This story about the old man's Christmas. His name is Scrooge and his importanat things were just money and business. And he met
the ghost of his old friend and three spirits, and he learned... I knew the book's title, but didn't know that story. So when I read that book, I thought the story is intersting. But I don't like Christmas, because I don't have a lover. ( )

Scrooge likes only money. He doesn't like Chirismans and happy people. Three ghost came to him midnight. They showed his past and future. He was disappointed and he changed.
I was moved Scrooge changed his mind. It is easy to read so I understood this book well. I think money is not the most important in the world. ( )

Scrooge was a lonely old man .
He liked money and hated people.
Oneday, a ghost visited Scrooge and the ghost was Scrooge's business partner ,Marley .
Marley told Scrooge three ghosts would visit him...

I thought he was bad man.
However, I find he was not bad man, but poor man.
I like this story, because he got new future as kind person.
I want to say thanks to Marley who changed poor old man, Scrooge. ( )

The main character of this book is Scroog. He is very strict and he likes only money.He likes counting money but he doesn't like Christmas! One day three goasts appeared, and the goasts try to Scroog to become gentle man.How to change Scrooge?or he dose not change forever?

I know this story,so I can read this very easily. Scroog didn't communicate with other people at all.I think communication is very important for human, because people can't live alone.I learned the importance of communication from this book. ( )
