感想:

不知道大家知不知道你們的父母是如何認識對方，墮入愛河的呢?

這本書是由四個不同的年輕人各自寫出他們父母

真實的戀愛故事而組合而成的。當中有令人會心微笑的情節；亦有令人心酸想落

淚的情節，但是這幾個故事都有一個共通點──它們都是時間逝去的見證。

故事各自帶出不同的道理，像寫出父母年老後依舊相愛，但女

兒卻已擁有自己的世界和生活，與父母日漸疏遠。這暗示我們要多關心父母，因

為屬於爸爸媽媽的相愛故事，其實也屬於他們的下一代。倘若當初沒有父母的相

遇，恐怕我們的故事也從來沒有開始。

大家亦可能曾經覺得自己的父母不夠好，想把他們換掉。在

這故事中的作者──敏芝正是不喜歡父親，認為爸爸不讓自己再重讀是不愛她的

表現。然而，一次時光倒流的經歷，令她明白到自己從前只看得見自己沒有的東

西，現在她要學懂看見自己擁有的東西。其實大家肯多細心觀察父母，便會發現

他們總是把關愛埋在心裏，不輕易說出來。我們不可因此評定他們是不稱職的父

母，而是應欣賞他們在背後默默支持着我們的精神。

另外亦有作者留意到她從小到大，每逢一家人外出，父母總是一左一右牽着

她的手，連成一線。即使自己長大了，父母依然緊緊牽着雙手不放。作者一直感

到不解，直到她開始談戀愛，才明白只因父母很愛對方，便想永遠連在一起，永

不分離。

這本書運用了很多修辭技巧，例如運用了插敍。作者把父母

的戀愛故事插入了現實中，令故事顯得更有連貫性，更加緊湊。

我認為這本書適合一家大小一同閱讀，回味大家成長的經歷。希望大家細閱

這本書後能體會到父母對孩子的愛是多麽的深厚，並向你們的父母表達感激的

心。

3A Law Ming Sum, Elizabeth (18) Book’s title: The Undomestic Goddess Author: Sophie Kinsella Publisher: Bantam Dell Number of pages: 404 Summary: Samantha Sweetings is a lawyer who is desperate for a partnership. Being a workaholic, what Samantha cares the most is work. Little does she know how to do housework. Housework is only a noun to Samantha. Before Samantha gets her partnership, she has made a huge mistake which wrecks any chance of a partnership and dismisses her from her post. Depressingly, she walks out of her London office, gets on a train and finds that she is in the middle of nowhere. Samantha is being offered a job as a housekeeper by mistake when she asks for directions at a big and beautiful house. Samantha takes up the offer and starts her new life. Although she can go back and be a lawyer again at the end of the story, she chooses to work as a housekeeper. Comment: I think this book is great because I have learnt a few things from this book. I have learnt that nothing is much more important than living happily. Work only takes up a little part of our lives. The most important thing is to be happy. Fame and money seem very attractive to all of us, but you can’t get happiness from them. Even you feel very happy and excited when you earn a great amount of money, you will only feel lonely without friends and family after all. This book emphasizes that both love and friendship take up an important role in our lives. It’s love that matters most. Samantha’s mother told Samantha that she had to thrive under pressure. Since then, Samantha doesn’t care anything but work. After working as a housekeeper, she relaxes herself and finds out many things are much more important. For example, love and music, etc. She starts enjoying her life and living with her lover happily ever after. From this book, I have also learnt that we have to try to survive in different situations so as to see things differently. We can’t refuse surviving under different situations and just walk away from them. Then, we can’t see things differently and change ourselves. Moreover, I have found that parents are very important to children. Samantha listens to her mother and is ready to thrive under pressure for the rest of her life. Therefore, parents should behave well because how their behavior will affect their children’ lives forever. Also, I think that parents nowadays should let their children do housework. Otherwise, their children won’t know how to take care of themselves. Samantha doesn’t know how to do housework because she only studied in her childhood. Her mother hired a domestic helper to take care of Samantha. So, Samantha hires a domestic helper to take care of her when she grows up. I am quite amazed by the number of children who reflects inability of how to take care of themselves. I really feel sorry for those children.

3A Ng Hiu Yi Maggie (26) Title: The Time Traveler’s Wife Author: Andrey Niffenegger Publisher: VINTAGE U.K. Summary: Have you imagined having the ability of time traveling? Many people may think that it is good to have such magical power but for Henry, the main character in this book, it may not be a charming ability. The Time Traveler’s Wife, written by Andrey Niffenegger, is a novel about the love romance of Henry and Clare. Henry had an inherited disease that he would suddenly travel to another period of time uncontrollably. When he was in his middle age, he met Clare who was still a child and told her they would be a couple in the future. When Clare grew up, she met Henry and it was how their love affair started. Unfortunately, Henry had an accident when he was time-traveling and died. At that moment, Clare was still young but she didn’t forget Henry. She waited for the coming of Henry sincerely even she got older and older. Comment: The love between Henry and Clare touches me a lot. Since Henry would disappear suddenly, Clare always felt uneasy and was worried about Henry’s safety. However, her sincere love for Henry won all challenges so they could keep a steady and happy relationship. However, Henry’s death came suddenly. When I knew Henry was dead, I felt so sorry for Clare that she contributed a lot in the relationship. She suffered from miscarriages for many times because their children also inherited the disease. It was too cruel and unfair to leave Clare alone. However, I finally understand that true love is not judged by the amount of love devoted by a person from this book. Clare tried her best to maintain their relationship while Henry remained loyal to her. Some may think death is the most horrible moment in the world but it could not ruin their love. Henry’s death did not stop Clare’s love for him. What else did Henry and Clare fear? I think there is nothing. Love can be classified as so many types, love between families, love between friends, love between couples even love between pets and their owners. However, love is easily damaged because of money and fame nowadays. From news, we can often see some rich people hurt their families just because they want to inherit more fortune or some youngsters kill their lovers because they have broken up. We should remember the true meaning of love. I remember there is a phrase from a song’s lyrics saying, “if I had you, then money fame and fortune never could compete”. I think it is true that all of us should know and understand. This book can remind us the meaning of love as we are reading the moving story of Henry and Clare. It helps us to renew our soul. I highly recommend it to all of you.

書名: 雅舍小品

作者 : 梁實秋

不知道大家是否留意到現今文壇口水話題氾濫, 煽情文字充斥? 相信大家

都會不約而同地認為好書少之又少, 市面暢銷的都是一些俗不可耐的書. 但文壇

泰斗梁實秋所寫的雅舍小品則令人感到清爽自然. 本書是由三十四篇短文組成,

每一篇都和我們的生活息息相關, 例如: , , ,

和等, 其中我想和大家分享一下這一篇.

作者以一個不同的角度來談討「窮」. 在作者眼中所有人一生下來就是窮

人, 因為無人在一生下來的時候手中就拿着兩個金光閃閃的金幣或是一疊花花

綠綠的鈔票. 一般缺錢用的人是窮人, 但是一些紈絝子弟都可以是窮人,為什麼

呢? 我在此賣個關子, 答案就要由你們自己去書中尋找.

作者的文筆清新脫俗, 幽默詼諧. 另外, 他的比喻非常生動有趣, 這些

特點在這個篇章中表露無遺. 作者認人男人給人的第一印象就是髒!

因為他們的耳後脖筋, 土壤肥沃, 常常宜於種植小麥, 大麥. 另外, 有些男人的

腳好像是天然具有泡菜霉乾菜再加糖和頭的味道, 作這一個比喻實在令人拍案

叫絶. 不止如此，他還說有些男人喜歡在藏污納垢之處進行挖掘工作, 然後噢其

手指, 引以為樂!

作者除了認為男人「懶」之外, 還覺得他們貪吃, 梁實秋先生說: 「如果一

個男人半年沒有吃雞, 那他看了雞毛帚就會流涎三尺。」, 這句話真令人捧腹大

笑.

在看過這本書後, 我學會了以不同的角度來思考, 不要被傳統的框框限制了

我們思維的天空, 我們一定要有創新的思維才可以作出正確的選擇.

