この本はとてもおもしろです。一半はジョンさんのDIYです。ジーンズを切って、バスにのりました。それから、おばあさんはジョンさんにお金をあげました。ちょっと大変。。。
This book was really funny for its length! The first story detailed John’s DIY “fashionable” jeans, and the second story was a day in the life. I think that in a way, John was a little relatable when he was late to class by sleeping through an entire loop of the Yamanote Line….
This story gave me a warm feeling. It was the kind of story I like to read on my own so I could give it my full attention. It was fast-paced and lots of fun. The ending of the story made me laugh even though I should have expected it! The illustrations are so soft and cozy.
I would definitely recommend this story to everyone taking Japanese. Whether a beginner looking for a good start or someone who’s at a more advanced level looking to take a break, this story feels like it would never get old. It’s a book I’d like to revisit in the years to come.
鈴木正雄さんはバスの運転手です。ある日の夜に、死んだおばあさんを見ました。おばあさんは正雄さんに会って、うれしかったです。実は、正雄さんのバスがトラックにぶつかりました。でも、正雄さんは今元気になってよかったです。
In this book, a young driver saw his dead grandma. However, the truth is that his bus crashed into a trunk and he dreamed his grandma. I thought it was a horror story, but it is a warm story. I recommend it to Japanese first year students.
電車の乗るは大変ですね。ジョンさんは電車に乗りに学校にいきました。ジョンさんは昨日の夜友達とカラオケをしました。だkカラオケをしました。だからとても眠かったです。だから学校に１０時５分にいました。この本はちょっとこの本はちょっとつまらなくて、難しくて、高いです。
I liked this book and found it interesting but it seemed to have 2 stories that were sort of disconnected. One is about John’s failed attempt at DIY jeans he saw in a magazine and the other is about him sleeping on the train, missing his stop, and arriving late for school. Regardless, it was and interesting book, even though it was more challenging than i expected it would be for a level 1 Graded Reader. I would recommend it to a 1st year Japanese student who doesn’t mind a longer, less interesting read。
I really enjoyed this story! The main focus of the book was, of course, Sakura, or cherry blossoms, and their appearance in different parts of Japan. I was surprised to find myself so interested in a book about flowers!
I highly recommend this book to Japanese 1 students as it is almost completely understandable. This is due party to the books great use of pictures, which provide context when needed. The book uses a lot of the sentence structures that we see in class and is an excellent source of practice.
この本はたのしくておもしろいです！ときどきかんじがありますが、ひらがなもあります。
This book was funny and an easy read for Japanese 110 students. There are a few unknown kanji, but the pictures and hiragana make it easy to infer what is going on. I would highly recommend it to Japanese first years.
この本は ちょっと むずかしいですが、たのしくて とても おもしろいです。きれいな しゃしんが たくさん あります。私は この本が 好きです。
This book is great for people taking JPN 110 or 111! There’s some new vocabulary, but a lot of it is familiar. What you don’t understand you can easily infer. Plus, it’s great for reviewing the vocabulary about how to put on clothing! Also, it lets you learn a little bit about Japanese history. Don’t be intimidated by the fact that it’s a Level 1 book – it’s definitely worth a read!
この本わおもしろいです。むずかしいじゃないです。やさしくて、たのしいです。たくさんカタカナとしゃしんがあります。
This book is a great quick read, and I highly recommend it for Japanese 110 students. There is not a lot of text, and the illustrations really make the context clear. There is a solid amount of Katakana, with the Hiragana aids written above, so it is good practice for that. The story line was entertaining, and perfect for the holiday season!
私わこの本が大すきです。この本わとてもおもしろくて、えがたくさんあります。日本の着物のれきしはながいです。日本の着物はほんとにきれいですねえ。着物はいろいろあります。私ははおりが好きです。かっこいいですから。
I love this book! This book is very interesting and contains many pictures. Traditional Japanese clothing has a long history. It is really beautiful. There are different kinds of traditional clothing, among which I like haori the best because it looks cool.
I would recommend this book to every Japanese student. This book is fun to read for there are many interesting and nice illustrations. Even though it might be challenging to students who just start to learn Japanese or students who do not know many kanji, this book is worth reading. Students can get to know Japanese culture.

この本はかなしくて、おもしろくて、たのしいです。二十歳、鈴木正雄さんはバスのうんてんしゃです。おばあさんに会いました。でも、鈴木さんのおばあさんは十年前死んでいました。
This book is about Suzuki Masao who is 20 years old and drives a bus. Not expecting much from this, I was actually really surprised by the trip this book took me on. A fair amount of strange things happened, and I was really happy that I understood what was going on. I would recommend this to first year students.
