BR:1-10 Water World

More than 50 per cent of the human body is made up of water. (p.9)

This time, I learned how much importance of water from this book all over again. I know there’s no point in saying again, but without water, people, animals and plants could not live. I haven’t ever noticed that we can get some water from foods. For example, tomato has 95 per cent water, apple has 85 per cent water and corn has 70 per cent water. I haven’t known these facts. When I eat various foods, I take in a lot of water without even realizing it. It was so amazing for me. And I thought that humans  enjoy the blessings of water from Earth. People should be deeply grateful to blessing from Earth. People have to try to protect this important resource and leave it for future generations. And we must use water more precious.

BR:1-09 Money travel

This 50 cent coin has travelled a long way. (p.5)

I learned a lot of money where to go and go back to from this book. It was very interesting story. I knew the place called “mint” for the first time. The mint is where coins are made. And from the mint, coins are sent to back. I have been wondered money where to go and go back to for a long time. This time, finally I unraveled the mystery. Interesting thing for me is that money go in and out of a lot of hands and go in and out of a lot of shops and a lot of banks. In other words, money has been traveled. Money that I paid a shop may go to Hokkaido, Tokyo, Okinawa and so on. And at the last, it will go back to a bank. It’s very interesting for me. Don’t you think interesting? This is a good lesson for me. Not to change the subject, I would like to use money I have more precious. My aim is that not waste money!

New Year is the time to say goodbye to the old year. (p.5)

I thought about that how to greet the New Year from this book. There are a lot of how to celebrate New Year all over the world. Even in Japan, there are how to celebrate New Year. Last year, I spent seeing the old year out while I watched TV that Johnny’s appeared. Every year, I spent in the way. But I’ll think it over once more. In this book, at New Year, people can say thanks for the good times they had over the last year. At New Year, people can think of the year that is to come.

BR:1-07 BARTERING

Over the years, even countries have bartered with one another. (p.15)

This time, I could think about our human’s life style all over again. I have never thought about bartering before I read this book. I knew there’s no point in saying it again, but we are living by buying goods and services with money. To my surprise, people have been bought goods and services with money for more than 2500 years. And, people have been bartering for more longer. On reflection, one’s neighbors are often bartered. When I was in the elementary school, I often bartered with my friends. For example, a seal, a pen and so on. Bartering was a kind of children’s play. And on reflection, bartering grew bigger over the world. I thought that bartering is trade. I wonder that bartering is a wonderful civilization. But contemporary trade is a terrible economic problem all over the world. And I think that bartering should be looked over again.