另外, 梁實秋先生不愧為中國現代中一位最成功的作家, 他在雅舍小品中流露出他點點的生活智慧, 難怪的作者林海音都說: 「雅舍小品在台灣暢銷數十年, 誰都讀過雅舍小品, 而且有些茶藝館還起名雅舍呢!」

今天想介紹給各位同學的書是由突破出版，呂宇俊先生作的《會考 0 分

與神奇小子》。不知道大家對自己長大後的前途會否感到憂慮迷茫呢？中三同

學要選科，各級同學要應付考試，又會否滿腦子充滿壓力，不知怎樣才好，甚

至有一刻想放棄呢？如果有的話，我就推介你看這本書。相信你一定會從中得

到很大的鼓勵。

這本書其實是呂宇俊先生的親身經歷。他是在父母離異，由嬤嬤揍大的家

庭長大。他的爸爸染有毒癮，媽媽就因為這樣離棄了他們。作者年少已經活在

陰暗的幽谷裡，多次轉校，在學校又壞事做盡，甚至誤交損友加入黑社會，步

他爸爸後塵。但昔日壞透的呂宇俊在會考考獲 0 分這個羞愧成績後，人生最黑

暗的時期卻得到信仰的幫助，從天父而來的力量，再次報考會考，並考獲佳績。

最後他更以一級榮譽大學畢業，現在還是一位教師呢。各位同學看到這裡是否

感到很驚訝，對他傳奇的一生很佩服，甚至乎覺得很戲劇性呢？

看完這本書後，我和其他讀者一樣深受感動。作者在這本書開首運用了散

敘，以他現在和一個與他有類似經歷的學生聊天開始，帶出一幕幕的回憶。初

初看到作者是在破裂的家庭中長大，心裡已經覺得自己幸福得很。因為我可以

在完整家庭中成長，有家人的疼愛。同時，我亦很欣賞作者嬤嬤對他不離不棄

的愛。她從沒有放棄自己的孫兒。雖然嬤嬤既沒有接受過教育，又不可以幫助

作者學習上的問題，但她堅決身教，作作者的好榜樣。雖然作者最終都誤入歧

途，但嬤嬤曾經付出的都有一定的價值。

另外，我非常佩服作者的毅力，永不言敗的精神。當他歷盡一切不如意的

事情後，最終都受到聖靈的感動，回到主的懷抱。他為了目標而奮鬥，自己制

定一些攻略，堅定自己的意志，重新報考會考，竭盡所能的精神實在值得我們

跟大家分享書中的一條「成功方程式」。這是作者自創的啊！

就是：目標明確+讓全世界知道+堅定+方法=成功

《西遊記》

內容：

《西遊記》是吳承恩的作品，也是中國“四大名著＂之一。書中講述唐三藏

以及他的三個徒弟一孫悟空, 豬八戒和沙僧往天竺取佛經路上歷盡艱險、降妖伏

魔的精采故事。正是這曲折離奇的故事情節贏得了廣大讀者的心，致使此書成為

我國的經典鉅著。

讀後感：

《西遊記》是一部家喻戶曉的經典鉅著，當我翻開此書，仿似跌進了那光怪

陸離、色彩斑斕的神話世界，讓我在享受閱讀的愉悅之餘，更能從中獲取不少的

人生啟示。《西遊記》情節緊湊有趣、曲折離奇，使人百看不厭。作者在書中刻

劃了四個栩栩如生的人物形象，他們各具天賦，在旅程中發揮互補不足之作用，

充分展現團隊精神，這四位角色正對應著現實社會中不同人的寫照，發人深省。

唐僧是《西遊記》中的靈魂人物，也是團隊的精神領袖。他具強烈使命感，

慈悲為懷、正直善良，對應現實中不諳爾虞我詐的君子，往往會被小人利用，但

崇高的品格永遠能贏得別人敬愛。

孫悟空武功高強、勇敢機智，常在大難關頭發揮創意，化險為夷，但他卻狂

妄自大，對應現實中性格衝動的青年，做事往往不顧後果。如果他們的父母師長

多加關懷和勸勉，他們定能好好反省並改過。

豬八戒好逸惡勞和貪圖美色，形象深入民心，這正是大眾的影子。我們偶爾

會躲懶和出錯，但憑著小聰明總能蒙混過關。其實人皆有惰性，每人心底也暗藏

一個豬八戒，只待你決定是當一個懶惰還是一個會三十六變的豬八戒呢！

沙僧是團隊裏默默奉獻的人物，謹守本分，常在緊要關頭發揮穩定的力量。

這像是社會中默默耕耘的一群。雖然他們的本領不大，但他們的貢獻卻不可抹煞。

唐僧及徒兒飽經歷煉終能完成任務取得佛經，全賴團隊精神。而團隊的組成

需結合不同才能的人，才能發揮互補作用。這正是《西遊記》蘊含的真諦。

《西遊記》流傳幾百年，不為新文學潮流淘汰，可見其價值。最奇妙的是隨著人

生閱歷的不同，所獲得的感受也截然不同，期待大家能從《西遊記》領悟到人生

的啟發！

3A Nicole, Chan Sze Nok (3) Title: My Sister Jodie Author: Jacqueline Wilson Summary: Pearl and Jodie were good sisters since they were young. Although they were really close to each other, they were very different in personalities. Pearl was shy and anxious while Jodie was outgoing and self-confident. Pearl adored her big sister. Their parents got new jobs at the posh Melchester College and that was the start of their new life. It was totally different in their home. Jodie had always been the leader but now it’s Pearl making new friends and fitted in. Jodie was left out and got in more and more troubles. To Pearl, it seemed that it was easy to cope with the new situation but Jodie really needed her. However, when tragic events occurred at the school Fireworks night, Pearl lost her sister and realized how much her sister meant to her finally. Comment: After reading this book, I am glad that I have got my sister as my best friend. The story is really moving. I cried a bit when I read the ending. I don’t think it is suitable for young children as the ending is too sad. Pearl relied on her sister at their old home all the time. She found that Jodie was the most important person to her in her whole life. I really like the way they treated each other. Jodie was like the second mum of Pearl. Their relationship was so good. It seemed that Jodie was a part of Pearl sometimes.

My favorite character in this book is Pearl because I think I’m a bit like her in some ways. I’m as shy as her and I also always want to find someone to rely on. Pearl is so lovely and polite and I love the way she cared about others. She seldom got angry with her sister and that’s a good way for us to learn. Pearl had a kind heart and she really loved her sister. However, she lost her at the end of the story. It’s a pity that Jodie couldn’t meet her new baby sister, May, at last. I hope I will be able to change the ending into a happy one like fairy tales. On the other hand, I think illustrations are cute and I like the cover picture very much. It is fun to look at the pictures with the story. They could help you to imagine the scene when the story is going on. I think this is a great and touching story. It’s interesting and exciting when the sisters got into their new life. Also, it would make you feel beloved and I’m sure you will love it too.

3A Ma Wai Ying, Grace (21) Title: In Her Shoes Author: Jennifer Weiner Publisher: Washington Square Press Summary:

Maggie and Rose Feller is a pair of sisters that share no common in personality and dress style, except their shoe size. Rose is the elder sister who is a hard-working lawyer but doesn’t really care about her beauty and she always struggles with her weight. However, Maggie is a completely different girl compared with her sister. She loves herself very much and her dream is to be a famous actress. There are always men around her so she never thinks of earning money by her own hands. This book tells us how these two girls recover their bad relationship since their mother’s death and how they can change each other’s lives… Comment:

The reason why this book attracts me is its title. The writer chose “In her shoes” as the title not only because the two main characters shared the same shoe size but also she wants to remind us that it’s important to thinks in others’ shoes more. Don’t always only think of ourselves. Instead, we should also care about others’ feelings, try to listen and accept their opinions.

In this story, the character I admire the most is Rose. Being an elder sister, she protects Maggie very well and keeps trying not to let her down. She cares about her sister. Her understanding of her mother’s sudden death is the reason why Maggie has become so immature is her mother’s sudden death. Though the relationship between them becomes worse and worse, Maggie never does things that hurt her little sister. I should learn to be such a good sister and treats my younger brother better.

