In this vacation,I have read two graded English readers.They are “Three Men in a Boat” by Jerome K.Jerome and “A Christmas Carol” by Charles Dickens.
“Three Men in a Boat” says that Jerome and his two friends,George and Harris,thought they were not really healthy.So they decided to go on a holiday.They wanted to go up the river.Through their dog,Montmorency didn’t like this idea,but it had to go with them.The three people and a dog went up the Thames and started their journey… The author used many,many small stories in this book as associations,and it made the story more lifesome.The whole book has no words very hard so I can understand it easily.The presswork of this book has no error,and that is good.
“A Christmas Carol” by Charles Dickens says that Mr.Scrooge was a really closefisted man with a lot of money.One night his copartner that has died came to his house,told him that he shouldn’t be so closehanded and three ghosts will come to him at the midnight.The first ghost,The Ghost of Christmas Past,let him recollected things suffering.And,the second ghost,The Ghost of Christmas Present,let him see how others celebrate Christmas.At last,the third ghost,The Ghost of Christmas Future,showed him things will happened if he didn’t changes:He had died with no friend; people took things he used when he was alive.And Mr.Scrooge changed into an accommodating man.This book is not hard either so I can understand it easily too,but it’s really a good book,one of my favorites.
These books are both in The Oxford Bookworm collection.This collection has some really good contents so I would commend it hardly.And,I would like to read more wonderful books like these…
