The person who likes to read a lot is my secondary school history teacher. His name is Augustus. He taught me secondary school history no matter which is Chinese history or world history for at least 5 years. I know he loves reading because last time I went to his house he invited us to go to a gathering in his house. I visited his house and his room. He got 2 cupboards full of books. What I know is he loves to read different kinds of books like psychology, political, economics or even Chinese. The Chinese study is not only reading history because he thought reading books could improve himself. Although he is already 60, he still needs to keep learning and get used with the world because the world is changing very fast. He wants to keep improving and not want to get behind. That’s why he likes to read. He always gives some of his old books for us. He gave me a history book called The War of Normandy. That’s my favorite book. Thank you for watching.

He taught me secondary school history, whether it was Chinese history or world history, for at least five years. I know he loves reading because the last time I went to his house, he invited us to a gathering there. I visited his house and his room. He has two cupboards full of books. What I know is he loves to read different kinds of books like psychology, politics, economics, and even Chinese literature. The Chinese studies are not only about reading history; he believes that reading books can improve oneself. Although he is already 60, he still wants to keep learning and adapt to the world because it is changing very fast. He wants to keep improving and does not want to fall behind. That's why he likes to read. He always gives some of his old books to us. He gave me a history book called The War of Normandy. That's my favorite book. Thank you for watching.
