When I was a little boy, I was interested in comic books and storybooks. When I was a middle school student, I began to read novels, plays, essays (散文) and so on. I found I could get much from them. Little by little, I took a great interest in literature (文学) and last term I won the first prize in the composition contest (作文竞赛) among high school students in our city.
Reading "The Emperor's New Clothes" makes me laugh a lot about the emperor's silly behavior. "The Little Match Girl" makes me feel sad. Robinson Crusoe takes me into a strange world full of danger. And I am also deeply moved by Helen Keller's spirit of being strong and never giving up. Besides these, books also tell me other things—how to be a brave man and how to tell the difference between right and wrong. In a word, good books can let me know what I don't know before. So I think good books are just like my best friends.
