I have never read an English novel until I came to the University of Calgary,I very thankful my reading's teacher let me read it,what a rare chance this is for me! I enjoy it and I benefited a lot through reading.Fist of all,I knew a lot of vocabulary, for example yank,honk,bark,flash and sway and so on, I didn't seen these words before I read this novel.I think reading will increase my vocabulary. Second, my English speaking is improved through discussing every Monday, in the course of discussing, you must prepare for it adequately so that you can answer the director's questions correctly and rapidly, or you will be embarrassed and guilty. At last, Trough skimming, I have increased my interest in reading. Before, I don't like reading English novels because there are too many new words , Although I am forced to read it this time, I find that reading is not boring but interesting. So, Even though I go back to China, I will insist on reading.To the novel, do you know which chapter is the most my favorite ? My answer is,"The sixth chapter." From this chapter ,we can make a conclusion that Greg is a responsible man, Although he was poor, he still raised a lot of charity in order to build school to help Korphe's people. Also, I like the topic's meaning, “The first cup of tea you are a stranger, the second cup of tea you are a friend, the third cup of tea you are family”. It is pity for me to only skim the novel this time, I plan to read carefully again.
