BR 2-10: Big Tracks, Little Tracks - Following Animal Prints (Millicent E. Selsam, 1995)



"Tracks are good clues for a nature detective" 

I think animal tracks are very interesting. Our tracks are almost shoes tracks, but animals tracks have a lot of forms each animals. For example, 4 fingers, triangle form, or round form.

When I slept in the afternoon at veranda some day, suddenly I waked up, unique tracks left something on my T-shirts. This tracks was very small. Also, this was three lines. I was so amazing. After that, I asked my father, he says, "This tracks is a sparrow's tracks." I knew  sparrow's tracks for the first time.

Track form of animals is their identity, I think. Their tracks have various individuality. I want to pay attention next time if I find animal's tracks.

BR 2-09: The Planets In Our Solar System (Flanklyn M. Branley, 1981)


"Earth is the most important planet to you"

Today's world solar system is advancing. Especially, Japanese technology is very advanced. I think people will go to other planet in the future.

When I was child, my dream was to be a astronaut. This cause was to want to go to the moon like Sailor Moon. I love Sailor Moon. This comic is just fiction, but I think that this dream is very important.

The reason which people wish for other planet is just dream like me. Just dream is not just dream. Maybe, in near the future, with progressing technology more and more, we will be able to get dream.

BR 2-08: Halloween (Margaret Lo, 2003)


"Trick or Treat!"

Halloween is may be rooted in Celtic Christianity. This event's purpose was cerebration of harvest in autumn and to cast out evil spirits. However, today's event is cosplay festival in Japan. A lot of people wear unique fashion. 

I joined Halloween party for the first time when I was a 2nd grade in junior high school. My English teacher hold Halloween party in my class. I wore headband of evil's horn. I really enjoyed this event. My friends was very happy too.

I like this event, but I hadn't know this event's purpose. After I read this book, I changed my thought about Halloween. When I join this event for the next time, I want to pray for these cerebration.

If other person have different things to me like this lion and the mouse, I should accept all. For example, if I met other person who has different ideas, I should receive at first then. After that, I tell the other person my opinions. By this book, I can study.

TH 2-0d: Good and bad points about summer (2014.09.07)



Today, I will talk about good and bad points about summer. I think summer is very good season. The reason is three. The first, we can play a lot of things in summer. For example, we ca swim in the sea, enjoy activity, and eat ice sweet! The second reason, in summer, there are a lot of event, for example, firework festival, summer festival, and more things. I like event! The last reason, we can keep our health because summer is warm. However, summer have bad points too. I think summer's bad point is to increase exposure. In summer, we wear cool clothes, so we have to keep body line. I feel pressure for it.
