When we picked up my grandmother, we went to Food Company, and we had a lunch. We talked recently things so much, it was very interesting. After we did the shopping, we said good-bye. I had a happy time!
Second, I had worked yesterday, I was very tired. Many people came to the restaurant, I was very busy. But a funny happing happened. When I was carrying dishes, a child talked to me, but I couldn’t hear the story. So, the child followed me, and there was next door to me. The guests of the table were very surprised and much chuckled, I also smiled at him.　After I carried dishes, he talked to me so fast, so I couldn’t understand the content (>_<) His smile was very cute, I had wanted to see the face.

BR03: A Rat for Mouse

‘After that, Mouse’s rat went everywhere with him. He shared Mouse’s meals.’

This book was too difficult for me to write a book review, but I have to write it, so I’ll tell my impression. First, Mouse is main character in this book. His sister is Jojo, she had a hamster, Jumbo. Everyone thought he was sweet and funny, but Mouse was very keen on him. Mouse wanted another pet, so they went to ask their mum. The next day, Mouse and Mr. Macdonald took Mouse to the pet shop, and Mr. Macdonald thought Mouse would choose another rabbit. But Mouse did not want another rabbit, he nothing seemed quite right. But then Mouse saw the rat, he cried ‘This is what I want!’ The shopkeeper said ‘That rats made very good pets, they were clean and clever. A rat was a one-person pet, he would love his owner and never hurt him, but he would probably not let other people pick him up’. After they chose a cage, they got home, and Mouse was very excited. As soon as he got home, he let to watch the rat. When mum saw it, her mouth fell open. Mouse called his rat Ricky. Third, he had to be very brave, because sometimes Ricky opened his mouth and put his teeth round Mouse’s finger. His teeth were long and yellow. I thought the shopkeeper was a liar in the time! Ricky went everywhere with him, they were like closed friends. One day, happened a problem. When the friends were watching television, Ricky took Ben’s biscuit. Without thinking, Ben made a grab for him. Then the rat spun round and bit Ben’s finger, Ben let out a yell. Mrs. Macdonald made said, ‘Perhaps a rat isn’t a good pet after all.’ Mouse was angry; he said ‘Ben should not have grabbed him like that.’ Ben agreed, and said ‘I just forget.’ After that, no one forgot again, everyone was a bit scared of Mouse’ rat, and they thought he was fierce and dangerous. But Mouse adored him. I thought this story was ironic. This book was too difficult for me to understand the content, but this book was interesting for me.

BR01: Dogs

Dogs have an amazing sense of smell. They can tell more about something by smelling it than by looking at it.(page 18)

I like dogs so much since I was a child, so I chose this book. I think the book very cute when I saw it first time. The book teaches me characteristics of dogs. First, dogs have the area it is called its territory, dogs bark when strangers come near. And, dogs wet around their territory to leave their smell behind, I knew the fact because my dog does it. Second, dogs like to dig fun, but a mother wild dog digs a deep hole is called a den. She crawls inside to have her pups, and the pups live inside the den. I think a mother dogs reliable so much. Third, a kind of dog called a border collie is often used as a sheepdog, I didn’t know it. They will start training when it is six months old. Finally, there are sled dogs, dogs to find people who are lost on mountain, and dogs are trained to help people who can’t hear or see very well. They help people to live; I think it is very awesome.
I think dogs are necessary for people, I want to know about dogs more.
