群馬県のスズメは減っているのか
1年 6 組深井こるり

スズメは誰もが知っているごく普通の小鳥だが，近年そのスズメが激減して
い る と い う （ 三 上 修 2 0 1 2 ）． し か し ， 自 宅 周 辺 の ス ズ メ は あ ま り 減 っ て い る よ
うには思えない．そこで，スズメは群馬県でも本当に減っているのかを，三上（ 2012） に な ら っ て 調 べ て み る こ と に し た ．
ま ず ， 群 馬 県 の 狩 猟 統 計 で 1 99 2 ～ 2 01 6 年 の 狩 猟 者 登 録 数 と ス ズ メ 類 の 駆 除数を調べたところ，どちらも減少傾向にあったが，狩猟者数が半減したのに対し ，駆 除 数 は 6 6 分 の １ に 激 減 し て お り ，こ れ は 全 国 の 急 激 な 減 少 傾 向 と 一 致 した ． 次 に ， 環 境 省 の 自 然 環 境 保 全 基 礎 調 査 で 1 9 7 5 年 頃 と 2 0 00 年 頃 の 群 馬 県 内におけるスズメの繁殖可能性ランクを比較したところ，ランクアップしたメッシュが 5 メッシュ，ランクダウンしたメッシュが 6 メッシュで，わずかに減少傾向がみられたが，全国的な減少傾向とは一致しなかった．そこで，群馬県自然環境課が実施している市町村別鳥類生息密度調査の結果を用いて解析を試みた．その結果，繁殖期における群馬県内のスズメの分布は平野部に集中し，山間 部 に は 少 な い こ と（ 図 1 ），繁 殖 期 の 個 体 数 は 森 林 や 標 高 と は 負 の 相 関 を 示 し ，
農村や農耕地とは正の相関を示すこと，繁殖期の個体数は，群馬県全体では統計 的 に 有 意 な 減 少 傾 向 は み ら れ な い こ と（ 図 2 ），個 体 数 の 増 減 に 影 響 す る 環 境
要因は明確にはわからなかったが，農村や農耕地のほか，市街地や人口動態も関係しているかもしれないことがわかった．今後は，全国的なスズメの減少傾向と異なり，県内のスズメがそれほど顕著に減少していない原因や，県内で増加や減少している地域を詳細に調べることで，スズメの個体数に影響を与えている環境要因を明らかにしていきたい．

Educational support for Africa in Japan
Yuzuki Tsunoda

Yuna Hara

Research Purpose

The current edcational situation in Africa

To research what we should do to give children living in Africa<The reason why African children cannot go to school>

education

Few schools/Too far away from home/No teacher/No money to attend
school/To work for their family etc…

The projects that are working to
improve serious problems

There are about 61 million children who cannot attend elementary school.
Also, 54% of them are girls, and in Africa 180,000 girls have never attended
school.The current Africa primary school enrollment rate is 81% for boys and
77% for gilrs.

1. School of All
It is a school management project that JICA has supported.
It conducted a democratic election and instructed how to make anactivity plans that residents can participate in school management.
→The enrollment rate in Niger has increased from 52% to 68% in
5 years.

2. World Vision
It is an international NGO that carries out development assistance,
emergency humanitarian aid and advocacy for all children, regardless ofreligion, ethnicity, race, and gender. It is working toward a world thatcan grow healthily. →The enrollment rate in Kenya has increased from
72.1% to 81.0% in 12 years.

What can we do?
1. To support money and tools
We propose to provide convenient things used in Japan for children who
cannot go to school and collect money to buy desks and chairs.

2. To provide support to build local people's trust relationshipFor example, villagers gather togather, create time to communicate, teachchildren to play with big numbers, and deepen mutual ties. We can teachthose who do not know the importance of education and give them hope.

