  There are three adventure stories in this book. Actually, I had never read Gulliver's Travels, but this book was very interesting. The first adventure is about the most famous Gulliver wandering into the world of dwarfs. I've seen the picture of Gulliver stuck to the ground, So finaly I understood the meaning of the scene. The second adventure wanders into the world of giants. The final adventure wanders into the world of horses. Every story was very strange and interesting. And in this story, Gulliver meets and talks with people who have different characteristics. At first, they are treated like strangers and attacked, but at the end they become friends. I thought it was very important in real world, too. Please read it.

  This time I read APOLLO 13. This is real story and became a movie in 1995. Do you want to travel in space? Espesially do you want to walk on moon? I just wanted to go there but I found out how brave the astronauts were. In this story three astronauts repeated the simulation and prepared to go to space. Of course they have the family so one of the astronauts, Jim promised his son, Jeffrey to bring the moon rock. Finaly the day has come to fly into space. They succeeded in leaving while being watched by their family. Everything was fine. However, in space they noticed that oxygen was leaking. Moreover It was hard to get in touch with people on earth. It is really bad situations. Can they return to Earth?
