He was born in Dublin, Ireland whose language is on the verge of extinction, so he learned to revive an endangered language. His research has focused on many aspects of literacy development in multilingualism school contexts. Especially, he studied the relationship between L1 and their developing proficiency in the dominant languages of instruction. We learned L1 in the class of teacher Yoshii, so I remembered a little. I think we learned as follow. the further and further the distance between L1 and L2 is, more and more difficulty we have in study .<br />
In this material, the them is about the benefit of learning different languages and minority language in bilingualism. There were contradiction among studies about the benefits. In the early studies, researchers pointed out the negative cognitive and academic consequences associated with bilingualism. However, in more recent studies, researchers reported the potential cognitive benefits of bilingualism. But, he resolved it by proposing two achievements of students. <br />
1) to avoid the negative effects associated with instruction through a weaker language<br />
2) to experience the enhancement of cognitive and linguistic functioning that knowledge of two or more languages confers on the developing child.<br />
Then, he referred to some studies to correct the recognition about minorities. Minorities students are not different from majorities. However, minority students ad been unfairly tested and labeled as deficient in terms of their capacities, background, and environment.<br />
These are so difficult for me, but when I knew the meaning, I thought how interesting the world of education was.KAKAhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08597720374287195761noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-742214422143145127.post-22385138888059645202019-12-16T18:34:00.003+09:002020-01-20T14:53:27.509+09:00English teaching method:<blockquote class="tr_bq">

Absorbing many vocabularies makes our working memory strong</h4>

<br />
An apple a day keeps the doctor away... I didn't know this phrase, so I had to construct the sentence after I heard the word. But, after I remembered it completely, the sentence changed into a word. So, When I tried to say "an apple a day keeps the doctor away" for the first time, I had to remember 4phrases. an apple/a day/ keeps the doctor /away/ But, After I remembered the proverb, I had to memorize 2 words when I said "I think an apple a day keeps the doctor away. So, "I think "was one phrase and "an apple a day keeps the doctor away"was another phrase.<br />
The longer the sentence, the fewer I have to memorize...This is like a magic. I was amused at it, and I introduced it to one of my friends who doesn't take this lecture by LINE.<br />
<br />
<br />
I: Hi, 〇〇〇, I have a question.<br />
<br />
<br />
B:なぜ英語??(Why English??)<br />
<br />
<br />
I: What do you think makes people easier when it gets longer and longer?<br />

<div style="border-image: none;">
I:What???</div>

After that, I explained it to her, and she understood. She had never thought like that. But, if we memorize words more and more, our working memory is better and better. That fact will be a big motivation for us. In fact, I have been shocked and tired in the endless problems of memorizing vocabularies: more and more I tried to memorize words, more and more I have some new words. But, I changed my mind. More and more I know some English phrase, easier and easier I can make lomg and complicated sentences. Now, we have a fun in memorizing English vocabularies. </div>

Since I was a high school student, I am weak at the world history. So, before I read this book, I was no nervous. I prepared my dictionary and a history text book of my high school on the desk. Then, I started reading. This book is written in the style where a main character tells letters to her maid, Margaret. the letters were from the wives of Henry Ⅷ. so, the readers can be Margaret and know the story of the famous king. Therefore, this book is easy to read and interesting!</div>
King Henry the Eight of England was famous for many thing, especially for two things. First, he is so famous for the religious reform. He founded the Anglican Church to divorce his first wife. Second, he is famous because he had six wives. This book mainly talks about it. <br />
His first wife was Katherine of Aragon. She was Spanish, and she came over to England to marry Henry's brother Arthur. But he died, and she married Henry then. She became his wife and queen for twenty-four years. But, Henry wanted a son for his heir. Katherine gave him a daughter, Princess Marry. Henry divorced her and was in love with Ann Boleyn. Of course, the Pope of the Catholic Church didn't agree to the divorce. So Henry broke with the Pope and the Catholic Church, and that's how the Church of England began. He became Head of the Church, and the Pope was very angry. That made a lot of trouble both in England and Europe. at that time, there were a lot of fighting and killing, and that was such a terrible time. Henry wanted a son a lot not to cause such a thing again after his death. He must have a son, and he decided to marry again. However, she only game him a daughter, Princess Elizabeth. And he was tired of her because she was a strong and tried to tell Henry what to do. He beheaded her on the grounds that she had lovers. Just ten days after Ann's death, Henry married Jane Seymour. Henry loved her and she gave him a son, who is know as King Edward now. Henry got a son at last, but Jane died after she gave the king a son. Then, after Queen Jane died, Henry was very sad and lonely. He wanted a new wife, and he wanted a second son. Children can die at any time, and Edward wasn't strong. So, everybody looked for a beautiful woman and Ann of Cleves was recommended at that time. Henry didn't see her for himself, ans his artist Holbein was sent to paint a picture of her. He painted a fine picture of Ann and sent it back to Henry. The picture was so beautiful that he was surprised when he saw her really. She was different from the pretty picture. He divorced her soon, but she didn't protect against that. Then, after that, he still wanted to have a son, and he married Katherine Howard. He was in love with the young and beautiful girl. But, Katherine had a lover called Thomas Cuipeper and met him secretly. Henry knew that and got very angry, so sent her lover to prison, and killed katherine. Then, the last wife Parr, the main character of this book. Margaret hear the story her lade married the king. At that time, Henry didn't want a wife but a mother for his children. Catherine was nice to the children, but she was nearly killed by his husband. But she could be forgiven and can say the story to her maid then. <br />
When I read this book, I was Margaret. And I was so shocked. The letters from his wives are so surprising and miserable. After all, even if we know the history, the person's feeling is only known by themselves. You will be surprised at the difference between the historical knowledge and the letters!<br />

