How to make BLT sandwiches
Today, I’m going to tell you how to make BLT sandwiches for four people. BLT stands for bacon, lettuce and tomato and it is my favorite kind. First, you need some twelve strips of bacon which you will fry in a frying pan and season with salt and pepper until they are crisp. Then, turn it with a turner. Set those aside. Then, you will need eight slices of bread, which you will toast lightly in a toaster and put it on a cutting board. When those are done, you need to prepare eight leaves of lettuce washed in water and twelve thick slices of tomato. Then, you spread mayonnaise on the eight slices of bread with a butter knife. Then, on four slices of bread place the lettuce and sliced tomato. After that, spread mustard on bread and add the bacon strips. Finally, add the second piece of bread and cut in half with a knife. You’re ready for great lunches!!

Trend sagging-pants
In Vancouver Winter Olympic 2010, Kazuhiro Kokubo as snowboarder was blame about his pants-sagging style. In the latest fashion, a lot of youth wear low-hanging pants called “Koshipan” among youths. Is it fashion to wear low-hanging pants?
Some people say that it is fashion to wear low-hanging pants, but I think it looks untidy. It is good for oneself, but some people may think bad feeling. Specially, in case of Kokubo, I think he should have learned place. I think he should have made a distinction between official and private, because he was an Olympic representative athlete. In the city, I saw a man wearing low-hanging pants, but I didn’t feel good for me. When I went to high school, boys often paid attention to wear low-hanging pants by the teacher. I think that own mind shows own appearance. They should learn time, place and occasion.
