I have read many books, including novels, history books, and science books. My favourite book is 《Harry Potter》. I like it because the story is very interesting and full of magic. It also teaches me the importance of friendship and courage. In my opinion, reading outside class is very important. It can help us learn more knowledge and improve our language skills. We should read more books to enrich our lives. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
