B.

Of the six characters, I like Phoebe the most .Although Phoebe seems so stupid, she made this episode more funny and attractive. And I think she is a smart girl that she always has special idea! The character I like least is Joey. Because he never works hard and always bother other. And his attitude to women is giddy. I don't like such an unreliable man!

The author of this book loves books so much that he had worked in the bookstore for 17 years.  Although he no longer working in bookstore, he still very fanatical in bookstores.  This book is about the author's memory of the bookstore.  I think this book was so special because it is the first book I have read that descript about bookstore. 

Reading this book, I could not only understand bookstore staff's works and book history but also strongly felt the author's enthusiasm for the books.  Amazing, this book also remind me that I am enjoy the comfortable feeling about sitting on the wood floor too.  Reading is not only attractive because of the content of the book but, the atmosphere is also very worthy of enjoyment.  

There are many bookstores in Taipei. Some have a comfortable sofa, the sweet-sounding music, bright light, friendly service, a large French window.  Some bookstore even 24-hour open. I feel very fortunate to live in the city where the resources of book are very sufficient.  The first sentence in whole book is that the author said "My first thing in a day is to go to bookstore and I always filled with a quiet excitement. This book really let me be more eager to go into the bookstore and read!

Book: Animal Farm

Author: George Orwell

Publishing Company: Bookman Books

Number of Pages: 113

Animal farm is an interesting fable. The outline of the story is that there are animals living in a farm and the owner of farm always abuses them. Finally, the animals are unable to stand unjust treating. They revolute and overthrow the host. Animals successfully establish their own farm and live in peace at first. Gradually, the leader of animals-a pig called Napoleon begins to abuse authority. The farm fell into disorder as before.

I had read Chinese edition before, so it is easier to me to realize the metaphor of story this time. I think that the story is a reflection of modern society. Author wrote this story to hint that people is greedy and eager for power and authority. Avarice not only happens in political events but also in our surrounding-company, class and all kind of organization Maybe, greed is human's inherent element and none of us doesn't desire for power. But after reading this short story, we can examine ourselves, our country and our world. By trying to restrain our desires and being more selflessness, our world must be more peaceful.

I am glad that I read this book in my youth. From now on, I will remind myself not to be greedy. Animal Farm is really a classic and meaningful novel. It's really worth reading.

After reading this article, I was surprise that there are many tips in learning. I thought deeply about my learning habit. I was shock that I had used some wrong ways in learning. I try to correct and now I have used some methods.

First, I make a list in my notebook to remind me what I should every day. Second, I chip away bog job into several parts to ease my pressure. I was glad that I got this strategy because I always hoped to finish my work as quickly as possible in the past. For example, in the weekend, I arranged all my work in Saturday and got whole free Sunday. But, it is not efficient way in learning. And it also makes me feel pressure. Now, I try to get up early in weekend. I writing down my learning schedule and I still leave some free time for myself to take break. By chipping away big job, I feel more relax and enjoy reading more.

Some methods I still don't use. I always read an article only one time. I just guess the meaning when I encounter puzzles in the article. According this introduction, maybe I should change my way in reading. First step of my plan, I skim the article and focus on headline. Then read carefully and circle what I don't understand. I will still guess the meaning. But once I can't understand definitely, I will look up dictionary or ask other until absolutely realize. Finally, I will try to keep a journal to record my mistake and see that I am improved or not .This plan is a little hard for me to reach. I will try my best in the future.

I have one question of the introduction. Read twice or more than two times can make me realize more. But if I don't have enough time as during the exam, is there another way in reading?

It's the first time that I read English novel. I thought it's a complex book that I have to think twice to comprehend. Because of this reason, I have only read half of it. In the beginning of the book is boring, because it just describes the major character-Eddie's daily life. There are nothing special and exciting that really attract me. But, after Eddie died , the story became more interesting.
