3. Read a student’s book report and label the different parts with the information below.
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.

My favourite book is The Secret Garden. It was written in 1909 by
Frances Hodgson Burnett. The book became very popular and is
still one of the greatest books for children.
The main characters are Mary, Mr Craven (Colin’s father), Dickon,
and Colin. After her parents die, Mary goes to live at her uncle’s
manor house. One day, she finds the secret garden, which looks
wild and neglected. With her friend Dickon, she makes the garden
beautiful again. Later, they meet the sick and unhappy Colin.
Finally, with the help of nature and friendship, both Mary and Colin
become happier and healthier.
This book has taught me to love nature and see how it can help us. I’m inspired by the author’s description of nature. As Burnett said,
“If you look the right way, you can see that the whole world is a garden.”
I’ve read the book twice and still enjoy it. If you have never read anything by Frances Hodgson Burnett, I recommend starting with this book.
