Deserts by Janet Hardy- Gould

      This week I read "Deserts" by Janet Hardy-Gould. This book is written about desert. I will tell about my findings of the book.  When you find a photo of a desert in a book, it is usually a very hot, dry place with a lot of yellow sand and no animals or people. Is this a true picture of deserts across the world? The answer is yes – and no. Deserts are, of course, very dry – a desert has under 25 centimetres of rain every year. In some deserts there is no rain for a very long time. Some deserts are hot for only part of the year, with very cold winters. And hot deserts can be very cold at night.  When people think about of a desert, they often think of a place with no hills or mountains. But across many of the world’s deserts you can find tall mountains.  Life in deserts, with their changing temperatures, warm winds and dry weather, can be very difficult. But you can find people in every hot desert across the world. Some people in Arabian Desert walk or drive for many days

ONE-WAY TICKET SHORT STORIES by Jennifer Bassett

      This week I read "One-Way Ticket" by Jennifer Bassett.   There are several short stories in this book, and I will introduce one of them.  "The Girl with Green Eyes" describes what passengers talk about on the train.   There were seven people in the carriage. There was the man in the brown hat; the young man and his wife, Julie; a mother and two children; and a tall dark man in an expensive suit.  There are many expressions about the eyes in this story. The conversations of the passengers were normal and not particularly interesting, but the explanation of the eyes made it interesting to see what they were thinking. I quote one sentence. These are the words that the mothers of the children in this story said. ‘People don’t always need words, young man,’ This word was very impressive. I recommend this book. The reason is that different readers enjoy this story differently. I enjoyed the depiction of the eyes, but others may enjoy their conversation. Please read

New York by John Escott

 This week I read New York by John Escott. This book is written about  New York city. More than twenty million people from all over the world visit New York every year. Most of them say, 'It's the most exciting city in the world!’ It was written about 9.11. On 11 September, 2001 9/11' to Americans- everything changed. At 8.46 a.m. on that day an American Airlines plane crashed into the North Tower of the World Trade Center. Seventeen minutes later, at 9.03 a.m., a United Airlines plane crashed into the South Tower. Nobody can forget 9/11. People all across the world watched on TV and saw the last minutes of the two big towers. Thousands of people died in and near the Center. Today this place is called Ground Zero. Many visitors to New York like to go there and remember 9/11. It is one more story - one of the unhappiest stories- from this city. When this incident was happened, I was 0 years old. I learn about this when I was in elementary school on television programs. I int

London by JOHN ESCOTT

 This week I read London by John Escott. It describes the history of London, the famous building, and the royal family.  As I read on, I wanted to go to London. Here are some things that interest me. The first is the Great Fire of London. A pandemic in London in 1665 killed more than 100,000 people. The following year, in 1666, the Great Fire of London broke out. At that time, most of the houses were made of wood, so the city was burned down. The fire did not go out for four days. Most of the old buildings were destroyed. I didn't know this big incident. London, which is now one of the most famous cities in the world, suffered such damage about 350 years ago. I think it was difficult to build the current magnificent buildings and cityscape from there.  Next is the national portrait gallery. It's located in St Martin, where you can see pictures of famous people. There are pictures of world-famous figures such as kings, queens, and William Shakespeare. I want to see it. I will be
