I read TITANIC in the series of USBORNE YOUNG READING.
In the 1900s, there were no passenger planes and people had to go by sea when they crossed a ocean. At that time, there were two rival companies and both carried mail and passengers between America and Europe. The TITANIC would sail for New York, USA from Southampton docks in England and people rushed to buy their tickets. It was called "unsinkable". A few late after the TITANIC sailed, the other ship hit the TITANIC. It wasn't serious problem, some passengers felt afraid and cancelled their booking on it. Two days later, a watchman found that there is a big iceberg ahead the TITANIC and first officer gave instructions to crews. However, instead of hitting the iceberg head-on, the side of ship hit the iceberg and sea water began to enter into the ship. Gradually, the TITANIC began to sink, and people tried to escape but unfortunately, there are only 20 lifeboats, so every passengers couldn't ride lifeboats.
I felt sad and afraid to read this book. I haven't watched TITANIC of the movie, so I want to watch it during my summer vacation.