This book just shows us the lives of two simple girls, but the inspiration it has bought to me is really special and encouraging. Everyone has problems and difficult situations to deal with. That’s why we are nervous about finding ways to manage them well. Sometimes we even want to evade all the annoying issues in our lives. However, we can’t ignore them forever. It isn’t counted as a life if we don’t have difficulties in it. I really appreciate the writer for providing such an encouraging lesson to me! This book involves love, trust, family and a lot more .I have gained a lot of inspiration that are never thought to be learnt in a fiction. I highly recommend this book to all people who think they are lonely in their lives. It can surely change their minds!

3A Shum On Ki, Angel (30) Title: My Sister's Keeper Author: Jodi Picoult Publisher: Atria Books Summary: This book is about the gorgeous love which is hidden in every family.In the book, the Fitzgeralds has got an all-bad-stuff-related son Jesse, a sick daughter Kate plagued by the leukemia since her childhood, and a healthy daughter Anna born to be the only match with Kate to donate blood to her sister to save her life.The whole story starts with Anna who was preparing to sue her parents in order to be medically emancipated and get rid of the endless donation.Before the closing of the case in court, the writer has revealed how Kate is suffered poorly from the illness, how Jesse and Anna was left by their mum who was busy in taking her bleeding daughter to hospital, how Anna was pulled out from her friend's birthday party to transplant bone marrow to Kate, and how Kate wanted to die and persuaded Anna from being a donor through the memories of the family members. At the end, Anna was declared that she was medically emancipated from her parents, but then, she was killed in a car accident, and her kidney was donated to Kate, who miraculously recovered and survived with no relapses anymore. Comment: I'm totally touched by this page-turning novel, especially the ending chapter from Kate's point of view 6 years after Anna's death, showing the love between the sisters. Originally, when I first turned the pages, I thought that Anna must hate Kate very much as she dropped Anna's opportunity for being a normal 13- year-old girl and turned Anna into a famous girl, not for her good looking, but her poorly sick sister.Then one day, she finally couldn't bear these and decided to sue her parents. Logical, right? That's my guess about the story at first. I even felt angry with Sara, Anna's mum, who put most of her care and love on her sick daughter. However, I found that I was totally wrong when I knew that it was Kate who told Anna to do so. Anna never, ever hated her sister. She even thought that it was meaningless for her to live in the world if she's not Kate's sister. She really loved her, so did Kate. I'm sure Kate valued her own life as she was a mature girl, The reason why she persuaded her sister not to be a donor, was because she didn't want to live with Anna suffering in hospital with no illness at all. I'm glad there is a chance for me who have no sisters to read the book and feel the love between real sisters. In this book, Picoult again adopted different points of view of the characters to tell the provocative story.It has given me a message that things could not just be defined as right or wrong. Everything has got deeper meanings. Is Anna's descision morally and ethically correct? I'm sure no one has got a right answer. It's just like a controversial topic-they are neither black nor white. I like Kate's ending part, which is the only chapter she shows her love to Anna directly. One of my friends said that the ending isn't perfect enough to have Anna died, but what I think is－ isn't that what life is like?

書名：哭泣的駱駝

作者：三毛

內容：

《哭泣的駱駝》是講述作者–三毛在沙漠生活周遭發生的人和事，當中有喜

有悲，而我最喜歡書中《沙巴軍曹》那一篇，故事中的軍曹在一夜之間失去了所

有同伴，他的同伴全都喪命於一場大屠殺中，而他卻因酗酒而逃過大難。可是這

段慘痛的記憶卻永久留在他的心中，令他生不如死，而他亦從此憎恨沙哈拉威

人。在一次騷亂中，他竟然在最緊急的時候選擇放棄自己的生命，來換取他一直

憎恨的沙哈拉威孩子的性命。

感想/評論：

此書的故事雖然簡單淺易，背後的道理卻帶給我很深的印象。就像《沙巴軍

曹》中，那位軍曹以自己的性命來換取一群天真的孩子的性命。縱然那些沙哈拉

威人曾經令他失去同伴，但他仍然以德報怨，犧牲自己來換取孩子的未來，他的

精神和犧牲真令人十分佩服和尊敬。

此外，書中除了描寫沙漠的生活外，亦表現出沙漠的荒蕪。沙漠裏物質的缺

乏和地理環境的限制，令居住在沙漠中的居民變得無知迷信，即使連一面鏡子、

一部照相機，他們都沒有看過，竟然還視之為可怕的東西。但正因為物質缺乏，

沙漠裏的人都願意互相幫助，完全沒有私心。他們願意分享所擁有的，珍惜有限

的資源，他們對生命充滿熱誠和喜悅。

另外，作者在書中運用了不少的寫作技巧，透過不同的寫作手法，一篇篇故

事被巧妙地演繹出來。作者用言語把自己的感情真摯地表達出來，而我身為讀者

亦感同身受。書中的內容大多以對話來表達，仔細刻劃出書中主角的性格，把故

事活生生地放在讀者眼前，令文章更添靈活性和生動有趣。

其實，隨著時代的變遷，在現今豐足的社會裏，人們要甚麼有甚麼，他們不

懂得珍惜食物，只會浪費物質，相比起活在沙漠中的人，連基本的食水都缺乏，

我們亦應學會知足，珍惜有限的資源，要知道，那些資源終有一天會用盡，那時

人們便要重過匱乏的日子了。

最後，我誠意推薦大家閱讀此書，這個由三毛創建的文學世界，詳細地寫出

作者在沙漠生活中發生的趣事，並道出了不少發人深省的道理，相信大家必定獲

益良多。

作者 : 馬翠蘿

書名:《誇越生死的愛》

大家好,我今日要介紹的書是馬翠蘿的《誇越生死的愛》。這本書寫幾位由香港出

發至布吉的年青人驚天地、泣鬼神的故事。透過他們在南亞海嘯的經歷，反映出

生命的頑強、人性的光輝。

書中的楊紫京對弟弟小煒的不離不棄，反映出血濃於水的姊弟之情。唐漢思

與周海韻間至死不喻的愛，能充分反映出愛能跨越界限，跨越生死，充分展示自

然災害給人類帶來的苦難和人類的渺小。而使我最深刻的，莫過於周海韻的媽媽

為保護周海韻而被海水沖走的一幕，自願犧牲，證明了母愛是最偉大而且無條件

的，更是無界限，沒有東西能取而代之。天災比任何東西更痛苦。在這場南亞海嘯中奪去了很多條性命，摧毀了無數

的家園，但藉著這場海嘯也表現了人間有情。

不過現在，很多人都不願拿出他們的愛心，更有些人利用別人的愛去做對自

己有益處的事，更有些自私的人會說：「人不為己，天誅地滅。」其實我們在生

活中，向身邊的人施出愛心一點也不困難。我們的一句話，一句祝福都可令人感

受到你的愛心。平日我們可以對媽媽說你的飯菜煮得真好，這也是愛。雖然看似

很表面，但你的讚賞卻很重要。除此之外，我們還要在行動上表達愛心，就像爸

爸晚上下班後，給他送上一碗熱湯。即使是簡單的動作也能帶出無限的暖意和關

懷。

假如我是這場海嘯中的生還者，剩下自己一個，我一定會覺得很痛苦，因為

要獨自一個面對種種的困難。但看完這本書，除了讓我學懂珍惜生命外，同時改

變了我一些看法。我相信面前的困難是不會有人幫助我移開的，但是他們會給我

勇氣，施出愛心，與我一起面對。我相信愛是無分種族、疆界，是永恆的，是偉

大的，因而能跨越生死。希望妳們聽過我的分享後，除了對愛會有所改觀外，更

學會如何珍惜眼前人，毫無保留地關心身邊的人。

3B Chau Tsz Ling (5) Title: The Lightning Thief Author: Rick Riordan Summary: This book is about a 12-year-old student called Percy Jackson, who bas been kicked out of one school after another. With ADHD and dyslexia, Percy is not a great student and always seems to get into trouble. But when a teacher transforms into a monster during a field trip and attacks Percy, strange things start happening. Percy soon discovers that he is demi-god, The Greek Gods are alive and well and living above the Empire state Building in New York, Percy’s mother is a human and his father is one of the Olympians, Chased by monsters and accompanied by his friend Grover, a satyr, Percy ends up at Camp half-Blood, a haven and training ground for the demi-gods. Percy’s adventures are far from over for someone has stolen Zeu’s master lightning bolt and Percy is a prime suspect. Accompanied by Grover and a daughter of Athena named Annabeth, Percy sets to find the lightning bolt. If he doesn’t find and return it within ten days, war could break out on Mount Olympus and when the gods fight, the consequences could be devastating. Comment:

The Lightning Thief is a book that I read in summer holidays. I chose this book because the cover page of this book attracts me .On the cover page, a boy is walking in the sea. He is holding a treasured sword. Lightning is striking. I thought it is impossible that people can walk in the sea. He is holding a treasured sword. The sky is lightning. I thought it is impossible that a people can walk in the sea without any equipment so I wanted to know what happened in the story.

