"Raedeke is very careful about the snow-making process." (p.18.).

I'm not good at sports since when I was a elementary school student, and I caused a lot of miss during the PE classes every time. However, I have practiced skying before. I went to Fukushima as school trip when I was a high school student, and I experienced skying for the first time then. Actually, I was so excited because I hadn't see a lot of snow at that time, so seeing and touching snow was good experience for me. That snow looked not artificial thing. So, it was smooth to touch. Then, I considered about kind of snows. Especially, I was very conscious of artificial snow at that time.

This book picking up about skiing ground. There are many knowledge which I don't know. I was so surprised about the way of how to make snows and how to keep them. There are a lot of clever devices. When I read this book, I remember the Sochi Olympic. It had many sports events which use snows, but according to some rumor, Sochi Olympic used artificial snows. Was it made by some machines which introduced by this book? I think, it was so soft and smooth. However, I heard that the snows caused some problems for records. It looks difficult. I found that there is something complex reasons. If I got a chance to go skiing, I would to check them.

"It was no wonder I never read the newspaper" (p.9.).

I learned how to read newspaper written in English last semester. It was very difficult for me for the first time because, some words has different meaning in the newspaper. So reading headline is most difficult thing for me. Actually, some headlines appeared in this story, so I take long time to read it. On the other hand, I read Japanese newspaper sometime. In addition, I often check some with my smart phone. Reading type which printed is good thing for me, but actually I think checking news with Internet is more useful than cardinally newspaper. When I read some news on Internet, I don't have to buy newspaper.

This story is expressing how to make nice headline. However, some people who making newspaper is students. So, the newspaper which appear in this story is a kind of class newspaper. At first, Magee who is the main character of this story is hate to make newspaper, but the end of this story, he enjoy to make some headline of class newspaper. I think making newspaper should fun. However, I was so surprised that some students go out to report. I can't imagine like that because when I was a junior high school student, I didn't do like that thing.
