Review

Today I reviewed the TOIEC, especially listening test. I know the differences of pronunciations such as can. I remember that I had no time to solve all questions at the time so next I am careful.

Val’s Diary

School’s over at last! Summer holidays are here but who wants to spend them in the countryrside? Not Val, of course! She hates the country, but eventually she’ll change her mind. Guess why! Read her diary and find out.

I think that Val should enjoy her life. Certainly she cannot have contacts with her old friends if she moves to Greenhill. However she can make new friends there. And, she may be able to make a boyfriend. Fortunately, Luke, a handsome boy, seems to like Val because Luke kissed her for the first time in her life. There are lots of good aspects for her to live in Greenhill forever. The nature in Greenhill will make her a nice girl. I think that the diary which Jason gave her is a great things. This is because The diary is good for describing a change of her mind. If you want to know more information, please check this page.

Next Door to Love

‘You need to go out, Stella,’ my best friend often told me. ‘You need to meet new people. New men.’ But I didn’t want to meet new men, and I didn’t want a boyfriend. Then Tony came to live in the house next door and everything changed.

Stella and Tony think about Tony’s daughter too much. It is not good for them. I know that Tony miss her but I think that they don’t need to live near her house. Well, they don’t need to move out in order to meet her. Anyway,  the happiness for them is to see Tony’s daughter. This is love story. Love is complex for Stella in this book. I wonder Stella can stand or understand Tony’s love for his daughter. The day may come when Stella complain about it.

Let Me Out!

John makes a robot and calls him Nolan. Nolan can do anything John wants. But Nolan isn’t happy…

If John could love Nolan, Nolan din’t have committed a fault. He is not happy because his parent, John don’t love him. A robot help us in many ways but a robot may need love of user. I think that Nolan will commit a fault again.

Why?

‘Please don’t go to Glossia,’ says Sara. ‘I must,’ answers Alex. ‘I’m a soldier – it’s my job.’ ‘But why are you going there?’ asks Sara. ‘We’re going to stop the fighting,’ says Alex. ‘Lots of people are dying.’

This is a short story about war and this is a interesting book. I think that poor Sara believe Alex can survive. But unexpectedly, Sara’s lover dies. He can save people’s lives but his life can’t be saved. I think that such a sad story is probably all over the world.

The Man from Nowhere

A man is walking slowly in the desert. He is not wearing a shirt. The sun is on his back, which is burnt red. He cannot see, he cannot think. He does not know where he is or who he is. He only knows that he must keep moving, keep putting one foot in front of the other. Keep moving, or die.

When I was reading this book at first, I didn’t understand what happened. But as I read more and more, I understood  the situation. This book is common contents but the end is very nice because the man from nowhere was able to be happy. The boy also was brave so the women could survive thanks to him. This book has vey long story but I think this is good.

Stories of Knights

When King Arthur set up his court, hundreds of knights wanted to join him. But they had to fight fierce giants and deadly dragons first. For only the bravest, strongest and most loyal of knights could sit at the king’s Roud Table. Read on for three of their exciting adventures.

The title of this book which I read is silver collar but I can’t find it. Well, I like chapter3 especially . The title is Sir Gawain and the Loathly Lady. Sir Gawain’s brother is very brave and cool, on the other hand Sir gawain wasn’t. He liked women. So many women cried because of him. At last, he was able to be a good man and get a beautiful woman as his wife. The story of the chapter1 is interesting.  The title is Sir Gawain and the Green Knight. In this chapter Sir Gawain is very storng and great knight but in the chapter3, his fault became clear. Anyway, this book is good.

The Owl and the PussyCat

Follow the magical adventures of the Owl and the Pussycat in this beautifully illustrated edition of Edward Lear’s best – loved nonsense poem.

I like this picture. They are cute. Especially the pictures of the process of a trip are good. They are cute. This book made me have harmonious feeling. I think they will stay together forever. Maybe, they may dance on the beach at night by the light of the moon. The song of the owl must be attractive for pussycat. It is happy for her to hear lovely song,  looking up to the stars above.

GHOSTS! Ghostly Tales from Folklore

Do you believe in ghosts? Some people do. Singing ghosts and cat ghosts, toast – eating ghosts, and teeny – tiny ghosts. Here are seven spooky tales that will send shivers up your spine and tickle your funny bone, too.

I found a word of a scaredy – cat in this book. I have read the book of a scaredy – cat.  And in the third title, I think that I don’t find the green bottle. The forth title in this book is good. All people in this chapter are ghosts. It was an unexpected end. To tell the truth , I want to read more in detail. Why did people singing in the cemetery have George’s umbrella? Why didn’t George realize that he dies? Well, a dog in this chapter was shedding tears, maybe for George.

In a Dark, Dark Room and other Scary Stories

From shivering skeltons to haunted graveyards…here are seven spine – tingling stories to share in a dark, dark room.

I like such a book very very much. particulary, this book has a great foreword. Well, maybe I think foreword means introduction in this case. Of course the contents of this book are also good. I know some of them. But, I don’t understand seventh story, THE GHOST OF JOHN well. This story is written in only one page. Does it say that skeleton is scary?  Anyway, if you want to read scary stories, why don’t you read this book? It is easy to read.
