Review of "The Phantom of the Opera" (BR 24)

Above us, we saw the stars in the dark sky. (p. 63)

   There was an Opera House in Paris. The Opera House was so big. There were hundreds of rooms, many corridors, and many cellars, deep under the stage.
   People who work in the Opera House often talked about a phantom in the Opera House. The phantom sits in Box Number 5 every evening. He watched the opera. And, he wanted a programme and he paid for it. But, the seller of tickets and programmes hadn't seen him. Some people had seen him. He wore a black cloak and he wore a white mask on his face.
   Actually, the mysterious man was the musical teacher of one of the opera singer. And he lives underground of the Opera House with the singer. He thought that the singer is his own person.
   One day, a man and an acquaintance of the phantom tried to rescue the singer. The phantom is so clever. So, the rescue was very hard. Finally, the singer was rescued and the phantom died.
   I was so excited to read this story.

Review of "Circle Games" (BR 8)

'Turn like a wheel,' he laughed while he danced with the children. (p. 11)    This book is consisted of five stories. So, I'd like to review one of the stories.    The title of the story is 'Quick Man Tan.' Caleb Tan was a great Chinese dancer and could move like fighters in kung fu films long time ago.    His family, he and his wife and son, has a cafe. His son was a good cook, and cooked all meal of the cafe. And, his wife carried the meal to people came to the cafe. But, Tan didn't work at all.    All he did was telling people his old stories. His family wanted him to work.    But one day, a robber came in to the cafe. He had robbed some things at other places. All people were afraid of the robber, but Tan moved like fighters in kung fu  films and the robber was on the floor. He helped to catch the robber! I thought that Caleb Tan was great. And, all five stories were so interesting. Brennen, Frank. (2005). Circle Games. Cambridge: Cambridge Univ
