Michael Jordan is a basketball player. He is famous in the world. I like him. I like the NBA because he is a NBA player. He played for thirteen years for the Chicago Bulls. Many people understand basketball. A lot of people love basketball. But Micheal Jordan lives basketball. Every game is important to him.

Michael Jordan can jump long and very high. That is very cool and very important for a basketball player. Nike makes shoes for basketball players. People from Nike said,"This new star can fly.He is going to be very famous." I think that very cool.

I like Jordan. This book has a good story about Jordan. This book can make us know a lot about Jordan. I think many people will like it.

On July 23,1989, Radcliffe was born in Fulham London. At elementary school he had performance experience, and he first set foot on the screen in 1999, in the Dickens novel drama David Copperfield where he played the young David. In the same year, Chris Columbus was chosen as the director of first of Harry Potter film. He thought this boy suited the role of Harry.

I think, a person's success needs not only capability, but also really good luck. I do envy him.

The Count of Monte Cristo

Emma Wang

I spent two weeks reading The Count of Monte Cristo. This is a very exciting book and very famous in the entire world.
The author of this book is Alexandre Dumas, a famous French writer in nineteenth century. His books include The Three Musketeers, The Count of Monte Cristo and so on.
This story happened in 1815, and the main character is Edmond Dantes, a young man and the captain of the Pharaoh. When he was still at sea, the last captain died of illness, so he became the captain. But Danglars, who worked on board, is very jealous of Dantes, so he framed him and makes him stay in prison for fourteen years.
But Dantes makes a best friend in prison. A cellmate, his name is Faria, helped Dantes to escape the prison, and told Dantes where he has a lot of treasure. Dantes found that place and then he was very rich.
Dantes wants revenge. He used that money to become a count, and he finds the enemies who framed him when he was a young man, and makes them go mad or die.
At last, the Count of Monte Cristo has finished his hatred, and he leaves Paris.
I like this story, and I think the Count of Monte Cristo is very intelligent and persistent, and I think this story reflects the darkness of society at that time.
I started reading this story on the morning at the 17th of January and I finished reading it on the evening of the 29th of January. I think this book is good and very interesting. The English level I rate as about right and I want to introduce this book to all my friends.

Twilight

Miranda Fan

I read Twilight. The genre is love and vampire. This book’s author is Stephenie Meyer. I started reading it on the 24th of January and finished reading it on the 6th of February.

The book appeared in 2005, and the movie based on it was released in 2008. This story happened in America.

Bella’s parents divorce, and she moved to Forks with her father, and she studies in high school. She gets acquainted with Edward, and then she falls in love with Edward. But Edward isn’t a human, he is a vampire, from the Cullen family. Before 1918, he was a human, but in 1918 he got ill, so his vampire father changes him. And he knows everyone’s minds, except Bella’s, because he loves her.

But the other vampire family wants Bella’s blood, and they harm Bella. Edward wants to protect her, so his family initiate a war between the two vampire families.

In the end, Bella wants Edward to change her, to become a vampire. He agrees, but not now. They wait for Bella to finish high school.

This is a good story, because it is very mysterious. But it’s so difficult, so I don’t want to introduce it to my classmates.

Snow White

Tiger Li

I read Snow White. This story is a famous children’s story. I started reading it on the 1st of November and I finished reading it on the 2nd of November.

Snow White is a lovely and beautiful girl. She is very kind to people and people love her, but her mother died. Her new mother is a very bad woman. She thinks Snow White is more beautiful than her so she wants to kill her, because she thinks that she will be the most beautiful in the world. However Snow White was saved by seven short boys. After then, Snow White and seven short boys live a happy life together.

From this story we can learn that kind people can be very lucky but bad people will be killed by themselves, so we should learn from Snow White. We should be kind people and help each other. The English level I rate as easy so I want to introduce it to my classmates.
