Rhythm and blues, often abbreviated to R&B, is a genre of popular African American music that originated in the 1940s. The term was originally used by record companies to describe recordings marketed predominantly to urban African Americans, at a time when "urbane, rocking, jazz based music with a heavy, insistent beat" was becoming more popular.

"Newcomer will come to your dorm. She is a Russian.", said person of the secretariat. When we heard it, were very excited, and we were looking forward to seeing her.
On Friday, she came to our dorm! She is a... tall, beautiful (everyone said it :D), small face, long legs (my friend said, "She can't buy jeans in Japan, because Japan doesn't have her size!"), beautiful and pretty! (everyone said it :D) Her name is Vera. She said, "I came to Japan for the first time." But she speaks Japanese well. Actually, person of the secretariat said, "we don't know she can speak Japanese."
Yesterday, June 26th, Ms. Minami, Emi and I made a dinner together, because I said, "I want to eat a dinner with you!" Then, Ms. Minami thought of a idea. She said, "Let's invite anyone!" So we invited Una, Korean, Yang, Chinese, and Vera! :D Una and Yang said, "We will make a Tteokbokki (Korean food)" I said, "When you finished, please come to lounge. Because, we will eat there!"
We gathered in the lounge. On the table, there were Korean, Chinese and Japanese dishes. We use chopstick. Vera also use it very well! She said, "i have used it since the year before last."
We watched a movie while eating dinner. The movie's name is "Salt". This is an American action thriller movie and starring Angelina Jolie. Actually, in the movie, Russian President was killed in front of Vera! We said, "Vera! Russian President was...!!" She laughed it :D This movie was very exciting. We said, "Spy is the strongest."
I want to have a dinner and watch movies together again :)
