[Ali Mahfoodh · Rating 4 out of 5]

قضيتين من مغامرات شيرلوك هولمز تم اختصارهما في ٢٠ صفحة لكل واحدة تقريباً مع الأسئلة والمقدمات وشرح لمعاني بعض الكلمات بنفس اللغة وغيرها من الأشياء المعتادة في كتب سلسلة اكسفورد التعليمية الرائعة ليخرج هذا الكتاب ذو ال٥٦ صفحة.
كالعادة هناك كلمات جديدة عليّ في القصتين احتجت لترجمتهم او الرجوع لصفحة الشرح ان وجدوا.
القصة الأولى كانت جيدة وكذلك الثانية (بالرغم من ان موضوعها تافه بعض الشيء) وقد تمت كتابة هاتين القصتين كسيناريو مسرحي في هذا الكتاب.

This Story is about Sherlock Holmes that will solve a new case with his partner Dr John Watson. The main character in this story was Sherlock Holmes and Dr John Watson. The story starts inside of Wilson's shop when Spaulding tell Wilson that the the red headed league trying to find someone with red hair. Finally Wilson go to Pope's court to apply become the members of red headed league and was accepted. Wilson went to Holmes room to see Holmes to talk about his work at the red headed league that was very strange. When he's late the door was close and say that the league was close. So he ask for Holmes help, and Holmes ask information about Mr Spaulding and meet him. After meeting him Holmes and Watson went to catch a thief name John Clay turns out that Spaulding was actually John Clay and was a thief and the Red Headed League was a group of robbers. The next story in this book titled The three students. The story starts with Mr Soames come see Holmes to report something. So tomorrow is an exam and he leaves the paper at his room to get some tea and when he came back the paper already on the floor, window, and writing table. When he ask his servant his servant didn't know. So Holmes started investigating. He started asking Soames servant ,Bannister after that he ask Soames students started with Gilchrist, Daulat Ras, and Miles Mclaren. It turns out that Gilchrist was copying the paper, so he will not follow the exam. When Gilchrist copying the paper Bannister see it but didn't want to tell anyone because he ever work for his father, and the case was done. For me this book is interesting because the main charactrer Sherlock Holmes is very clever to solve this case also this book there was a short 2 story that was very interesting and didn't make us readers feel bored because it is very entertaining and has an unpredictable ending so I give this book 9/10 for the uniqueness and creativity in making the story.

1. Oxford, Level1
2. 4/15 8 minutes
4/17 60 minutes = all 68 minutes
3. red-headed, tunnel, thief, examination, watch, Holmes, detective
4. Do you need detectives at the present time?
-I need detectives because detectives are necessary when we want someone to research our matters.
5. This book includes two stories about Sherlock Holmes. The both stories are funny. Although it is a detective story, The story is simple and I can read without complicated. Moreover, because the play script style was used, I recognized who this is. (If there are many character, I do not remember all names.) It is also good point for read.

「You'are very clever, Holmes. 」
「(Not laughing) That's very true, Watson.」

These days I have read some world literatures. In this week I read Sherlock Holmes: The Red-Head League and The Three Students. Actually, I haven't read such mysteries books, but I have watched Japanese animation movies about this series in my childhood. Because of that,, I had interests in Sherlock Holmes plays. After reading this book for the first time, I found some interesting points by reading stories.
