Review of "One Day" (BR 21)

Moreland Road is a street in the city of Bath, England. (Introduction)

   It was just a normal Friday evening in Moreland Road.
Jason's mother was calling him, but he was listening to music.
Nina had some news but wasn't sure how to tell her husband about it.
Maggie had a smile on her face as she thought about her holiday in Chile.
Sam looked a bit worried - but then Sam always looked worried.
   Some people or families who live in Moreland Road had problems such as about interpersonal relationships, money, jobs and so on.
   Sometimes the problems had difficult situations. People felt that they could  solve the problems.
   Then, after a long time, some of the problems were solved, and others weren't solved.
   I thought that the last of the story was so shocking, but interesting, too.

Review of "Jack and the Westbourne Fair"

The Westbourne Fair is coming to town and it is Jack's favourite moment of the year. But when he gets into trouble at school his parents say that he can't go to the fair. Jack decides to go to the fair anyway and he learns that there are more important things in life than having fun. I read "Jack and the Westbourne Fair." This book was written by Martyn Hobbs. And this book was published by Helbling Languages in 2009. This book is a part of "Helbling Readers 2."

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

He sells customers from birds to snakes.    In fact, Dionne, Curtis's sister and Ellis's wife, has a terrible disease and has to go to the hospital. Ellis saved money for her, but he couldn't save enough money to go to the hospital. So, he sells his customers snakes that isn't allowed to bring to the country. And then, he was threatened by one of the curtomers who bought the illegal snake, and had to sell cocaine.    Nat helped them so smartly. Ellis and Dionne could have a usual, safe life. C
