示例答案

I would like to talk about a very useful book I read called “The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People” by Stephen Covey. I read this book about two years ago during my college holidays, when I wanted to improve my personal habits and time management skills.

What type of book it is?

It is a self-help and motivational book. Unlike novels or stories, it gives practical advice on how to manage your life, work, and relationships in a more effective way.

What it is about?

The book talks about seven key habits that successful people usually follow. For example, one habit is to be proactive instead of just reacting to situations. Another habit is to prioritize important things first, which helps in managing time better.

There are also habits about thinking positively, working in teams, and constantly improving yourself. The language of the book is very simple, and it also includes real-life examples, which made it easy for me to understand.

Why I found it useful?

I found this book extremely useful because it taught me how to organize my daily routine and focus on my goals. Before reading it, I used to waste a lot of time on unimportant activities, but after reading, I started planning my day in advance.

It also gave me confidence to take responsibility for my actions instead of blaming circumstances. Even today, I try to follow some of the lessons from this book in my studies and personal life.

Conclusion

So, this is the book I read and found really useful. I believe it not only helped me during my college days but also continues to guide me in my everyday life.

I don’t think so. E-books are convenient and cheaper, but paper books have their own charm. Many people still prefer holding a physical book, highlighting points, or even collecting them. So, while e-books will grow in popularity, paper books will not completely disappear.

Some people like to collect books. Why do you think they do this?
