You should say:
When you hadthis idea;
What kind ofbook it is;
Is it difficultor easy;
And explain whyyou want to write the book.
I want to writea fantasy and virtual novel because I especially like to read fantasy books andmy favorite fantasy books are The Lord of the Ring series. I think I read itback in high school and it was one of the most gripping, interesting,fascinating stories I've ever read. I know it's fiction and it's an imaginedworld but I think at that time that book was really meaningful to me because itgave me kind of an escape and I could be busy with this book for weeks andweeks on end.
Just at thattime I want to write a book like The Lord of The Ring. I mean, I want to writean imaginative book telling people about possibilities of how life could be orimaginative lives of people. I know it is quite difficult but I have alreadystarted to write. I described the stories of adventure and fun, how thecharacters make friends and go through hardships together. I hope one day Icould finish my novel and somebody would like it.

In my view, theutmost significance should be attached to reading the classics and academicmaterials. With the advent of TV, mobile phones and the Internet, people tendto acquire something more about entertainment, which is not helpful to developour critical thinking. Therefore, I think we should do more deep-reading.

Generallyspeaking, women like to read books of romance while men tend to read books ofacademy. Romance books can get swept off women’ s feet so that it may fulfilltheir impossible dreams. And what men can learn in the academic book can beapplied to practice.
10. Do you thinkit`s necessary to read novel before watch the same movie? Why?
I think it isunnecessary to read the novel before watch the same movie because the plots andthe whole story are similar. However, if you want to know more about thebackground before watching, you’d better read the novel in advance.
11. Sometimes peopleremake novel into movie but viewers are not satisfied about that, do you agreewith that? And why people do that?
I agree withthat. As every reader has their own feeling and understanding of the samenovel, they usually have different expectations of the rearranged movie. And ifthe movie fails to meet expectations of some viewers, there will be negativecomments.