<div style="border-image: none;">
<div style="border-image: none;">
<div style="border-image: none;">
When I read the first sentence of this book, this book asked us what 'Hollywood' is. In my case, I thought that Hollywood is about movies. But, it is not true. Hollywood is not only famous for films. It is an important place for the music, television, and radio. Therefore, if you group Hollywood as films, you will get new knowledge through this book.</div>
</div>
</div>
<div style="border-image: none;">
<div style="border-image: none;">
<div style="border-image: none;">
Hollywood is a place in California in the west of the big city of Los Angeles. It is a big city, and about 2 million people live there. The word "Hollywood"points to not only the place but also films, movie stars, and movie industries. That is, the definition of "Hollywood" is wide! But, in the early 1900s, Hollywood was a small village and not famous yet. In 1910, the first film maker visited Hollywood and studio are opened. By the 1920s, Hollywood was more famous for movies.<br />
So, the history of "Hollywood" is so old. The time when moving picture was invented dates back to 19 century. Many company competed in the field, and who could watch this moving pictures was limited. So, "movie" was special and particular still at that time. It was the late nineteen century when Movie had generalized. When many people got to be able to watch movies, the popular movie was silent movies. One of the most famous silent movie acts was Charles Chaplin. I like "<em>Modern Times</em>", and I know him. But this book says that very popular silent movie character of Chaplin was "The Tramp". I didn't know the movie, but I thought that Tramp must be an attractive character because Chaplin played the role. And, as time passed, silence movie were replaced by talkies. In 1927, a movie attracted people's attention. Across the United State, film directors and newspapers mentioned it, and everybody wanted to see it. What do you think it is? It is a big Hollywood movie, "<em>The Jazz Singer</em>". People who went to see it could hear the actor's voices. So, voices is important point. It was one of the first 'talkies' and changed the movie world. Many producers stopped making silent movie since then. It was a big pinch for silent movie actors. Many actors lost their jobs. Then, color movie like "<em>Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs</em>"appeared and the world of movie had changed again. </div>
</div>
</div>
<div style="border-image: none;">
<div style="border-image: none;">
<div style="border-image: none;">
Like this, the movie world has changed so many times. And now, we rarely see silent movie. As I said before, I like "<em>Modern Times</em>". The movie has no voices but it conveys many messages through actors and actress to us. So, I hope more silent movies are made. By the way, Do you see Friday Roadshow? I sometimes enjoy it. I often see works of Studio Ghibli. I am so happy when I can watch them on TV, but I think that sometimes silent movie should be on air. </div>
</div>
</div>
<div style="border-image: none;">
<div style="border-image: none;">
<div style="border-image: none;">
Of course, the history is also important, but the present also should be referred to! Now, many people enjoy experiencing the world of movie. Have you been to Universal Studio? It is a working film studio near Hollywood and there are many things to do and see. Families and tourists visit there and sit on a little train and then go through different places from famous movies.</div>
</div>
</div>
<div style="border-image: none;">
<div style="border-image: none;">
<div style="border-image: none;">
Oh, I realized that I can not stop writing after knowing Hollywood. So, I want yo to read this book. If you know Hollywood a little, you can get a lot of information. Even if you are familiar with Hollywood, you can miss old movies of Hollywood, I think. Hollywood" is a truly lovely and wonderful place for a film! </div>

