I finished "The Girl Who Kicked The Hornets' Nest"

I have read "The Girl Who Kicked The Hornets' Nest".

Salander was severely wounded and was hospitalized. And Zalachenko was also hospitalized in the same hospital where Salander got medical operation.

Swedish secret police "The Section" made operations for covering up the affairs by Zalachenko.

By the way, Blomkvist in Millennium Journal had a plan to reveal rotten Swedish secret police history.

Salander was accused for attempting to murder Zalachenko.

I was interested in the battles in court.

I started shadowing and reading aloud about "Moonlighting Season 1 Episode3".

I started shadowing and reading aloud about "Moonlighting Season 1 Episode3" since March 23rd.

I commute from my home to my office by car. At that time I do shadowing practice of this TV drama.

This week I was busy for my work and farewell parties. Then I couldn't practice reading aloud.

I have read aloud "Moonlighting Season 1 Episode2".

I have read aloud "Moonlighting Season 1 Episode2".
I began this reading aloud training since the end of February. The dialogues between Bruce Willis and Cybill Shepherd is very fast. I can't catch up with their speaking speed. But this training is interesting.

I would like to continue this training at least 6 months.

To memorize this drama's dialogue is very difficult. I'll pick up useful expression from this drama, and I'll memorize these sentences.

I read "Sphere" by Michael Crichton

I read the paperback entitled "Sphere".

This book is written by Michael Crichton. I like his novels.

In this book, first of all, U.S. Navy discovered mysterious sphere in Southern Pacific ocean. Then many scientists were gathered to solve the mystery of this sphere. For example, an astronomer, a mathematician, a zoologist were gathered.
Norman was not a pure scientist but a psychologist. There are many incidents and accidents in deep seabed navy base.

There are scientific topics like astronomy, zoology, pschology in this novel.

The progress of the story is slow until middle stage, it is hard to read for me.

I bought second-handed history books from online shopping.

Recently I am interested world history. I bought history books from online used book stores.

Left books are "World History series in Japanese. Right books are "Chinese ancient history books in Japanese". I am looking forward to reading these history books.

Tsurugi-Dake is floating on the sea!

This year we had a lot of snow. But today was very fine day. I felt spring.

"Reading aloud" is effective?

Nowadays, I read out English TV drama. The title of drama is "Moonlighting". Main actors are
Bruce Willis and Cybill Shepherd. They speak very rapidly. I can't keep up with their dialogues.

Sometimes I skip difficult dialogues.

But after reading aloud practice, I feel I can understand English dialogues in American TV drama very well.

I'd like to continue this reading aloud practice.
