BR 2-15: This is new york

New York is the biggest city in the United States of America. More than eight million people live and work in New York. Another ten million people live very near. Many of these people work in New York. New York is one of most important cities in the world.  It is a center for business. It is a center for music and art.(p.4)

Every one know the name of New York, but I think they don't know what is in New York, how was New York formed, and attraction of New York. These things are written in the book "This is New York." I have been thinking that I want to go New York all he way. When I am reading the book, I feel like that  I am traveling New York, so please read it, if you want to go New York.

BR 2-14: The quest

At last the fishing net lay in the bottom of the boat. Lek stepped forward and open the net. He picked up the blue and wight thing. It was a plate. Lek started to laugh. 'We've caught a plate- an old plate! Shall I throw it back into the sea?' he asked Daeng. 'No, no, wait a minutes!' said Daeng. 'Give it to me.' He looked at the plate carefully. 'I saw a picture of a plate like this in the news paper,' he said. 'The plate was very old. It was worth a lot of money.'

  This book 'The quest' is the longest story that I read. But it is easy to read and very interesting for me. I read it while watching Kouhaku-utagassen. 

  Do you like treasure hunting story? I like it, and I often try to read it. This time, the story related with mystery and suspense. After read it, I thought that If I were Mark Blackburn, I couldn't help bad people like him. When someone get into trouble, I want to save them like him even if them try to kill myself.
