1. Who is your favourite character Why？
2. Why do you think the book is named The Secret Garden
My favourite character is Mary Lennox. Because she is brave and kind.
Because the garden is a key element in the story.
The book is called The Secret Garden because
it's about a hidden garden that no one knows about.
The secret garden also stands for one's shielded
(封闭的) heart with hidden feelings like sadness
and loneliness.You need to unlock a person's heart
so that he /she can heal and grow,just like how
nature and friendship help Colin recover and step
out of his secret world.
What have you learnt from this story
From this story, I've learnt that nature has a magical
healing power, and sharing secrets or
problems with others can bring happiness. Also,
taking care of something ,like the garden,helps us
grow into kinder, more positive people.
I've learnt that friendship is very important.
