Homework: Review " Young Sherlock Holmes" Task 2

The book tells about the adventure that goes Sherlock in Farnham. Starting when Sherlock waiting for his dad to search him out of school, when the headmaster call Sherlock to his office. When Sherlock arrived at the headmaster office, Mycroft was waiting, all this to tell Sherlock that his dad went to India. Finishing the conversation in the office, Mycroft sent sherlock to Farnham to his Aunt and Uncle house for summer. And then happen all the "death cloud of smoke" episodes, which brings a new mistery to resolve for Sherlock. I think that why I am criticizing this book, is because if you say about the book that you read to you neariest persons, they will think if the book is good or bad, so they can finally decide to read or not. I like very much tha all this story happened in England because England is an very interesting place to visit.and the characters in special the protagonist, Sherlock and his friend, and the very cruel person with sherlock, Mrs Englantine.

Homework: Letter to Mycroft ( Task 1)

Dear Mycroft,

I write to you to tell you something, something that happened to me, a very creepy thing. I was with Amyus Crowe, walking when suddenly y thought to saw a thing very strange between the trees, which called me very much my atention. So I began to saw through the branches and then there was the "thing" that I will talk to you now. When I came closer, suddenly a cloud of smoke started to rise from the thing that I saw between the trees. Then the cloud of smoke was gone by the breeze, leaving alone the "object". Then I came closer and I found a horrible thing that I never imagined to found: a corpse. So I tell you very serious that I am starting to feel scared in Farnham.The corpse was enough in Farnham, so I invite you to come next week to come and see all by yourself, so you can understand everything more clear.

You`re sinceraly, Sherlock.