I will review the book “Chemical Secret” by Tim Vicary. This is the story aboutcertain kinds of crime—committed against the future. I will summarize the story andexplain why I recommend this book.
First, I will explain the summary. This is a story about a biologist, John Duncan.
He had two children, Christine and Andrew, but they had lost their mother. John
started to work at a paint factory as a scientist. One day, he and other scientists foundthat the factory had been discharging toxic substances. But they ignored it. Christine’s
boyfriend, Simon who was a journalist noticed the pollution. Then Christine and Simon
sailed into the river to take pictures as the evidence, but the boat turned over and shenearly drowned. She was pregnant then. After this incident, John lost his job andChristine became ill because of the toxic substances. In the end, she gave birth to a deadbaby.
Next, I will give you two recommendations. First, I recommend this book because
it shows us how water pollution is dangerous. For example, John gave mice discharged
water to test its toxicity. Then mice became ill and had deformed babies which had six
legs. Having discharged this water, many animals which lived near the river died.
Finally, Christine’s child was born dead too. I think that water pollution affects so many
people and animals. Companies must not take it lightly. We should not think it’s anyone
else’s business too. It might happen someday.
Secondly, I recommend this book because it teaches us the importance of being
honest. For example, John disregarded the toxicity of the water and continued todischarge it. Eventually, he killed his grandchild indirectly. He was blinded by benefits
and committed a sort of crime. It shows that if you do something bad, you’ll receive
punishment somewhere.
In conclusion, this is a new kind of warning for us that ends in irony. We can learn
not only about the importance of nature conservation but also a life lesson, theimportance of being honest. So I would recommend this book for these reasons.

Title:Magic Tree House ‐Vacation under the volcano‐1125 Yuuna Hara

I will review the book “Magic tree house-vacation under the volcano-” by Mary Pope
Osborne. This is the story about the adventure of a magic tree house to accomplish
missions sent from a witch. I will discuss the summary and explain why I recommend
this book.
First, I will summarize the book. One day, Jack and Annie who live in America, find a“magic tree house” that can travel beyond time and space. This time they travel ancient
Rome to save a book that was lost almost 2000 years ago. As they faced unexpecteddifficulties, they finally find the book. However, just at that moment, a volcano suddenly
erupts. And the way to go back to their home is destroyed. They almost die, but amiracle happens. A giant, strong man appears from the book and helps them! So they
can go back to their home safely, and also they can save the book, too.
Next, I will give my two recommendations. First, I would recommend this book because
it teaches us a lot of real knowledges of history, culture, geography and so on. For
example, I learned about the eruption of Rome that happened about 2000 years ago.
And I also learned about life of Romans from this book, too. I think it is important tolearn world history in order to work in society. If you know much about history, you canunderstand today’s world situation better, and can find the solutions of some problems.
In addition, by learning different culture, we can broaden our horizon and enjoy
communication with foreign people. Therefore, I think this book teaches us a lot ofimportant knowledges.
Next, I would recommend this book because I learn that if we have a strong bond, we
can get over any difficulties. In this story, Jack and Annie helped each other to find thebook in ancient Rome. Also, they cheered each other up when they had trouble. I thinkthat’s why the miracle happened. We cannot live alone, so I want to have strong bonds
with my friends and family. If you read this book, you will feel that, too. Therefore I
think this book also teaches us the importance of strong bonds.
In conclusion, this is a story about wonderful adventures of magic. And I recommend
the book because it teaches us a lot of knowledges and the power of strong bonds.

