BR 1-05: Little Women

‘Little Women’ is one of the famous novels in the world. It was written by Louisa M. Alcott. In Japan, this book called ‘Wakakusa Monogtari’ I know the title of this novel because it is famous, but I had never read it. So I think it is important to know famous novels. There are 4 sisters in Massachusetts and they are Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy. They are really good sisters and they always be with. I think brothers or sisters are really important for us. In this story, 4 sisters are always thinking of each other. I have 3 brothers and I don’t have any sisters, so I envied to have sisters.

‘Love is more important than money.’ In this story, these words are written again and again. I don’t know about that because I don’t have knowledge about love.

I think Little Women was a really nice novel because I could sympathize with 4 sisters.

Writing I-II

In Writing I-Ⅱ, I could learn a lot of things about English. First, when we write an essay, we should make some paragraph. If we make them, paragraphs make the essay easy to understand. So it is very important to make them. Second, we should take attention to prepositions. Prepositions also make the sentence easy to understand and I think it is important to use a correct prepositions. Finally, it is not good to begin same words each sentence. If all sentences begin ‘I’, we are very boring to read. So we should make a variation. For example, we can use conjunction, change the subject, and so on.

I think English writing is difficult for Japanese, but we can improve our writing skill if we write a lot of essays. So I’ll do my best in Writing III.

BR1-02: The story of Flying

I love the sky when I was a child, so I like to ride airplanes. This book, ‘The story of flying’, is a story about how to begin to fly by plane.

In 1487, an Italian inventor named Leonardo da Vinci drew plans for a flying machine. He was sure it would fly, but he couldn’t build one that worked. He was the first person who wanted to fly. On December 17, 1903, Wilbur and Orville invented the first plane. They were brothers who lived in America. They failed a lot of times. But all the time, they were learning about flying. I think they were really glad and happy when they could fly. But taking off wasn’t as easy as it sounds. Lots of people were building planes and there were all kinds of competitions to see who could fly the highest, longest or fastest. Planes were only the start of flying story. Like the first plane, the first hot-air balloon was invented by brothers. The Montgolfiers, who were French, noticed that hot air rises. Soon, they had built a balloon large enough to carry people. I haven’t ride balloon, so I would like to ride it! Helicopter is one of invention of flying history. Space shuttle is too.

I like airplanes so this book was really interesting for me. I respect to inventor of planes. If planes were not, we couldn’t take a trip to all over the world.