When you are tired studying, or when you don't feel like studying, what do you do? Give up, or forget it? Or try to do by force? In my case, none of them. When I don't want to start or continue studying, what I do is to listen music. By listening some music, I develop my motivation, and I don't have any suffering of studying! Therefore, the power of music is so enormous, and I need not to explain it. That is, most people know that. <br />
And you know the reason I chose this book. I was attracted by the title: The Magic of Music. Before I read this book, I intended I have already known what the title meant. I though that this book would tell about the charm points of music. But, after I read this book, I noticed that I had had some stereotypes about music. What do you think when you ask about music? I imagined the sound made by instruments or human voices. For example, J-POP, K-POP,Western Music, etc. However, the range of "music" is so vast. For example. a rhythm which is made when a mother hold her baby is also included in "music". The mothers in every country who speak different language make the same music when they hold their own babies! It is so interesting. Then, animal rhythms are also music. Animals compose songs, too. Bird songs can have the same rhythm and pitches as human music. They sing to give information, to tell other birds when there is danger, and to find love. when I read this, I remember studying by listening beautiful nature's sound, like the wind or rain or bird singing on YouTube. That is, I know that animal rhythms are one of the music, although I forgot it...<br />
But, it is natural to imagine sound which have melody and lyric when you hear the word of "music", right? So, this book give readers a chance of thinking about minor music. Plead read it.<br />

The most surprising question in the world. And my answer? (p.48)</i><br />
<i></i><br />
The main character, Penny is a musician and she plays the double bass in a orchestra. At first, she visits to Spain with the orchestra. This trip is first time with her members in a foreign country. So she is so happy , at first. But, some unhappy things happens to her after she arrives there. First, her double bass is lost, and then someone with her orchestra dies. Then, her boyfriend is something wrong to her. And a famous picture is stolen from a galley. In fact, these things are related. So, a inspector Portillo asks her and her colleague to solve the accident, and her life changes as she slowly learns the truth...<br />
Of course, the accident is solved, and her life changes to happy one. Then, there is a sentence like the question at the last scene. The inspector asks one question to her, but what it is isn't written in it. I guess that he tells her his love. If it were so, however, when have they fallen in love with each other? That's because they are only a person who is interviewed and a inspector who asks. What do you think ?<br />

In love stories, there is a hero and a heroine. And, the heroine of this book is a deaf girl. In her world, everything is so quiet. Her mother says to her daughter that they can choose how to be in life-happy or sad, and they should choose to be happy. So, she never mind being deaf. Until she<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; display: inline; float: none; font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;"> falls in love with a man</span>. Who he loves lives in the hearing world, the different world from her. she wants to be usual for him, but she comes to think that they can get over the barrier bi the power of love. One day, however, she meets a girl who has been a girlfriend of him once, and she hers depressed again...</div>
<div>
I think that some difficulties are unavoidable in many love stories and the reality is not the exception. I think the idea of the heroine's mother is good . Our lives are only one. So I want to be happy with the positive thinking. Even if I were in position of her...</div>

At first, the woman thinks that the murder case is difficult for the young man and she doesn't trust him. At the same time, Webb thinks of her buddy as strange because she requires something unrelated to the job like the quotation. And she wants red wine during their job. But their impression of each other changes through their job. I have read some stories where a woman detective inspector and a man sergeant are main, but I think this book is different from those ones because their relationship begins from zero, not from a bad fixed view. Therefore, please pay attention to the connection between them if you red this one!!</span></span></span></span></span><br />

(p.39)</i><br />
<i></i><br />
This story started when the main character gets an important job of a museum. She loves art and she works in a museum. One day, some Impressionist paintings comes from a museum of Paris to the museum, and the director asks her to work for them. She is feeling too good, which cases a motorbike accident. She lose her memory of the accident, but it brings a danger to her without her realizing. The truth is that she had seen two men who had a gun before she gets the traffic accident. The men thinks that she knows too much about them, so they tries to kill her. In fact, there is something in common between what she saw on the men and a painting which she likes. But, she doesn't have any memory of the accident, so she doesn't know what is different about the painting after the accident. He doesn't recognize the men's plan and continue to work....<br />
when I read this book, I felt terror a little. Where you don't know, you are targeted for your life...Is there more fear than this?<br />

