The brother and sister of an aged farmer wanted to adopt an orphan, to help on the farm at Green Gables. They asked for a boy, but they got Anne, who has red hair and freckles. They were going to send her back to the Children's home first. But, they decided to take care of her while knowing Ann's beautiful mind and an unhappy background. Anne loved to talk and fantasy. She made trouble occasionally.
She studied very hard and became a teacher at the school. However, the foster parent became sick, and it was not possible to go to a distant school. At that time, friend's Gilbert went to a distant school instead of Ann. She was able to be by the foster parent.
It was the first time to actually read though I had heard the name of this story. Anne was very kind person and worked very hard. I want to be like her.

As always, I'm very pleased with your excellent work. How do you like blogging? Do you think this is a good way to study? If there is something you would like to do differently please let me know.
I think blog is good way to study English. I am going to watch movies in English.
Good! I think it's a good idea to study movies, too. In the library, there are some "Screenplay" books that you can refer to when you watch some movies. If you don't understand what I mean, ask me in class.
By the way, there is a "Screenplay" book for "Anne of Green Gables" in the library. I think it would be a good idea to have this book with you when you watch the movie.
I am going to find Screenplay book in the library.
Great!
