My reading this week 8

　　I chose "Notting Hill" this week. This story was made into a movie, and I like the movie. This happy end always makes me feel happy. I think the story shows that all humans are equivalent in value.
　　By the way, the level of this book is ３. It was not so difficult, although I read books whose level were 2 until last week. So I intend to challenge the level 4.

My reading this week 7

　　When I choose a book, at first I glance through the book, looking at pictures and sentences, and consider about the level. Finally, I decide by whether I want to read the book or not.
　　By the way, I read this week "The House on the Hill". This is a story of Paul and Maria. Paul was poor, but Maria was rich. They loved each other, but Maria loved riches than Paul. Maria married a rich man. But Paul could not forget her. She was beautiful, but she did not have veritable beauty, I think. Paul noticed that. Finally Maria becomes unhappy, Paul becomes happy. I thought it was natural.

My reading this week 6

　　I read "Rip Van Winkle and The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" this week. I thought Catskill Mountain is very mysterious place, but I never want to go there! Rip Van Winkle is like "Urashimatarou" in Japanese fairy tale. I was very sorry for him. Ichabod is also poor man! I wonder where he is. But I think the Headless Horseman was Brom, the big rival of Ichabod.
　　I like happy stories, so I do not like horrible story. I must find a happy story book for the next reading!

My reading this week 5 in 県立大！

　　In 県立大, I read "The Nutcracker" too. It is a dreamworld. If I read this book in early childhood, I would want a wooden nutcracker doll. He will bring me to Ice queen's palace and the land of sweets. I think it is good dream. (^0^) This is a picture book for beginners or children, so it was very easy.
　　There are many many English books in the library of 県立大！I am very pleased with this library.
　　I have been used to reading in English. It is very hard to read books which is high level, but I think that it is about time I raise the level. I will make effort to improve my reading skill.
