Book review by Jarrad

On the weekend I read a totally amazing book called The Adventures（历险记）of Siegfried and Hannah.It was such a cool book because it was full of magical journeys to many mysterious lands.You never knew where the characters were going to end up next.

The main characters are a boy called Siegfried and his little sister Hannah.They are always ready for a mysterious adventure every time they step out their door.The book contains twelve separate stories.

I won't spoil it for you，but what I loved the most was that the main characters were just like real kids.They were the sort of kids that I'd want to be friends with.

I would really recommend（推荐）that you read this book，especially if you like fairies，dragons，magic，adventures and surprises.It is the best book that I have read all year.There was nothing I did not like about this book，except that it should have been longer!

When I got up this morning, I was so surprised to find a new watch on my desk. I couldn’t help crying.

I lost my old watch last Monday. It was a present from my father for my thirteenth birthday. I still don’t know where or how I lost it.

I felt really sad when I couldn’t find the watch. I stayed at school to look for it until very late.

When I came home, no one was there. At nine o’clock, Mom called back and told me that Dad was hit by a car on his way to look for me. He was sent to the hospital.

I went to the hospital that night and told Dad I was sorry. I also told him I lost my watch, but he did not get angry.

Dad’s left leg was badly hurt, and he stayed in the hospital for several days. He just came back home yesterday, and this morning I found the new watch.

Thank you, Dad, for loving me so much.

At the beginning of human history, people could only eat food they found. But then people learned to find more ways to get food. About 10, 000 years ago people started to farm the land. After that, people developed farming skills.

People eat different food in different areas. In China rice is the main food for people in the south while the people in the north eat noodles. People who live in European countries near the sea eat lots of fish. But in Central Europe, people are away from the sea. So they don’t eat so much fish. They eat more special meat instead.

People eat food with different tools in different areas. In China, people always like using chopsticks while in North American, Australia and Europe, people always like using knives and forks, to our surprise, in India and the Middle East, people always pick up food with their own fingers.

Now people can eat different food from different areas. As we can see it is possible to convey food easily from one part of the world to another. We can almost cat whatever we like at any place of the world. For example people in Britain can cat bananas from Africa and rice from India. Food is becoming a very big business now.

Long long time ago, a man called Tom got a book. It was about the secret of a special pebble (鹅卵石) that could turn anything into real gold. The special pebble was lying among other ones on the beach. Because they looked the same, the special pebble was almost impossible to be found. If people touched the special pebble, it would feel warm. However, other pebbles were cold.

After learning the secret, Tom was excited. He dreamed of becoming rich. So he sold all that he had, bought garden forks, went to the beach and started picking up pebbles. On the first day, he picked up pebbles and then he threw them into the sea if there were not special. Again and again, the special pebble didn’t appear. But he didn’t give up and then he continued.

Several years later, suddenly he picked up one pebble which was warm. But because he had such a strong habit of throwing one pebble after another without thinking, he threw this special one into the sea as usual. He lost the chance to be rich. What a pity!

In fact, good chances do come in our life at any time. Try to hold them as soon as possible instead of missing them.
