My first reading journal

This week, I found out that I had'nt read 'Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone' yet, so I decided to read it.
August 19th : I read the first chapter of it , 'The boy who lived'

August 20th : I read the second chapter of it , 'The vanishing glass'

August 21th : I read the third chatper of it , 'The letters from no one'

August 22th : I read the fourth and fifth chapter of it , 'The Keeper of the keys' and 'Diagon Alley'

August 23th : I read the sixth and seventh chapter of it, 'The Journey from Platform Nine and Three-quarters' , 'The sorting hat'Reading Profile:

I often choose a novel or a nonfiction for leisure in a month. Because of school work, I couldn't read so much so I usually choose a book to read each month. When I was in middle school, I usually read books to fall in sleep earlier. Now, I am old and I read books for knowledge and fun. In my opinon, I think reading is a good way to accumulate our knowledges and to improve imagination.

I often choose adventure and mysteries. I like these kind of books the most because it is interesting and it makes me imagine the scene easily.

In the past year, I think the most enjoyable book I had read was 'Twilight'. It was enjoyable for me because vampire was involved and I had already seen it through the movie.

The favorite author of me is 'Roald Dahl' He had established many books and the books he made were good. The story structure was interesting and it was quite humurous.

In this year, my reading goals is to read 30 books. I'm not sure if I can achieve it , but I will try my best.

One quetion that I have chose:Is there an interesting minor characther? Describe him/her and explain why they are interesting.

In my opinion, I think the most interesting minor characther is Hagrid. Hagrid is the gamekeeper of Hogwart and he is half blood giant and human. He is a very huge man and the author described his height as about 3 meter. He is the person who told Harry that he is a wizard. When he was a student in Hogwart, he was expelled because of am imputation. However, the head master forgave him and let him to work as a game keeper. He is a member of the order of the Phoenix and is helping Harry Potter to fight against Voldermort. In conclusion, the most interesting characther for me was Hagrid.
