The Perfect Storm【Book Review #6】

At about midnight, on Monday, October 28th, the wind was blowing at 50 knots and some waves were about 45 feet high. At that point, the swordfishing boat, Andrea Gail, must have been climbing slowly up each wave, then going over the top and falling down the other side.

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!!

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

You are in a small plane, going across the snowy Rocky Mountains. Suddenly, the engine starts to make strange noise… Soon you are alone, in the snow, at the top of a mountain, and it is very, very cold. You want to go down the mountain. There are some things in the plane: a coat, some whisky, a map, some bananas, and a cigarette lighter. You cannot take everything, but you can take three things with you. Be careful-some of these things can help you, but some of these things cannot. What do you take? And can you survive? Today, I survived on the mountain…I read Survive!  ,which is a book from Oxford Bookworms series. It was written by Helen Brooke. This is an interactive story and you can choose what part of the story to read next. What do you do if you are alone in a mountain? Survive! allows you to experience accident in a mountain. If you choose a wrong direction, you will die (in Survive!) . I died three times in Survive! . Survive! is an interesting book, so I recommend
