Superbird


He lived in the hospital and this was the first time he had been in the desert in twenty years. ( p.42)

I introduce Superbird, a book in the Cambridge English Readers Level 2 series.This genre is Science Fiction.

Superbird is the name of a spaceship. The spaceship crashed on a planet and a lot of people died. However, there was only one person who was alive. Her name is Mary. Mary answered to interview and we can see the situation about her experience through her interview.

I think the interesting points in this book are interview style and pictures. Some pictures are a little bit strange, but thanks to the pictures, we can imagine the situation.

Martin Luther King

Equality, peace, and love are in the hearts and minds of many people today. (p.40)
  Do you have a dream?
  I introduce "Martin Luther King", a book in the Penguin Readers Level 3 series. This is a book about Martin Luther King's life. As you know, he is famous for a phrase,  "I have a dream". He fight for black people and overcame a lot of difficult things. Then many people are influenced by him.

 There is my favorite phrase in this book. It is "The color of a person's skin did not matter. Only a person's heart and mind were important." This is King's speech. King taught me the importance of equality and having a fare mind.

 In the world, there are many people and they have different appearances, ideas and points of view. It is not bad thing and all people are the same human. I think it is important to accept and respect each other.

Through this book, I learned having goals or dreams give us a vitality. I want to clarify my goal and make an effort to realize the goal. Never give up!!!

 First, “Just be nice”.  
In this part, it is written that we are not in competition with everybody else. After I read this phrase, I thought it is not needed to compare to other people and me.
