F1 Europe GP

I watched formula one race on TV. The formula one races are held around the world every year. I often watch the race on TV. And this time, it was held in Valencia. There is near by sea and very beautiful place. My favorite driver is Kamui Kobayashi. He is the only Japanese driver, and I think he is the fastest Japanese F1 driver ever. He is young rookie driver and belonging to BMW Sauber. This team's car is not fast, but he compensates in his own skill. In the race, the qualifier was not good position. He started at 18th position first. After that, a crash happened, a safety car was in the course. Because of the safety car, he could take up his position at 3rd. He has to back to pit, so he took down his position at 9th. But finally, he overtook two cars and the result was 7th position. This course is difficult to overtake, so I was surprised. The winner was Sebastian Vettel. He is young driver and has strong concentration. I was more exciting Kamui's overtaking than Vettel's win. This race was very interesting for me. I want young driver to be more famous, aggressive and clever.

I read "Dutch Adventure" which is illustrated book. This book is written by Roderick Hunt.

One day, a dad went to the supermarket with his children named Biff and Chip. He wanted them to help. They went to the cheese counter. A lady was selling a special cheese made in Holland. The lady let them eat Edam cheeses and Chip liked it. He brought two cheeses and got two free baseball cap. He gave his children the caps. After that, he took the shopping to his car. There was a lot to carry, so he put the cheeses on the top of the car and they left the parking area.

A dog ran into the road on the way to the home. Dad stopped suddenly. The cheeses slid off the roof and rolled down the hill. They chased the cheeses by the car. Two of the cheeses were run over by a lorry, but fortunately, one was dented. The dad was not funny.

At home, Biff and Chip went to their room. Suddenly the magic key glowed and they were taken Holland in old age. They were on a high bank called Dyke. The land of Holland is lower than the sea, so The Dyke is protecting the land from seawater. They could see some windmills, but could not see any houses. So they began to walk.

A horse and cart driving a boy came along. They asked the boy to take them to the village and the boy said "Yes." His name was Hans and he was taking these cheeses to the market. At that moment a wheel came off the cart, the cheeses fell on the cart and rolled around a man on the bicycle carrying a cheese. The cart hit the bicycle and the man fell off on the bicycle. The cheeses bounced out of his basket. The man was not injured, but was angry. It was difficult to find his cheese, at last he found it. The cart was broken, so Hans groaned.

Hans put the cheeses in some sacks and Biff and Chip helped him. These were very heavy. Suddenly they heard a girl shouting. They ran to see what was happen. Water spouting through the Dyke. The girl tried to stop it and said to help. They helped her, but could not stop the water. Then Biff came up with an idea. They pushed the cheeses into the hole. They filled the hole as well as they could. But the water still came through in places. The girl and Biff went and got help. They found a windmill and the man's bicycle. They looked through the window. The man was cutting the cheese in half and inside the cheese were some diamonds. He hid some diamond in the cheese.

The girl and Biff told mayor about leaking Dyke and the man. Finally the Dyke was fixed and the man was punished. Hans gave them some cheeses and said thank you. Then the magic key began to glow and took them home.
