Describe an exciting book that you enjoy reading.
You should say:

What kind of book it is
What it is about
And explain why you think it is exciting
I always like Harry Potter. I like the books, and I like the films. I read almost all of the novels when I was in middle school, and I loved them. It’s a famous series of books about the adventures of a young boy who goes to a school of magic to become a wizard. He, along with a few of his classmates, get involved in all sorts of adventures and end up solving mysteries. It’s a really exciting series of books to read, actually, as it combines light humour with intense and thrilling adventure, with a strong element of mystery and a little bit of horror. Harry Potter came out when I was very young, but I started to read the books when I was about 11 years old. I read them in Chinese first, but now I read them in English and I find it’s a great way to expand my vocabulary and increase my knowledge of collocations and more colloquial English language usage. I am personally very drawn to anything related to fantasy, magic and adventure, so I think the Harry Potter books are particularly exciting and they cater well for the interests and feelings of young people. I was very excited when they started to make films from the books, and I really enjoy watching those too. The older Harry gets the darker the stories become, which is something I also find very appealing and interesting. It feels as if I am growing older with him in some ways – JK Rowling has now written about 7 or 8 books in the series. I can’t quite remember how many off-hand, but there’s quite a few anyway, and I’ve read all of them as they came out.
