California
Everyone has heard of Alcatraz and the golden gate bridge. Everyone has seen films from Hollywood. But what ease do we know about California?
This book looks at the cities and the mountains, at the sea and the deserts. It looks at the history of this exciting state, at the gold miners of 1849 and at san Francisco and its earthquakes.

I have never been there before, but I could learn about California. There are many beautiful places and natures. I want to go there because reading it. Then I want to get GOLD!!!!!! Shall we go there??

book review 2-09

First, I am going to write about this story. It is written about twisters. It is so dangerous. I can understand its dangerous.

In Japan, we seldom get a twister, so I have never seen it before. I don’t want to get it. When we get it, my house will be broken. At the same time, my life will be broken.

book review 2-08

Most people around the world today know something about American life. The United States is a big country. Not all Americans are the same!! In this book I saw the many faces of American life.

I have never been to America. I really want to go there. My friend whose I met last year in my collage in Japan lives there. I want to meet her. American sizes are so bigger than Japanese ones. I think American people live with freedom. I will enjoy staying there.

book review 2-07

London is one of the great cities of the world. It is the biggest city in Britain and in Europe. In 1900, it was the biggest city in the world. In this book I found a lot of interesting information about London. I read about its history from roman times. I learned about its famous people, the shops, museums and places of this exciting city.

I have never been there, so I want to go there once in my life. There are many places to enjoy my stay. Unique cars, buildings and fashion will make me very exciting, I can suggest. You should go there once.

I am going to introduce this book, “Around the World in Eighty Days”.

First, this is a story.↓

This is the beginning of one of Jules Verne’s most exciting stories. Phileas Fogg must get back to London by December 21^st or lose all his money. And with the help of his servant, Passepartout,Fogg travels in many ways – from train to elephant – and has some surprising adventures on the way.

I want to travel all over the world like this book!! There are many trables, but I want to solve them myself, sometimes helped by someone. There are a picture of Fogg. She is very more beautifull than painting.
