Different WORLDS


Before I was born, my mum played music with four friends. There's a photograph of them in our living room. Evie, Grace, Angela, Kate and my mum. They were the Sweet Pepper Band, and they played South American music. Mum played guitar.


The main character of this story is Sam. She was born deaf, so when she was a little girl, she liked to put her small hand on the front of Mum's guitar while she played it.
-I imaged this situation and felt a little sad, because she can't listen to her mother's real music sound.
She falled in love with Jim: working at a shop across the road from her house. He is really kind man so he don't care about her deaf.

The Fruitcake Special and other stories

 
I never thought I would discover something quite so amaging by accident. I was a chemister at the Amos Cosmetics factory in  New Jersey, USA trying to desighn a new perfume when it happened.(p5)
 
 
 
I read this book bacause I thought the picture on this front cover was beautiful. The main character's name is Anna. when she was trying to creat a new perfume, she put a bite of fruite cake in the material, because she was eating it then. I thought what she did was really strange, but they worked! 
When she was wearing rhis perfume, she attracted guys.
The end of this story, she could get married because of this perfume. I want to know the scent of that perfume.🌼
This book has several stories, The Fruitecake Special is my favorite one!
