Thank you for your prompt response.
This book seems to be nice, but I prefer an older narrator and more numbers of people in the story.
Someone says that you need to know about an accident of a certain ship in England in order to understand this story. Is this right?

Otherwise, the other book I have that mostly ticks all your criteria is Long Way Down/ Long Way Around by Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman. It's not fiction, but it's written in the first person and has lots of conversation. It's a little more colloquial, however, with shorter sentences and a number of idioms (because the authors aren't professional writers). In a way, though, it makes the english a little more real than normal book-english.

Sorry, but I prefer a story about your daily life. Many words you say while you are riding may be different from words in your daily life.
And I think I need more numbers of people.
I want to know many variations to say hello when you meet friends.
It may be that I should read some scenarios of movies. So I thought I would read The Great Gatsby’s scenario after I read the book.

I'll have a think and see if I can't think of any more.

Thanks!!
