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!

Holiday Reading: book review

Yeah! School holiday is here!
Enjoy yourselves and do plan time for homework and revision too.

Here is a reminder of homework for the week:
1) Math Term 1 Holiday Revision worksheet
2) Revise Math Practice Paper and CA1
3) Revise English Practice Paper and CA1
4) Newspaper cutting: 1 article and 3 new words (write down the meanings of words)
5) Read at least 1 storybook and write an online book review

Here is the book review format:
1) Title of book
2) Author
3) Your favourite charater(s) and why?
4) Describe your favourite part of the story.
5) Would you recommend this storybook to a friend? Why or why not?

Here is my book review.
1) Title: Watermelon
2) Author: Marian Keyes
3) My favourite character is Claire as she is a kind and brave person. She tries her best in everything she does.
4) I enjoy the part of the story when Claire realised how her family members love and cherish her. Although she lived and worked in another country and did not get to see her family often, they still cared a lot for her. When she encountered problems, she was always welcome back home where her family would encourage and help her.
5) I would recommend this storybook to my friends as it is interesting and well-written. I'm sure my friends would enjoy reading it too.

I'm looking forward to reading your book reviews. Have fun!
