A Chinese proverb says, "It＇s always a good thing to open a book; " in other words, reading is always beneficial.

It gives me moral strength and teaches me how to order my daily life. In a word, this book plays an important role in my life. The Bible is not simply great literature to be admired and revered; it is food for thought for everyone.

The most influential book in my life is, so far, "The Life of Fire and Iron" by a Japanese author.

In short, I can never praise the book too much for it has influenced me so greatly in the past and will, I am afraid, continue to do so in days to come.

In other words, "studying and exams" is indeed the most influential book in my life.

Thanks to this book I have come to know what is really meant by the literary spirit and what are the ingredients of great books. I would call it the most influential book in my life and would like to recommend it to all those lovers of literature.

"A man can be destroyed but not defeated." Such words are a fillip to me when I look back on my failure in the entrance examination last year. I was then so upset that I even questioned the meaning of existence. Yet the Hemigway book brings home to me the truth of the saying "Failure is the mother of success," which I have never taken seriously before. I also know that the will to struggle is what counts, not the result thereof. With the understanding that no man is perfect, I regain the confidence in my ability to study harder. I believe I can make it this year.

The story of my life by Helen Keller is the most influential book in my life. It abounds with courage, struggle and faith throughout.

I hope I can be as courageous as she.

Tonight I watched the movie for the third time. I really enjoy this film so much.

I was so moved by the words the Aunt Mary said:

You will never guess what he wants to be, the spider man.

Ever though sometimes we have to initiatively give up the thing we want most, even our dreams.

To my disappointment, nowadays some people seem to doubt the existence of the goodness in humanity. They look down on people’s honesty and kindness, thinking it foolish of people to be warm-hearted. As a result, they show no sympathy to those who are in trouble and seldom offer to help others.

On the other hand, they attach importance to money and benefit. In their opinion, money is the only real object while emotions and morality are nihility. If they cannot get profit from showing their ‘kindness’, they draw back when others are faced with trouble and even hit a man when he is down. They are one of the sorts that I really detest.

That is to say a person without goodness is destined to lose everything. Therefore, I, a kind person, want to tell those ‘vermin-to-be’ to learn from the kind Oliver and regain the nature of goodness.

For me, the nature of goodness is one of the most necessary character for a person.
