BR I Always Win!

Tyler looks at Ryan's bike. "Is that a new bike, Ryan?" he asks. "Yes," Ryan says. "Do you like it?" Tyler said, "You have a good bike, but I'm going to win. Let's have a good race," " Yeah," Ryan replies. "I'll see you at the finish line." (p.8)

         This is the story of two boys. They are both good riders. One day, they join race game. They want to win each other!! Tyler's friends cheer up him, and Ryan's father said "I want you to go faster than last year. You will win !!" to him. He had worry, but he says " Yes, Dad." Eventually, they had a good race. But Ryan pushed Tyler at the gate. I think Ryan was feeling responsible by his father's worlds. I remember when I was a University hopeful. Sometimes, support or encouragement make us suffering.

Vermont is one of the US. The origin of this name is unknown, but "Vermont" comes from "Les Verts Monts". "Les Verts Monts" is french.
Average temperatures in Vermont is 6℃. Summer is hot, and we can see beautiful autumn during the fall. Turkey bemome extinct because influence of hunting and destroying habitat range.

We can try ski and snowboard, another sports in winter. There are about 30 ski areas, and orinpic ski champion is people in Vermont every time!! Spring and summer is the best season of outdoor. People in Vermont enjoy  water sports in this season. There are a lot of sightseeing spots, but I recommend to go Burglington park because we can cycling and enjoy wonderful view. There are some restaurants in this area, so we can have lunch in this places!!

In the 60s, hippie hope free and peace came to Vermont, and they became to live there. BEN＆JERRY I have already introduced or Green Mountain Coffee are expanding into Vermont. These company emphasize the quality of their products and fair trade for small farm family. So we can see many restaurants and shops treat organic foods in burnlington.

BR Monkeys

They have pretend fights. Then they make up with their friends.They play all day, until it gets dark. Then they cuddle up on branches... and sleep until morning.(p,45)

This is about the monkey's life. There is no story, but we could know monkey's life. I think that monkey's baby are same with human baby, because they learn alot of things by playing. I want to read more difficult book than this book next time.
