The Jigsaw Puzzle

The children couldn't go outside so they stayed in and do a jigsaw puzzle. When the jigsaw puzzle was completed, the magic key a boy had (I don't know why he had that key) began to glow. The magic took the children into another world.

Rice planting

The last Saturday, I plant rice in a rice field with my father and relatives. We do this every year in this season. Fortunately, it was cloudy and rainy, so is was not hot weather. The rice field is so large, so it took about 10 hours to plant rice. I was very tired, but I enjoyed a party after the rice planting.

Zombies in Tokyo

Today, I read Zombies in Tokyo, a book in the Atama-ii series. Atama-ii books are multi-path adventure books. This story is about a zombie attack in Tokyo.
I'm afraid to say I don't like this. The gloomy scenery and the people covered in blood are very weird for me. However, the story was intriguing and made me want to read a sequel.

Vocabulary
gun: a weapon that shoots metal bullets, often carried by the police.
train tracks: the metal "road" that trains ride on

Concert

The last Saturday, I played a gig in a small concert hall near the PUK. I had been preparing for this concert. I hadn't ever played the guitar in front of many people, so I was nervous before I stood on stage. The concert ended in success.  It was very precious experience.

Drum

The last Sunday, I went to the university and played some songs with my band members. After that, I played the drum for the first time. It was very exciting and blew my mind. Maybe it's much fun to play the drum than the guitar.

By the way, I want to have my own car as soon as possible. It's too much bother to go to school by train and bicycle.
