Emma: What are you doing, Li Lin?
Li Lin:
Emma: I have read it before. What do you think of the
Li Lin:Yu Gong found a good way to deal with his problem.
Emma: Really?It seems impossible to move a mountain.
Li Lin: But the story is trying to show us that anything is possible if you work hard. Yu Gong kept trying and didn't give up.
Emma:I think we should try to find other ways to deal with a problem.
Li Lin: But what could Yu Gong do instead of moving the mountains?
Emma: He could build a road.
Li Lin: We have different opinions about the story. There're many sides of a story and many ways to
understand it.
Emma: Yes, that's fine.

J. K. Rowling, the writer of Harry Potter, appeared on Today, an American morning talk show. There is good news and bad news. The1news for Harry Potter fans is that she said she is not working on2Harry Potter book.
But the good news is pretty amazing! Rowling has3Lumos, a charity (慈善机构) for children in orphanages (孤儿院). She said4got the idea for the charity when seeing a photo of a boy who seemed to be caged (被关人笼中). Her dream is to provide all these5with health, education and social care,
As you probably know, Lumos is the spell (咒语) to make light,6this name has a special meaning. This charity will help bring the7of orphanages to light. And it will8be a light of hope to the children living in orphanages and can hopefully make their lives much better.
At the end of the9, Rowling said, "I will surely write for children again10I love writing for kids. And maybe I'll get to read that new work to some of these children."

Bill: My favourite book is The Chronicles of Narnia : The Lion, the Witch(女巫) and the Wardrobe(魔衣柜) by C.S, Lewis. It's about four children who find a magical(神奇的) land inside a wardrobe. A witch makes the land winter forever, The children help save the magical land from the witch with the help of Aslan, a great talking lion. The children become leaders. But then they come back to our world ... until their next journey in Narnia. |

Eric: I like reading The Magic School Bus written by Joanna Cole best. The magic school bus can go everywhere, even inside the human body. I like Arnold, a boy in Ms. Frizzle's class. He's really funny and he's always afraid. |

Grace: One of my all-time favourite books is Ugly by Donna Jo Napoli. It's the story of an ugly young duck. It's a little sad, but after you finish reading it, you'll want to read it again and again. The way Donna Jo Napoli writes is special, and you can really get inside the characters' heads. It sounds like music when it's being read to you. |

Sally: My favourite book is Bloomability by Sharon Creech. It's about a girl whose parents are always on the move. Then she is suddenly taken to Switzerland by her aunt and uncle, away from her family. Interested? Then read this book! |
|
Jane: My favourite book is Nancy Drew Mystery(疑案) Stories by Carolyn Keene. I have read it about four times! It is about a girl who loves solving mysteries, and she finds a statue that whispers. Well, I'm not going to tell you the story. I'll let you read it by yourself. |
