BOOK REVIEW⑬

Nick's father was angry."Why do you want to go to Australia now?" he asked. "You're only sixteen - you can go to Australia later. College is the important thing for you now. And you can't get to Australia and live there with only eight hundred pounds, you know? His mother and father didn't like Nick's plan. They wanted him to go to college, but he wanted to go to Australia for three months. He worked in the surf shop and he had eight hundred pounds in the bank now.


I read "Surfer!" today. It's about a boy who loves surfing. He wanted to go to Australia because there's an important surfing competition in Australia but his parents didn't understand his plan. One day, his friend Janelle said there will be a competition in the sea near their house. He took part in the competition and he won! Then he gave the prize "A thousand pounds" ! Finally, His father allowed to go to Australia!
