BR 2-09: Daniel Radcliffe

The three children are quickly good friends. (p.7)

I chose this book because I love Harry Potter. I know Daniel Radcliffe as Harry Potter, but I didn't know about him before the role of Harry.

I thought whether the part of Harry was his first work, but it was different. His first job was  David Copperfield. I didn't know the work, but after examining it, seemed to be a famous work. He is great!

I thought Daniel is the right boy for the role of Harry. I love Harry Potter seriese. I read all of them. I am glad to  know that he read the Harry Potter series. And I like Harry, Ron and Hermione. I am glad to know that they are good friends, too.

I want to watch him in a screen, but Harry Potter seriese ended. I pray for his activity from this!

BR 1-10: Audrey Hepburn

He said, "A little sun is shining in her eyes." (p. 3)

I think Audrey Hepburn is very great woman. I know about her because I read a story about her lifetime when I was high school student. I was impressed by it then.

Audrey was very popular actress, but she wasn't proud and arrogant. I think her such point to be splendid.

By the way, there are some pictures on this book. Audrey was very beautiful and cute when she was young. Moreover, her mother was also beautiful. It is assent that a person of the whole world has a crush on her. A picture of "Breakfast at Tiffany's" is popular. I have seen it.

Incidentally, I felt uneasy about James Hanson . He didn't get marry to Audrey. I wanted them to marry. She made an effort for poor people in later years. I want to be a wonderful person such Audrey Hepburn.

BR 1-01: Christmas around the world

A star shone brightly overhead to show everyone where he was.(p. 18)

Christmas is very exciting event for everyone. We enjoy Christmas day, for example, eating a feast, being gived presents and decorating. Christmas day is birthday of Jesus Christ. I went to Luther high school, so I learned about him. I participated Christmas worship. We sang some Christmas songs and watched drama of Jesus's birth. It was very interesting.  I also went carol singing. It was very good experience.

This book tells about Christmas all over the world. Each countries have each habits of Christmas, but every children enjoy Christmas day and Christmas day is filled with love and kind. Christmas is a special day for us.