<i>'Yeah, aren't you Lucky?' I said, smiling. (P.11)</i></div>
<div>
<i></i><br /></div>
<div>
This is a story about a woman who is a detective in a police. One day, a dead girl is found in a swimming pool in a small town of USA. Police officers think that she was killed by someone. In the past, the town was famous for silver and gold. And now, many people go on vacation there. It 's the last place where dead body is find. The detective is sent to the town to find the killer. But, in hear mind, there is another accident where her best friend was killed. She tries to find the fact of the dead girl which gets involves in the murder case of her partner...</div>
<div>
I think this story is similar to a book of Cambridge English Readers. Do you know the series of 'Inspector Longan'? In the book, a woman who is not admitted by anyone at the beginning solves some incidents. Similarly, this book's protagonist is a woman, and she isn't like by men workers. The quotation show it. She is sent to the town where the accident happened, but the police officer of town doesn't like her, at first. When she sees men not smiling, she says such a line. She is a strong woman. The relationship of characters is so interesting. Therefore, please read both of the books, and find how their recognition have changed from the opening to ending. And of course, you can read the process bout resolution of cases. You might find some similarity and differences between two books! </div>

That evening something happened which changed all of their lives. (from back cover)</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
In this book, there are four stories which happens in the same street of England. People who live in the street have some problems. Foe example, these are about money, love or work etc. Every people worry their lives. Naturally, these have seemed to go to the solutions. But, one day, there is an accident, which changes all of their lives. If it had not happened, their live would be better...<br />
When I read this book, the accident was like something bad in their lives, however, it's natural that we don't know what happens to our futures. So the accident might have been inevitable in their lives...<br />
Then, what happens the accident is a cigarette one boy does. One person's action may affect on the other's lives. Therefore, this book is not only interesting but also teaching us something.<br />

(p. 26)</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
What do you think of from the title of " the man from nowhere"? Before I read this book, I thought that this was a mystery, and a man from a special world came to the earth. But, this story is so realistic. One day, a family have a trouble with their plane, and they got in trouble. The plane crushed into the sand, and the father and the mother hurt. The father decided to walk for helping, and walks in sand. But it is hard to walk in soft and deep sand. At last, he looses his consciousness and falls into the ground. Fortunately, a person finds him, but people don't know who the man is. So, from nowhere.<br />
I think the distress in a hot and dry desert is so hard accident. The mother chooses to leave in the sand waiting some help with her son. But the father doesn't wait, and he walks for asking for help. which is better when we loose our way? I think the father is heroic because he does hard work of walking in desert with some hurt for his family. When you read this book, please think such a thing.<br />

Did they look like us? (p. 10)</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
At the beginning of this book, a person gets a interview about his journey to the other planet twenty years ago. There are two planets in this book. One of them is earth, and the other is the outside of earth. When you read this book, please guess which the talker comes from first, and you can enjoy this book more!<br />
I think people are so afraid when they meet people from the other planet. And the talker also does. Fortunately, the air of this story is rather good because of the nice characteristic of the protagonist, but there is probability that the fear becomes to exclusion of the different people. So the ending might to be bad if it is supposed that the main character is too afraid to people from other side. That's because some scary can be fights between different spices... Thinking such a issue which we rarely think through a book is interesting!<br />
And, before I read this book, a person introduced this book in the class activity. He said that this book reminded him of center examination because similar story appeared in it. I think a book makes us think of many things!<br />

<br />
The begging of this story is so impressive. There is only a boy in a village. Except him, there is no one. The truth is that every people but the boy was killed. When bad men came to his village, he was out and his life was survived. However he lost his family and his home. He tries to be quiet to hide from the men. but his chicken makes a noise and he is found by solders. But, fortunately, they are not bad men. They comes to help the boy, Jojo. And he meets Chris who takes photographs of conflict eras for English newspaper. At that time, he was a boy. But he changes through the story, so this is the "Jojo's story".....If you have some interests how he changes, please read this.<br />
When I read this book, I was so sad because people kill someone. Jojo askes chris why people fight. Chris says he dosen't know. I don't know too. Probably, the answer is so complicated. What can we do for them? We can think such a thing by reading the kind of book. I wish people change into good.<br />

