One day, he ventures far out into the sea and catches a huge marlin. He fights with the fish for days, but on his way back to shore, sharks eat the marlin, leaving only its bones. This book has taught me the true meaning of perseverance. Even though Santiago loses the fish in the end, he never gives up. I was deeply inspired by his courage and fighting spirit.

For my favourite English book, I've chosen Shakespeare's play Hamlet. Shakespeare wrote the play around 1600. The story is about ... For my favourite English book, I’ve chosen Shakespeare’s play Hamlet. Shakespeare wrote the play around 1600. The story is about a young prince who is visited by the ghost of his father, the old king of Denmark. The king tells him he was killed by Hamlet’s uncle, who then became the king. Hamlet pretends to be mad to uncover the truth, but the story ends in tragedy for all. The book has helped me to understand what it’s like to survive and do the best I can, even when I have to carry a great weight on my shoulders. The story is a tragedy. It’s exciting and yet so sad that I cried in some places. I can also understand why it is considered one of the greatest plays in the English language. Shakespeare’s most famous line is in the play: “To be, or not to be, that is the question.” This is when Hamlet struggles with whether it is better to live or die, considering the problems he faces. Sample 1 For my favourite English book, I've chosen Shakespeare's play Hamlet. Shakespeare wrote the play around 1600. The story is about a prince named Hamlet from Denmark. After the sudden death of his father, Hamlet's uncle Claudius became the new king and married Hamlet's mother Gertrude. This made Hamlet extremely upset. One night, Hamlet met the ghost of his father, who told him that Claudius had murdered him. Hamlet decided to seek revenge. He pretended to be crazy to spy on Claudius and tried to prove his guilt. Although he eventually killed Claudius, Hamlet also died in the end. It is a famous tragedy about thought, action, and human emotion. Sample 2 Exercises 单项选择 1.
