五、One possible version:
Everyone_has_ever_received_a_gift._The_best_gift_I_have_received_is an English novel called The Hobbit. It was a gift for my 14th birthday from my friend Jimmy. Attracted by its welldesigned cover page, I had great interest in reading it. Though it was the first time I had read an English novel, I found it was not that difficult to understand. Besides, I was surprised to find English could be so lively and interesting. It completely changed my idea about learning a foreign language. As a result, I made up my mind to read more novels in English.
Reading is always a wonderful time. The more I read, the more I know about the world. I'd like to thank my friend again for his fantastic gift.
