personal profile

I’m a senior secondary school student and my favorite subject is English. I also enjoy history and geography, and I love exploring new places with my family. In my free time, I’m usually in the library or at the park with a good book. I’ve always loved to read! I think reading is just another way of exploring the unknown world. It’s an exciting experience for me. That’s why I believe that books about foreign cultures or imaginary worlds are the best!
Read “About me” and answer questions.

I like all the books in the Harry Potter series. However, I believe the first one is the best. In my opinion, the author did an amazing job of creating a whole new world through this book. After reading it, I wanted to find out what happened to each of the characters. I like Hermione most, because we have a lot in common. Are there other readers who also like her?
