(* I only have one pair little fish.) This evening,when I came back home and I fed my fish, I could see a very small fish swimming. It had a very bright colored body, and was shorter than 5mm. I was so glad, but I felt it`s a little strange that I didn’t know that my fish was pregnant. Anyway, I hope it will be grow well.

A scrunchie in the USA is different from a ponytail holder. A scrunchie is an elastic band covered with fabric. A ponytail holder is simply an elastic band with a special covering so it doesn't tug. They both serve the same function. I've never heard it called a rubber band. We tend to reserve that term for the office supply bands.

• *It` been a long time. Yeah, I haven't write my English entry for a while. The entry below is my Chinese entry from yesterday. I feel that writing such an entry in English is not easy for me, so I`ll just simply talk a liitle. I feel that writing such an entry in English is not easy for me, so I`ll just simply talk about it a little bit. I`ll simply talk about the videos below. I took these videos the day before yesterday in the night. That day, I went to a stream near my house with my husband. Sure we took Betty and Jang-Ah with us. We went to a playground near by stream, then I had been in-line skating around the track with Jjang-Ah, and my husband had walked with betty. As you can see throught these videoes Jjang-Ah really likes running. I took these with my smart-phone while I skated. The videos are not that good, because I took the videos while I skated grabbing Jjang-Ah`s leash, so it was shaken a lot. Even more it was a dark night, so it wasn't clear. But I feel good that Jjang-ah enjoyed running as he wanted. After we returned home, my husband gave them a bath, and I groomed them.

(Oct 05th 2011 21:27 ) The following is the 'Number Song'.Just a moment ago I read my entry from a year ago.There`s the 'Three bears ' there.Therefore I found some other songs that children seem to like. I 'm uploading these cute songs for lang-8 friends. I tried to choose those with Korean subtitles where possible.

Today I had a couple of grilled cheese sandwiches for dinner. I also had some tortelini soup. For dessert I had a chocolate chip cookie. Now I'm full, but I bet I'll get a snack sometime before bed.

endowment

Numerous problems remain, including a low endowment of energy sources, an underdeveloped industrial sector, and difficulties with tax receipts, in a country where most of the population live below the threshold of poverty.
A second invasion also ended in defeat, but this time Alaric forced the Senate in Rome to pay the Visigoths a large endowment.

malign

The claim that the Lombards wiped out peoples is evidently false, but there can be no doubting their malign impact on the landowning class and churches in the areas that they took over.
In times of crisis, they deployed the symbols and rituals of their secular and religious cultures to reinforce demands for social justice and for vengeance against malign forces within and outside the household and community.

to tally

To the American public, British interference in trade, the stopping of food supplies to Germany, limitations on journalists, and censoring of the mail had all been tallied against Britain.
I was ordered by father to tally the number of pieces of ice hauled by each horse and slide, whilst in addition I was compelled to work in the ice house stowing the ice.

growl

I slowed down the engine and, with an impatient growl, bent over the little binnacle to look at the compass and get my bearings before pointing the Comfort's nose in the direction of Denboro.
A hoarse growl, or rather scream from the inmost recess of the covert, at this moment, betrayed the position of the game, and convinced us that the monster was rousing from his lair.

gnat

At nightfall one's legs must be encased in mosquito boots practically all the year on the coast and six months in the interior, as the countless variety of gnats, mosquitoes and biting flies hover about under dinner-tables and chairs to feast upon the unfortunate females who prefer a pretty slipper and silken ankle to sensible, though unlovely, protection.
Since both the gnat larvae and the silversides feed extensively on tiny planktonic crustaceans, the fish probably reduce the population of gnats both by eating them and by competing with them for food.

acclaim

Ambrose Bierce became particularly envious of Stephen Crane, whose 1895 Civil War novel The Red Badge of Courage received a level of popular and critical acclaim that overshadowed Bierce’s own war stories.
By criticizing Meun’s misogynistic tone and the unfortunate affect it had on general attitudes toward women, Christine countered the acclaim accorded the poem by male commentators.

In 1894, the first meeting of the newly created International Olympic Committee took place at the Sorbonne University in Paris. A historic decision was made to revive the Olympic Games, starting two years later in Athens.
The man largely responsible for this decision was a French aristocrat called Baron Pierre de Coubertin. His motives are disputed, but he was strongly influenced in childhood by the defeat of the French army in the Franco-Prussian war of 1870-1871. The defeated French soldiers were perceived as physically and morally weak. The enemy had qualities the French were seen to lack.
