The Lady or the Tiger?

I read the article called "The Lady or the Tiger?" in English class. While I was reading this article, I used some symbols. First, I translate from English into my native language when I read one paragraph. There were some words that I coul'd understand in one paragraph, so I used the dictionary to make sure these word. In paragraph two to five, I tried to picture in my mind what I have just read to help me remember what I read. I imagined the situation of story in my mind and I tried to easy to understand the story.

This story is about a king who had his own ideas about justice in faraway country. He had to choose one of the two doors. A hungry tiger stayed behind One of doors but A Ledy stayed behind another door. The princess had to open the one of the doors. If she opened the door which stayed a hungy tiger, the accused man will be died, but if she opened another door which stayed the lady, a man had to marry with the lady. The princess hated the lary so she didn't want him to marry with the lady. She had to make the supreme choice.

While I was reading this article, I infered that if I was the princess, I will open the door which stayed a man because I don't want him to die. Although he has to marry with the lady, I will endure about it.

You explained clearly how you used reading strategies. To help your reader better understand what you are thinking, give examples. To illustrate, show when you had to translate from English into Japanese. You also showed that you empathize with the princess and that you would have chosen the door with the lady. In the story, there were clues that she could have chosen this door too. What were they?
