"Love means you never have to say you're sorry.. "

'Love means you never have to say you`re sorry'😢

Love story. It was not just an ordinary love stories' setting such like perfect man which gets full of love from many women and cute woman with silly actions like Korean dramas. There were two main characters, Oliver Barrett and Jenny Cavilleri. They had too many differences and they fall love to each other more and more. Finally they got married and something happened to them. Pictures were all lovely and romantic. The way of telling the story was quite nice too but the story went too fast at the last. Also, the ending part was really left nothing. Somebody who hates the empty ending would hate this book.

Mira, he visto a Drew Fields marcando este libro como leído y me he reído. Mucho.
La historia va de dos adolescentes que se enamoran y se casan en -3 segundos y a la muchacha le da una enfermedad que no recuerdo a los 2 segundos tras casarse.
Este libro no puede ser más malo porque, literalmente, no puede. Pero es bueno para aquellos que están comenzando a leer en inglés. Sirve como método para acostumbrarse a la lectura fuera de los libros de texto.
Un abrazo para los japoneses que se están leyendo el libro para clase y tienen que hacer la ficha técnica por aquí, os leo a todos porque me encantáis.

4. I like this phrase "The important thing is the playing, not the winning." I think so too because it's meanigful to play sport or music not victory or defeat.
5. This story moved me deeply. Especiall, this phrase that "Will you please hold me, Oliver?" was very impressive.

First of all I don't like romance things and I read this book because I couldn't find enoguht lvl 3 books.
I was prejudiced before I read this book but it wasn't like the other romance things. This book does not have cute, sweet, slimy romance in this shortened version. Maybe real book has but this is not like this.
I can't say i like it very much, but it's better than nothing.

It was about true love. Not only the love btw Oliver and Jenny, It was about father and offspring. There are some moments that you can't put down the book you cry with that and you can feel the love deeply...

Can't believe I didn't know about this book before this. I'm definitely going to look for the original full version by Segal.
It's a simple story with good message.

2. 4/16 = 30 minutes 4/17 = 60 minutes
3. date, differnce, obstacle, difficult, love, rich, poor
4. My favorite passage was that "Jenny looked down at her feet. 'Oliver, don't be stupid. We can't do anything about it. After we finish university, you'll go your way and I 'll go mine.
You'll go to law school-'."
The reason why I like this passage is that this conversation is described that two lovers can't do anything very well. That means if they will go to their own way, they have to leave each other. According to her conversation, I strongly agree with her opinion and I was inspired her strong feeling for him. In other sides, I could compare with mine. Actually, now I have a girlfriend, however, about two weeks ago, she and I talked about thier own future deeply for the first time. Both of us are looking forward to becoming an English teacher in a junior high school. However, if we really consider our future, actually my vision was so vague. I just thught a happy life with her simply. If we could become an English teacher and wanted to live together in the future, at least we would have to pass an examination for a teacher in same prefecture. To accmplish the mission, we have to study hard and have knowledge to pass it. When i read this book, actually I couldn't image my future in such as the case.
5. Through reading this book, I thought that it is natural there is some troubles if man and woman love in each other. According to this book, they live in different environment and have a gap between rich and poor. At this time when they love each other, they have already had troubles. However, they aren't about to be defeated those obstacles and they never give up keeping loved each other. Now I'm a little looking forward to next step.

2. 5/4=60 minutes
3. moment, happy, angry, regret, disease,sad, death
4. The most favorite part between chapter 5 to 7 is "I don't know why I did it. Perhaps I went crazy for a moment. Violently I took the telephone and threw it across the room. "Damn you, Jenny! Why don't you get out of my life?" I stood still for a second. My God, I thought, what's happening to me? I turned to look at Jenny. But she had gone." I like this part very much because this part can be also contrasted with my experience. Actually so far I have experienced such a situation many times, for example, my father and mother often quarrel with those reasons. When my father said something to my mom, for my mom it would get on her nervous. Sometimes my mon told him that he never returned what he said once he told someone. I strongly agree with her opinion and in my case, I often regret what I tell something. Often my girlfriend is so irritated with what I said. I want to pay attention to more carefully.
5. Reading this book to last part, I noticed that love always has happy or unhappy things. However in many cases, love can't be go through smoothly because of those problems. Actually I can't image the world that my precious people or girlfriend are gone away, so I strongly sympathize with Oliver.

My thoughts:)
In this book, I had a strong impression about the expression, "Love means you never have to say you're sorry." The author used it twice. Thanks to Jenny, who died, Oliver could reconcile with his father with using this expression. I was very moved by that.
I want my friends to read this book and feel impressed like me!

I liked the excerpt "After we finish university, you'll go your way and I'll go mine."
Actually, it's a very sad sentence, but I could understand the feeling of her. I thought she didn't go separate way with him but she had to say such a thing because of their difference of rich and poor.
I liked this book. Actually I could not understand some points... However, the most interesting thing for me was one character is called in not only a way but also some ways. It made me a little confused, but it's interesting.

I liked the excerpt "Do your best for Jenny. I don't care what it costs. I want her to have the best, please. I've got the money."
I could understand how much he loved her from this sentence. Finally, she died, but thanks to her, he called his father and they could talk face to face. Therefore, in that point, I think she had fixed the relationship between Oliver and his father before she died. Then, the start point was here, so I chose this excerpt.
I thought this story was sad. However it was not just sad. I was made to think about loving each other and helping each other. Also, from the relationship between Oliver and his father, I thought the importance of family. When we are in trouble, family would help us.
