June Holiday Reading: Book Review

Dear boys and girls!
Holidays are here again!
It's time to relax, have fun and do some revision.

I love school holidays as there will be more time to read, read and read my favourite books!
I certainly hope that you will develop good reading habit which can be a lifelong hobby :)

Let's read at least 2 books this holidays and choose at least 1 book for the book review assignment.
The book review format is as follows:
1) Title of book
2) Author of book
3) Favourite character(s) and why
4) Favourite part(s) of the story and why

Here is an example:
1) Rachel's Holiday
2) Marian Keyes
3) Josephine - the group support therapist. She is a very firm and determined person who knows the right moment to ask the right questions.
4) My favorite part of the story was when Rachel's parents visited her at a therapy session. When her parents explained what really had happened years ago which caused her mother to be depressed, Rachel had a revelation and realized that she was not to be blamed, and at that instant, all of Rachel's tensed muscles started to relax and all the years of guilt and pain was gone at that moment. I have learnt how important it is to be open to one's family and friends to clarify doubts and concerns, and that sometimes things are not like what they seem to be based solely on one's perspective.

Have fun reading and enjoy your holidays!
Remember to plan time for holiday written assignments (Math Revision Papers, Science Online Practices etc) and revision on your weak topics. Take care and see all of you next term!
