Book Review - Immortal Empire




Immortal Empire is an interesting book written by Marcos Benevides and illustrated by Alice Carrol.
This book is one of the Atama-ii books. A series of beginner easy level English for above 11 years old readers. You can find out more at http://www.atama-ii.com/ .This series is really entertaining, because it allow us to interactively take the role as the main character, and create our own story line. Up to eight different plots are available and lead to eight different closures.


Some pages have instruction, whether to continue to the next page, or choose between few options and jump to particular page. You have to follow the guidance, and don`t read the book from the first page to the last page.


On the first page you will find the story map, that will outline the story and their corresponding pages. This story map is very useful, because one or several ending are completely different, and in order to change the ending we need to return back to the previous page.

We start as a God, and watching over the small village of Edin. The Edinese could not see us, but we could appear in their dream, and told them new things and what to do with their village. Since we love Edin, we want Edin to become immortal just like us. We want Edin to grow larger and establish new government to rule. As the village enlarges, several issues emerged, like war with other town, revolution, and so on.

Overall I really enjoy this book, and read all of the possible endings since successfully make me curious about other ending.

English Academic Writing - Exercise II

When the tsunami struck the Fukushima nuclear power plant in 2011, the public’s attitude to nuclear power plant changed overnight. People came to realize that it was neither safe nor clean. They also realized that it was not even cheap when the costs of storing used fuel and cleaning up after an accident were taken into consideration. As a result of the disaster, the governments of Germany and France decided to review their policies and scale down their dependence on the nuclear power. In contrast, the Japanese government has not yet started a clear policy on power generation. Following the disaster at Fukushima, all nuclear power plant were shut down, but some were started up again one year later. One thing that is abundantly clear is that many more Japanese people are opposed to nuclear power than ever before.
