BR 2-33: ENGLAND

2. Who are the English?

Today, nearly fifty million people live in England, and about fifty thousand more come and live here every year.

     I read ENGLAND. It was written by John Escott. This book is written about England. The name 'England' comes from 'Angle-land'. This was the name the Angle and Saxon people gave it. They came here from Europe in the fifth and sixth centuries. All through the twentieth century,  people came to live in England.
     I didn't know the name 'England' comes from 'Angle-land'. If I go to England in the future for the travel, I want to read this book again!!

BR 2-32: NEW YORK

9. New York and New Yorkers

Some visitors find that New Yorkers are not very friendly.

     I read NEW YORK. It was written by John Escott. Some visitors say New Yorkers aren't friendly. For example some taxi drivers talk all through the journey, some talk if you talk to them, but only to say 'Yeah!' or 'OK!' So I think that is New York dangerous? Perhaps it is, but so are many big cities. All visitors must to remember 'Don't carry a lit of money with you,' 'Don't travel on the subway alone at night,' 'Stay with the crowds late at night,' 'Go into the nearest hotel or shop if you suddenly feel afraid.' The city is always changing. That's New York!!! That's the most exciting city in the world! I think New York is top of the world! New York is the biggest city in the world! I want to go New York!

The winter solstice

We ate pumpkin boiled in seasoned liquid at the winter solstice. And we took the yuzu bath. I live with my grandparents, so I and my family follow tradition. I like pumpkin boiled in seasoned liquid, so I often eat it. But I eat it at the winter solstice, I have different thought from usual.
