This week, I read "Mission Apollo" written by Lewis Kerr. I had seen "Apollo 11" in my high school day's English class. And in this book, writes about all apolo, and the Shuttle.
The chinese first made rockets a thousand years ago. they used them in their battles against the Mongols.
There is the Cold War in the background space shuttle's development.
Many American space shuttle went to moon. But January 27, 1967 was the worst day in the Apollo program. Virgil Grissom, Edward white and roger Chaffee was Saturn 5's astronauts.
They had got a fire, and they died.
The Apollo program was important, because it showed that people could leave the earth and discover the secret of other worlds.
I read this book, I want to go to moon. Then I want to say, "After all, the earth is blue".

This week, I read "Six Sketches" written by Leslie Dunkling.
This book is Penguin reader's book. This book has 7 contents.
These contents are very short stories, so we can read quickly. These stories are conversational style. These contents are "I'm Right!", "A Good story", "Cheese!", "A Good Match", "Wedding Day", and "The English Teacher".
I like "I'm Right!", "Cheese!" and "The English Teacher". These stories are very interesting. "I'm Right!" 's character are married couple and ticket inspector. The couple are on a train and here comes the ticket inspector. They look for their ticket and show them. She says "I'm right, always", but they got wrong train. I think it is not good to have confidence too much.
