My Favourite Book
We can`t live
without books. Book teaches us to be kind, to understand other people and help
them. Books have been with me since my childhood. My parents have a big home
book collection. There many interesting books by English and American writers.
(…) I have read many marvellous books : “ Alice in Wonderland” by Luis Carrol,
“Mowgli” by Rudyard Kipling, “Robinson Crusoe” by Daniel Defoe and many other
interesting books, but my favourite book is “ The adventures of Tom Sawer” by
Mark Twain.
Twain was a famous
American writer. (Mark Twain was his pen-name, his real name was Samuel
Clemens) He published the novel in 1876. It is an adventure story. It takes
place in America in a small town on the Mississipi River. The plot of the book
is full of thrilling moments.
The main
character of the book is Tom Sowyer. He was a boy with a wild, rich
imagination. He and his friends often dreamt of different adventures. Tom was
very naughty, but he was kind and brave, besides he was very noble. To add to
this, he was a real friend, and his friend could rely on him.
The book is
beautifully written, it is touching and funny. Moreover, the author`s sense of
humour draws children`s attention to the book and makes the book amusing and
entertaining.
It`s well worth
reading and I highly recommend it to those who haven`t read it yet.
My Favourite Book
I
am fond of reading and I can`t imagine my life without books. Man cannot live
on bread alone. Books are the source of knowledge and the means of
selfperfection.
I
like to read books by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and my favourite story is “The
Hound [haund] of the Baskervilles”. It is an intriguing story that takes place
in London and Dartmoor.
The
book is full of thrilling thrilling moments, as the author creates tension with
unexpected twists and vivid descriptions. This fascinating book is about the
famous detective, Sherkock Holmes, who tries to solve the mysterious death of
Sir Charles Baskerville. Soon it becomes clear that Sir Henry, sir Charles`
nephew is also in danger. Fortunately Holmes manages to solve the mystery and
protects Sir Henry`s life.
The
book is beautifully written. The reader is kept in suspense until the very end
of the book. What gives the book its dark atmosphere, is the silent, evil
presence of the legendary hound which dominates the story throughout.
I
thoroughly recommend “The Hound [haund] of the Baskervilles”. It`s well worth
reading. It is a highly entertaining read as the author shows the depth of
psychological analysis and the insight into the human nature.
My Favourite Book
Some
people think that books will be replaced by computers, but I don`t believe it,
as books are the greatest wonders of the world. They help us to
discover new things and explore new ideas.
When
I have spare time I read books with great pleasure. Time spent on a good book
is never wasted. I have read many interesting books: (…..), but my favourite
book is “Robinson Crusoe” by Daniel Defoe. Daniel Defoe lived many years ago.
He wrote the novel “Robinson Crusoe” in 1719 when he was 59.
The
plot of the book is very gripping and has an unexpected twist. The language is
rich and interesting.
This
novel is about one boy. He became a sailor as he liked sea very much. He went
to sea many times, but once the ship broke and all people were drowned. But
Robinson could swim and saved himself. The sea carried him to the shore.
Unfortunately, there were no people there.
Robinson
Crusoe lived on an island for 28 years. He worked a lot, he worked all time and
learnt to make many useful things. I think that this novel is a praise to human
labor and the victory of a man over nature. The book is full of thrilling
moments as the author creates tension with unexpected twist and vivid
descriptions. I am sure that this novel seizes on all generations. I thoroughly
recommend to read it. It`s well worth reading.