How to Stay Healthy1203 Natsuki Akiyama

I will review the book “How to Stay Healthy” by Oxford University Press. Thisis a book about thinking about the exercise that you do and the food that you eat
and discovering more about how to stay healthy. I will discuss the summary andexplain why I don’t recommend this book.
First, I will summarize the book. This book is about knowing how to live yourlife more healthy. It is a book that teaches various things necessary for ahealthy life. The contents of this book can be roughly divided as meals, exercise,and sleep. First of all, in terms of meals there is a new problem that people are
getting fatter because a lot of food today is unhealthy. So you don’t eat too muchfood with suger, fat, and salt. Also, It’s important to wash your hands, and brush
your teeth to wash away microbes. Second, it’s good to do some exercise because
it makes you feel good and it even helps you to work better. Third, it’s very
important to rest and sleep to work your brain well and feel good and happy.
Next, I will give my two recommendations. First, I wouldn’t recommend thisbook because this book’s content is too rough, I don’t know exactly what weshould do. For example, this book explains the nutrition of each food in order to
eat the right food, but I think many people don’t know how to change their own
dietary habits even if they can know then. So, I think that it’s necessary to havea concrete example. Then, the reader finds what to do the next day. Therefore I
think that this book’s content is too rough, I don’t know exactly what we shoulddo.
Next, I wouldn’t recommend this book because it’s not convincing. That’s
because there is no ground for experiences, or experiments and so on. For
example, this book shows that most people sleep between six and eight hours
every night, but it’s the thing that most people already know. There is no basis
for how our body would change by taking sleep, and I just feel like showing thefacts. I think that it’s necessary to experiment to understand the difference in
activity between sleeping people and non-sleeping people. Therefore, this book is
not very good because it is not convincing.
In conclusion, this book teaches us what you should eat, to do exercise and havea lot of sleep. I wouldn’t recommend this book because it is not convincing andcontent is too rough.

Book Report
1211 Haruno Imaizumi
Title: Louis Braille - The Boy Who Invented Books for the Blind
I will review the book Louis Braille - The Boy Who Invented Books for the Blind by MargaretDavidson. This is a story about the importance of never giving up and supporting others whomake an effort. I will discuss the summary and explain why I recommend this book.
First, I will summarize the book. This is a story about a boy named Louis Braille who invented
new alphabet letters for the blind that are generally used today. Louis had lost his eye sight inan accident when he was a child. As he grew up, he began to be interested in learning andmoved alone to go to a school for the blind and to read books for them. However, he wasdisappointed at them because it was too difficult for the blind to understand the book. After
that, he started to think a better alphabet and a few years later, he invented his new alphabet.
Though his new alphabet didn’t spread rapidly, currently, more and more blind people canenjoy books thanks to his invention.
Next, I will give my two recommendations. First, I would recommend this book because his
attitude for invention tells us the importance of never giving up. While he had invented his
new alphabet, he had many troubles such as being banned from thinking about new thingsfrom an old-fashioned teacher and his disease. But he didn’t give up thinking about it. So I
think overcoming hardships is important to make our dreams come true. Sometimes we may
feel that it is very hard to overcome difficulties but Louis’ attitude will encourage us after weread this book.
Next, I would recommend this book because it teaches us the importance of supporting
others who make an effort. In this story, actually, it took more time spreading Louis’ alphabet
than inventing it. That is because lack of support from people around him. This shows how
important support from others is! I think we should keep this in mind and help others who dotheir best. They will do well and also they may help us when we make an effort.
In conclusion, Louis Braille’s alphabet helps many people all over the world today. I
recommend this book because it teaches us many important things through his life. Pleasefeel his greatness not only as an inventor but also a human by reading this book.

Book Report
Title: Animals in Danger
1304 Iwasaki Mayu
I will review the book “Animals in Danger” by Andy Hopkins and Joc Potter. This book is
written about animals and humans. I will explain the summary and discuss why I would
recommend this book to a friend.
First, I will summarize the book. Animals always in danger from changes natural world.
People are a great danger to animals. They take their land and cut down trees where animals
have their homes. They pollute the river and seas, and kill big animals for their skins or for
medicine. Now there are about 7,000 species of animals in danger.
Next, I will give my tow recommendations. First, I would recommend this book because I
often watch the news about endangered species. I think it is not good. For example, if almost
animals become extinct, we cannot see them and play with them. It makes me sad. Therefore,
it’ not good for animals and we might animals to go extinct.
Next, I would recommend this book because pollution is killing animals. A lot of pollution
comes from cars, ships and planes. We must change it. For example, we can walk to work or
school, or go by bicycle. It is a small change, but not everyone can make big changes to theworld. we should make small changes. In addition, there are animal charities in every country,
and animals need help. So we can stay at home and give money. We can work hard to help
animals. Therefore, I would recommend this book.
In conclusion, this is a very important book for people. I would recommend this book to afriend because we must help animals and it is not good us to cause animals to go extinct.

