Book Club Report #3

Title of Book: The Chronicles of Narnia, it has 7 books in this series but I'm reading book 1: The Magician's Nephew. It has 202 pages and I'm now on page 34, I've read 16 pages this week. I understand about 85% what I read after many times read it again and again.
The most significant thing that impressed me in the book this week is: the moment when Digory touched the yellow ring, he would vanish out of the world and went to another place that he never know. He had to do that because he wanted to come the place that his uncle Andrew hid Polly (his friend). The only way to help Polly came back home is that she must touch the green ring. And the only one brought the ring for her was Digory.
In think that moment was the most significant because it would begin a very long dangerous trip to rescue Polly. Digory is a little schoolboy and he never believe in magic till that day. He had no alternative and the adventure began from the moment he touched the yellow ring.

The book I'm reading is till The Chronicles of Narnia. It has totally 202 pages and I'm now..let's see..in page 22. ^^ The book is a little bit difficult so I had to read it again and again. I understand about 65% of what I read. Gail recommended me to watch the film first before reading book. I've just borrowed the film from a friend of my uncle but I don't have time to watch it. I'm going to watch the film this weekend..
I think the setting of the book is a little bit confusing; therefore, It makes me confused. At the beginning of the book the writer said: "THIS IS A STORY ABOUT SOMETHING that happened long ago...". He also mentioned Mr. Sherlock Holmes. I just know that this story begins in London around 1900. And Digory is the most interesting character. He is a young boy and I think there will be a lot of fantasy things happen with him and Polly. I'm eager to know what will happen next, maybe they will have many obstacles and dangers in their way to the magical land (lol, good imagination huh?)

The book I'm reading is The Chronicles of Narnia. There are 7 books in all, but I just read book 1 of this series. The title of the book is The Magician's Nephew, the author is C.S.Lewis. It has 202 pages and I'm now on page 18 (Chapter 1). I think I just understand about 65%. The vocabulary is not very difficult but it's hard for me to comprehend the whole story. My uncle's girl friend recommend this book for me.(-0)
This is a story about 2 young people : Digory and Polly, "they meet and become friends one cold, wet summer in London.Their lives burst into adventure when Digory's uncle Andrew, who thinks he is a magician, send them hurtling to... somewhere else. They find their way to Narnia, newborn from the Lion's song, and encounter the evil sorceress Jadis before they finally return home..."
I think this book's interesting for those who like magical book and I will like to read this book, too.I usually read book before going to bed every night.
( Sometimes it's make me feel sleepy and I'll go to bed easily...hehe=))

Welcome to my world!! :))

Hi everybody! I'm Na.
Not like other people, it's a complicated thing for me to describe about myself. This is my 2nd blog but it's my 1st blog in English. When Gail said "Everybody must create a blog" I was very interested in that but I had problem to talk "about me"...hmm =)).
I'm a Vietnamese student.I've been in Seattle for 3 months, so I've already known a few interesting places in Seattle. I usually go out with my friend on the weekend.I'm very surprised when I find many Vietnamese people in Seattle and also in our school, so it isn't difficult for me to get used to with everything here.
I really like to make friend with everyone.Someone think I'm friendly and funny but some think I'm a little naughty and stubborn.(>?-) lol, whatever...Let's find out who am I??My hobbies are go online every night,play sport, watch movie and write diary.Let's talk about my major. I'd like to study Tourism because I wanna become a tourist guide, but my health is not very good to do that and maybe this job isn't suitable for me. I'm about to chose Business( financial, banking or marketing...)as my future major.
My pronunciation is not very good, so pls help me and we will improve together.
My last quarter is a wonderful one, I did pretty good in my class. I hope I will keep on doing well this quarter. This quarter, I have 4 classes so I have to change classroom every 50 minutes. It’s a little bit tired but I enjoy this thing coz I have more new friends and I have to speak English more often.
“Everything will be ok” I'm most likely to say this sentence. Wish you all have an excellent quarter in Gail's class. :x-
