staying together


This is a story about love. I choosed it because I thought it is a romantic affecting story.
The story is about a Japanese girl name Ikuko and a Zambian man name Bernard. They were oversea students in England. When they met at the first time, something happened in their mind. They fell in love. Even though Ikuko had engaged to a Japanese boy , and Bernard had already had two kids. I think destiny bring them together. They have ever tried their best to stay together. Ikuko has been to the small town where Bernard lives in Zambia , accompanying Bernard and his two daughters . But it is too hard for a Japanese girl adjust to the life in a poor small town in Africa. At last they broke up. Ikuko went back to Japan.The second part of the book talk about the things happened in the future. It is about a Japanese boy and a Zambian girl . Things happen again. I don't think I can talk about it here. In case I will tell you the ending of the book . As my opinion, the first part is more attractive than the second part.
This book is good for ESL students. It is easy to read. There are not many new words, and I can read it smoothly. It make me feel more confident in reading an English book. It is a good start. Also I wonder how can the author write such a complicated book with these simple words, and I can't even say a simple sentence in my daily life with these words. I think the words we have known have been enough to help us express ourself very well in daily life. But we just don't know how to use it. What can I do? That is what I thought after I read this book.