THE LITTLE MATCH GIRL
1311 Mitsuki Kanbayashi
Hallo, thank you for coming to listen to my presentation today. Let
me introduce myself. My name is Kanbayashi Mitsuki. I will review
the book is the Little Match Girl by Hans Christian Andersen. Pleaselisten.
This is a story about a poor young girl. I will discuss the summaryand explain why I recommend this book.
First, I will summarize the book. The main character is a little girl
who is poor and battered by her parents. It’s a cold day, she can’t sell
any of her matches to people in the street. She can’t come back homewith no money, because her parents want money. She becomes colder.
She strikes a match to stay warm. Then she sees a hot stove, richpeople’s houses, Christmas trees, and wonderful things to eat. She
also remembers her grandmother –now sadly dead. Again she strikes
a match on the wall. Suddenly she sees her grandmother. She cries〈Grandmother, please take me with you.〉Then, she flies up happily
in to the sky with her grandmother.
Next, I will give my two recommendation. First, I would recommend
this book to a friend. Because, this story can move your mind. The
main character is a little girl who is poor and battered by her parents.
So, you may feel sorry for the little girl. When the girl sees a hot stove
and so on, you may have hope for the girl to become happy. But, when
they go away, you may feel sorry for little girl again. Finally, when thegirl flies up with her grandmother, you may be relieved. In a way, yourmind can be moved by this story.
Next, I would not recommend this book to a friend. Because thisstory has a happy end but, it can be taken as a bad end too. The girlflies up happily in to the sky with her grandmother. But, that means
the girl goes away. It is written in this story. I think if the girl had not
died, she might have been happy in the future.
In conclusion, this story can move your mind. But, I think that if
the girl didn’t die this story would be better. However, if anything, I
would recommend this book to a friend.
Thank you for listening. Do you have any questions?

TitleWilliamandKate
1406 Imai Saki

I will review the book ‘William and Kate’ by Christine Lindop.
This book is Kate’s Cinderella story. Also , it shows Kate and William’ a longroad to get married. You probably think who is Kate? or why this book is
Cinderella story? Kate was ordinary person until she entered college. When
she was child, she was good at doing sport and school work .One day she
took part in college fashion show. After that , big change happened. She met

ring which was princess Diana’s thing. It is beautiful blue diamond. Friday
29 April, William and Kate held a wedding ceremony. Many people all over
the word looking forward to the wedding. It made them happy. Now William

The Happy Prince1413 Kiso Miyuna

Suddenly, what is your happiness? I think there are many ideas. But what about helping
your friends? This story made me think about it. I will review the book “The Happy Prince”
by Oscar Wild. This is a story about the importance of consideration for others. I will explain
the summary and discuss why I would recommend this book.
First, I will summarize the book. The main characters of this story are The Happy Prince
and a swallow. The Happy Prince is golden and has two sapphire’s eyes and a sword with aruby. He can’t move by himself because he is a statue. One night, the statue met the swallow.
The statue asked him to pull a ruby, two sapphires and the gold leaf from his sword and bodyand take them to poor people in a town to help them. So, the swallow took them. But the
town was becoming very cold, the swallow passed away and the statue was taken away andmelted because he looked old and gray. But in the end, they were brought to heaven by anangel and able to live together forever.
Next, I will give my two recommendations. First, I would recommend “The Happy Prince”
because we can learn the importance of consideration for others. For example, swallows
usually don’t like cold weather and the swallow in this story didn’t either. And he wanted to
go to Egypt. But he chose to live in the town to help people at the cost of himself. I think it’sdifficult for us to do that. This is his consideration for poor people and The Happy Prince.
Therefore, I think we can learn an important thing because “sacrificing oneself to help people”
is not easy.
Next, I would recommend this book because the ending is both sad and happy. For
example, the swallow died because of the cold weather and The Happy Prince was melted
because the city’s people didn’t know he was helping them, so people didn’t treasure him. I
think it’s very hard, but God did not desert them. So, they can live forever. Therefore, this isa good story because the ending is both sad and happy.
In conclusion, this is a fairy tale about the importance of consideration for others. I would
recommend this book because the ending is both sad and happy and “sacrificing oneself tohelp people” is not easy.
When you were a child, you may have read this story in Japanese. But reading this story
in English is also fun. Please read this story in English!

