Who,Sir? Me,sir?


     It was Sam Sylvester, a teacher at Hawkwood school, who started the trouble. Just along the road from Hawkwood there was another school called Greycoats.





Sam is a teacher who wants his class to have ambition, and to do great things in life. So he enters them for a sporting competition against the rich students of Greycoats school...
I like this kind of teachers so I enjoyed reading this book! This book has several pictures, you can understand the situation easily. I recommend this book to people who like school stories.

THE PIANO

''Sir Anthony Evans Plays Liszt.'' The  words above the door of the theatre were a metre high. On the wall there was a big picture of Sir Anthony at the piano. (p1)
                                                                                                              




This book is about a boy who bacame a famous pianist. When he became thirteen, he needed to leave school and work for his family because his family was poor. However his life changed after he left school and started working...
 This book was so interesting among books written in English I have read ever. I want to recommend this book to everyone.

LITTLE WOMEN







     'Christmas won't be Christmas without any present,' said Jo crossly.'It's so awful to be poor!' agreed Meg , looking at her old dress.'It's not right for some girls to have prettythings, and others to have nothing at all,' said little Amy.  'We've got Father and Mother, and each other,' said Beth gently.


The main characters are four sisters they are really sweet girls, because they tried to help person who is in trouble. I inspired by their figures. At the end of the story they became happy.
I can recommend this book to everyone.

Strange science fiction

     Suddenly a light, fifty times brighter than any headlights, shone into the eyes of the driver.



This book has 10 strange science fiction stories. One of my impressive story is ''LET THERE BE LIGHT''. This story is about a couple, and the wife is cheating his husband. The husband  was suspicious about his wife's daily behavior, and he run into his wife and a man was coming out of the cinema together...










I rarely read this kind of books, but I thought this book
was interesting. I reccomend this book those who are intereated in space and science.
