Matilda -- Week 4

Much to my regret, I changed the book to read because it is difficult for me to read Anne of Green Gables. There are oldish expressions that I cannot understand and many words that I don't know in it. However, Anne of Green Gables is a really wonderful book, so I will study English harder to try again in the near future.

Now I am reading Matilda by Roald Dahl. I love his books because they are so amusing. When I was a high school student, I read The Witches and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory written in English. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is his masterpiece because this book was made into a film. When I was a child, I also read Matilda written in Japanese. This book threw me into ecstasies and I read it repeatedly, so this is my favorite book.

Let's introduce a synopsis of Matilda. Matilda is a sweet, five-year-old genius with horrible. However, her parents look upon her as nothing more than a scab. At school she gets along well with her classmates, but there is Miss Trunchbull who is two hundred pounds of kid-hating headmistress and torments many students. In short, this is the thrilling revenge story of Matilda who fights against tyrannical and high-handed adults with brains.

I would like to enjoy reading it.

Anne of Green Gables -- Week 3

I am reading Anne of Green Gables by L.M. Montgomery. When I was twelve years old, I read this book written in Japanese for a book report. I loved Anne and her fancy world because she gave me a dream and courage. I admired her life, so I kept thinking I would like to read the book written in real language, English sometime.

Let's introduce a synopsis of Anne of Green Gables. Eleven-year-old Anne Shirley has never known a real home because she is an orphan. When she is sent by mistake to live with Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert at the snug white farmhouse called Green Gables, she wants to stay forever. But she is not the sturdy boy whom Matthew and Marilla were expecting. She is a mischievous talkative redheaded girl with an enormous imagination. All she has ever wanted is to belong somewhere. And the longer she stays at Green Gables, the harder it is for anyone to imagine life without her.

There is my favorite words in Anne of Green Gables. The words is that “Marilla, isn't it nice to think that tomorrow is a new day with no mistakes in it yet ?” The words that Anne said always encourage me, so I decided to title my blog “Tomorrow is a new day.”

I want to enjoy Anne's world and learn an important thing from this book.
