BR 1-17 Nelson

Off to sea(P,5)




I was read this book first time. As the stagecoach for Chatham docks started moving, Horatio Nelson jumped on board and gave his father a final wave. At just 12 years old, he was off on his own to join his uncle's warship, the Raisonnable, and about to start a great adventure. "Goodbye!" he yelled from the window. "I'll write soon." Six hours later, the coach arrived at Chatham. Horatio looked around anxiously, hoping to see his uncle, but there was no one to meet him. So he picked up his bag and wandered down the cobbled lane to the docks. It was a bitterly cold morning in March, 1771, and there were boats and sailors everywhere. Feeling thoroughly exhausted after the journey, Horatio plucked up his courage and approached "Please could you help me, sir?" he asked. "I'm looking for the Raisonnable." The officer nodded in the direction of a large ship. "She's moored over there I'll find someone to row you over.　Nelson's body was put in a barrel of brandy to preserve it and taken back to England.


I was read this book first time. I was not this story by now. but, I thought he is a great man. I want to read many books after this.

BR 1-16 Alaskan Ice Climbing

Ice Climbing(p.1)




I was read this book first time. There's only one thing that's certain about the weather in Alaska-it changes all the time! Sometimes there's wind, sometimes there's snow. Sometimes the weather is just fine with lots of sunshine. On one particular day, there's rain and fog all the way from Denali National Park to the town of Talkeetna. There, a group of visitors is planning to fly onto a glacier. They then want to ski down the glacier. But the weather has other plans... The group really wants to get to the glacier to ski. "So, can we go today?" one of them asks. But the answer is not a good one. "Uh, not until the pilots are comfortable with the weather, "replies their guide Colby Coombs. He then explains that the clouds are too low, so the group cannot fly. It's too unsafe.


I was read this book first time. Alaska is very cold state in America. but I want to go Alaska. I want to read many books after this.

Br 1-15 Gladiators

Emperor gladiators(P.42)




I was read this book first time. Admired by men and aborted by women, gladiators were trained fighters who entertained huge crowds in Ancient Rome. The most famous gladiators had large followings of loyal fans, just like football stars today. Dressed to impress in shining metals, with ripping muscles on show, gladiators fought in arenas all over the Roman Empire. They entered to wild cheers from the crowd. Most gladiators were slaves, criminals or prisoners of war, sold to gladiator owners and forced to fight. To keep spectators glued to their seats, they had to fight bravely, risking life and limed every time they fought. But not all fights were to the death. Gladiators were expensive to train and keep, so dead ones were of money.


I was read this book first time. Gladiators is very cool and strong. I want to read many books after this.

BR1-14 Stories of Monsters

Return of the ice monster(P.18)




I was read this book first time. Ben Boggle lay awake in a cold sweat. How could sleep with a monster under his bed? Every evening it was the same story. As soon as switched off his beside light, the monster woke with a snort. All through the night, the creature gurgled in the shadows. Ben had never dared to look under his bed. He was too terrified of what he might see. At school, Ben could hardly keep his eyes open. "Wake up, Ben Boggle" Ben's teacher said. "That's the third time this week you've fallen asleep in class," yelled his teacher. Mr. Grizzle liked people to be awake in his mathematics lessons. Even when he was wide awake, Ben was hopeless with numbers. They were even more difficult when he felt sleepy. Unless Ben could get rid of the monster, Mr. Grizzle would be shouting at him every day.


I was read this book first time. I think he is a very sluggard. I want to read many books after this.

BR1-13 The House of Shadows

The house7s secrets(P.28)




I was read this book first time. Shirts and shoes went flying as Ned and Kit Light rushed around packing their things. Tomorrow, they were moving house and there was still so much to do. On the doormat lay an envelope with an exotic stamp, addressed to the light family. Mr. and Mrs. Light were very confused. They had no idea why they were needed in Mythika. In the morning, Mr. and Mrs. Light had just enough time to drop Kit and Ned at the new house, before driving on to the airport. With all their boxes unpacked, Ned, Kit and Scruff the dog found themselves alone. From nowhere, an old man appeared. inside, the house was dark and damp. A stale smell clung to the old fashioned furniture and dusty portraits hung on every wall.


I was read this book first time. This book is a dreadful story for me. I want to read many books after this.
