Little boys as I was, I was interested 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 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 things--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 know 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.
