Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep?

(Level 5 ; From page 1 to 103)


*Content
Earth lies under a cloud of radioactive dust and many real animals have almost extinct. Rick Deckard is an android killer for the police who lives in San Francisco. There are six androids Rick is ordered to kill. Nevertheless, they look and sound like humans. Furthermore, they are very clever and dangerous. They will be hard to kill.

*Reflection
There are two main points we can find in this book: environment and technology. Earth is desertification and only less animals can survive. Human beings destroyed environment and they don't know how to recover this damage. Therefore, they have to emigrate to Mars in order to keep survival. Besides, humans invented androids, which are human-like robots to help them do everything especially work, but they don't know some androids are so dangerous that they will kill people. In behalf of avoiding this situation, some policeperson like Dick Deckard appeared, their job is to kill those horrible androids. Nowadays, our Mother Earth has experienced many destruction from humans such as greenhouse effect or pollution. Moreover, even though technology is more progressive than before, it would bring more troubles to us.

The Coldest Place On Earth

The Coldest Place On Earth-Level 1

  I have read a book which is "The Coldest Place On Earth" from Chapter 1 to 8. At the beginning, I chose this book because I thought that is easier than all of other books. After I began to read, I found the interesting place that I had read.
  This book is talking about who is the first person to discover South Pole. That described a race ; two teams started to look for South Pole. One is from England, the captain names Robert Falcon Scott. The other one is from Norway, the captain is Roald Amundsen. I have already read 8 parts of this book, and I guess the winner of that race is Amundsen. Because their equips are better than Scott that I observed.
  Amundsen brought ski, dogs and motor sledge to the trip, and Scott brought ponies, dogs and motor sledge. The odd place that I thought is why Scott bring ponies to such a cold place, so I thought Normay is going to be the first country for discovering the coldest place on earth. But I hasn’t read the end of the book, I just guessing!

My Fair Lady

My Fair Lady- Level 3


    I've read a book which is "My Fair Lady" from Chapter 1- 4. The writer of this book is Alan Jay Lerner. This story book is very interesting and it makes me laugh quite few times already. This story is talk about a lady who called Eliza, she's from West London, and her accent caught Professor Higgins's attention. They had their 1st met on the wet streets, its quite unpleasant, because Professor Higgins kept fastidious Eliza's accent and made her angry. He told Eliza to learn the English accent from him and she did, and then, their love story has begins... After this story came out, people turned this story book became a musical in 1958 and film in 1964. What an old book......

    Actually I like love stories very much, I feel it's very romantic and fantasy, so I'm quite interesting on this book. Everytime i start to read this, I am very concentrate and I feel that I can't help myself to stop to continue reading this book, but I don't feel like want to know the ending of the story so fast, so I keep forcing myself to stop it, and divert my attention to others things.

    By the way, I am really curious about, what will be the ending of Eliza and Professor Higgins? I think it makes reader feel exciting for sure!

Diary of a Wimpy Kid DOG DAYS



    This book is the diary of Greg's summer break and talks about the kid's thought. When you begin to read it, it can let you get back to the time as a child and let you recall troubles that the child has. Like the 21 century children, many kids like playing video games indoor more than playing outside. For me, I like to stay indoor whole my holiday, because staying home I can do every thing I like and also can save my money. In the story, I had the same experience after I saw the horror movie. It's the best chance to see the horror movie in the night on the holiday, because we wouldn't have to go to school in the morning. Just like Greg, I couldn't fall asleep after saw the movie. Then I would think that the ghost will find me and scream me. I find the story very interesting that can let us recall the childhood memories. Some memories maybe use you feel crazy, but it also is one of the part of your childhood life.
