BR 2-01: Bertha

"Black cars always look good" (Mitchell & Chambers, p. 6).

I chose this book because this book is written about a car. I have a driver's license, so I was interested in cars.

First of all, Bertha is name of a car. One family was talking about a car. Their car was getting old, so they were choosing a new car. However, they had each opinions about a color. Their colors were pink, purple, black and yellow. By the way, I don't have my car because I think I don't drive much now, so maybe I'm going to buy a car two years later. Also, my older sister lives in Osaka, and her car stays in my house, so I'm able to drive it. If I buy my car, I would like to choose a black car, because the color is one of my favorite color. Also, I think I never tire of looking. Then in this book, one family tried out cars. After that, I was impressed in the last. Also, I thought that this story was convincing.

This story is short, but I think that it is good story, so I recommend you this book. You will be heart-warming.

I went to display of fireworks with my family in Shiranui. I live in Shiranui, but I went there after a long time. There were a lot of people. Also, I went to display of fireworks only once in this year, so it is special for me. Then the fireworks were very beautiful and cute. Also, there were a lot of pattern, so I was able to enjoy view them. I was absorbed in seeing. Especially, I like big fireworks and colorful fireworks. Then I tried to take a picture, but it was difficult. I would like to take a picture some other time. However, I was glad to see fireworks.

Good and bad points about summer

Summer is very hot, but I think that summer is easy to spend better than winter. That's good point of summer, I think. By the way, it is already the middle of September, but even so especially this year is still very hot, I think. Sometimes it is too hot. That's bad point of summer, I think. However, a morning or a night are becoming cooler these days, so it is able to spend a comfortably, and I am glad. I like summer, but I want the weather to be cooler as soon as possible. I would like to enjoy the each season.

How I study during the vacation

I have to study English during the summer vacation too. However, I am not studying English very much, so typing homework is very good for me. Then I often listen to western music, but I can not catch the words of a song. It is difficult for me, but I would like to catch it. Then I think that my weak points of English are especially listening and speaking, so I am going to listen to music or English conversation many times. Also, I am going to study Korean, so I bought the book. I would like to do my best both of English and Korean.
