Before I left in the morning to spendChristmas with my family, I stopped by to see how he was doing. It was stilltough, but he had survived the night and was sleeping.
    The following year I got Christmas Eve duty again. At 9 pmsharp, the ward clerk told me there was a couple who wanted to speak with me.When I approached them, the man introduced himself as Mr. Lee and said, “Youprobably don’t remember me, but last Christmas Eve you saved my life.

    Most book reviews start with a headingthat includes all the basic information about the book, like:
    Title.
    Author.
    Place of publication, publisher, date ofpublication.
    Number of pages.
    Like most pieces of writing, the reviewusually begins with an introduction that lets your readers know what the reviewwill say. The first paragraph usually includes the author and title again, soyour readers don’t have to look up to find this information. You should alsoinclude a very brief description of the contents of the book, the purpose oraudience for the book, and your reaction and evaluation.
    Then you move into a section ofbackground information that helps place the book in context and discussescriteria (准则）forjudging the book. Next, the review gives a summary of the main points of thebook, quoting and explaining key phrases from the author. Finally, you get tothe heart of your review – your evaluation of the book. In this section, youmight discuss some of the following issues:
    how well the book has achieved its goal
    what possibilities are suggested by thebook
    what the book has left out
    how the book compares with others on thesubject
    what specific points are not convincing
    what personal experiences you’ve hadrelated to the subject.
    It is important to use labels tocarefully distinguish your views from the author’s, so that you don’t confuseyour reader.
    Then, like other essays, you can endwith a direct comment on the book, and tie together issues raised in the reviewin a conclusion.
