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 interested in the city’s foods. You never need to be hungry in New York! There are more than 25,000 restaurants, cafes, 'fast food' shops, and food stands in New York's five boroughs. You can find something for everyone from the cheapest the most expensive and you can eat food from every country in the world. But remember - when you buy food in America, in a restaurant or on the street, you usually get a lot! New Yorkers often eat at the delicatessen These food shops sell wonderful sandwiches. There are fast food stands on many streets. These sell food like hamburgers and hot dogs, and drinks like Coca-Cola.

I want to trip there someday.

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

The Tickets

Title:The Tickets FRL 16pages This is the story about misunderstanding. Jimmy who sees Jenny's ticket in Kerry's purse gets angry with Kerry. Jimmy says, "But you're not a good friend"(p. 14)  Kerry was going to return the ticket to Jenny. Jimmy suspected Kerry,and doubted too. I think it is not good to doubt without knowing anything. I believe it is important to trust each other in order to keep a good relationship.

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