This story is a science fiction. I think the theme of this book is to show the importance of friendship and the need to be courageous in a difficult situation because the main character called Percy Jackson also needs help form his friends to solve the problems and they are brave to face the monsters. The story took place in New York. The plot is full of twists and turns.

The character that I like most is Percy Jackson. He is the protagonist and hero in the story. He is courageous, clever, loyal and caning about his family and friends. He is brave too because he kills many monsters and saves his mother from hell. I like this book very much because it is exciting and good for teenagers and adults to read. The best part of the book is Percy Jackson who kills a dragon monster with his friends. It is very exciting. I learn a lot of things from the book such as how to get along with others. I know that we need to trust our friends and solve the problems together. This is a fantastic book. I will recommend it to my classmates and family to read it.

3B Ho Sin Yu (11) Title: Marine Conservation in Hong Kong Author: Alan Chan, Khoki Chan Publisher: Cosmos Books Ltd Content: Hong Kong‘s underwater world is beautiful and not many people know it. Marine Conservation in Hong Kong tells us the secret of the Hong Kong’s underwater world. The authors have taken many beautiful photos of different marine life such as corals. It also talks about Hong Kong’s marine environment, the marine parks and marine reserve. Comment: It is meaningful to read this book because it teaches us a lot of things about marine life in Hong Kong. You can’t believe that the underwater world is so beautiful in Hong Kong! The author has taken many beautiful photos and introduced many different kinds of marine life in Hong Kong. The introduction of green turtles is the parts which I am most interested in. Are there any sea turtles in Hong Kong? I must say ’No’ before I read this book. Among the seven species of sea turtles in the world, five species have been recorded in Hong Kong. How surprised I am when I know this truth! I think the turtles are very cute. The green turtles are classified as endangered. The water pollution is serious is Hong Kong. If we want to protect this marine life in Hong Kong, including the green turtles, we need to protect our sea and solve the pollution problem first.

3B Rachel Tang Pui Ling (30) Title：Twilight Author：Stephenie Meyer Publisher：Little Brown Comment： TWILIGHT is the first book of “The Twilight Saga” series. This novel is followed by NEW MOON, ECLIPSE and BREAKING DAWN. This series of novels is about the human, the vampires and the werewolves. The first book “TWILIGHT” introduces a seventeen-year-old girl, Bella Swan who moves from Phoenix to Forks and meets a vampire, Edward Cullen. Later, she falls in love with him. Therefore, she starts her dangerous life with Edward. Cullens’ family is different from other vampires because they only drink the animal blood rather than human. Besides the vampires, the other main characters are werewolves. Bella has a family friend who is called Jacob Black. He is a werewolf. The differences of the vampires and werewolves are vampires are cold-blooded, immortal and drink blood. However, fast speed is something they have in common. I love this excellent book very much as it is the first book that I have read which is about the love triangle between vampire, human and werewolf. It is extremely special to me. This series of novels are as boring as other love stories but exciting. It is complicated to write a love story about vampire, human and werewolf. I think that it is the most exciting one of the “TWILIGHT SERIES”. I love this novel so much because the plot and the climax of this story are attractive and breath-taking. The most exciting part of this story is when the Cullens’ mortal vampire enemies James, Laurent and Victoria come to the town and look for Bella and want to drink her blood and then kill her. James fights with Cullens’ family who dies and is burnt into pieces. I admire Edward the most. It is because he is protective of Bella and is willing to defy all difficulties and danger. The motto of this story is “I will love you every moment”. This motto makes this story sweet and unforgettable. I hope all of you will like this “TWILIGHT SERIES” and the movie.

3B Chow Tung King (6) Book: Billy Elliot Directed by Stephen Daldry Written by Lee Hall Content: In 1984, in a northern England mining town, miners re on strike were and the atmosphere was tense. Eleven-year old Billy Elliot, whose father and brother were participating in the strike, whose mother died quite some time ago and whose grandmother was not completely aware of what’s going on, did not like the brutal boxing lessons at school. Instead, he fell for the Ballet lessons. As his ballet teacher, Mrs Wilkinson supported Billy very much. She managed to get Billy an audition for the Royal Ballet School, but now he also had to open his heart to his family. Reflection: I think this is an inspiring film. Billy is a boy who loves dancing very much, wishing to be a ballet dancer, who is feminine on people’s mind including his father. For me, my mother gives me freedom of choosing the activities. When compared with the main character Billy, I feel blissful. I would think that everyone has their own habits and they can have their opinion of choosing their activities. In the movie, the most touching scene is about Billy seeing the letter written by his mother, and on the letter her mother said that she would respect and support Billy. After I read the letter, it lets me know that there’s nothing wrong for being different.

3B Poon Yui, Sarah (25) Book Title: Dracula Author: Bram Stoker Report:

You must have heard about vampire before. According to the dictionary, vampire means a dead person who leaves his or her grave at night to suck the blood of living people. Do you believe it? Yes, I do. Yet, I change my feeling to vampire after reading the book,” Dracula” “Dracula” is written by a famous writer called Bram Stoker. The story begins with a man, Jonathan Harker. When he went on a business trip to Transylvania with documents regarding the purpose of an estate in England, he was a little curious about his client Count Dracula. Thus he went to visit Dracula. Dracula always found excuse in order not to let Jonathan go away, so he had to stay there for a long day. In those days, Jonathan found out Dracula was a vampire by accident. He wrote everything in hid dairy. However, Dracula finally allowed Jonathan to go after Jonathan requested. Jonathan changed a lot after he came back from Transylvania. He made a promise with his fiancée, Mina that not to see the dairy because he didn’t want to remember it. However, Mina’s best friend became vampire because of an accident made by Dracula. In order to help her to avenge, they looked at the diary again to find out the habit of Dracula. Finally, they united to kill the Dracula successfully.

I admire the creativity of the writer very much. He chose “vampire’ as the motif. In the past, there were fewer topics about vampire because vampire gave bad impression to people. This also shows that people were very superstitious. Nowadays, we should not make wild guesses. We should believe things with reasons.

Besides this, we can see the influence of this book to us. In this book, Mina’s blood was drunk by Dracula so they could both read the mind of each others. It looks like the story of Harry Potter. In that story, the character, Voldemont part of the soul entered Harry’s body so they could read the mind of each others too.

I admire the character, Mina most. She is brave and kind. Besides, she lets me understand the power of love. Once, Dracula wanted to drink her blood so he warned if she did not let him, he would kill her husband. She gave in.

I highly recommend this book this mysterious book to my friend. I hope they will enjoy this book with me too!

