Describe a book you have recently read
I would not consider myself as a book lover. To be honest, reading is not my cup of tea. But I’d like to tell you about a book I have recently read called “A Slice of the Moon”. It’s by Sonia Toksvig, I think that’s the author’s name. It’s an adventure book for children. So, I borrowed it from my cousin, partly because she said she had read it and couldn’t put it down. Well, it’s set in rural Ireland in the 19th century and it’s the story of how a family fled the country to escape the famine. It then narrates their journey across the sea to America. It’s told from the point of view of the young girl in the family and it’s a really captivating book, but quite horrific, I mean it sent shivers down my spine. Many of the characters die on the trip. It was very tragic, one sad event after another. I liked the way the author developed the plot and built these characters that you feel so much for, especially the young girl who is adorable. I think I really enjoy it because it is very easy to read. I know it’s aimed at young children but it is really engaging, I mean, the cliff-hangers had me on the edge of my seat all the way through. Overall, I would definitely recommend it. I think it’s a really good read, not only for children but also adult. I think there’s something for everybody there. So it’s great, in fact , I’d go as far as to say, it’s possibly the best adventure book for children that I have ever read.
Why is reading important?
Well, I’d say reading is probably the foundation of everything we do. Everything we learn tends to come from reading, whether it’s from a website or in a book. So it’s hugely important, without reading we wouldn’t be able to make the progress we have made as a society. I mean, we make scientific progress by sharing and reading research in scientific journals, right? On top of that, I reckon reading is an important past time for many. It brings great pleasure and enjoyment, it helps us escape, and it helps us be creative. It also broaden our horizon and give us many useful knowledge. I think everyone needs to read.
Give opinion : I’d say, I think, On top of that, I reckon
Give consequences : Without reading
Give an example : I mean