Not theirs.' 'Our country? Who are we?'(p.17)</i><br />
<i></i><br />
The main character of this book is a woman called Nancy. She lives with his boyfriend who has a lot of money. Her boyfriend always buys her what she wants. she can have all and she was satisfied with her life, at first. But, he is a problem man. He doesn't like Nancy doing something. He stops her writing and wants to make her stop working. He thinks that he can control her at all! And as the another characteristic of him, he hates asylum seekers. He thinks that they steal things and rob jobs and money of him. While, Nancy works at a center for asylum seekers and she knows that they need help because of bad problems in their countries. She gradually becomes unable to understand him and she is growing apart from him. At that time, she meets a man who is one of the asylum seekers and she thinks only about him instead of his boyfriends. She wants to be close to him more and.....<br />
<br />
In this story, the sense of values are different between Nancy and her boyfriend, which cause an accident. Especially, Nancy is for asylum seekers and her boyfriend is against them. In fact, there are those who accept people from other countries and those who don't. Through this book, we can think of the social problem of immigration.<br />

Probably, many people have one. Could you live without phones? For modern people like us, phones are essential, right? Then, could you throw it away if your phone disturbs your tasks? As you know, mobile phones are convenient but so dangerous at the same time. There are a lot of information in a phone, and it's so risky if someone know them. Especially, for some executives such as spies or person working for ICPO, the device is difficult to treat. The protagonist of this book is also such a special worker. One day, he gets a mission which affects on his nation. He is a brilliant worker, however, he is involved in many trouble in this task. His enemies know where he is because of his phone! Therefore, he decides to discard it, but....<br />
If you know the following of but and you are good at solving some riddles, please read this book. This book have much development which betray you. When I read this book, I wanted to ask some hard question to many thing( I wanted to do " <i>tukkomi</i>" in Japanese!!) Like me, you will get some surprise.<br />

The main character is an archaeologist who is always overworked. When she visits the doctor, she is advised to take a rest. However she is so busy and she once refuses it. After she is persuaded by her boss, she decides to go to the beautiful and peaceful island. However, she becomes involved with a dangerous incident there...<br />
<br />
The point of this this story is that main character is an archaeologist who wants to find everything. After she encounters a accident where one of the local men dies in island of rest, she comes across a suspicious group. She feels a little scared but she chooses to explore the truth. Then she approaches the team and she gets in danger. Probably the profession is important for the progression of this story. If she had not been such a eager scholar, she would not have been involved in the accident.<br />
Then, what I like in this story is the moment where it turns out that a person who seem villain is actually justice. At the begging of this story, a main archaeologist meets a man who looks bad at first glance. At first she doesn't like him, but she knows that he work for international police when he help her. The betrayal of development makes the story more interesting. <br />

Do you like monkeys? They are so cute and some people may love them, but the others may not like them. They sometimes cause a lot of trouble. For example in Thailand, there are monkeys everywhere. They run around the streets, climb on car, houses. They can go anywhere they want to and get into something. Some accidents can be taken by them. And they sometimes take food. They are troublemakers. However, the people of Thailand allow the monkeys to run around the streets. They know that the people also cause some problem. They never try to stop the monkeys. And, what is more, people of Lopburi in Thailand have a monkey party! They offer a banquet with lots of food with monkeys. Then, there's even a particularly special party where the festival organizers are giving the monkey a whole cake. Do monkeys like and eat it? They don't like the cake. They love it. People watching them are very happy. They really love the monkeys. But, why do people such things to monkeys? Is it because people there are monkey lovers? Or do the monkeys bring something good to people? That's because people in Thailand are Buddhists, and for many of them monkeys are very important animals. Monkeys are main characters in many Thai stories and legends. What stories are they? This book refers that. </div>

On the other hand, monkeys are considered as devils in some countries. These ideas come from ancient stories. Whether people think of a animal as sacred or not shows the history and the culture. To understand people in other country, animals may be a guideline. <br />
<br />
<br />
In the last page, there are the Jataka Stories of Buddha. Jataka Stories are stories which were drawn in stones.These stories were important for people because they show how to lead a good life, and the heroes in a lot of these stories are monkeys. That means monkeys told people how to lead a life. These stories are now legends in Thailand. If you get an interest in those stories, please read this book !</div>

