木村家の毎日結婚式

この本はについて日本の結婚式です。たくさんあたらしいたんごで面白いと思います。神社の結婚式はたのしくて、にぎやかです。

This book is about what a conventional wedding looks like in today’s Japan. It is very interesting to see how the wedding happens in a shrine and the traditional rituals associated with it, such as drinking osake in front of the kamikima. I hope the book could provide more insight into why people do this though. I also found that Japanese people also give money to the new couple, which is very similar to what we do in China. And it is actually quite embarrassing if you forget to give the money.

I would recommend this book because of its simple grammar and interesting new terms. The illustrations are very beautiful as well.

ココと星子

この本はとても面白くて、私は大好きです。ココさんは十二さいです。友達がいません。でも、ある日星子さんにあいましだ。星子さんは天にすんでいますでいます。ココさんと星子さんとは友達です。

This story is about a friendship between a girl called Koko and a boy called Hoshi who lives in the sky. They are both very lonely and when they meet, they quickly become best friends. Hoshi has very low self-esteem and thinks that he is not smart nor kind enough. He is scared to go back to his family. But Koko helps him to see that his family does care about him and he is not as bad as he thought. Finally, Hoshi goes back to the sky and Koko waits every night to wait for hearing him back.

I would definitely recommend this book to other students. The manga is very precisely and vividly down by our senpai. And there is a variety of sentence structures and word choices that are covered by what we learned so far as JPN 110 students. The plotline has up and down which also makes the reading enjoyable. I like how the ending of Koko waiting for Hoshi echos the scene in the beginning. This book is very imaginative and inspiring.