ALADDIN
1521 Arisa Shimizu
Hello everyone. Welcome to my book report presentation.
My name is Arisa Shimizu. It’s pleasure to meet you. Today, I’ll
introduce Aladdin. Now, let me begin.
I will review the book “Aladdin” by Disney. It is a story about howtrue love can win over others and tells what is right. I will explain thesummary, and discuss why I would recommend this book to a friend.
First, I’ll summarize the book. This story is about a poor boy named
Aladdin. He often stole things which he needed for his life. One day,he met a beautiful girl -Princess Jasmine in the market. He fell in lovewith her at first sight. But he was arrested for being mistaken for athief who was trying to kidnap the Princess. It was King Sultan’s aideJafar’s strategy. Jafar wanted Aladdin to open a cave that was filledwith treasure. The most precious treasure in the cave for him was a
magic lamp in which Genie lived. He was trying to conquer the country.
Genie could make three wishes. Aladdin got out of the prison by Jafar
disguised as an old man. They went to the cave and found the lamp.
Aladdin was confined in the cave, but he encountered Genie andwished himself converted to become “Prince Ali” to date Jasmine. He
dated her with a provisional appearance, but she noticed that hehadn’t been showing his real appearance. Even though she realized
that, she loved him. Finally, they got married and Jafar was confinedin the lamp.
Next, I will give my two recommendations. First, I would
recommend this story because it teaches us an important lesson. For
example, Aladdin was a very poor boy, and Jasmine was a princess of
their country. Finally, they got married. It means love can exceed evensocial status. Nothing is stronger than true love. It’s a romantic story.
So, I would recommend the story because it teaches us a good lesson.
Second, I would recommend this story because wicked people were
punished in the story. For example, Jafar was confined in the lamp in
the end because he had done a lot of wrong acts. The story makes us
felt better after reading. It’s right! This story shows us what is right.
So, I would recommend the story because wicked people were
punished in the story.
In conclusion, this is a nice story about true love that we yearn for.
So, I would recommend this story because it is a romantic story andit shows what is right. Why don’t you read it?
Thank you for listening. Do you have any questions?

Audrey Hepburn1532 Mari Hirabayashi
I will review the book "Audrey Hepburn" by Chris Rice.
beautiful and great actress who was loved by the world.

This is a story about a
I will discuss the summary

and why I recommend this book.
First, I will summarize the book.

This story is about Audrey Hepburn.

She wasborn in the year before World War Ⅱ. She wanted to be a dancer, but her dream didn't
come true because she was too tall.

She was sad but it changed her life.

she began to play in movies and musicals.
and made Audrey world-famous.

After that,"Roman Holiday" was her first big movie

She had fallen in love with some men in her life.

Mel Ferrer was one of them and he married her.

She became pregnant and stopped

Four years later, she became pregnant

again but this time, she didn't stop making movies and she lost her baby for the second
time.

Audrey felt very bad and regretful.

named Sean.
movies.

She was happy.

Two years later, she gave birth to a boy

Her family was always more important to her than her

Some time later, she started to work for the United Nations to help poor andhungry children.

She gave children courage and hope.

On January 20,1993, Audrey

Hepburn died. She was sixty-four.
Next, I will give my two recommendations. First, I would recommend this bookbecause Audrey always showed a warm, friendly face to the world when there were
unhappy time for her.

For example, she had painful experiences such as Dutch people

were occupied by France during World War Ⅱ and she had had a miscarriage manytimes.

