          I read A New School written by Jeremy Strong. It was published by Literacy Land.
          This is Ravi and his younger sister, Sunita’s story. Ravi had to look after Sunita at school because it’s her first day at school. When playtime, he went to find Sunita to play with her, but his friends were enjoying themselves, so he wanted to play with them. Then he took her across to some little children, but they didn’t play with, and she became alone. What’s more, playtime had finished still she was alone. She didn’t know where her classroom is, but Donut who is the same class with Ravi help Sunita to go her classroom. Ravi felt ashamed of himself when he knew that happening.
          When I read this book, I understood Ravi’s feeling. I have a brother, so I was often said that you have to look after your brother. I thought it is troublesome to look after my brother, and I often didn’t do so. However, if my brother didn’t come to play with me, I missed him, so I understand Ravi’s feeling. Therefore, I recommend this book for people who have younger brothers or sisters.

          I read A Girl Named Helen Keller written by Margo Lundell. It was published by SCHOLASTIC.
          This is story about Helen Keller. She became deaf and blind because she was sick when she was two years old, but she was bright. However, she began to grow wild. After her sister was born, it was more terrible, so her parents asked to help. One day, Anne Sullivan came to her house as a her teacher. Anne taught spell of doll to spell the word with her fingers into Helen’s hand, but she didn’t understand what she was doing. Anne never gave up and continued teaching. Then she suddenly understood spells and its means. After that, Helen learned to read, write even speak.
          I know name Helen Keller, but I don’t know how she is, so I thought reading it. Then I read this book, I know about them. After I read this book, I thought if everyone doesn’t believe me, only one person believes me, I can do anything. I also thought it is important not to give up when I do something. I was encouraged to read this book, so I want to read this book everyone.

          Now, I will introduce two things how to do that not everyone else knows how to do. One is riding a bicycle, and the other is walking.
          I go to school by bicycle. It takes about forty minutes to go there, so it is boring to simply ride a bicycle. Then I will tell you how to enjoy riding a bicycle that not everyone else knows how to do. The way I tell you now is easy to do. All you have to do is count something. Before that, you have to decide what you count. For example, the number of white car, vending machine, traffic signal and so on. However, if you ride a bicycle for the long time, you had better to add condition such an only right side or left side on the street because it is too difficult to count something. You can find new thing you always can’t notice. This is my how to enjoy riding a bicycle, but it is little dangerous because you may be lacking of power of attention, so be careful when you do this way I introduce.
          Next, I will tell you how to walking that not everyone else knows how to do. I like walking in downtown, especially kamitori and namikizaka, so I often walking there. However, I got tired of the same way, so I came up with this way. It is to go the opposite way the parson who is walking in front of or near me is walking. For example, if the parson who is walking in front of or near me turns right the corner, you turn left the corner. Then, you can find the new way to walk, so it is very fun.
          These are things I come up with how to do that not everyone else knows how to do.
