Year of publishing：This edition first published 2000 Word Level：Level 2 (Elemantary 600 words) Number of pages：39 pages By reading King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table 、I had acquired knowledge about the Middle Ages in Britain . In the story 、a brave man usually took respect to the winner after the fight and was royal to him during his life . I think it is what called knight-errantry . In addition 、King Arthur always put his people and his country prior to himself 、which I consider it a thing that a great king will do . After reading this book 、I have learned that a person will succeed if he is confident in himself . When I am reading 、I always read aloud the content so that I can remember what I have read more than just look at the book . By doing so 、I can also take the opportunity to strengthen my speaking ability . However、there is a problem when I read the book . I always stop read the content when I see names or places that I do not know how to pronounce . What should I do 、give me some advice please ? This is my first time reading English books choosed by myself . I do not think that I am effective in reading books . I usually delay the schedule I planed in advance for several days . However、knowing that 「A thing will be done if you take it seriously . 」 from the professor Tsao 、I make a decision to take reading English books as an important thing and to do my best to follow the schedule I have made . 49777045 周婉婷
