Hello, my name is Alice. I'm a student of Grade 7 and I like reading books. Today is Saturday. I go to the bookshop and buy a book called The Great Blue Yonder (《天蓝色的彼岸》). I just finish reading it and let me tell you what it is about.
In the book, when Harry has a fight with his sister Eggy, he says, "You'll be sorry after I die!" Several minutes later, Harry really dies. He has to go to a place called the Great Blue Yonder. Harry is regretful. He still has many things to do and he doesn't want to die.
Then Harry meets a boy named Arthur. With his help, Harry goes back to his world again. He sees his teachers and classmates at school first. Later, Harry goes back home. He can't speak, so he writes "sorry" and "I love you" on the paper to Eggy. Eggy sees his words and cries. She also says sorry to him. But the time is up. Harry has to leave and goes back to the Great Blue Yonder.
This is a great book about love. I even cry when I read it. Now I know it's silly to hurt (伤害) our family and friends. We should always remember to say "I love you" to them.
When we talk about reading, we probably think of eyes, because we do the reading with eyes. But we can do some reading with ears. too. With the development of smart phones, it's getting easier to do some reading with ears—by listening to stories, news, novels and so on. This is audio reading(有声阅读).
Many people like doing audio reading in bed before going to sleep. They like to just stay in bed in the dark before they fall asleep. This would be the best time to do some audio reading. If you read a book made of paper, the lights have to be turned on and you have to turn the pages with your hand.
People can do audio reading when the legs, body and arms are kept busy. It is favorite when people are exercising or doing housework. Some people would like to do audio reading in the kitchen. They think it's boring to cook. So they can enjoy their time by listening to news or stories at the same time.
Also, audio reading is helpful for blind people who can't see clearly. It's difficult for them to do reading in the past. But now, with the help of audio reading, they can listen to what they want.
But be careful ! Don't make yourself and others in danger. Let's take driving for example (例子). If you lose yourself in listening, you can't drive well. It is sometimes dangerous.
