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)

BR 2-011:---★☆The African Crasslands☆★---
I am fond of a lot of animals very much. Therefore I selected this African animal’s book. I am going to introduce you the things what I learned from this book.
The African grasslands are cloth to the equator, where it’s hot all year. A lot of kinds of plants and animals live in the African grasslands. Food links all living things in this habitat, and together all these links make up a food chain.
Various animals need food for their energy, however the animals are not able to make their own food. Animals get their food from plants or from other animals that eat plants. So animals which live in Africa are called consumers.
Many plant-eating animals have body parts that help them get food. The giraffe uses its long neck to reach the high leaves of the acacia trees. Other animals cannot reach this high.
Elephants are huge animals and need lots of food. They have long trunks that are good for reaching and grabbing food. They also have teeth and strong jaws that are good for crushing plants. They eat grass, flowers, leaves, and bark.
Predators are the third link in the food chain. They are called secondary consumers because they get their food from eating other animals.
Lions prey on animals that are not as fast as them, like wildebeest, zebras and antelopes. They have pointed teeth to grip and tear their prey.
Because I read this book, I could learn a lot of things which I have not ever known things. So I recommend everyone who know about various animals. (273 words)
BR 2-10:---★☆Unusual Hobbirs☆★---
I think that hobbies are very fun things that people like to do in their spare time. A hobby is able to be anything from playing a game or a sport, to making or collecting things, or having a special interest in some area.
There are a lot of kinds of special interest hobbies, which are able to bring together groups of like-minded people.
Moreover I think that it is very important and essential for everyone to have various hobbies which we would like to do. Recently, I started to think that I would like to increase my hobbies and I ought to challenge which I want to do now!!
Whatever happens, I try to do my best more and more!!! (127 words)
BR 2-09:---★☆Helping Out☆★---
After I read this book, I think that to help other people and around person is very important for everyone. Moreover I thought that how matter when I am tired, I ought to help around people every time. I am going to introduce you about this book’s story from now on.
I think that we always do unpaid work. Unpaid work is work that people do without getting paid for it. Everybody does these unpaid works. For example, there are to iron clothes, cleaning the kitchen and so on.
Communities could not operate if people did not do unpaid work. A lot of needy people would not get help. This is because communities cannot afford to pay people to do all the jobs that are needed. Even a household could not operate if people did not unpaid work-like vacuuming the carpet.
Home duties are unpaid jobs that are done at own home. Home duties also involve tasks like cleaning the house, washing the car and mowing the lawn. Some households pay someone to do these tasks for them. However, in most households, people do not have enough money to pay other people to do their home duties.
Moreover there are also various volunteers in unpaid work. Volunteers are people who do a job for the satisfaction of helping others. Volunteers do many different types of jobs.
