book

My favorite book is world soccer digest, world soccer king, and footballista. each of them is soccer magazine. I do not like novels. I do not want to read the books which have long sentences. I like soccer magazine because I love soccer. I like world soccer digest and world soccer king because they always have posters as supplements. I am glad to it. If it is the posters of Fernando Torres, I am so happy. However I like footballista the best now. I like football tactics the best in sport called soccer. Footballista tell me the details of the football tactics. It does not have any supplements, it is the best book for me of all books. The origin which I got to be fond of Fernando Torres is world soccer digest. At that time, the book's cover I bought is him. He was so cool.

BR 1-15: Robinson Crusoe: 116

I read " Robinson Crusoe ". I knew it was masterpiece, but I have never read it. So I tried to do it. In the past time There were a boy named Robinson Crusoe. I thought he was weak at first because he was a boy and he wasn't at all interested in school, or books. But, it changed. A boat was tossed around in the heaving sea and when he was run to an island be the wave, he had to think and do alone. I thought he was stronger and stronger since that time. He became to live a lone. I thought he was very strong at that time. I wanted to be like him.

BR 1-14: POMPEII: 110

I read " POMPEII ". It was an Italian tragedy. I didn't know it. I was interested in it. The city named Pompeii existed in Italy near Mt. Vesuvius. It was a volcano. In the past time, it exploded. I was very sad because in spite of a lot of people ran as fast as they can, they could not finish running away. They were suffered from air with poison and were varied into volcano ash. I didn't know why they had to die in the circumstance such as the tragedy. I thought I had to remember this tragedy because I thought we had to tell it to our children.

BR 1-13: Stories of Dinosaurs: 100

I read  "Stories of Dinosaurs". I was surprised that the dinosaurs can play wrestling and in the competition, the small one beat the big one at the final by making the most of the agility. The battle was exciting. Dino dinner was so unique because most of the menu in the restaurant in the dinosaurs' world its meat was included. Surprisingly, it seems to be included in the desserts. In the book, the egg appeared currently. Amazingly, a dinosaurs was born from it. I thought if they lived in the world currently, it would be scary. I liked this book.

BR 1-12: The Story of Chocolate: 117

I read '' The Story of Chocolate''. I love chocolate. So I was interested in the chocolate's history. As its name, it was the story of chocolate. I didn't know it. I knew that chocolate was secret and the people in central America once upon a time '' drunk'' at the first time. I was surprised at it. I thought the monkeys there were clever because they found it good. I didn't believe that, in the past time, it was very rich because now, I can eat it cheaply and easily. I thought Francis Fry which was an English chocolate maker was so clever because it invent the world's first chocolate bar. I love it.

BR 1-11: Alice in Wonderland: 109

I read '' Alice in Wonderland''. I thought If only the place such the book were in the world. I was surprised that all animals in this book speak language. I wanted to grow and shrink freely. Alice ate cake and drink, but I wondered what they taste. I wanted to eat and drink it. I was very interested in it because I like eating. I thought the book was thought better. I thought the author was wise. The book was unrealistic but actually it was realistic because the story was dream of Alice. So I wondered if it gave children dream or not.

BR 1-10: The Story of CARS: 111

I read ''CARS''. The book was the history of cars. I thought, in the past time, It was so difficult for a lot of people all over the world to carry so heavy loads. But, people thought the easy way. The genius was in the world. He was Leonardo da Vinci. Without him, the history would have not started. I thought he was fantastic. Cars have grown since that time. I thought, a lot of people had repeated uncountable efforts. I thought, they happened many accidents to make the best cars. If they had been in the world,It would be difficult for me to carry so heavy loads and myself.

I read ''Giants''. They were enormous. I was afraid that they tried to eat people. If they were in the world, I would have already died.　But, some of them are kind, so I wished all of them were kind. But I understood even if such the scare ones existed in the world, people could beat them because a boy in the book could beat them. But what I will not be able to beat them because I am cowardly. I want to be brave.I thought this book was very good. So I want to recommend this book to children especially because I want them to be brave.

BR 1-08: Stories of Dragons113

I read Stories of DRAGONS.  I knew some kinds of dragons existed in this book. Dragons which lived in caves, under the sea, in the sky. They were strong and the ones of various shapes and sizes.  I was surprised at the speaking dragons. Then, the dragons were cleverer than I had thought because they could talk with the people, but Stan was cleverer than the purple dragon. He told a lie because he knew he couldn't defeat it. He squeezed a cheese on behalf of a hard stone not to lose the dragon. The dragon couldn't squeeze the stone. This book was interesting. Children will also think it is interesting.

BR 1-07: Stories of Snowmen: 107

This book was snowmen story. Surprisingly, The snowmen in this book moved, but they didn't always move. They moved only at night, because they let people see them. Moreover they had to return to where they was built. I thought they were busy and this book was non-fiction and unbelievable story. I thought If the world was such this story, I should enjoy better there. This story made a lot of children enjoy. I liked this imaginative story. I could understand the feeling which snowmen wanted to be melted. I experienced this feeling. I have made snowmen many times, but they melted the days later.

BR 1-04: Story of Santa: 151

I read " Story of Santa". This story was work of Santa. Santa gives a lot of presents to a lot of good children. I was surprised that Santa worked with some elves in this book. I thought Santa was worked alone, but I made sense because he couldn't be able to do such busy work. a elf out of seven elves, Alfie had the most boring job in the factory. It was sweeping. Santa boomed him because he would often fell asleep on the job. He thought he was unfair. and he thought if he was in a charge of the toymaker. he'd never be bored. Then he made a mistake. He fell in the toymaker. So the machine made a lot of doll of Alfie. Santa was angry, but the dolls became popular. This book included more story. They were The fake Santa. and Santa's day off.

book review 1 :334

       THE STORY OF FOOTBALL is children's book. Story of football is written. Football was born in China over 2000 years ago. Chinese soldier booted balls made of goat fur into a tiny net to improve their aim with weapons hanging high above them.
        A hundred years later, the Roman army also trained with footballs. Their game involved running with a ball and kicking it over the team's line. As the Roman army conquered Europe, they introduced their ball game to new countries.
        Many people think the Romans introduced football to England too, but one story claims it was first played with the head of a Viking Prince. Football which was played between two villages' a lot of people was dangerous. The only thing that wasn't allowed was murder. Mayer of London banned it from the city's streets. But no one listened to him.
         In the 19th century, smaller teams of students began to play football. It was dangerous and had a lot of problems, so, in 1863, students from several schools and universities in England met to decide exactly how the game should be played. The group named themselves the Football Association (F.A.) and their new sport became known as soccer. The name soccer comes from the SOC in Football AsSOCiation.  A lot of rules were made by them.
         In 1823, players pick up the ball and Rugby was born.
        New types of football develop all over the world, including Australian Rules in 1858, American football in 1874, and Gaelic Football in Ireland in 1887.
       The first soccer World Cup kicks off in South America in 1930.
       The first American Football Superbowl is played to decide the top team in the USA in 1967.
       The first rugby World Cup is played in Australia and New Zealand in 1987.
       197 countries enter the 18th soccer World Cup, in Germany. The final is watched by over a billion fans around the world.
