The Tortoise and the Hare

Today I read The Tortoise and the Hare, a book in Folk&Fairy Tale Easy Readers series. It was written by Violet Findley.

Once upon a tome, there lived a tortoise and a hare. the hare, who was very fast, always teased the slow tortoise. " Ha, ha, ha! Even a snail is faster than you! " he said.(pp.1~2)

I thought the tortoise was very smart. If I were in his position, I would run very hard. From the story, I learned that competition is not always needed strength.

Today I read What Was It Like?, a book in Oxford Reading Tree series. It was written by Roderick Hunt. The children were excited. They were going to take part in a play. It was all about the history of the town. The play was goung to be held in the park, and the children had to rehearse their scene. " I hope we don't forget what to do, " said Chip. The students experienced the war. I think it was good chance to feel areal situation of the war. A lot of people suffered from it. But now we can't experience. In the world, some people continue to suffer from the influence of the war. We have to solve the problem as soon as possible. Vocabulary rehearse:稽古をする Hunt, Roderick(2001). What Was It Like?.

BR-6 Good Wives

イメージ
  This book is a story about four sisters-Meg, Jo, Beth and Amy March. They lived in a small town in the state of Massachusetts, in North America. Mr March, the girl's father, was a minister. He worked at a church in the town. (p. 7)   This story has started the scene of Meg's wedding. Newli married Meg tried to make a wonderful family but suffered from lack of experiences. I felt that this is not unsual. Then she was temped by her friend to buy an expensive dress,  and she feared her husband. From this, I think that there are a lot of hard things when people are married to some people.  This story is long, so this blog will be continued next week. Alcott, M. Louisa. (2005). Good Wives.
