Charlie and the Chocolate Factory【Book Review #1】


The one thing he longed for more than anything else was... CHOCOLATE. (p.16)
Do you like chocolate? I love it very much. It allows us to be relaxed. Today, the story about a boy and chocolate...
 The boy, Charlie lives in a small house with his parents and his grandparents.
What he likes very much is chocolate and he always want to try to taste one. However, his family is so poor that they can't buy even one. One day, his parents give him a chocolate as his birthday present, which has the ticket to tour through the factory. He is really happy and goes to the factory  with his grandparent. There are 4 more people who can get the ticket and are invited there. Surprisingly, there see and experience what they've never seen and experienced in daily life.
 I was really interested in the story of the factory. There are many things to interest and excite them inside the factory. 'Chocolate River' and crazy machines made me want to go there. If you read this, you will also want to. I thought I could exhaust the river...

My Game Life

Hi! What's up? Today, I watched WWDC online, which is Apple's conference for developers and fans. The event was started streaming from 2:00 a.m.(JST). That's is why I'm sleepy now... iOS11, new MacOS, new iPad Pro, iMac Pro, and HomePod are a little exciting for me. Strictly speaking, I was not especially surprised at these  this time. Anyway, Today's topic is My Game Life. I spend my weekend on playing video game. My favorite is Battlefield 1. Battlefield 1 is based on WWI. Weapons, vehicles, buildings... everything are described minutely. I like to study history, so playing Battlefield 1 allows me to learn the history. They'll provide us new contents this month. I can't miss it!! You can ride a horse and fight enemies. I want to share my other favorite video games, so I decide to post a blog about video games which I recommend to you! Don't miss it!!

1984【Book Review #4】

His finger moved on the table. He wrote in the dust:  2 + 2 = 5 ‘ They can ’ t get inside you ,’ she had said. But they could get inside you. And when they did , something inside you died. The world in 1984 was divided into three regions , ー Eurasia , Eastasia and Oceania. Lives and thoughts of people were controlled by the governments , which also means nobody couldn ’ t have own thought. The main character , Winston , lives in England , where belongs to “ Oceania ” and works for Big Brother , the head of “ Oceania ” .

Also , he is in love with Julia , one of the Big Brother Party , which is not allowed. However , his longing for her just grew and grew... After reading , I supposed what I could do in this world. I felt there is something real in this book. And I could understand what the cover of this boo

Chemical Secret【Book Review #4】

The story didn't sound very exciting at first. 'I went to a factory today,' John said. That paint factory by the river. No, wait, Andrew. Paint factories can be very exciting. They gave me a job there. I'm going to have my own office, a big car, lots of money - in fact, we're going to be rich...!  Mr. Duncan had did successful business of boats with his wife at first. Then they borrowed too much money to build bigger and better boats, and his wife passed away. After that, he closed his business. He has one daughter and one son to raise and he has to get enough money to raise them, but he is too old to get a new job.  One day, A paint factory gave him a good job, with his own office, a big car and lots of money. He and his children think that we're going to be rich, but things won't go well as he thinks... Vicary, Tim. (2000). Chemical Secret . Oxford: Oxford University Press.