3C Cheung Kit Nam, Cherry (7) Title: Pride and Prejudice Author: Jane Austen The story is set in a small town Longbourn in England, where Mr. and Mrs. Bennet and their five unmarried daughters lived. The parents’ characters are greatly different: Mr. Bennet was a wise and witty gentleman; while Mrs. Bennet is distracted by the issue of their daughters’ marriage. It is because after Mr. Bennet death, their money will be passed to Mr. Bennet cousin, Mr. Collin. In order to give their daughters a better life and future, Mrs. Bennet would try everything to get her daughters in marriage. As they waited, finally two handsome, rich and young single men arrived at Longbourn. They were Mr. Bingley and Mr. Darcy. Mrs. Bennet tried so hard to get her daughters to know this two gentlemen. Mr. Bingley did have a crush on Jane, the eldest daughter of Bennet family. However, the things which happened lately separated them. The main character Elizabeth fell in love with Mr. Darcy. At first, they hated each other because of their pride and prejudice. But what happened next had totally changed Elizabeth’s mind toward Darcy. Elizabeth’s sister, Lydia had run away with Mr. Wickham. Her family had no where to find her. But she returned home while her father was searching for her in London. The truth was that, Mr. Darcy actually found then and helped to pay the dowry for Wickham to take Lydia in marriage. This action impressed Elizabeth greatly. Finally, the two of them put down their pride and got into marriage. Her sister Jane and Mr. Bingley also got married. The novel ends with everyone trying to get alone after so many poor relations. Comments: I think this is a great classical reader. The story talks about the relationships and love among family members and people around us. I also learn one thing from this book. We should treat people fairly no matter who they are. In old England, only high-class people had the chance to possess more privileges but not the low-class. However, Elizabeth won’t give in. I think she’s a very high-class and intelligent woman. Also, she is reliable and honest too. She never gives up. What’s more, I learned that we should treasure every family member around us. When Mrs. Bennet loses Lydia, she finally realizes that sending her out was a big mistake. She was so joyful when she saw Lydia. Respect is the most important thing I learned from this book. We should respect people no matter who they are and what they had. We just need to respect him/her, just that simple. We can all do this.

3C Lee Cho Ki ( 20 ) Title: Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief Author: Rick Riordan Summary: This story is about a seventeen year-old boy, the god Poseidon’s son, Percy Jackson and his lightning bolt. One day, the god of Underworld, Hades caught Percy’s mother, Sally, and proposes she be traded for the bolt. Percy sneaks away from camp to travel to the Underworld, along with Grover and Anna Beth. And they need to find 3 pearls, which allow them to leave the Underworld. The first pearl is located in the lair of Medusa. They manage to decapitate her and they even take her head, which they later successfully use to fight against Hydra, which attacks them during their acquisition of second pearl from the crown of a giant statue of Athena. The final pearl is found on a roulette wheel at the Lotus Hotel and casino. They are encouraged by the casino staff to eat lotus flowers, which drug them and make them unwilling to leave. Eventually Percy is warned not to eat the flowers by the voice of Poseidon. He then wakes other two and escape with the pearl. They finally reached the Underworld. Persephone takes the lightning bolt and helps them to knock Hades with it and save their lives. Percy, Sally and Anna Beth use the pearls to transport themselves up to the ground. Unfortunately, Grover is left behind as they only have 3 pearls. They find themselves at the top of the Empire State Building, and are confronted there by Luke who is the real lightning thief. Percy and Luke then engage in battle, Percy eventually wins through the use of his ability to manipulate water. They all take a secret elevator to Olympus where he presents the bolt to Zeus and reveals the truth. Finally, Percy also requests that Zeus retrieve Grover from the Underworld too. Comment: I really like this book because I like reading stories about Geek mythology, and fortunately, this story is using the Geek mythology as the background so I definitely enjoy reading it. Also, I love the plot of this story, especially when the main characters, Percy, Grover and Anna Beth went to the Lotus Casino and they are drug by eating the lotus flowers there. I thought that they will stay there forever and cannot escape with the final pearl. But surprisingly, what happened next was not the same as what I thought. Percy’s father, the god Poseidon had warned them and they finally escape successfully.

Moreover, I love the ending too. It was really a surprising ending. I thought Luke was a good guy because he was kind to give Percy’s what he needed, a portable shield, flying shoes and a map to tell where the pearl was located. But I was totally wrong, I was totally shocked by the truth that Luke was the real lightning thief! I can’t even believe my eyes! If you asked me which characters I did like most, I would absolutely answered you that Percy is my favourite. The main reason is he was a brave guy. He was brave enough to sneak out from the camp and try to save his mother who was captures by Hades in the Underworld. He was even brave enough to fight with Luke. Also, when he reached Olympus and saw Zeus, besides explaining he wasn’t the lightning thief, he didn’t forget his friend Grover, who was left in the Underworld. In order to save Percy, he gave up his chance to go back to the ground, Percy begged Zeus to retrieve Grover from the Underworld. How kind he was! I would highly recommend this book to all of you, especially the one who like reading Geek mythology. You would be impressed by it is fantastic plot and the surprising ending. And I am willing to read the continuation of this series!

3C Tsoi Yan Tung (36) Title: The diary of a young girl Anne Frank Editors: Andy Hopkins and Jocelyn Potter Publisher: Penguin Readers Summary: During World War Two, Holland and the Germany were invaded. All Jewish people were frightened for their lives and the Frank family decided to hide. They hid in a warehouse which they renamed the "Secret Annex", with a couple of friends. The group living in the Secret Annex had to be extremely careful. Besides, illness, bad living condition and a lack of food had influencing them all the time. During two years of hiding, Anne kept the diary which she confided her hopes and fears. Her diary ended abruptly because they were finally discovered. Comment: Throughout the book Anne shared her innermost thoughts and dreams. She once said, "...my greatest wish is to become a journalist someday and later on a famous writer... I want to publish a book entitled Het Achterhuis after the war." I admire her character strength. She is always optimistic in the darkest situations by thinking of a bright future ahead of her. Anne changed the meaning of life and happiness while hiding in a warehouse for more than two years. She dramatically changed from a girl to a young woman who fell in love, was extremely independent, and found happiness in the dark. I think the middle of the diary is a little boring, but her story is still amazing. Especially as her deepest thoughts, feelings, hopes, and dreams are poured out. Particularly when she says that she wants to remain alive even after she's dead, I think she is a special girl. Finally, her diary ends as she was found and sent to a concentration camp yet her dream came true because she is still alive in all of us deep down today.

3C Chow Shiu Yue, Zoe (8) Name: The series of unfortunate events—A bad beginning Author: Lemony Snicket Summary: This story is about three children who face a lot of misfortunes. It begins on the Briny Beach where they meet Mr. Poe, who tells them their parents have died because of a fire. The three children have to stay with Mr. Poe. However, one day, Mr. Poe says they have a relationship with a man called Count Olaf. Therefore, the three children have to live with him. Unfortunately, Count Olaf is a bad guy who lives with them because of their heritage. Three children are given a lot of chores to do and provided one bed only for them to sleep on. In order to get the heritage, Count Olaf catches the youngest child, Sunny to threaten the eldest child, Violet to get married with him. Lastly, Violet uses her intelligence to get away from Count Olaf. Then, they get out from the control of Count Olaf and live with Mr. Poe. However, it is just the beginning as more unfortunate events will happen in the coming six stories. Reflection: Have you ever had this kind of unfortunate experience in your life? Honestly, I feel upset when reading books which are unpleasant and contain a lot of misfortunate events as they make me depressed. I used to love reading Harry Potter before because it always has a happy ending in which heroes will defeat the evils. However, it doesn’t happen in this book. In this book, the children face a lot of misfortunes which won’t happen in our real life. Before reading this book, I think every child must have their life filled with happiness, but I think I am absolutely wrong after reading this book. They three children lost their parents when they are just teenagers, yet I have a happy family and I have loving and considerate parents. I think we must treasure our life because nothing is taken for granted. We must always have the gratitude for what we have at present. This series has a very creative and interesting writing style. It is also educational and intriguing. Although the writer keeps telling us to stop reading, it makes me want to keep reading. The writer is a wordsmith as he uses a lot of new vocabulary in this book to express the characters’ feelings. In order to learn more vocabulary, I always check the words’ meaning from the dictionary. Hence, I can improve my English as well. “This is absolutely horrendous. This is completely monstrous. This is financially dreadful” is the most impressive line as it makes my heart beat faster and faster. I also admire the writer who uses different words to express the horrors. Violet, the eldest child, is my favourite character. She is calm and clever. She is capable of inventing things to save her siblings from danger. She also takes care of her siblings so I admire her most. Count Olaf, who always employs a lot of crafty tricks to get their heritage, is the only character I dislike most. He is short-tempered and demanding. He gives a lot of chores to those children and doesn’t provide enough places for them to sleep. He is such a disgusting man. Although it is not the book which I used to read, it is educational as it teaches mm to be optimistic and hopeful when we face difficulties. I highly recommend this book to teens who are not satisfied with their life because they will learn to treasure what they have after reading this book. The book is also suitable for mature and sophisticated readers. This novel is full of twists and turns which make it so thrilling. I would recommend it for readers who like these types of stories.

