Book review 08 (French Adventures)

I am really interested in France and I want to visit there very much so I have been taking French class since I was freshman. It is very difficult and hard to understand and pronounce but I am trying my best. I read a book named “French Adventure Part 1”

In this story, British children are going on a school trip to France. This is first time to visit France for them, so of course they have been looking forward to it. They go with teachers who are Mr.Hopkins and Ms. Cherry. First, the bus takes them to Dover where is connected to Calais, France. In the bus, Mr.Hopkins has a lot of things to do such as checking students’ baggage, and also he need to make sure every student are in the bus. He seems so busy, because student are so excited their trip and they are so high; however, he is so happy to see their delightful smiles. From Dover, they took a ferry to Calais. One student, whose name is Donut, saw a bad dream while he was sleeping. In the dream, they were all driving off the edge. He was so afraid, but after a while he realized that was just a dream. David, who is sitting in front of Donut, realized Donut looks afraid so he cheats Donut. As you can see, they are enjoying their trip like normal children do. Also teachers are enjoying their trip, even though they have responsibility to watch children. Ms. Cherry exposed that she is almost marrying Zak who is one of colleagues with them. Ms. Hopkins is very surprised to hear that, and glad. The bus stopped because French police have to check their passports. At that time, they spent a long time at Mr.Hopkins for some reasons. However, they cannot know why it came. They arrived at the chateau which they were going to stay. It has been 400 years since it was build, so children were saying it is got a French ghost. The rooms are very nice and exciting for children. In addition, evening meal is great for them. That is first time to have real French food for them, so they are very excited and interested. At night, the most exciting moment for children in school trip, boys pretend ghosts to try to scare girls. It worked, but once their scream Ms. Cherry came into their room and she read the atmosphere. Boys hid in a wardrobe, and she found them soon. The next day, they are going to Paris! In Paris, they walk around the town and look many things. Mr. Hopkins, Sam, and Mouse went an old church. They entered the church and look inside. Suddenly, two huge men with black cloths and took Mr Hopkins out, then get him into a black car. The car drove away and children did not know what they should do and what was going on. To their surprise, the sigh of the church was vanished….
