My Favorite Book
【正确答案】[范文]
   
My Favorite Book

   Reading is an indispensable part of my life. When I was a child, I always begged my mother to read stories for me. Sometimes I will be affected by the protagonists as I had similar experiences. The book impressed me most was named Keep the Aspidistra Flying written by George Orwell.
   The book influences me a lot because the story touches my heart and reminds me of similar experiences. The story talks about a man who wants to be a poet and abandons many well-paid jobs to pursue his dream of a poet. I also had a dream of writer but I quitted for the sake of pressures from my parents. Although the man in the story works as a bookstore assistant with small salary and lives in a shabby apartment, he never gives up his dream. It brings me back to the last summer vacation when I lived in a cramped apartment alone trying to earn my own tuition.
   I find this book impressive as well as beneficial, as it inspires me and gives me encouragement to persist.