3C Mok Yee Man (28) Title: The 7 habits of highly effective teens Author: Sean Covey Published by: Fireside Part A: Habit one “Be proactive” was a part of the private victory (self-mastery). This habit taught us how to react with others with reactive choices and proactive choices and made us took responsibility for everything in our life. In this habit, we could cleanly know that when we answer the questions with reactive and proactive choice, the result was very different. That means this habit could improve our communication skills with others. Also, let us be responsible for others. Habit two,” Begin with the End in Mind”, was a part of the private victory too. Habit two, which talks about teens having many crossroads of life and how we could choose in these crossroads, such as college, friends, sex…etc. This was a wonderful and important habit. I am a teen, so I understand that teens have many vexed questions and we did not know how to solve them. At this moment, habit two was important. It could define our mission and goals in life. Habit three, “Put first thing first”, was the last part of the private victory. When we know how to define the mission, however there have many missions, which would be the first mission to do? This habit can help us to choose the first thing we should do most of teens think set s timetable was important for them, so they want to planning life around them, but how to set? Habit three also helped you. Habit four, “Think Win-Win”, which deals with the public victory (relationship and teamwork). When it has win-win, it could also have lost-lose. Win-win? Lose-lose? Win-win and lose-lose? Habit four teaches us how to have win-win. Sometimes, when we win friends, we lose family. There is an advertisement on television which is about, winning the fight but losing the family. Therefore, when we know how to do things with a positive attitude, habit four is the most suitable habit for us. Habit five, “Seek First to Talk, Then Pretend to Listen”, it was the second part of the public victory. As the topic said, habit five reminds us to listen to people sincerely and habit five includes five listening styles, such as spacing out, pretend listening, selective listening and also genuine listening. Genuine listening? Yes, listening could be genuine or fake. If you want to know how to have genuine listening, read this chapter. Listening to others is important. Habit five is an important habit! Habit six, “Synergize”, the main idea is to work together to achieve move. There is a wonderful sentence in this chapter, which was “Alone we can do so little: together we can do so much”. Yes, alone was fear, however, when you have some friends and family to share your happy and unhappy things. You will be happier. They could also help you, when you are vexed. Habit seven, the last one, “Sharpen the Saw”, teaches us to renew ourselves. I think habit seven is the most important and most effective. It is because it teaches us to take good care of our body, brain, heart and soul and control all the other six habits well. It encourages us to eat breakfast, start exercising, read a newspaper every day, build our humor collection, watch the sunset or sunrise…etc. All these methods are renewable to us. Therefore, I think habit seven was the most important and effective habit. Part B: “The 7 habit s of Highly Effective teens”, like the guide of teens. All of the seven habits are important to our lives. We could always use this seven habits in our lives too. The seven habits can help us improve our relationship with our friends by making proactive choices in habit one. Find a balance between school, work, friends, and everything else and define your values and what matters most to you by using habit three. Increase your self-confidence by using habit one, two and three. To win family, friends, job…etc, in our life by using the skill inhabit four. To have a good result in listening tests and good listening skills by using the skills in habit five. Be happy and get more done in less time by using the habit six. So, above all these example, we could see that, the seven habits can always be used in our daily life and help us to solve problems.

書名：《人間清月》

作者：小思

內容簡介及感想：

人間清月是小思的散文集，全本書共有四個主題，「逝去的春風」、「一屋陽光」、「寂寞的門神」及「書林擷葉」，共有六十三篇作品，而每篇都是寫不同的東西，「逝去的春風」是描述作者對師長及朋友的感情；「一屋陽光」是作者對一些細微的事的感受；「寂寞的門神」，敘述作者到處旅遊的所見所聞，「書林擷葉」就是她分享他的讀書心得。在本書裡，她以細膩的文字跟各讀者分享內心的情感，我們能看見她對人生的執著。閱畢此書，不能不佩服作者對事物的見解。

第一個部分是「逝去的春風」這篇是描述很多作者去世了的良師益友，例如

何紫，鼓勵她寫作的生物系系主任任國榮老師，侶倫等等。小思是一個非常重感情的人，她總覺得很多人都教導她不同的事，都是她的老師，所以都很欣賞他們，使她在這些人去世後寫出一篇文一篇的文章來悼念他們，並感到很可惜。這一部分令我十分感動，也有感而發，現今的年輕人普遍比較自我，認為自己已經很能幹，不尊重老師長輩，其實老師教導我們的，除了書本上的知識外，還有很多做人的道理，我們應該好好咀嚼他們的訓誨！

而第二部分就是「一屋陽光」，是抒發了她對生活細節的感想，她非常留意

身邊我們認為瑣碎的事物，並抒發一些獨特的見解，作者直接的表達出嚮往平淡的渴求，裡面有一篇文章叫「誤會」，是講述兩個司機在爭路，他們都覺得是對方錯，而且發生爭執，但是站在樓上的小思就看見其實是交通燈出錯。其實這些誤會經常在我們日常生活中發生，可是往往我們都不懂如何去處理，使誤會越來越大，最終導致無法挽回的局面，所以看畢這一篇後，我學懂了要站在別人的角度看，才看到事實的全部！

至於「寂寞的門神」這一篇就是寫作者去旅行的見聞。作者去過很多地方，

她身在他鄉，但她的文章依然流露出她的愛國精神，作者更道出英國醜陋的一面，為中國辯護、平反。有一篇文章使我使人感動的是當作者於多倫多街頭遇上一個陌生的中國人時，因為雙方的思鄉情緒互相感染而相擁而泣，表現了中國人充滿人情味的一面。但正所謂「讀萬卷書不如行萬里路」，我也很想到不同的地方見識見識，增廣見聞。

而「書林擷葉」，小思向讀者分享讀書的心得。很多年輕人都不喜歡閱讀；

甚至連家長也不鼓勵孩子讀課外書，他們只關心子女的讀書成績。但古語有雲：「書中自有黃金屋」，閱讀是心靈的享受；倘若能用心地閱讀一本好書，好像這本書，那一定獲益良多！

作者以細膩的文筆，抒發她真摯的情感。她對人生、社會和國家都存有一份執著，而這份執著正正是現代社會所缺乏的。我們青年人都應向小思學習，關懷國家，關心社會，好好裝備自己，而且我學到的不但是一些待人處世的道理，更學會留意身邊所發生的每件事，因為即使是一件微不足道的事也值得我們回味、深思及反省。總括而言，讀小思的作品，真的既親切又自然。使我獲益良多！

書名︰人間有情

作者︰杜國威

出版社︰次文化

內容︰

故事的藍圖取自於梁蘇記遮廠的一百年歷史，當中經歷三代人，故事有喜亦

有悲。故事記述蘇記遮廠的創辦人–梁蘇，於光緒十二年間巧獲一把洋傘，因而

於廣州開設遮廠並落地生根。梁蘇又以「一世保用」作招徠，為遮廠帶來不少生

意。到日本侵華期間，梁蘇決定死守廣州遮廠總店﹔大子天賜與妻子及妹妹美嬌

到澳門繼續生活﹔次子天祐到香港開設支店。而最後到一九八六年，天賜的兒

子–昌華決定結業。昌華決定結業卻不是為錢，而為一班老員工。

讀後感︰

故事中雖寫時代的發展和各不同年代的價值觀變化，但在淡淡的故事裏點出

濃濃的人情味。

遮廠的員工數量有增沒有減少，即使遇上戰爭也被好好安置。有的跟天賜到

澳門，有的跟天祐到香港。而員工順叔在家庭方面遇上困難，梁蘇亦全力支持並

加以協助，這不是人情味的好例子嗎﹖反之，同學在學習上遇到困難，我們又願

意申出援手嗎﹖

故事中的人物描寫細緻，尤其是天賜疼愛弟妹的性格最為突出。當天祐因戰

亂而被困長沙時，天賜願以身犯險，主動要求到長沙尋回天祐。雖然，最後有驚

無險，但家人有難的時候，我們又可以像天賜一樣，犠牲自己而救回家人嗎﹖

再者，故事生活化亦是令故事令具說服力及更吸引人的地方，此外還添上幾

分的親切。故事中注中人與人之間的交流，而角色間的對話就像晚飯間家人閒話

家常般溫馨。這些技巧和特色令我更欣賞這故事，亦能使我對文章寫作添加幾份

興趣。而故事的體裁為戲本，令我加深對戲本的認識之外，亦加深了我對劇本的

知識。

最後，閱過這書後，我得以下的反思。世界經過歲月的洗禮，已變得物是人非。人，變得功利亦過份注重利益。相對地，人與人的聯繫亦因此而減少。現代人注重金錢，生活上往往只注重工作､金錢，莫說人情味，又有幾多人能像故事的主角般注重家庭，體諒､愛護身體人呢﹖世事無常，下一刻鐘或會失去所擁有的東西，不如效法故事中的主角，多與身邊人溝通､聯繫，或可能會減少後悔的機會。

