What’s the story
What is the best part
What’s the writer’s opinion
You can use the following questions:
I enjoy reading different kinds of books, but Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone is my favorite one. The story is written by the English writer J. K. Rowling. It’s very long but I am interested in it. The book is about the adventures of a boy called Harry and his friends. He was so brave and clever that he dared to fight against powerful enemies. His Z-shaped scar and magic stick brought me into a magical world. In fact, the fiction story is so meaningful that I can learn a lot from it. I think it's the best book I've ever read.
