What type of book does Sandy like to read?
I like novels. I enjoy reading the books of Robot Louis Stevenson because I find them really exciting. For example, Treasure Island tells the story of a young boy who sailed the sea to look for hidden treasure. Jim, the main character in the book, is very brave. His story gave me a lot of confidence. After reading the book, I am not as shy as I used to be and I am willing to try new things. I also want to travel and have exciting experiences in the future. Moreover, I have decided to write my own stories. Maybe I can become a writer when I am older!

My reading habits
I like reading very much. I usually spend six hours a week reading books. On weekdays, I read books in the morning or at noon. At the weekend, I read in the evening. I love science books and fantasy books. I like the Harry Potter series best. It is very interesting and the main character is amazing.
I often borrow books from our school library because there are many kinds of books and I can always find books easily. I like talking with my classmates about what to read. We often give each other useful information about books. That is really helpful.
Books are my good friends. Whenever I feel sad, I will get an interesting book to read. It makes me forget my sadness. I love reading.
Thank you!
