Huis Ten Bosch

     I went to many good place. There are a lot of good place in Japan. I think Huis Ten Bosch is very very good place. I think Huis Ten Bosch isn't in Nagasaki, Japan. All buildings of Huis Ten Bosch are beautiful! There are many kind of flowers! Flowers are colorful and beautiful. We can see windmills. Huis Ten Bosch's model country is the Netherlands. Netherlands is famous for water. So, there is a long river! We can take a ship in Huis Ten Bosch. We can move by ship in Huis Ten Bosch. There are many restaurants and all foods are delicious. I like restaurant "Puccini". I like Puccini's paella and pasta and German sausage and mustard. And we can see illuminations. Illumination of Huis Ten Bosch is wonderful! I went to Huis Ten Bosch last October. I was impressed by wonderful illumination. I want to see the illumination again. Huis Ten Bosch is good place! (160 words)



SCOTLAND

How much do you really know about this country of exiting cities, beautiful islands and wonderful mountains? Everybody knows about Scotch whisky, but this book looks a little further than the Scotland of visitors ― at the real Scotland that lies underneath.

SCOTLAND is a book in the Factfiles subseries of Oxford Bookworms. As you may know, Factfiles is a nonfiction subseries. Many of the books are about places, and some about social problems such as the environment. Many of books about places are about countries, but this country is the country north of England, part of Great Britain and of the United Kingdom.


 The language in general is fairly simple, but the impression is that it's noticeably more challenging than Stage 1 books. Most of the vocabulary is fairly simple, but there are many proper nouns. This is unavoidable in a book introducing a place, but may give an impression of difficulty to some students. Picking page 10 at random, the numbers of words n each sentence are as follows: 19, 31, 24, 24. These figures give a mean of  24.5. One noticeable difference from Stage 1 books is the absence of short sentences of fewer than 10 words, which may slow down reading speed a little. It is a country in a country.


The chapter that appealed to me the most was Chapter 9: If you visit Scotland, you can stay in a hotel or in a 'B & B' (where you get bed and breakfast, but not dinner). (250 words)

     I raed David and the Giant. It was written by Emily Little. Long ago there was a boy named david. Once a lion came to steal a sheep. Was David afraid? No! He killed the lion all by himself! Soon war came to David's land. david's brothers went off to fight. One day david's father said, "You must take somee food to your brothers." David saw his brothers. Evreyone was looking at the other army.

    Then― across the valley came a giant. The giant was big and strong and mean. The giant shouted, "I am Goliath. Send one man to fight me!" The king asked, "Who will fight Goliath?" "Not me! Not me!" cried the men. Then David said, "Send me. I will fight the giant." The king gave David a big sword. David gave it back. David picked up a stone. ZING! The stone hit Gpliath between the eyes! The giant fell down― dead!!!!!!! David was a hero! David grew up to be a great king!

BR 2-22: Dorothy

Every night, Dorothy delivers dreams ― to adults, children and even pets. Usually everyone gets the dream they want, but one dark night Drothey can't see, and she delivers the wrong dreams... But in this delightful, original tale everything ends happily as a chorus of cats comes to the rescue!
 

     I read Dorothy. It was written by Robert Hill. Dorothy has a big bag, and in her bag she has a lot of dreams. Dorothy has the right dream for everyone. She has a toy mouse for Kitty, she has a big bone for Bongo... What wonderful dreams! Now the moon smiles and the stars twinkle. Dorothy sings. She's happy! The sky is happy! But big, dark clouds come. They come fast. They cover the moon and stars. They cover Dorothy and her bag of dreams. It's very very dark. The sky is sad. The cats on the roofs sing a special song. The cats sing and sing. The moon smiles. The stars twinkle. The sky is happy. Drothy is happy. She smiles. She takes the right dreams out of her bag!

    I like  this book's illustrate. This book's illustrate is colorful. Dorothy is beautiful! This story has a lot of dream.

BR 2-21: CALIFORNIA

     Oxford Bookworms Factfiles is a sub-series in the Oxford Bookworms series. It is devoted to nonfiction, and most of the books about countries or famous cities or environmental problems. 

     Generally, the book is quite easy to read. There are few embedded clauses, and the sentences are simple in structure. The average sentence length is about 10 words. There are some much longer sentences, but most of those are lists or have easy-to-understand clauses such as "because" clauses. The vocabulary is quite simple, with few unknown words that learners will needs to look up in the dictionary. But the books do have quite a lot of information and the number of words is fairly large. Thus, these books are recommend for learners who are aiming to progress beyond very short and simple books such Usborne First Reading or Oxford Reading Tree.

     The book I read today is California. The book consists of ten chapters: The Golden State, The Gold Rush, San Francisco, Parks, Highway1, Los Angeles, The Desert, San Diego and California. 

Chapter8, San Diego is California's oldest, and second largest, city.

     Overall, the book was very interesting and useful for me. My knowledge of Ireland was very limited, and the book gave me lots of useful information and made me want to visit California my self . As mentioned adobe, this book and other books in the Factifiles sub-series may be a useful next step for leaners who have read mainly very simple books. (257 words)
