One day, they had a sports festival of their home town. All people were all fired up for the competition, of course Wilma's family, too. They took part in many kinds of competition for example, the long jump, running race, the egg and spoon race and so on. Wilma, Wilf and their dad came good position. Especially, Wilma came first!! Every member of her family was glad about it. Next, it was Mum's turn. She was in a race. At first of the race, she ran the head of all, but unfortunately, she tripped over something and fell on her face. So, she was last in the race. She was really sorry about it to family.

Then, dad put a blindfold on mum and Wilma and Wilf gave new running shoes, a bunch of flowers, message card to mum, and a medal which they made and printed 'BEST MUM'. They had a surprise to encourage her.

Mum was last in the race, but she is the best mum for family. I want to be like her who is loved everyone. I respect her very much!! (199 words)

Then, I moved to upstairs and I was wearied my kimono.

Next, I went to the photo studio with my father and mother because I made a reservation for taking photos of my family. The photo studio is located in Kokubu near my company. We are not good at let taking photos, so it was really hard work for us. Smiling in front of the camera was very hard. However, this experience would be something pleasant to look back on for my family.

Then, I went to the city gym in Suizenji to attend a coming-of age ceremony with my friend. But when I went there many people entered inside the gym, so we could not attend the ceremony. It is only sorry thing. So we started to find our old friends and taking photos with them. I could meet friends who I have not seen them for a long time. And I saw people who wear weird clothes and set funny hair. I took some photos of them lol

After that, I visited to my high school to meet my friends and teachers. Teachers were not changed from when we were high school students. It was really glad for me. I was so happy to see them. I want to visit and see them again.