Nevertheless, she continued acting in movies and gave people a lot of

impressions.

I think she is tough at heart.

Next, I would recommend this book because Audrey always thought about others
more than herself.

For example, she visited the poorest and most dangerous countries

in the world to help poor and hungry children. She talked on television about them.
Also, Audrey's last words in the last movie called "Always" are "Do things for others."Ithink this is not only her lines but also her mind.
In conclusion, this is a story about a wonderful woman that people still love now!

I

would recommend this book to a friend because Audrey always lived cheerfully for theworld and has real kindness.

I want to be a woman like her some day.

The Real McCoy
1609 Mayuha Otsuki
Hello, thank you for coming to my presentation. Let me
introduce myself. My name is Mayuha Otsuki. Please listen.
Do you believe in ghosts? I will review this “The Real McCoy” byLesley Thompson. This is a story about “true” ghosts. I will explain
the summary, and discuss why I would recommend this book to afriend.
First, I will summarize the book. This story is about a man. Hisname is Gordon. He is in a very old castle with his friends- Duncan,
Fiona and Heather. The living room of this castle has a picture of
Lord McCoy and his old sword. At night, Gordon was sleeping in
Lord McCoy’s bedroom. At that time, Duncan said to Fiona andHeather, “I’m going to go to McCoy’s bedroom and have a laugh!”.
But this was the start of the fear.
Next, I will give my two recommendations. First, I would
recommend “The Real McCoy” by Lesley Thompson because thisbook is contrary to our expectations, so we can feel more scared.
That night, something moved Gordon’s feet. He was very veryscared. He got up and jumped down all the stairs to the door of theliving room. Then he saw Duncan and said “It was you!”. I also
thought it was Duncan because he thought to surprise Gordon. But
it really wasn’t Duncan, Fiona or Heather. They were sleeping
without surprising Gordon. Also, there was no sword there now. If
I’m in this situation, I can’t move at all. Therefore, I think that
this book is contrary to our expectations.
Next, I would recommend this book to a friend because we cansee the change in the character’s heart. At first, Gordon said ‘It
isn’t a true ghost!’ as he sees Lord McCoy’s picture. He didn’t
believe in the ghost at all. However, he said ‘The ghost in my room
was “the real McCoy”!!’ to his friends at last. These words are hard
evidence that shows his heart changed. I think it’s interesting thathe shouted this book’s title “The Real McCoy”.
Let’s read this book, and you may be able to see not only thecharacter’s heart but also the true ghost.
Thank you for listening. Do you have any questions?

HIDDEN FIGURES
1616 Kohko Takizawa
Hello, thank you for coming to listen to my presentation today. Let me introduce myself.
My name is Takizawa Kohko. I’ll introduce HIDDEN FIGURES to you.
I will review the book ”HIDDEN FIGURES” by Margot Lee Shetterly. This is a story
about how four black women mathematicians in NASA , helped rocket project and madetheir dream become true. I’ll discuss the summary and explain why I recommend thisbook. First, I will summarize this book. This is a book about the experiences of four
women, Dorothy Vaughan, Mary Jackson, Katherine Johnson and Christine Darden inNASA (NACA). After World WarⅡ, there was racial discrimination against blacks andwomen. Such a situation was seen everywhere in America. Four women were working in
the calculating center in the west part of NASA. There were only black women. At thattime, Soviet Union and America were having space race. Katherine did the last calculationof Mercury’s success, which means she helped the first American manned flight.
Techniques and talents won’t choose people. We should respect others not by their look,but their passions, dream and their heart. Next, I will give my two recommendations.
First, I would recommend because this will encourage many girls who have a dream.
For example, four women began as a “computer Girl” but they made their dream cometrue and changed the face of air and space travel. I was so surprised to learn black
women’s great success in such a hard era for black women. If I were in such a situation,
I couldn’t do as these women. Therefore, the story encourages girls even if they are in a
hard situation.
Next, I would recommend this book because we can think about gender equality andequal opportunity.

