"I need to find an old friend," he replied. (p. 10)



「ten long years」の画像検索結果 One April evening, Nat Marley, a New York private investigator went for a beer after work in McFadden's Bar on second Avenue. A lot of people were in there and he sat one table with his drink and started to read the Daily News. Then a guy walked over to his table and asked, "Can I sit here?" His name was Jorge Delgado and he had dark hair and a friendly face. They drank together. Jorge said, "Doesn't that look beautiful after ten years without a beer?" Nat replied, "You didn't have a beer for ten years. Where were you? Saudi Arabia?" He waited a minute before speaking. "Someplace where you have a lot of time to think," he replied. "Someplace where you don't want to be. A cold, gray world. A world where you can shout, but no one hears. you can talk, but no one listens."



 I recommend this book because I like the stories in this series. Cambridge English Readers is an exciting series of original fiction. If you like this series or fiction, please read it.

Today, I read Roman Adventure. Biff and Chip were doing a project on the Romans.Then the magic key began to glow and took them on a new adventure. They met a girl and her brother, a chariot driver. They saw a real chariot. They were hungry, so went to her house. Her father is a baker, but the bread was flat and didn't look like bread the day. So they make them into Pizzas. Then they sold the Pizzas at the chariot race. At first, no one bought them, but Pizzas were sold out after her brother put a banner『BUY A PIZZA』 on his chariot at the race. After that the Emperor ate and liked it.

BR 20: One day

This book includes some short stories. First, these stories don't connect, but finally the stories condense into one. The key word of this book are the fire and letters. I think this style of book is interesting, but it's difficult to read and explain to someone. There are many main characters, so that makes this book more difficult. I want you to read this book. Let's try it! Naylor, Helen. One day. Cambridge, UK: Cambridge University Press.
