Restaurant review

My favirite restaurant is " KUA AINA". It is humburger shop.
A main menu in KUA AINA is an avocado burger. Its size is very big!! Its vilume is wonderful!!
But it is high in price...
This shop is born in Hawaii.So it is Hawaiian style shop.
When I am eating an avocado burger in this shop, I can have such feelings that I am in Hawaii.Its feelings are very pleasant.
If you select an avocado burger set, you can get a burger,softdrink,french fries and onion fries.
My favorite softdrink is "guava juice". It is sweet and fresh!It match this burger.
I recommend to who like beef and avocado. The people  are certainly deep in this burger.

Soccer

a.Vocabulary




b.Reading

Association football, commonly known as football or soccer, is a sport played between two teams of eleven players with a spherical ball. At the turn of the 21st century, the game was played by over 250 million players in over 200 countries, making it the world's most popular sport.

The game is played on a rectangular field of grass or green artificial turf, with a goal in the middle of each of the short ends. The object of the game is to score by driving the ball into the opposing goal. In general play, the goalkeepers are the only players allowed to touch the ball with their hands or arms, while the field players typically use their feet to kick the ball into position, occasionally using their torso or head to intercept a ball in midair. The team that scores the most goals by the end of the match wins. If the score is tied at the end of the game, either a draw is declared or the game goes into extra time and/or a penalty shootout, depending on the format of the competition.

The Laws of the Game were originally codified in England by the Football Association in 1863 and have evolved since then. Association football is governed internationally by FIFA, which organises the FIFA World Cup every four years.

How to Find Love Advice

Listen to your inner-voice. No one knows you better than you. Taking the time to heed your internal "warning systems" can keep you out of trouble. Avoid using previous mistakes as an excuse to doubt your own judgment. Sometimes simply separating yourself from distractions can allow you to engage in rational thinking.

Movie

My favorite movie is Peter Pan.
This story is Wendy and her brothers are whisked away toadventure  the magical world of Neverland with the hero of their stories.They adventure with Indians and mermaids and pirates.There are many children in Neverland.They wish "I don't want to be a adult."
I think often "I wish that teenager continue forever".So I sympathize with them in Neverland.
It may be made movie for children.But everyone in all generation must enjoy it.Because everyone was children in the pass.
