Novel project

'Water for elephant' is the firt book that i finished in English. In last 2 weeks, i read it every night, and found it was interesting. Also, we wrote the book review and did the oral presentation.
In order to wrote the book review, i review the book once time. Mean while, I started realizing the most inportant things in the book and found the theme in the book- love and independence. To be honest, firt i read the book, i couldn't understand and i thought it is boring. after i finished some chapters i started loving it. With the book review, it let me know how to evaluate a book.
For the oral presentation, it is imprtant, we should work with our group member, we had to summarize together, then we divided in to 4 part, made the notes and organized together. In my part was summary of the story, it is not easy because i had to tell all the story in only 3-4 mins. Moreover, I have to improve myself.
In the end, we finished the novel project.

vedio summary

This vedio is a 2 hours long vedio, then cut it to 3 mins. A high school teenager ask the speaker a question which is 'what lead to success?'
The speaker said he couldn't give the answer, but he gave 8 points that link to success. First is passion,it means only love can make you success. Second is work, everyone need hard work, noyhing come easily. Third is good, you should practise and practise. Fourth is focus, meet everything you should focus it. Fifth is push, push and push, push yourself then you can succcess. Sixth is serve, you should serve other something of value. Seventh is idea, you need listen first, then observe, next to be curious and ask question. finally, is solve the problem and make connection. The last one is persist.
In my opinion, these 8 points are all very useful, especially in our live, when we feel shame we have to push ourselves don't be shame. This 3 mins vedio give me a lot of hints about success. For example, when i just came to here, i speak a little, coz i know my speaking is not very good, then my friends force me to speak,finally i have to push myself. Now, iam better than before.
