Gulliver's Travels in Lilliput

   I read “Gulliver's Travels in Lilliput.”  I knew this story, but I didn't know the name of the island that Gulliver traveled. This island people is very little. They can stand on Gulliver's hands.
   Gulliver didn't know Lilliput language, and Lilliput people taught Gulliver their language. The language called Lilliputian. Gulliver learn very quickly, and he can talk to the little people. I think that he is very clever.  I study English for six years, but I can't speak English well. I want to speak well like Gulliver.
    I like this story.

The Adventure Capital OF THE WORLD

     I read "The Adventure Capital OF THE WORLD".This book is written about adventure sports in Queenstown, New Zealand. New Zealand has a lot of adventure sports, and bungee jumping is very popular. It is a sport in which people jump from a high place with a special rope. People jump from an altitude of 134meters. It is so fearful. Maybe, I can't do that.
     New Zealand is famous for a jetboat. It doesn't have a propeller or rudder, so it can operate in very shallow water. Although I don't want to jump from a high place, I want to ride a jetboat.

The Lost temples of the Maya

I read "The Lost temples of the Maya." This book is wrritten about the Maya. I don't know about the Maya in detail, and I was surprised at Maya's a year. Maya's calendar contained 13 months consisting of 20days each for a tmtal of 260days. This is different from Japanese . I would like to learn about the Maya.

    I read Let me Out!   This book is written about the relation between a human being and a robot.
    John made a robot , Nolan. It can speak and understand what he said. It is very smart robot.
    Nolan likes cleaning his apartment. It likes John. But he said it " you are robot, and you don't have feelings, so it is impossible for you to like me."  Nolan couldn't understand what he meant.
    Nolan tried its best for John, but John don't understand its effort and he always love his dog, Sam. Finally Nolan was angry and killed Sam and John.
    I think that this story shows me robots have feelings.
If John considered Nolan, they didn't reach such sad end.

COOKING a short review

  This book is written about solar cooking.
Solar cooking is using solar power to cook food, so it is not using the fire.
  A solar cooker is helpful when the air temperature is not very hot. It can be used to cook meat, fish, grains and vegetables. Of course, it don’t use the fire.
If we don’t need the fire to cook, deforestation decreases, so solar cooker saves a forest. And it saves not a forest but lives. It shows us water that is safe to drink.
   We should notice the importance of the way of solar cooking.

Impression

   I read a Sherlock Holmes. There is two stories. The first story is  a bank robbery, and the second story is the examination paper. I think that both are interesting, and I like the first story better than the second story, because it is complicated story and Holmes's deduction is wonderful. He can deduce the case just to hear about it. He can notice that everybody couldn't notice.
If I am him, maybe, I can't notice that Spaulding was making a tunnel.
 I read a book written in English for the first time, and it is difficult for me, but I could enjoy reading it.
