タクシー

Taxi

この本は、さいきん読んだ本とちょっとちがいます。12歳の女の子はタクシーに乗って、家に帰る話だけだと思いました。最後に悲しい事実を知って、ちょっとびっくりしました。でも、とても面白い話でした。

At first, this book seems to tell the simple story of a taxi driver bringing a young girl back home. When the book reaches its end, however, the shocking truth about the girl is revealed. The plot twist was something I wasn’t expecting, and it made the story an interesting read. None of the kanji or vocab were too difficult to understand, so I would definitely suggest this book. It was probably my favorite book out of the 5 or 6 Tadoku books I’ve read so far.

タクシー

本のタクシーはかなしいですよ！まえ、ストリはいい。でもきょうに、とてもかなしです。

タクシー is a short story about a taxi driver who helps a young girl. It is more serious of a subject than a lot of the other level 2 books, which makes it interesting. It’s not an incredibly challenging read but it offers some new vocabulary and puts into context kanji we have learned so far.

ジョンさん日本へ

ジョンさんは日本に行きました。飛行機の中で、きれいな女の子に合いました。同じい漫画を持ってきました。そして、ラフラフのはなしを始めました。このはなしは簡単で、面白いと思います。読んでくださいね。どころで、辞書を見ないほうがいいですよ。とてもとても簡単ですから。

Unlike the other explanatory books I have read so far, this story has some interesting plot lines. Although the story could easily happened in any other context, I enjoyed this book. I would recommend reading it just for a change, but for those of you who want to target books specifically link to Japanese culture or classic tales, maybe you can skip this.

タクシー

This book was a very sad book towards the end, and it was a surprise a bit. The story line was very good and easy to understand. These three characters are important for the story and its plot. The colors throughout the book were great, and the illustrations made it seem like dream-like story.

I recommend this book to anyone, the kanji are very easy to understand, about two words to look up but if you can continue to read you already understand where the story is going. A lot of the verbs we already know. Overall, just a nice story to read if you want a surprise.

笑い話

 

この本はとても面白いですよ。本の中で、たくさん小説があります。小説はちょっと変ですよ、でもかいがはきれいです。This book is a collection of several very short stories. Some are interesting, and some are a bit strange. But the illustrations are very nice!

I’d recommend this book to any first year student who wants a fairly easy read with not much new grammar. The short stories are fairly easy to understand and the pictures are nice to look at.

笠地蔵

 

このほんはとてもよかったです。たくさんきれいえがあります。おじいさんは親切な人だと思います。うれしい本です。

I would definitely recommend this book to other Japanese 1 students. It is easy enough to read, with only some minor grammar points I didn’t understand, and I knew much of the vocabulary as well. It is a heartwarming story with some very beautiful and unique illustrations.

寿司・すし・SUSHI

 

とてもいい本でしたよ！ちしきとれきしがたくさんあって、面白かったです。いろいろなちいきがあって、きれいな絵もありました。私はこの本を読んでよかったです。れきしが大好きで、ちょっと難しくて、楽しかったです。

I would definitely recommend this book! The explanations were very interesting, and the only difficult bits were the words/kanji for specific parts of the sushi, and how to go about making it.  However, it was plenty challenging! I had a lot of fun reading it, and I think others would enjoy it too.

ハチの話

この本は面白かったです。私はとても感動しました。ハチは先生いちばんのともだちでした、でも先生は病気だった、死にました。いえにかえりません。ハチは10年間毎日駅に行って、先生に待ちました。私はハチは寂しかったと思います。

This book is very interesting. It really touches my heart. Hachi is the dog of a college professor, they walk to the train station together everyday, and Hachi wait for the professor at the station in late afternoon to take the professor home. However, the professor died one day, and never return home again. Hachi didn’t know about it, so for ten years, he goes to the train station and wait for the professor’s return. I think Hachi is very very lonely.

I recommend this book to first year Japanese students because it contains a lot of grammar we’ve learned, and I think it will be a great review. Also, there are some new vocabularies that we can learn.

浦島太郎

 

この本は面白いかったと思います。文はちょっとみじかくて、かんたんで、ちょっと難しくなかったです。漢字と新しい単語があるので、楽しかったです。でも、悲しかったと思ういます。

For all that the sentences were simple and short, the story conveyed lots of emotion. The vocabulary was almost all familiar, and there wasn’t much kanji.The ending was kind of sad, but still enjoyable.  I would certainly recommend others give it a try.