For example, at the start of this story, women weren’t able to do animportant job . They didn’t have equal opportunity for work. Four women were just doing“calculations” all day. Engineer were thought to be man’s job and women were said to doalmost nothing. But they broke this situation with their own talents. This is a shocking
discrimination against women. But I was moved by these women’s action which they
didn’t give up. Therefore, this book teaches us about four successful African-American
women mathematicians. I would recommend this book to a friend because the story
encourages many girls and teaches us about gender equality and equal opportunity.
Thank you for listening. Do you have any questions?

MULAN
1710

Honoka Kawano

Hello, thank you for coming to listen to my presentation. Today, I will
introduce MULAN to you. Please listen.
I will review the book MULAN. This story is about a Chinese young girlfighting as a soldier. I will discuss the summary and explain why I
recommend this book.
There was a young girl named Mulan in China centuries ago. She lived
with her father, her mother and her grandmother. One day, soldiers cameto her house and ordered her father to fight in the army. Her father was
sick, so Mulan went to the army camp instead of her father. At the camp,
she trained hard. Some months later, Shan-Yu, the leader of the enemy,
tried to attack the Chinese Emperor. Mulan fought against the enemy withher great ideas. She and her companions saved the Emperor and theircountry.
I would recommend this book because we can enjoy its exciting story about
the brave heroine, Mulan. She is a woman, but she went to the army camp
and trained as hard as the other men. Also, she fought against the enemy.
I can’t pretend to be a man. I can’t fight as a solider, either. I was
encouraged by her because she tried hard and resulted in great success.
Next, I would recommend this book because she always came up with goodideas. Now, I’ll tell you some information about her situation. First, you
are on a snow-covered mountain. Second, there are many enemies in frontof you. Third, you can use arrows and cannons. In this situation, what
will you do? Actually, she used the snow to make it impossible for theenemy to escape. She shot the cannon at the top of the mountain, not at
the enemy. Then, the snow from the high mountain began to fall. A great
wave of snow moved down and covered them all. Her unique and greatideas contributed to saving the country. With her great ideas, she got
through many difficulties that she faced. I think it is wise of her to use
things around her in different and surprising ways.
This story tells us the importance of courage and wisdom.
In conclusion, I would recommend this book because Mulan always cameup with good ideas and we can enjoy its exciting story. I would like you toread this book and enjoy it.
Thank you for listening. Do you have any questions?

“All About Ocean Life”
1730 Hatori Sakura
I will review the book “All About Ocean Life” written by Rachel Bladon.
I will discuss the summary and explain why I recommend this book.
First, I will summarize the contents. This book is about oceans and living things.
The five oceans which cover 70％ of the Earth are home to many types of living things.
There is “A Food Chain” in the sea, and living things that are concerned with the oceans are not onlyfish
but also mammals, plants, coral and other things. They have special features to survive.
For example, penguins and polar bears have special body parts that keep them warm and dry because
they swim between ice and icebergs. However, such biodiversity is being lost because of thedestruction caused by us. We need to save the wonderful biodiversity.
Next, I will give my two recommendations. First, it is easy to read because there are many
photographs andexplanations for difficult terms. For example, have you ever heard the word “Limpet”?
I didn’t know what it is. This picture is of Limpets-a kind of shellfish which sticks to rocks.
I could understand it thanks to the photographs and explanations.
Second, we can get the right knowledge about the ocean’s problems through this book. For example,
the Decreasing of fish from over fishing and seawater pollution from dirty water and chemicals. We
can consider these facts seriously.
Next, I would recommend this book to friends because reading it can be a chance to know about
interesting
creatures and the relation between the oceans and our lives. If you read it, you will learn about ocean
life, furthermore, you will want to know about them more.
In conclusion, I recommend this book because it will help us in getting many knowledge and change
our lives.
If we continue to destroy the environment, we will kill the great number of living things and makethem extinct.
It means that it is not too much to say we harm ourselves. I thought we must start to do what we cando.
This book tells us something important. So, let’s read this book!
