Book Review 2-11 "The Revealing Story of Underwear"

This book is write about underwear. The scorching hot Ancient Egypt, people didn't need to wearing many clothes, so they wearing like a right wear.

Knockers were worn by men in middle ages. It is long size at first, but they did farm work. So, the short size is may useful for them. And they didn't have soap. Surprisingly, they even tried using animal dung!!! I can't believe! After washed, they splurged on plenty perfume. Rich men wearing several pairs of drawers. But women didn't wearing it. They wore the simple tunic, under their dress. In the 17th century, women also wore drawers, but it is nit same of men. It is the seams between the legs were left wide open. They going to toilet is easy!

In the 1880s, slim figure was popular. Now, "closed"drawers were catching on.

Today, people like much shorter and tighter pants. Everyone wants to comfortable and glamour one.

In the 16 century, people wore corsets. They like small waists and curry hips. The corsets can make the those body line. In the 20th century, corsets shrank to just circle waist, because the new fashion appeared.

Next, let me tell about the petticoats and hoops. The Spanish liked a bell-sha frame. The French preferred a drum look...while the English went for a cone design. when corset went out of fashion, breasts need a different of support, so they wore camisoles. Brassiere is French word. Now, bras are big business for women. ( 15080 words)

Coming of Age Day

I had a coming of age day on January 3. I got up at 4:00. And I went to hair salon at 5:00. It is really early time, but there are many people already there. The hair salon people set me, hair, make-up, wearing KIMONO. They looks busy. All finished it, I went to take picture with my mom. She drove for me all the day. There was also so many people.
After that, I went to the hall, because there was ceremony at there each city. I met many friends. I was so glad. Elementally school friends, junior high school friends. I was excited to met them. They didn't change anything. Of course appearance is change, but everyone don't change their character.
After ceremony, we took many pictures. And we went to our elementally school. We met our teacher! Surprisingly, he isn't change! We dig the ground. We buried something into box. The teacher into it the wine. I buried the letter and toys. I read the letter. It is so good letter（＾◇＾） I wrote on it like adult. I was surprised. I thought that I was more adult when I was elementally school student.
At night we went to restaurant. There were the teachers of junior high school. My friends and teachers brings me back old memories. I was so happy. Everyone said how they've been getting along. I said to go to Australia for 1 year. My friend said "Good luck." or "Ganbatte." Some friends working already. So, everyone spend their life individually. The day dispelled my ill feeling. Actually I was a little nervous, because we quarreled in junior high school days, but we had a very good time this time. So, I was happy. We went to KARAOKE, and we sung our junior high school song. It is a little embarrass. But it was very good memory for us. I want to meet them when I come back to Japan. (14722 words)
