今読んでいる本。
’The Illustrated Mum' by Jacquieline Wilson.
イギリスのティーン用の読み物。これがいい本なのよ。
お勉強用に読み始めたんだけど、なかなか考えさせられる。
表紙が表紙だからバカにしちゃいそうだけど。
思い込みっていうのはいけないね。
日本だと子供用って聞くとそれもバカにしちゃうけどいけないね。
最近の誰が誰を好きでなんていうのより全然おもしろい。
日本でももっとこういう本がでるといいのにな。

Now, I’m reading ‘The Illustrated Mum’ by Jacqueline Wilson. I don’t know if it is for my study or my fun. This book is very interesting, because it is for teenaged children, so easy to read. But for me it is not so smooth reading. But if I use CD, it is not difficult at all. In the CD, the lady who reads this book reads quite fast with a British accent. And she is quite good. That British rhythm leads me to understand easily. The Harry Potter series has a CD series, too. That one is the same. His British accent and rhythm help me to understand books faster. I like reading and listening at the same time, it is tiring, but that speed makes the books lively.
