The Secret Garden

 

 Little Mary Lennox is a bad-tempered, disagreeable child. When her parents die in India, she is sent back to England to live with her uncle in a big, lonely, old house.
 There is nothing to do all day except walk in the gardens and watch the robin flying over the high walls of the secret garden...which has locked for ten years. And no one has the key.

 I wonder where their parents. Anyway, each pig decided to build a house keep safe from the big bad wolf. The first pig built a house from straw. The second pig built a house from sticks. But both of house destroyed by a big bad wolf. The third pig built a house from bricks. You see, bricks are heavy and strong. As a result, the three little pigs are safe from a big bad wolf.

All About Island

Hello. Today I'll write about "All About Islands", a level 5 book in Oxford Read and Discover series.

An island can be very small, or it can be big, with mountains, lakes, roads, and cities. Some islands are hot, but others are covered with ice. Some islands have animals and plants that don't live anywhere else. Only about 10% of people live on islands. 

Needless to say, Japan is also island surrounded by the sea. That is we are inhabitants of the island.

Read this book, I was interested in Tropical Islands.

Don't you think it is beautiful? I want to go there. Especially, Coral Islands are attractive. Coral looks like a colorful plant, but it's a very small animal. Also there are many kinds of coral reef animals. For example, starfish, box jellyfish, clown fish and so on.
