Mei's Adventure

 Suzie is a student and one day, Gran waiting her at the school and went home together. But Gran couldn’t the house’s key. Gran and Suzie looked for the key around Gran and many times but they could not find it. Then, their dog went in the house from the small flap. So, Suzie tried to enter the house by using dog’s flap and she could. The key was in the house but they were home at last. Gran gave Suzie and her dog biscuits.   I think I will be able to experience this situation which Gran forgot the key near the future so this story was interesting. The trouble was solved by Suzie and her dog. It shows us they are pretty clever.   ◆ New Words ◆ ・ flap ：片方が固定され垂れさがっているドア

 “Will you sponsor Dad?”   Dad went running and decided to participate in the event “Fun Run.” The children told everyone to sponsor their Dad. The day of the event, he took injured when he was running and he couldn’t run any more. But children took an old pram. Dad was on the pram and everyone pushed it. Therefore, Dad could finish Fun Run and he could experience real fun run.   I like the scene that the children asked everyone to be Dad’s sponsors for their Dad. He couldn’t finish running by him self but everyone helped him so he could finish. It is a very good story and I think the children are too kind and like their Dad very much.     ◆ New Words ◆ ・ pram ：乳母車 ・ hooray ：さようなら

 “Slow down,” shouted Biff. “No. This is fun,” said Gran.   Gran bought a fast car but everyone around her was worried about her. After that, Gran and children went to a small world. Gran joined a car race but it was very dangerous because a bad guy disturbed her race. Finally, Gran won this race but she learned a fast car was really dangerous so she took the fast car back. For instead, she bought a little car.   I was surprised that Gran was very powerful and dangerous. She enjoyed the fast car but the children scared it so I think she has more thrill then the children in her life.     ◆ New Words ◆ ・ skid ：スリップする

“The children threw snowballs at the big boys.” “The big boys ran away.”   The children went to The village in the Snow by a magic. It is a village which was showed the children in the book. In The village in the Snow, the children saw a little boy who was bullied by big boys. So, one of the children Kipper wore the little boy’s things and looked like the little boy. The big boys came to Kipper so the children threw snowballs at the big boys and the big boys ran away. And then, the children enjoyed with the little boy but the magic key grew and they want back to the room.   This story gave me a fantasy imagination because I was really excited that the children want to the village in a book. Also, the children helped a little boy bi their clever imagination. I wanted to go the village with them.     ◆ New Words ◆ ・ toboggan ：トボガン ( 遊戯・競技用の平底で先端が曲がったそり )  

 “I don’t like nasty witches.”   Children and Gran were taken to a castle by a magic. There are three nasty witches on the castle and a frog which was a king but turned in to a frog. Children and Gran helped them to fight with three witches. The king frog became a person and other frogs turn into people too. The king had a party and enjoyed but a magic key was glowing and children and Gran went to a real world.   The phrase I wrote on the top of this page is what Gran said. Gran is really strong and powerful. I think children like her very much. By reading this story, I want to see Gran and go to an adventure.   ◆ New Words ◆ ・ nasty ：ひどい

 “Biff looked outside. There was a storm.”   Wilf and Wilma made a tree house with their friends and their Dad. But one day, the storm came to them and it broke the tree house. They became sad. However, they could find a box under the tree. A key was inside and Chip liked the box so he put it in his room.   If I had been Biff and had looked outside which had rained and wind, I couldn’t have slept. But they found a special key because of the storm so I think if we experienced bad things, we could see some good things someday.
