Wild Country Reviews


  • Janete on hiatus due health issues

    A very good book for learning English, because it's easy and the audio's narration is clear and slow.

  • Yona

    I liked this book, it was very nice written and interesting.
    Tess and Grant are tour leaders for a group walking holiday in France. But they don't get on well - at least at the start. They are forced to work together for 10 days. And it this time they get to know each other, very well.
    And i really like the end.
    It was a very nice story.

    4: a) Grant said Tess "But the reason I don't want to be your friend," he went on "is because... I like you. And I want you to be my girlfriend."

    b) First, Tess didn't like Grant. He looks very handsome but he was not good person. He always tried to find fault with her. In this story, he always did it. Tess and Grant were tour leader in Wild Country. Tess is careless person so she did a lot of mistake in this trip. But Grant didn't help her so much. He was always laughing. I didn't like him very much because I thought he was not good person. But he helped Tess end of the story. Moreover, he wanted her to be his girl friend! I thought he had been loved her since they met at first but he couldn't be obedient. So he could only find fault with her. Then I changed the view of Grant.

    5: This story is fun for me. Tess and Grant faced many troubles in this trip. We can know how hard this trip was if we read this story. In this trip plan, they climb mountain and stay there with tents. This trip lasts for ten days. So some participants complained. I think this plan should change. It's too hard to participate in. But this story is fun for me.

    3.tour,not well, annoying, laugh, father, job, tour leaders

    4a.
    I don't like the scene that when Tess and Grant told the details of the tour to the tourists because Grant's explanation didn't finish though, Tess started adding information.
    b.
    That will make tourists confused. Even if they can't get along with, they mustn't let tourists notice that.

    5.I don't finished reading yet. I'm looking forward what will happen next between Tess and Grant. Are they doing well each other at the end of this story?

    4 a) "the reason I don't want to be your friend, is because...I like you. I really like you. And I want you to be my girlfriend."
    b)I like this scene. How sweet he is!
    5 He often called her name so I thoght he might love her. Actually, he likes her! He was chilly to her but he helped her, so this means he likes her.
