LET'S READ
<Topic 1> Think Back
Sora is looking at the pictures from this year.
I remember the first day at school. This picture was taken on that day. To me, It was the best day of the year. We were very happy when we met for the first time.
These pictures were taken with my friends. I have made a lot of friends. We had lots of fun together. Look at this picture. I got it from a computer. I can get other useful information from computers.
This picture was taken at the school Expo. We wanted to keep our city clean. We made a nice video tape. Many of my friends watched it. When they gave us a big hand, we were very happy.
