BR2-33: The Story of Chocolate
A thiusand yeaqrs ago, chocolate was a big secret. Only a few people drank it and nobody ate it. The first chocolate drinkers were farmers who lived by the rainforest in central America. The rainforest was a jungle full of tropical plants, wild animals and creepy crawlies. It was also home to the small cocoa tree that grew strange, bright pods.
Today, I introduce "The Story of Chocolate". This book is in Series One of Usborne Young Reading books. This story is history of chocolate.I like chocolate but I didn't know the history in detail.

I think after much trial and error chocolate was borned. (132/8608 words)

BR 2-24: The Snow Queen
One winter's day Derda and Key were playing outside in the snow. They worked all day to build a snowman. At last it was finished. 'It looks great,' said Gerda. 'I like your green scarf and that funny, old hat we found in granny's house!' 'Ouch!' said Key, 'I've got something in my eye. It really hurts.' 'Let me have a look,' said Gerda. 'I can't see anything, perhaps it was a piece of snow.' But it was not snow that was in Key's eye, it was a piece of glass from magic mirror. Now, what will happen.
This book is penguin young readers, level 4. This story is very famous all over the world. Do you know it? When I was a child, my mother read the story and I was very afraid. The snow queen kidnaped Key. So Gerda went to help him. The snow queen has a ice heart so she couldn't understand people's feeling. This story is a little long but the words are easy so we can read speady. In this winter, the snow queen will come your city and you will be kidnaped by her.

And what is modern Oxford really like?Oxford Bookworms Factfiles in a sub-series in the Oxford Bookwords series. It is devoted to nonficiton, and most of the books are about countries of famous cities or environmental problems.

My favorite movie
My
favorite movie is Charlie and the Chocolate factory. This movie was directed by
Tim Burton. The film stars are Johnny Depp and Freddie Highmore. This is very
funny. I like Tim and Johnny's combination. When I watched this movie, it was
excited for me. The chocolate factory is Wonka. In fact, the chocolates are
sold all over the world. I have eaten it, it was good but it was a little
sweet. This movie's view of the world is very interesting and the characters
are very cute and funny. I like Oompa-Loompas. Oompa-Loompas are dwarfs. But
they are very strange and they like dancing and singing. Their songs make fun
of the other characters. The factory has many strange machines. The children
were trapped by Wanka. Wanka didn't like father because his father was a
dentist so he forbade Wanka to eat all of the sweets. So Wanka left his house.
I want to watch this movie again. (164/6106 words)

BR2-22 LONDON
London-two thousand years of history. From the Romans and King Henry the Eighth to the city of today and tomorrow - and from St Paul's Cathedral and Buckingham Palace to Petticoat Lane and Ronnie Scott's Jazz club.
London is a book in the Factfiles subseries of Oxford Bookworms. as you may know, Factfoles os a nonfiction subseries. Many of the books about places, and some about social problems such as the environment. Many of the books about places are about countries, but this one is about England's most poplar city. Like many of the books, London has nine chapters: This is London!, in the beginning, Visiting the city, Some places to go, Westminster, Shops and eating, Going out, Museums and galleries, Places and parades. Some consist of two pages, as with the Stage 1 books, other four pages. The first page (This is London!) consist of only one page. The last chapter has a nice large map of London, and photos are included on every page. The book ends with two pages of exercises and a glossary.
The language in general is fairly simple, but the impression is that it's noticeably more challenging than Stage 1 books. Most of the vocabulary is fairly simple, but there are many proper nouns. This is unavoidable in a book introduction a place, but may give an impression of difficulty to some students. Picking page 6 at random, the numbers of words in each sentence are as follows: 9, 17, 14, 12, 16, 16, 10, 10, 19, 10, 15, 9. These figures give a mean of 21. One noticeable difference from stage 1 is the absence of very short sentence of fewer 10 words, which may slow down reading speed a little.
The chapter that appealed to me the most was Chapter 4: Some places to go. The Queen's Gallery is also at the palace, and you can visit it at most times of the years. I want to go to the Queen Gallery! (329/5942 words)

BR2-21: FOOD AND DRINK IN BRITAIN
Oxford Bookworms Factfiles in a sub-series in the Oxford Bookworms series. It is devoted to nonfiction, and most of the books are about countries or famous cities or environmental problems.
The book I read today is Food and Drink in Britain. Generally, the book is quite easy to read. There are few embedded clauses, and the sentences simple in structure. The average sentence length is about 16 words. There are some much longer sentences, but most of those are lists or have easy-to-understand clauses ouch as "because" clauses. The vocabulary is quite simple, with few unknown words theta learners will need to look up in the dictionary. But the books do have quite a lot of information and the number of words in fairly large. Thus, these books are recommended for learners who are aiming to progress beyond very short and simple books such Usborne First Reading or Oxford Reading Tree.
The book concocts of twelve chapters: Introduction, Changes in diet and shopping ,Farming and fishing, Home-cooked food, Eating out and eating outside, Fast food, Potatoes: a staple food,A sweet tooth, Going for a drink, How to make Shepherd's Pie, and How to make Scones.
Chapter 2, Changes in diet and shopping, describe one thing witch has changed is the way same foods are seen as ordinary and cheep, and others special and valuable. and the chapter explained the diet of many British people is quiet different to that of their parents and has often changed in their own lifetime.
Overall, the bookwas very interesting and useful for me. My knowledge of food and diet in Britain was very limited, and the book gave me lots of useful information and made me went to visit Britain my self. As mentioned above, this book and other books in the Factfiles sub-series may be a useful next step for learners who have read very simple books. (313/5504 words)

My favorite dish
My favorite dish is yakiniku!!!! I love eating meat
LOL. Yakiniku is very popular food in Japan. So I often eat it. We can eat
meats and vegetables!!! This dish is good for children at that stage when they
have insatiable appetites. And we can eat this dish with many people at the
same time so we are enjoyed in the time. But it has a bad point. It is smell!
After we ate yakiniku, we have a bad smell because when we eat yakiniku, we
produce billows of smoke. So the smell sticks to our clothes. After we eat
yakiniku, we should deodorize the smell. In Korea, Yakiniku is called
"bulgogi". I have never eaten bulgogi so I want to eat it!!! (123/1922 words)
