BR 16: The magic finger

'What on earth are they doing? They are really asking for it this time!' (p.18)


     To the Gregg family, hunting is just fun, but the girl who lives next door is worried about that. One day, she notices that she has a special power on her finger. She cast a spell on the family and they become ducks because she wants to prevent them from killing animals. The duck family can't hunt and live as usual, so they feel that all lives are equal and important. In the end, the spell is lifted and the family try to protect the environment.
   
     There are many unique characters in this book. I think you can understand this relationships easily. I recommend you to read this book.

     This book is the Oxford bookworms series. Every time I read this series, I can learn the characters' thought and expressions. I'm sure we can expand our vocabulary.

BR 14: Mr Bean

Yes, Mr Bean was a friend now. (p.35)

     Mr Bean is a lay person in the arts field, but there is a wrong negotiation and he has to play a role of a famous museum boss. He goes to America and every time he makes mistakes, he tries to change it into good things. People call him an ugly man or a stupid man, but he doesn't forget to smile and keep good relationships. This is why I chose this book. He also has been thanking a family who takes care of him. I think people have personal traits and diversities. This book shows us how we should make other people happier and face own challenges.


     This book is Penguin Readers series. I think this series has a lot of categories. You can enjoy reading both fiction stories and nonfiction ones.
