BR 1-15: The Tortoise and the Eagle

This is a story about a tortoise.  He had everything he could want, but he was not happy.  He saw an eagle in the sky all day long, so he wanted to fly in the sky.  He tried to fly, but he could not fly.  He called to the eagle, so he was taken by the eagle in the sky.  However, he felt dizzy, so the eagle took the tortoise back to the ground.  Even if he could not fly in the sky, he felt that he was happy. 

I think that this story is very good.  I thought that tortoise was eaten by an eagle because the tortoise said, “I was not happy.”  I thought that he hides so that he is not eaten by an eagle, and it does not feel him happily.  However, it was different.  The eagle was very kind because the eagle took him in the sky.  I felt that the tortoise is pretty.  I like a scene that the tortoise tried to fly.

BR 1-14: The Runaway Pancake

There was once a family with seven children.  One day, their mother made a pancake.  However, the pancake did not want to be them, so the pancake escaped.  The pancake went out of the house, and the pancake ran faster.  Then, the pancake found various animals, such as rabbit, dog, cat and so on.  The pancake rolled on with them chasing behind.  Last, the pancake saw a pig.  The pig is hungry, so the pig wanted to eat the pancake too.  Therefore the pig was too clever to say so.  Then, the pig ate the pancake. 

I borrowed this book because this book’s was cute.  It is interesting, but the pancake was eaten by the pig, so I felt sorry for the pancake.  I thought the pig is clever.

BR 1-13: Dick Whittington

There was a boy called Dick Whittington.  He lived on his own, in the country.  He was very poor, so he thought that I need job.  Then, he asked various workers to work.  For example, he asked boatman, builders, and blacksmiths and so on.  He came to go to London in spite of many miles away.  He arrived at London, and he asked many people to work.  However, he wasn’t able to find job, so he curled up on the steps of a big house and fell asleep.  The next morning, he got up to hear someone shouting in his ear.  Before he could move, a man came out of the house.  He did housework at this house.  He slept at a little room of the house, but he wasn’t able to sleep there because there were many mice.  How would he exterminate a mouse?  

I think he is great because he went to London to do a job.  Because he met kind people at London, I felt relieved.  However, the night when he could not sleep lasted, so I thought I feel sorry.  I thought he is smart in having taken an action that I don’t occur to him.

About blogging

I began blogger to do homework of writing class last year.  I wrote blog in English for the first time last year.  It is very hard for me to do homework this year than last year because I must contribute more than three posts in blogger every week.  I write essay, book review, typing, diary, and comment and so on in my blog.  I do not have an event to write in my blog recently, so I was a little troubled.  However, it was pleasant for me to write blog in English, so I want to write blog in English from now on.
