I read "The Shipwreck". David is in big trouble. John cannot help David because he has only a little air. The dolphins take John to the boat.  David cannot breathe. Nobody cannot help him.   David, John, Faya, Tyler and Daniela are the main characters in this story.  One day they decides to go on a boat to swim and fish in other sea. There was a sign at the boat ramp, and it said "Visit Shark Island". Faya doesn't like shark, so she asks her member about it. But they don't believe that sharks are actually there, so they ride in the boat and go to the island. They had a good time at first, as usual, such as casting their nets and swimming in the sea to catch fish. They think that it is wonderful, especially two boys who swim in the sea think it is excited. But then one of the members noticed something big and gray in the sea. What could it be? Is it a swimmer? or...  Actually, they have two more mishaps to deal with after that. 　I feel like going to the sea a

~ Global Lounge ~ I visited the Global Lounge and  there were a lot of tools for students to study English. For example, there w ere DVDs, books, English games, iPad and magazines and so on. While I visited there, I read the pop-up picture book ”Alice in wonderland”. The books included many big pictures each page. I enjoyed the book because I rarely see such books. It was fun!    And also, I used a iPad to know what contents was included. The iPad included many content such as games, electric books and apps to listen to English. I experienced game which modeled on Riding Red Hood story. That was a amazing. I could learn English, enjoying games. The game has instructions written in English. So if there is a word that I don't know the meaning, I don't look it up and I guess it without looking it up myself. Because I want to keep playing the game. In Global Lounge, I had good and fun time, being surrounded by English contents. I am going to visit there again.

I read " Blue Beard " written by  Charles Perrault. "You must die, madam," said he, "and that at once." "Since I must die," answered she, looking upon him with her eyes all bathed in tears, "give me some little time to say my prayers." "I give you," replied Blue Beard, "half a quarter of an hour, but not one moment more."     Once upon a time, there was a very wealthy man who had  fine houses, both in town and country . He had money, but he had an blue beard too, so the women and children avoided him so much.  One day he thought of taking one of the sisters, a beautiful daughter of a neighbor's house, as his new wife. But neither of them could make up their minds to marry him. Because he had a blue beard and nobody knew what had become of his six ex-wives. But he wanted to marry so much, and through a plan, he has changed their perception of him into the better perception. So he could decided to marry with one of

I read "Drive into Danger" written by ROSEMARY BORDER. He opens it carefully. In it are about fifty small white paper bags.  "What's this?" says Andy.   "Drugs, I think," says Kim.  The main characters in this story are Kim and Andy.

I read "Gils on a Motorcycle" written by JOHN ESCOTT "What can we do?" says Kenny. "She is leaving soon. Let's phone the police. I think it's her."   "No!" Ned says quickly. "Not the police. Wait..."

Actually, He was trying to flee the country. Jack was put in the trunk of the car by the criminal and could not move freely. However, he remembers that he was given a mobile phone and calls the police to come and help him. While he was on the phone, the taxi which the driver, the criminal and Jack was in reached to the airport.  This story is structured like a cartoon. I don't usually read comics, so I didn't know words like Screech or Beep! This book really taught me that. It was very funny and the the end of this story was a comedy. So I enjoyed all. And I was surprised that  English speakers really say
