  In 1825, I was ten years old. My father and mother were dead. I lived with my aunt and uncle, Mr and Mrs Reed. Their house was called Gateshead Hall.(p.8) The main character has no parents and no money. So she feels lonely. However she found a good person and got a real love.  I think it was good for her. I recommend the story. But it was a little long. Eyre, Jane(2005) Jane Eyre. New York : E.P. Dutton & Co

  The year was 1661. It was a warm summer night. Aramis, the Bishop of Vannes, arrived at the terrible Bastille prison, in Paris. A guard met him at the gate.(p.6) I read the story and learned the importance of cooperation. The musketeers act for all af them and all for them. The adventure of them was thrilling. I recommend this story but it is very difficult to read. Dumas, Alexandre(2005). The Man in the Iron Mask. Oxford : Macmillan Heinemann ELT

  It's hot. The sun is shing. The sky is blue. The hot sun is shinig in the blue sky. Jen lives in Australia. Jen and her friends are not at college today. It is the weekend.(p.2)   The man and woman visited to the sea and saw a dolphin. So, I want to see a wild dolphin. The dolphin helped the man because a shark tried to eat him. Before the happning, the woman helped the dolphin. So the story is about repaying I thought. Axten, Sarah(2005). Blue Fins. Oxford : Macmillan Heinemann ELT

  This is the Captain of the ship. He is in his cabin. He is writing  in the ship's log book.(p.4)  The captain and his men found the strange ship. I think we can't  experience the situation ahead. So the book is very strange I think. In addition, the book is easy to read. So, I want to recommend this book. Colbourn, Stephen(1989) The Lost Ship Oxford : Macmillan Heinemann ELT

  It was the year 1775. A coach was going from London to Dover. The road was wet and muddy. The horses pulled the heavy coach slowly.(p.8)   This story is about the past story. At that time, many wars were happened. Some countries were fighting. Because of them, many people felt dangerous. THe main character and his family faced dangers too. From this, I thought that peace is the most important for us. Charles, Dickens(1997). A Tale of Two Cities. Oxford University Press.

  The year was 1804. The place was Wessex, in the south of England. Britain was at war with France. For ten years, the two countries had been fighting. There had been no battles in Britain. (p.7)   It is a surprising story because three men loved the same woman. I think that she was very attractive. However, it was cruel because the woman had to choose a man. In addition, I want to recommend the story. Hardy, Thomas(2005). The Trumpet-Major. Oxford:UK.
