BR2-03: Taking Off

I read “Taking Off” which is illustrated book. This book has a small CD, and has 3 chapters.

Anna jumped on her new skateboard and raced down the hill. She is happy because her mother bought a new skateboard for Anna. She founds a some kids. "Hey!" she shouted to some kids who were out on the street. "Cool skateboard," said her friends, Mick. Anna picked up her skateboard and passed it to Mick. He looked at it. He said "Can I take it for a ride?” But Anna said "No". But he forcibly rides an Anna's skateboard.

He raced off down the street. "Come back!" shouted Anna. But He did not stop. So she grabbed it and raced off after Mick. Anna could see Mick up ahead. "Hey! Look out for the bump!" She shouted. Mick looked back. He was shocked to see Anna behind him. "Look out!" she shouted again. But it was too late. Mick went over the bump and fell off.

Mick was sitting on the ground. "Are you okay?" said Anna. Mick nodded. Anna looked at her skateboard. A little bit of paint had come off it. She is very sad. Mick is apologize for Anna. She said "Why are you take my skateboard?". He said "I'm sorry, I just wanted to have a go and my mum doesn't have the money to get me a skateboard". "I'm really, really sorry" Mick said again. Anna pardoned his blunder.

After I read this book, I think he really wants to a skateboard. So he forcibly ride a Anna's new skateboard. I also understand the feelings of his. My favorite phrase of the book was "I could do some jobs to get money". I think he thinks about himself. So he decided to work. This book is interesting! I recommend it.
