So. Well, um, this is really hilarious question, because I have read only one book in my entire life, and this book is called diary of a wimpy kid. And it’s like, when I was six or seven, um, years old, I first time read it in Mongolian, which is my native language. And what I was really interested about this book is that the main character is called Gre Kele, and he really likes a girl. And the girl’s name is holiess. And it’s like this entire movie, this entire book is about his life. For example, how he talked to his brother, uh, and how he tries to go out with his crush and something about it. And, well, it has a great influence on me because the reason is, like, when I was in that age, I was really scared to tell my crush that I loved her. But, uh, uh, after I read this book, um, I got a huge belief in myself. And then I just became, uh, brave, and I told her that I liked her, uh, which is now we’re dating like five or six years sobe. Maybe some people think that it is not a big influence on me, but for me dating my dream girl, it was just a dream. So, like, if I hadn’t read this book, I wouldn’t have date my dream girl, which is my dream won’t come true. So, um, and also, uh, it gave me some behavior, like how Shirai behave myself in front of other people and something like that.

So, this is really a hilarious question because I have read only one book in my entire life, and this book is called Diary of a Wimpy Kid. When I was six or seven years old, I first read it in Mongolian, which is my native language. What I was really interested in about this book is that the main character is called Greg Heffley, and he really likes a girl. The girl's name is Holly. This entire book is about his life, for example, how he talks to his brother and how he tries to go out with his crush. It has a great influence on me because, at that age, I was really scared to tell my crush that I loved her. After I read this book, I gained a huge belief in myself. I became brave and told her that I liked her, and now we've been dating for five or six years. Maybe some people think that it is not a big influence on me, but for me, dating my dream girl was just a dream. If I hadn't read this book, I wouldn't have dated my dream girl, and my dream wouldn't have come true. It also taught me how to behave in front of other people and things like that.
