That’s why Stitch could be Lilo’s family at last.

I expected that story to be boring, but it was funny story to me. I can enjoy watching that story. Sometimes Lilo is a not good girl to Nani, but she loves her very much. If I have Stitch, I do not know whether I can keep him or not. Stitch is really cute, but his behavior is very bad. My favorite scene was that Stitch spat two pieces of cake. However, if he exists, I want to have him for only 3 days. I thought there were few musical parts in this film. However, I was happy that I could listen the song “Aloha Oe”. Since I have watched this movie, I long for Hawaii. If I have a chance, I want to travel to Hawaii someday. I want to see this movie, too. I cannot wait to watch this movie. Anyway, I like the story, so I will recommend many people to watch Lilo and Stitch. I want to see Lilo and Stitch 2, too. If I have free time, I will watch it!　(700 words) Total 4060

Corban cut to the right, and Matt the cut to the left. I think that they surf very well. The two boys raced down the face of the wave. When their ride came to an end, Corban and Matt paddle back out to sea again. As Corban paddle, something bumped his leg. “What was that?” he shouted. I think that it is shark. I do not like shark. But I like fish. And animal. Corban looked down into the water. He saw a big shadow pass under him. “Hey, Matt” he shouted. Matt was looking into the water, too.

It looks really big, said Matt. Where is it going now? Asked Corban. I can’t tell. said Matt. Suddenly, a grey fin popped out of the water in the middle of the boys. “look out! Shark. Shouted Corban. Let’s get out here of here. I think it is not shark. The gray fin raced towards the boys. The fin cut to the left. The fin cut to the right. Then it shot towards the boys. Corban stared closely into the water. I do not think it is a shark, he said. It is fin does not stick up. Matt stared closely into the water, too. I think you are right. He said. Suddenly a dolphin jumped out of the water and flew over the top of the boys. It is a dolphin. Said Corban. Cool! Said Matt. We are safe. But I do not think safe. Dolphin is very dangerous animal.
