Famous Sports

Xing Yuanzhe (Kevin)

I read the book Famous Sports. This book's writer is Cameron Fox. This book talks a lot about sports such as football, basketball, baseball, tennis, golf, and swimming etc. Also it introduces a lot of famous athletes.

Michael Jordan is my idol. He is the world's most famous basketball player. I understand he is one of the most famous players in basketball history, Michael Jeffery Jordan was born February 17, 1963 in Brooklyn, New York. His family moved to North Carolina when Michael Jordan was still small. The youngest of three children, he was considered the most lazy of the three. Although he slacked through the school, when he hit high school, things began to reverse. He began to get better results, and got more interested in three different sports: football, baseball, basketball. In his sophomore year, he was cut from a basketball team, because he was only 5 foot 9. In the summer, he continued training, and grew up to 4 inches, and so he got back in a team. In his final year of high school, was selected for the McDonald's U.S. team. When he was going to college at the University of North Carolina, it wasn't clear what kind of person he would become, but he helped lead his team to win the NCAA championship in 1982. Then he dropped out to enter NBA draft. In 1984, he was taken on by the Chicago Bulls.From then on, he became a star.

I like this book. I think the book was just right for me. I think this book is very good as it let me gain a lot of knowledge. This book is centered on the promotion of sports.

Aladdin and the Lamp

Jaye Feng

I read the book Aladdin and the Lamp. I liked this story, so I want to introduce it to my fellow students .

Aladdin does not have a father. One day a magician, who said he was his uncle, took Aladdin to a cave. He wanted to use Aladdin to get a magic lamp. Aladdin looked in the cave and saw that inside was glittering wealth! By now he discovered he was in danger. The cave was blocked up by the magician. Pitifully, Aladdin rubbed the lamp, and in front of him he was presented with a kind of vast white thing. It seemed a huge monster, but actually it was the god of the lamp, a genie. The genie helped Aladdin, enabling him to have a castle and a princess. I like the genie, because he gladly helps people.

This story's English level is easy. I like it.

She runs after it into a rabbit hole and finds herself in another world. This world has many strange animals and has a very brutal red queen. The queen likes to cut off someone’s head. Animals really fear her and live very unhappily. But the animals were very friendly to Alice and help her to go home.

Michael Jordan is a basketball player who's famous. He played for thirteen years for the Chicago Bulls. Every body knows his name, they also know his face and his number was 23. Where did his number come from? It's from 15 times 1 and a half. He is a tall man, strong and a good student and basketball player. A lot of people love basketball but Michael Jordan lives basketball. Every game is a important game for him and there is the question where did he come from? How did he win six NBA championships? The best basketball teams in the US play in the NBA. In addition, he can fly! When did he start to fly?

Early Days Michael's story starts on February 17 in 1963 in Brooklyn , New York. His family moved to Wilmington, North Carolina later in 1963. Michael is the son of Deloris and James Jordan. He is a happy man from a happy home with a lot of love. His best friend is his brother. However, Michael says, “We played basketball games everyday. Even on rainy days," he says "No problem We played basketball." A lot of campuses wanted him. Suddenly, he liked the University of North Carolina (UNC). In his first year at university he met Dean Smith. He taught him lots of things. The main thing that Dean Smith says is "All players are important." He won a game with 61,000 around him.

The NBA, 1984-93 Jordan hears his name. The Chicago Bulls want him. The bad thing is the Bulls weren't a good team in 1984. They won only twenty-seven of eighty-two games. But they gave Michael $6,000,000 for seven years. The Bulls always says to the player "You play for us now. No vacations, this is your job." Nevertheless, he kept working hard on basketball and became a good player, and has also won many games. So it became known that "He could be a big star." Later on He married Juanita and they have 2 sons and a daughter.

Now he has a lot of money from his life in basketball. IN 2000, he bought an NBA team. They aren't a good team. Michael Jordan isn't a player this time. Is Michael Jordan going to fly ?

I think this book is the best book for people who want to learn about a famous player and love to know about basketball. This book is taught me how to be a good basketball player and a good son. Every sport is a good sport to play if you love to play and focus on the sport like Michael Jordan does.

I rate this book as good because I like this story and it isn't too long. The English level is easy. I would like to introduce it to my fellow students.
