BR 2-18: A REAL WINTER

Do you know dog sledding? I didn’t know that. I think that it is not well-known in Japan. However, Dog sledding is a popular spot in parts of the United States and Canada. Even high school students take part in this the contest. It is difficult to take part in the contest for the general people, because the contest takes place in the state of Oregon, which is in the Cascade Mountains. There is so cold. It could not imagine how is there cold, when I found the information about site. I live in Japan, and Kumamoto is particularly a temperate climate. Therefore, if I take part in the contest, I can’t bear the cold of the winter there. Anyway, I would like to watch the contest someday.

BR 2-16: The Old Women Who Lived In A Shoe

It is a very funny and interesting story. When I read the book first time, I think why the old woman had so many children? However, I found that I must not have a question when I read fairy stories. I recommend the scene that the old woman meets a huge giant. When she met a huge giant, he needed the help. She was a very kind woman, so she helped him. The giant gave her to his shoes as a token of his gratitude. She was so pleased that she could get new shoes, because she was in trouble what she didn’t have a quiet place in her house. Finally, she and her children live happily. I would like to read this book when I depressed mind.
