Read and analyze
My favourite book is The Old Man and the Sea.It was written in 1952 by the American writer Ernest Hemingway.The book became popular very quickly. In 1953, it won the Pulitzer Prize.
The main character is a fisherman who hasn’t caught anything for months. One day he catches a huge fish, but he has to fight for days to kill it. He finally succeeds, but he can’t pull the fish onto his boat. When the fisherman is on his way back, sharks eat the fish, leaving nothing but bones.
This book has taught me not to give up or doubt myself. I’m inspired by how hard the fisherman fights, even though he loses the fish in the end. As Hemingway said, “Man is not made for defeat. A man can be destroyed but not defeated.” Even though I’ve already read the book three times, I’m not tired of it yet. If you’ve never read Ernest Hemingway, I recommend this book.

Sample
Of all the books I’ve read, The Three-Body Problem is my favourite. It was written by Chinese writer Liu Cixin in 2008. It is a famous science fiction novel and won the Hugo Award in 2015.
The story is set in modern China and the future. The main character is Wang Miao, a scientist. He finds an alien civilisation called Trisolarans, who want to invade Earth. The most exciting part is when humans fight to protect their home from the advanced aliens.
This book has taught me to think big and never give up. I’m inspired by humans’ courage to face huge challenges. As Liu Cixin shows, hope is the most powerful thing. I’ve read it twice and still love it. I strongly recommend this book to all science fiction lovers. Don’t miss it!

My favourite book is The Secret Garden. It was written in 1911 by the British writer Frances Hodgson Burnett. This warm but touching story quickly became popular around the world, and it is loved by both children and adults.
The main characters are a lonely girl named Mary and a sick boy called Colin, who live in a big house on the English moors. The story is about a young girl who comes to live with her uncle after her parents die. At first, Mary is rude and unhappy, but she soon finds a hidden garden that has been locked for many years. On her journey of discovery, she meets a kind boy named Dickon, who knows all about plants and animals.

Together, they help Colin find joy and strength again. Finally, the children bring the secret garden back to life, and they learn how to love and care for others.
The most important lesson comes from the garden itself, which teaches the children that "where you tend a rose, a thistle cannot grow."
This book has taught me many things. It tells me that kindness and care can change not only plants, but also people. It also reminds me that hope and friendship can help us grow even when life is hard. Even though I have read it many times, I still find new meanings in it. If you haven't read The Secret Garden yet, I highly recommend it to you.