書名:白話聊齋誌異

原著:蒲松齡

介紹：

作者蒲松齡出生於書香世家，他的仕途十分坎坷。他厭惡官場的黑暗，所以

決定放棄與其他官員同流合污的機會。他也很喜愛搜集神怪事情，最後用一生的

精力傾注在這本。

感想：

書中的故事取材於日常生活的片段，容易引起讀者的共鳴。而故事情節的情

節峰迴路轉，往往令人有意想不到的結果。最特別的故事中的妖精鬼怪都有人類

的情感,有壞的一面，亦有善良。如果將這本書細味一次，你更會發現毎一個故

事都蕴藏著不少道理，叫人反思人們的行為,並帶出世界上最可怕的並不是鬼怪,

而是一個猜忌別人的心。

其中最為令我感動的故事有兩個。第一個就是「席方平」這個故事。故事講

述席方平替父親到陰間伸冤,但在陰間的官員都受了賄賂,對他就施以酷刑,藉著

精彩的故事,反映人世間的事,充分暴露出舊社會的面貌。另一個故事相信大家都

聽過,就是「聶小倩」這個故事,小倩對男主角那份不離不棄,以真心去愛人,實令人

感動。她不受封建思想所束縛,表現出對愛情的忠誠及堅貞。我想這亦是作者對

愛情的憧憬。

而這本亦常被改編成劇集,電影和劇曲等。可見這書的吸引力。

最後,我希望大家到圖書館借閱這本膾炙人口的書。

3D Andrea Hung (15) Title: Holes Summary:

When ever Stanley Yelant’s did he would blame his no-good-dirty-rotten-pig-stealing-great- great-grandfather. His family history is nothing but bad luck.

That day, he walked the way back home with a pair of stolen sneakers fell out from the sky and his father was doing an experiment for recycling old sneakers, so he wanted to take back home. But then, the police caught him and accused him of stealing the sneakers. Because of his bad luck, he was sent to Camp Green Lake, a place where they say is to train bad boys to good. There, they had to dig a hole a day, five feet deep and five feet wide.

Every day, the other boys needed to show something they found to the Warden. Then Stanley found out the truth, the Camp wasn’t to train bad boys, the truth was that the Warden was looking for a treasure that she was finding when she is still a kid. Stanley and his new friend, Zero, got first time lucky, and found the treasure that their family would never blame their great-great-grandfather again. Comments: This story is absolutely interesting, and will keep the reader to read until the end. It is full of exciting adventures, one following each after another.

My favorite character in this story is Stanley Yelnat’s. He is the main character also a boy with a great adventuring heart. He is not afraid of suffering. And also he is brave that he could climb up a rock hill with no any strings or handle to keep you safe. He loves to think and find out; like he wouldn’t stop finding the history about his no-good-dirty-rotten -pig-stealing-great- great-grandfather who was the one leading every son of him to have bad luck and every time the bad luck is them.

Stanley won’t give up until he reaches the target. This is what I needed to learn in my study. He is kind but always bullies by someone who even smaller than him! I think he is quite stupid too because when he is taking a shuttle bus to Camp Green Lake, his think he is going to a happy camp, like what he always wanted to go for.

Finally, I think this is a excellent book to read and many vocabularies to know, also is a story that you can’t forget it easily. So I think it is good to share with you all.

3D Cheryl Lee Yin Wing Titls: Mummies and Pyramids Written by: Will Osborne and Mary Pope Osborne Illustrator: Sal Murdocca Publisher: A Stepping Stone Book Summary: What do you know of Egypt? How did people in the past build the pyramids? Why did people make mummies? Firstly, Egypt was a place where a great civilization begins. It was all done by the Nile River. The Nile River is the longest river in the world and people use the water of the Nile for drinking, bathing, farming and fish in it. Egyptian believed in the Next Life. The Next Life was the place where people went after they died. They believed that every person was made up with 3 parts. The first part was the body, the second part was the Ka. The Ka was the person’s life force which was what made the person alive. The third part was the Ba. It was what made the person different from anyone else. They believed that when a person died, the Ka and Ba would leave the body. The body was home for them, so they made the mummies to keep the body from being destroyed. The first pyramid was created by an Egyptian architect and priest who was named Imhotep. As King Zoser wanted the most wonderful burial place and Impotep then started to build the pyramid for him. Building a pyramid took thousands of workers and those stones weighed over 4,000 pounds! Comment: After I have read this book, I felt like just came back from the Ancient Egypt. I got a wonderful trip in this book. I am interested in the old Egypt with the pyramids and the mummies, so I chose this book. It is not boring but interesting with lovely and beautiful pictures or photos. Since I have learnt about Ancient Egypt in the History lessons in Form one, I found that I am interested in it. But, the book did not tell much about the mummies and pyramids. This book introduces and describes them in a very detailed way. I am glad to read it.

I learned the tradition of Egyptian and how to make a mummy….. They are all from this book and from the research of Will Osborne and Mary Pope Osborne. I really like the part which is about mummies and how to make a mummy. It is because I think it is a quite mysterious topic. It is a long chapter which the writer list out all the steps minutely with all the materials and the causes. This has answered all of my questions which I want to know before I read the book. Although the title of the book is named “Mummies and Pyramids”, it is not only telling you about the mummies and pyramids. It does tell you the history, the religion and the famous thing of Egypt. Read it, if you want to know more about Egypt. Go to the Ancient Egypt by reading this book!

3D Wong Hiu Man (37) Title: Mother’s Day Author: Monica Hughes Publisher: Heinemann Library Summary: This book is about Mother’s Day. Mother’s Day is a special time to think about and say “thank you” to mothers everywhere. At one time, the Mother’s Day was also called the “Mothering Sunday”. It is more popular to call Mother’s Day. Mothers can take a rest from their normal work on that day. The first Mother’s Day took place in ancient Greece and ancient Rome. There was a spring festival to celebrate mothers in ancient Greece. It was in honour of the goddess Rhea, the mother of all gods. There was a festival of Hilaria in ancient Rome. It was in honour of the goddess Cybele, the mother of all gods there. Besides, there was a Mothering Sunday. It was celebrated for the mother of Jesus, Virgin Mary in Britain. In the Second World War, the Mothering Sunday changed to Mother’s Day because the American soldiers spread their tradition. The Mother’s Day in USA was started by Anna Jarvis. On Mother’s day, the national flag would be displayed on government buildings and at people’s homes as “a public expression of their love and reverence for the mothers of American”. On that day, mothers would be given many presents like flowers, mothering cake and Mother’s Day cards. Different flowers represent different meanings. Reflection: I think Mother’s Day is very good and meaningful. This festival can provide a chance for the children to thank their mothers. Also, mothers can take a rest from their normal work on that day. Furthermore, this festival can make the relationship between the mothers and children much more better. Therefore, I love this festival. Actually, Mother’s Day is held on a different day in some other countries. For example, the Mother’s Day of USA and Canada is celebrated on the second Sunday in May. Besides, The Mother’s Day of France is celebrated on the last Sunday in May. It is treated mother like a family birthday. Everyone in the family gathers for a special meal. Also, The Mother’s Day of Spain and Portugal is celebrated on 8 December. It is closely linked to the church, especially to Mary, the mother of Jesus. Therefore, there are different customs in different places for Mother’s Day. I think the different customs of Mother’s Day are very interesting. On Mother’s Day, mothers are given different presents by their children. There are many popular presents for mothers on that day like chocolates, flowers, mothering cakes and Mother’s Day cards. Actually, different flowers represent different meanings. People must wear suitable flowers carefully, otherwise it will be so embarrassed. For example, people like Anna Jarvis, who were remembering a mother who had died, wore white carnations. People whose mothers were alive wore red carnations. Mothers that had a child who had died wore yellow carnations. Actually, I think what presents for mothers are not important. The most important is that people thank their mothers wholeheartedly. Actually, I knew that not everybody can live with their real mother. Many people live with adopted mother, foster mother or stepmother. Actually, I think if people can live with their real mother is not important. The most important is that people can live with their mother harmoniously. Actually, sometimes I will think about the children who don’t have mother. I think they are so pitful. I think they will be so sad on Mother’s Day. I think people who have mother’s care and love is so happy. Lastly, I hope everyone can be happy on Mother’s Day. Also, I hope people can treasure their mothers. It is because mother is so important for us.

