楊柳風和美國西部探險

Last week I read two English books in a row, “The Wind in the Willows” and “The American West”.

The former is a bit strange to me. It’s a story about mole, rat, badger and toad. The author wrote this story for his son.

Toad is rich but sometimes he’s boastful. He likes adventures and he can even steal a car for excitement. His friends, Mole, Rat and Badger try to help him but it’s not an easy task. Read the book “The Wind in the Willows” and find out what happen after Toad is locked up in prison. Friendship is one of the most important thing in life.

How’s the life of a cowboy? Why did the Indians fight with the Americans? Did the gold prospectors really find gold in California?

The American pioneer went to the West and had conflicts with native Indians. There are many exciting stories of the explorers to the West. You will know the lives of the cowboy, outlaws and Indians in “The American West”.

“The Wind in the Willows” (F GRA) and “The American West” (F CLE) are both available in the school library in the new semester.

上星期我接連讀了兩本英文書，”The Wind in the Willows”《楊柳風》和 ”The American West”《美國西部探險》。

前者對我來說有點荒誕，這是個關於鼹鼠、河鼠、獾和蟾蜍的故事，作者是為兒子創作的。

蟾蜍雖然富有但有時卻愛自誇，他熱愛冒險，甚至因而偷車。他的朋友鼹鼠、河鼠和獾想幫助他，可是卻並非易事。閱讀”The Wind in the Willows”《楊柳風》，你會得知蟾蜍被關進監獄後怎麼辦。友誼是人生中最重要的事。

牛仔的生活是怎樣的？印弟安人為什麼和美國人開戰？加州的淘金者真的找到黃金嗎？

美國的拓荒者直闖西部，和土著印弟安人發生衝突。這批西部的的開拓者有很多刺激的經歷，你在”The American West”《美國西部探險》會得知牛仔、逃犯和印弟安人的生活。

“The Wind in the Willows” 《楊柳風》(F GRA) 和 “The American West” 《美國西部探險》(F CLE)新學年將在圖書館推出。
