1.My Favourite Books Jo Usmar is a writer for Cosmopolitan and co-author of the This Book Will series(系列)of lifestyle books.Here she picks her top reads.
Matilda
Roald Dahl
I once wrote a paper on the influence of fairy tales on Roald Dahl's writing and it gave me a new appreciation for his strange and delightful words.Matilda's battles with her cruel parents and the bossy headmistress,Miss Trunchbull,are equally funny and frightening,but they're also aspirational.
After Dark
Haruki Murakami
It's about two sisters — Eri,a model who either won't or can't stop sleeping,and Mari,a young student.In trying to connect to her sister,Mari starts changing her life and discovers a world of diverse "night people" who are hiding secrets.
Gone Girl
Gillian Flynn
There was a bit of me that didn't want to love this when everyone else on the planet did,but the horror story is brilliant.There's tension and anxiety from the beginning as Nick and Amy battle for your trust.It's a real whodunit and the frustration when you realise what's going on is horribly enjoyable.
The Stand
Stephen King

The Ex-footballerMy parents don't see football as a profession.They think I should be an engineer,a doctor or an economist.It took me a good while to eventually persuade them to buy me a new football shirt for the school matches.My old shirt had worn out and made me depressed every time I put it on.But now I had a brand new shirt!I decided to wear it today for the first time during a kick-about in our street.But as soon as we had been playing for ten minutes,the shirt sleeve(袖子)was torn when I made a turn.
I didn't pay much attention to it at first.I thought I would sew it back together after the match.But then I noticed that the whole sleeve was torn.Only a professional could mend it now.I couldn't tell my mum and dad that my new football shirt was ruined.I needed a tailor.As I walked home,feeling totally at a loss what to do,I was surprised to suddenly come across a shop sign-"All kinds of repairs and services!"
I went inside immediately.Looking around the shop,I saw an iron(熨斗),broken toys and a broken chair.I guessed this was the wrong place and stood there,mind blank.At that time,a man with white hair came over warmly," welcome!Anything needs repairing?"
I showed him the shirt and expressed my request with great care,putting my fingers through the tear in the sleeve.To my disappointment,he told me that since he opened this shop,he had repaired many things except a football shirt.But he admitted he had been waiting so long to repair a football shirt.
What he said made me hesitate.Should I count on such a green hand?I was worried he would make it worse.After all,it was new,and my parents wouldn't buy me a new one.
注意:
(1)續(xù)寫(xiě)詞數(shù)應(yīng)為150左右;
