Book Review 2-17★Dracula★

In the mountains of Transylvania there stands a castle. It is the home of Count Dracula. It is dark, lonely place, and at night the wolves howl around the walls. In the spring of 1875, Jonathan Harker travels to Transylvania, on a business visit to the home of Count Dracura. Jonathan does not really want to go because in a few month’s time he is getting married to his beautiful Mina, and he’s does not want to leave her. It is little horror story. I felt scary.

Book review2-16★Jeniffer Lopez


I like Jeniffer Lopez very much. So I choose this book.
Her movies are on TV. Her music is on the radio. She is a Hollywood star and successful singer. Today, she is the number one Latin actress in the United States. She is not only beautiful. She is interesting, too. She went to the Holy Family Catholic School in New York. It is a good school and she is good student. The school years go quickly. Jennifer is not a little girl now. She goes to her dance school every day. She works well. Then she starts to look far a job. It is 1988. there were many good dancers in New York. They were all looking for work, but there aren’t many jobs. She is wrong. The theater show, Golden Musicals of Broadway, wants dancers. She goes for an audition and gets a job. The show goes to Europe. Then, after five months, she starts a job with a new show, Synchronicity. This shows goes to Japan.
She is a very good dancer now. And she is beautiful, too. She is fan. And she is Latin. She gets some interesting work in music. She dances on the music video of famous singers, and she meets important people in the music business.
“ I am always going to be Latina. That is me.”
Jeniffer’s success is good for Latin Americans. She knows that. Before the 1990s, “Latin” was about people with little money and life. In music and in movies, Latin performers are suddenly very popular. Julio Iglesias, Ricky Martin, and Marc Anthony are all big names. And now there are women, too. And who is number one? Jennifer Lopez, of course.

David was small and shin. But his legs were strong. He did long kicks and short kicks, again and again every day. When he was 16, he was a boy player for Manchester United. He became good football player.

Book Review 2-10★Animal in danger


I read the book 'Animal in Danger'.

Every year some species of animal disappear. We never see them again.

Why are the animals in danger??

Long long ago, there were a lot more species of animal than there are now. Some animals die because of small changes in the weather. And most animals are in danger from our behaviour. We can't protect animals. We put new buildings on empty land and don't think about animals. We make new roads, we move rivers, we take away trees. some people hunt and kill animals. They don't kill the animals for food, because they like hunting!!Elephant die because people want ivory. Rhinoceros die because people want to buy their horns. Some people make a lot of money from animals. Whales are also in danger from hunting. Now, most countries stopped hunting a number of years ago, but it is difficult to waych ships and protect animals.


What can I do??

We can stop animals dying. Everyone can do thing in a small way. For example we ride bicycle instead of car, please stop wearing the leopard skin coat. A coat from a dead animal isn't beautiful. Don't you think so?? I think everyone have to do something for animals. If there are not animals in the world, we can't live. Animals is so important. We should think about animal in danger!!

Book review 2-06★Titanic

I read ' Titanic' this week. I watched movie 'Titanic' before.
The Titanic was the most famous ship in history. It was gogeous ship. 15000 people made the titanic. They made it in 1912 in Balfast, Northern Ireland. It was the biggest ship in the world. it was 24900 tons, 265 metres lonf, and 28 metres across. It could go at 46 kilometers an hour,, so it was one of the fastest ship in the world, too. Thomos Andrew was the designer of the Titanic. He was first class passengers. He talked ' Titanic is very safe, this ship can never sink'.
Is it true??...
On the night of 14 April the sea was Quiet. The weather was goode, but it was so cold. Then, two sailors looked out at the sky. Sailor saw something in the front of the ship. It was so big. It was iceberg!! It was not far away!! He called officer, and said about it. The iceberg came nearerand nearer. The iceberg hits the ships!!
Andreaw understood about this crisis, and said ' The ship is going to sink'. the captain made the emergency message. But Nobody was listening. There was nothing to help Titanic....
The Titanic had twenty life boats. These life boats could carry 1,178 people, but there were 2207 people on the ship. Harf of the people, there was no lifeboat.
First, women and children went to lifeboat. So men have to wait on the ship. Woman parted with her hasband, child parted thier father. It was so sad story. There were first class, second class, third class passengers on the ship. Almost Third passender couldn't get the life boat.
The Titanic gradually went to sink.
Finally more than one thousand peoole died. Why was it become the result? The life boat could take 60 people. but, someome life boats didn't take many people. One boat taked only 12 peoples. And some empty life boats didn't go to help. They only watched the person who is drowned. Only one boat went back to people in the water, but itwas too late. Nearly everyone was dead in the cold water.

I think every lifeboats have to go back to help. Returned to help only one boat. It is too terrible.