There are a lot of fears in our world from small one to big one. There are a variety of fears from a fear which you may feel risk of your life to a fear which you get when you are scolded by teachers or your parents. This world is full of many fears!! I have recently experienced a fear. One day, I went shopping to a shopping mall far from my house with my sister. At first, we had a good time. However, after some shopping, we quarreled due to a trivial thing. My sister drived, so my sister left me alone at the mall and went somewhere. "Oh, making her angry means losing my way to my house? Please come back! ", I thought, and felt fear. I don't have enough money to take some public transportations after shopping, so I thought I should walk. I had a few confidence whether I could get home from the unfamiliar place. After all, my sister returned, but it's true I felt a fear. Maybe, I wouldn't have afraid if I had met some alien then. When I told about this story to my friends, they said alien scared more than human. Therefore, the feeling about fears is so different by individuals. In this book, many fears are mentioned, for example, the fun of fear and the business of fear. The fear is so mysterious!</div>

According to this book, the memory of the danger that causes the feeling of fear is kept for some time in the amygdala. If your amygdala works perfectly, you manage to keep calm when you encounter something scary. In the end of this book, there is a test to measure the degree of your coward! Why don't you know how much you are afraid some fears!</div>

<em>So, is Jack a good boy for getting money for his family, or is he a thief? Or, is he both?(p. 9)</em><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Stealing something is vice. Robbers must be arrested and pay for their stealing. It's true, I think. This book also mentions such bad deed. But, it refers to "thieves we like", at the same time. What is the admirable stealing on earth? That is some stealing which are done for saving poor people. For example, Jack from a famous story "<em>Jack and the Bean tree"</em> can be cited. As you know, he steals money and other things before he leaves a big house in the sky. After all, he gets money for his mother. But is his action really good? <br />
<br />

He is a thief gentleman who was created by French mystery writer Maurice LeBlanc. He has a clear mind and a talent for disguise. He is full of wit and humor. He accomplishes any thief considered to be impossible easily, but he never commit theft to poor people. He targets unjust politicians and businessmen. He save weak women or children, and innocent people. He is called benevolent thief. Is he bad man? Probably, many people answer "No, He isn't so bad." Of course, stealing is bad thing. While, some thief gentlemen are hero. That's because they teach a lesson to politicians with corruption and help some people. L<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; display: inline; float: none; font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">upine is the Savior to many people rather than thief! We can not necessarily say that stealing is bad thing! But I think that stealing such as Lupine is glorified by power of description of the writer. If a real phantom thief like Lupine appeared actually, could we praise him? It 's only in the world of novels and comics? I could consider such thing deeply thorough this book. Thinking about something which we don't usually consider is interesting! There are a lot of doubts on books of this series. Please read this book and think! </span></div>

In the first book, sergeant Grant doesn't accept Logan as a reliable inspector, and he doesn't call Logan madam. However, please pay attention to the quotation of this blog. He calls her madam with trust. If you have known the characters already, you can smile at the expression, madam. If you don't read the previous story and don't know who is Logan, please imagine that she has many trouble to be good inspector. Then, probably, you will be pleased when you realize the description...<br />
The change of human relation among characters is of course charming. However, another point to focus on is Logan's intelligence! The process where problem goes to the solution is so interesting. This is why I recommend this series to you!!<br />

Nobody wins in the city. And nobody helps anybody. understand?" (p. 16)</em><br />
<em><br /></em><br />
I like Babe! I remember the excitement of reading <em>the sheep-pig</em>, the first book about Babe, for the first time and the excitement of the time when I found the next story of Babe at the library of the PUK! Babe leaves the farm for the city. Farmer Hoggett needs some money and Mr, Hoggett's wife and the pig head for the city. There, Babe meets a lot of animals, for example, dogs , chimpanzees and an orang-utan. At first, the animals of the city are dry and cool to others, however, Babe's innocence and kindness change them. They and Babe become good friends, but Babe's kindness sometimes brings about danger and troubles...<br />

At the same time, Mrs. Hoggett gets into a panic because her important pig disappears somewhere. She tries to find Babe, but...</div>

I think Babe is great pig. He changes other animals' maid and even human's mind, for instant, the mind of Mrs. Hoggett. Mrs. Hoggett took Babe to the city for her money at first , but the story doesn't go as her will. At last, she and other human do their best for the animals. Human might try to treat animals at will, but animals can overturn it!! In this book, Babe and his friends do that! Therefore, I was exciting to this story.</div>
<div style="border-image: none;">
I think we should also think about real animal's innocence when we enjoy this type of story. </div>
