1 Do you know the book Anne of Green Gobles
Anne of Green Gables is a famous novel by Lucy Maud Montgomery.
It tells the story of Anne Shirley—a lively, imaginative 11-year-old girl with red hair.
At first, a brother and sister (Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert) want to adopt a boy to help on their farm called Green Gables. But by mistake, they get Anne!
At first, Anne faces small "pains": she often talks too much, gets into silly troubles (like dying her hair green!), and misses her old home.
But soon, Anne’s kindness and creativity win everyone’s heart. She makes good friends (like Diana Barry), works hard at school, and learns to love Green Gables. Through her adventures, she gains confidence, true friendship, and a happy family.
