When I m free or in trouble, I always take out a book and read quietly. In no time, I ve put my heart into it so that I ll forget all the troubles. It s in this way that I ve formed the habit of reading in any time.

Little boys as I was, I was interest in picture books and storybooks. I was struck by them. No sooner had I entered the middle school than I began to read novel, plays, and essays and so on. I found I could get much from them. Little by little I took great interest in literature and last term I won the first prize in the composition contest among middle-school students in Zhe Jiang.

Reading The Emperor s New Clothes , I had to let out a burst of laughter over his fool. The Little Match Girl couldn t keep me from crying for her misery. Robinson Crusoe took me into a strange world full of danger. And I was also deeply impressed by Helen Keller s patience and perseverance Besides these, books also tell me other thing -how to be a man and how to tell the difference between right and wrong. In a word, good books can make me know what I didn t before. So I think of a good book as my best friend.

I ll never forget this famous saying, Good books are best friends who never turn their backs upon us.
