Elf: A silver spoon ... and a big gold coin!
Nils: Okay ... I could let you go.

□ 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 favorite book is Journey to the West. It was written by Wu Cheng'en in the 16th century, and it is one of China’s Four Great Classical Novels.
It has been widely loved by people for centuries and has been adapted into many TV series, movies and cartoons. So, it’s very popular among both children and adults.
Sample Writing
The story is about Monk Tang Sanzang and his three disciples—Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, and Sha Wujing—who travel west to get Buddhist scriptures. They face 81 difficulties. Even though the journey is full of challenges, they always help each other and never give up.
This book teaches me to be persistent and care about teamwork. They never stop even when things are hard. I’ve read it many times and still enjoy it. If you want an exciting and meaningful story, I recommend Journey to the West.(共11张PPT)
