BR 2-14:---☆★GALILEO GALILEI★☆---
When I watched TV the other day, it was broadcast about Galileo Galilei, and this book was chosen because I had had the concern then. Moreover, because I had wanted to know, I thought a terrible old person to be a good chance more than now.
Galileo Galilei was an astronomer and physicist who lived in Italy in the 16th century. He was the first person to use a telescope powerful enough to see many of the planets and stars, and he discovered a lot of important facts about astronomy. Galileo is sometimes called the father of modern science, because he was one of the first people to carry out experiments and to use observation to find out about the world around him. Galileo was born in 1564. After finishing school, he studied medicine at the University of Pisa. However he left after four years to become a meth mastics teacher.
In 1589, Galileo returned to University of Pisa to be a professor of mathematics. Then, in 1592, he moved to the University of Padua and worked there fore the next eighteen years. Throughout this time, Galileo studied astronomy and did a lot of scientific experiments.
Galileo was one of the first scientists to use observation that is, to watch something and see what happens. For almost a thousand years, most scientists had been using the ideas of earlier scientists without question. These scientists usually tried to make whatever they saw fit into those old ideas. By using observation and doing his own experiments, Galileo made a lot of important discoveries in both astronomy and opysics. (294 words)
BR 2-13:---☆★Dogs at Work★☆---
I am fond of a lot of dogs very much. I love various dogs from a small dog to the large dog. Therefore I keep small dog's Chihuahua and large dog's Labrador now. Both Chihuahua and Labrador are very cute for me. Moreover I would like to know a lot of dogs about everything, so I selected this book at KGU library. I am going to introduce about this book’s content from now on.
I heard that dogs are often called “people’s best friends”. They make good pets because they are loyal, playful and intelligent. There are different breeds of dogs to suit different people/ Some people like small dogs, while other people like large dogs. Some people like dogs with a lot of energy, while other people like quiet dogs. I know the mind very much.
Guide dogs help people who have major sight problem to move around safely. They help these people become more independent and less reliant on other people. The most common breeds of dogs that are used as guide dogs are Labradors and Golden Retrivers. This is because they are calm, loyal and intelligent.
Hospital dogs are dogs that are companions for people who are in hospital or in homes for the elderly. These people do not always get visitors, or sometimes the visitors they do get cannot come everyday. The company of a dog gives these people something to look forward to. Some hospital dogs live in the hospital or home, while others are taken there for regular visits, The dogs may form an attachment with a patient, or with two or three patients.
A lot of different types of dogs are trained as hospital dogs. They are given practice in an environment full of people and noises. The dogs that work best in this environment then start work as hospital dog. I knew the things for the first time, I respected a lot of wise dogs. Dogs are good and nice animals!!!! (389 words)
BR 2-12: ---☆★Life In The AMAZON JUNGLE★☆---
I would like to learn about Amazon jungle so I selected this book. Moreover I am interested in a lot of animals very much. I am going to talk about what I studied from this book from now on.
It is home to more different species of plants and animals than any other place on Earth over four thousand kinds of trees, three million kinds of insects, five hundred species of mammals, and at least one-third of the world's birds.
Every year scientists discover hundreds of new plants and animals in the Amazon Jungle. No wonder scientists call the Amazon Jungle an amazing treasure trove. I have not known the thing yet.
The Amazon jungle is a tropical rainforest. The temperature stays between twenty and thirty all year round. It rains a lot in tropical rainforests, too. Tropical rainforests all have a huge number of different plants and animals living close together.
The Amazon Jungle changes from the treetops down to the ground. This is because there are four main layers in a tropical rainforest. The trees are so thick at the top of the rainforests that they form a kind of roof, or canopy.
I learned a lot of things by reading this book. There were many things which I had not known things, however I thought that I was glad to learn it now. I want to recommend this book wanting know the jungle in Amazon by all means. (273 words)
