I like reading Verne Jules’ books.When I
went to school,I said a friend of mine
that if he could give me a book.Then he brought me some books.I looked
these books ,then I decided to read
“Round The World In 80 Days” and I also decided to do my term homework with
this book.It was an enjoyable term homework for me,because I like reading books
so much that I didn’t want to finish my term homework.I think this book has
been specially prepared to make enjoyable reading for people to whom English is
second or a foreign language.An English writer never thinks of avoiding unusual
words,so that the learner,trying to read the book in its original form,has to
turn frequently to dictionary and so loses much of the pleasure that the book
ought to give.
Teacher!!!
I finished my term
homework.Also now you are reading my term homework,so thank you for reading my
term homework and I’m sorry for all my mistakes.

The Little Summary of ‘Round The World In 80 Days’
The book is a science fiction book.It is about oneiric novel.
When the new inventions were gaining speed,the
novel’s gallant whose name is Phileas Fogg argumented with his club
friends.Also the argument was crossed in his life time. . . . . . . . . . . . .
. . . . . . . . .
In the year 1872 there lived at
No.7 Savile Row,london,Mr.Phileas
Fogg,one of the member of the Reform
Club.As he never spoke about himself,nobody knew who he was.He was a gentleman
and also he didn’t have any job.In
Reform Club,sometimes when the members of the club talked about
travellers,Mr.Fogg would explain what had probably become of them.Then his
explanations often proved to be quite
true,so he must have travelled everywhere.He liked playing cards.
He didn’t have any relative.He had a servant
who was John Foster,did a mistake and Mr.Fogg
didn’t like mistake,so the servant must leave him.Then, the new servant
whose name was Jean Passepartout,came.Mr.Fogg went to Reform Club,then he
played cards with his friends.While they were playing cards,they talked about a
great bank robbery.The robber had stolen 55.000 pounds.One member of Reform
Club said that where the gentleman escaped with the money.Mr.Fogg said “The
World was small!,because a man would walk around the world in 80 days.His
friends didn’t believe that a man would walk
around the world in 80 days.Mr.Fogg and his friends began to claim and then Mr.Fogg said that I could walk
around the world in 80 days.If he could walk around the world in 80
days,Mr.Stuart would give him four
thousand pounds.
Mr.Fogg went to home,he collect his clothes
and the servant collects his clothes.They went to the train station.That
evening,at eighty forty-five the train began to move;the
journey round the world had begun.Mr.Fogg’s programme;

(Mr.Fogg)
Seven days
later,a man who wanted to catch the bank robber,name was Mr.Fix.This man was a
detective and he wanted to catch Mr.Fogg,because they thought that Mr.Fogg was
the man who had stolen the money from the bank and they thought that Mr.Fogg
wanted to do the World Tour for escape.
Then Mr.Fix went to Suez to wait Mongolia,because Mr.Fogg was in Mongolia.When
Mr.Fix watched passengers,Passepartout came and they talked.Mr.Fix said
passepartout that he never had seen his master on the deck.Passepartout said
that Mr.Fogg hadn’t liked mixing with other people and Mr.Fix asked that if he
had known that the journey round the world in eighty days might be an excuse
for something else,some secret purpose,and the servant said that he hadn’t
known and he hadn’t wanted to know about
that.Then On Sunday,October 20th,when they came India,Passepartout and Mr.Fix finished
the talking.The ship reached Bombay two days earlier than had been
expected.Then all the people went for a walk.The servant saw Malabar Hill.He went to it,but he didn’t take
off his shoes.While he was admiring the temple from the inside,three priests
threw themselves upon him a good beating.The servant was easily able to get
up,knocked them down,ran. At five
minutes to eight,only a few minutes before the train left,without any shoes,he
reached the railway station.Mr.Fix and Mr.Fogg were there. Mr.Frogg said his
servant not to be late and Mr.Fix change his idea.Namely,he didn’t go with
Mr.Frogg,because Mr.Fix could arrest them for crime which the servant entered
Malabar Hill with the shoes.
The train journey
started.In the train,Mr.Fogg made friends with Sir Francis.Mr.Fogg told him the
world tour and they talked about everything.The train stopped at village of
Kholby,but they wanted to go Calcutta.They must find another way of getting to
Allahabad.Mr.Fogg were two days early,so he wasn’t angry.The servant found an
elephant and Mr.Fogg bought the elephant,but its cost was two thousand pounds.A
young Indian to serviced,Mr.Fogg.Sir Francis and the servant rode the
elephant.At nine o’clock they started to go.