乙武洋匡 – 五體不滿足

這本書的作者乙武洋匡一出生就被醫生判定為原因不明的「先天性四肢切

斷」,即是一出生就沒有手和腳。這本書是他的自傳, 記述他由出生到上大學的經

過。

當我看到這本書的時候,就會想:「一個人天生沒有手腳, 不會怪天, 怪父母,

怪醫生嗎?」但我看完這本書後, 我才知道原來一個天生有缺陷的人都可以生活

得那麼樂觀,那麼快樂。

許多父母都望子成龍, 希望他們將來賺很多錢, 有安定的生活。但一個失去

手腳的人, 他們父母的心情一定很難受。就連醫生都不想他母親擔心, 用很多藉

口來不讓他母親來看他,怕她接受不到。但當她見到作者的時候, 她不是沮喪, 不

是嫌棄, 而是喜悅。作者的父母都沒有嫌棄他, 反鼓勵他像正常人一樣生活。我

想是因為他受到父母的影響, 作者才會這樣樂觀。另外,我覺得他的朋友亦給予他

很大的支持。他的朋友不介意他的缺陷, 仍然樂意和他做朋友,令他在校園生活中

過得很快樂。

我們每個人都很容易為很多瑣碎的事而感到十分憤怒,例如因為學業上的問

題和交友不順利等的小事而生氣,甚至埋怨上天,覺得自己很不幸。但相反作者卻

十分樂觀,還將這份性格感染給身邊的朋友、親人、老師,甚至寫書感染給讀者。

其中,作者在最後引用了海倫凱勒的一句話,令我印象深刻。這句話是「殘障固然

不便,但絕非不幸」。令我覺得一個殘障的人都可以克服難關,像正常人一樣生活,

甚至升上大學。相比起來, 我們應該感到慚愧,經常為了小事而口中常帶着「放棄」

二字。

我們擁有健全的身軀,是應該覺得滿足,但卻不滿現狀。但相反作者乙武洋匡

卻用上比人多十倍的努力來讀書, 堅強的生活下去。難道要我們像他一樣,失去了

四肢才懂得努力? 所以我們就算四肢健全, 都要學習作者的精神, 不要輕易放

棄。

我很希望將此書介紹給其他人,將乙武洋匡這份堅毅的精神感染給每一個

人。

沈教授以散敘的記敘方法，將一段段在醫院發生的事記述出來，突出沙士的

破壞不能磨滅人間的情懷。一些主人翁的真情說話，令我感受到災難和病苦，可

以令人反思，重整自己的價值觀。最令我感動的是那班不怕感染病毒，以真誠的

In the summer, many insects fly everywhere, little bunny likes to listen to the insects buzzing and humming. The book talks about autumn and winter too.

Comment: “I am a bunny” is just a little story in this book. This book has 87 wonderful stories for little boys and little girls. Maybe we have academic pressure, so we ignore this moving in circles seasons. If you looking at these four seasons carefully, you will discover many little things in the four seasons. In spring, you will discover there are many flowers opening beside you when you are getting your packet money. In summer, you will discover there are many insects dancing when you are doing the summer holiday assignment. In autumn, you will discover many falling leaves on the way which you back home. When it is very cold, it is winter. Many people think everything in each seasons is inevitable, so they will ignore them. But if the things we think that is inevitable have gone, what will you think? Will you feel pity because you didn’t enjoy looking them? If yes, look every thing in this world carefully. Don’t miss any thing that you want to look at.

3D Leung Pui Yan, Yannes (23) Title: Matilda Author: Roald Dahl Publisher: Puffin Summary : This book is about a girl , Matilda .Matilda is a very shy and quiet girl .Although she is shy and quite but she is a exceptional girl , When Miss Honey , Matilda’s teacher tell Matilda’s parent that Matilda is a talented girl , Matilda’s parent did not believe Miss Honey .

At last, Matilda’s father decides to move the whole family to Spain because of the law catches up with Matilda's father, Matilda asks them to let her remain with Miss Honey. They agree, as it is less of a brother, and drive away forever. Feeling: I think this is really an interesting story. It is because the spots sometimes will make people laugh. The theme of this book is friendship. The main character, Matilda was my favorite character in this book. I think she often felt upset when she is with her family because her family members seldom trust her. Also, I admire Matilda is not afraid of the nasty adults .When the nasty adults do bad things to her, she will punish them in her clever way .Matilda won't punish the nasty adults with action instead of language. For example, she puts a lot of glue into her father’s hat so that when her father wear the hat , he cannot take off the hat .The book has a good and happy ending and I like the ending very much. It is because the ending is really wonderful that Matilda could live with her favorite’s teacher, Miss Honey who is her favorite friend and teacher and the one who love Matilda most. This story also teaches us never give up which is an important attitude in our life. With this attitude, we can do things more success. After reading this book, I am sure that this attitude is really important to us.

書名: 會考 0 分與神奇小子作者: 呂宇俊

如果我們遇到失敗,會繼續努力,還是放棄？我今天要介紹的書是會考 0 分與

神奇小子。作者是呂宇俊。這本書的內容是作者的經歷。作者呂宇俊出身在單親

家庭。他的爸爸染上了毒癮,他的媽媽在他兩歲半的時候忍受不住自己吸毒的丈夫而離開這個家。只剩下婆婆照顧他。作者在小學時因為追不上學習進度而作

弊。之後他成為基督徒,但在中二加入黑社會,離棄上帝。他在中五會考中考獲 0分。最後浪子回頭,經過多位良師的幫助,在第二次會考獲得十九分。並以一級榮譽生在大學畢業,並考獲神學碩士學位。最後更原諒了他吸毒的爸爸。

當我看完這本書之後,我知道原來作者就是那位神奇小子。作者以順序的手

法紀錄了他的前半生,並以第一人稱的手法來記述。從這本書,我明白到甚麼事都可以靠我們來改變。正如作者出身破碎的家庭,曾經誤入歧途,最後也能醒悟,重拾自己的目標,成為一位老師。

這本書最有趣的地方就是有作者的成功方程式和備戰會考十大攻略。方程式

就是目標明確＋讓全世界知道＋堅持＋方法等於成功。我覺得這條方程式很值得

我們去參考。我最欣賞的人就是作者的婆婆。因為她要忍受自己經常喝酒的丈夫,吸毒的兒子和頑劣的作者。她要不斷付出自己的努力,而且要代替作者母親角色。她的確是很忙碌和辛苦。我還感受到愛的偉大。當中包括婆婆的愛。婆婆沒

有因為作者的頑劣而離棄他。我很慶幸作者還有這位親人。朋友的愛,在呂宇俊跌倒的時候,幫助他站起來。令他有重新開始的勇氣。我亦很欣賞他的毅力和堅持,有這份精神,他才能渡過難關,邁向成功。我最深刻向地方就是最後作者也原諒了他的爸爸。我們要學懂寬恕別人,並且要珍惜親情。

其實人生本來就是曲折。我們不可以因為先決的條件而束縛了自己,怨天尤人。作者頑劣的前半生,可能正是一些年青人的影子。他們如果要改變自己,就要靠自己的決心和其他人的幫助。最後,我們要好好反省自己,找出正確的人生目標。這是一本很勵志的書籍,很值得我們看,我們可以從中獲益良多。
