Do you know the movie Jaws? Well, in the movie a huge shark starts to eat people. It is sort of scary.

But the movie is wrong about sharks. Sharks try not to eat people. Did you know that a great white sharks can weigh as much as 15 gorillas?! The smallest sharks are as big as a kid’s hand! Also sharks lay about 100 eggs at a time!                                                                          This is the picture of Jaws

Is Friday the 13th an unlucky day? I don’t believe that Friday the 13th is an unlucky day because……

1. Nothing bad has been happening bad today(Today=Friday the 13th because I typed this on that day).

3. Humans just decided that 13 is an unlucky number.

What are your goals for 2017?

I only have 1 goal this year. It is to graduate into middle school. That is because in Japan you have to take a test to gradate into middle school or high school. Then you have to take another test to graduate into college. This means you have to take a test to graduate into a school at least twice for a lifetime. I am going to take the test to graduate into middle school because even if I fail getting into middle school I have another chance to take a test to graduate into high school. This is why I am studying a lot these days.
