THE GIVING TREE

No.1 Who did you think about after reading this?

I thought about my father. As he works hard every day, I can eat some food, go to school, and visit America. Without my father, my family can't live.

No.2 What did you think about environment problems?

I thought that the boy in the story is a human, too. The tree was destroyed by him. It looks like reality. In fact, nature has been destroyed by humans.

No.3 What kind of person would you like to be?

I do not want to be a selfish woman. I want to understand all people's feeling. My goal is to be a generous woman.
