Nanjing has a long history over 2,460 years. It has mountains, rivers, lakes, old walls and forests. There are many interesting places to visit. For example, if you want to have a look at the whole city, you can go to the Yuejiang Tower. If you want to know the history of Nanjing, you can go to the Ming tomb, the Zhonghua Gate, the Rain Flower Terrace and so on. If you want to watch maple leaves(枫叶) in autumn, please go to the Qixia Mountain. You will enjoy the beautyof Nanjing if you visit Xuanwu Lake.

You love reading, and you're dying to get your hands on a book. With the right knowledge,

it’s easy to choose a good book！

Go to the library first. Answer these questions. What writers do you like? What are your interests? See if the library has computers. If it does, you can use it to find a certain book by a certain writer, or keywords of your interests. If you like a certain book, search the book up and read its summary(概要).That will help you decide if the book is right for you.

Search your house next. Often good books are quietly collecting dust(灰尘) in your own house. Maybe you forget about one. Probably, you will find some books that you can read, and they won’t even cost you any money.

Then, ask someone to recommend a good book. You can ask your older brothers or sisters, your mom, your dad, your best friend, or even your English teacher. They have something in common with you and can often make excellent book recommendations. You should ask people that like the same type of books, so that you can get books that match your need.

Join a book club , please. It helps you know who else likes the same books as you, and you can read books that other members have read and have a good discussion about them.

Finally, read the first part of each book. If that holds your attention(注意力) , read a few more pages. If it still holds your attention, then it’s probably a book for you. If you have many books, this can take much time to choose from them. Keep doing this until you have a few good books.
