There are a lot of books that I can think of, but at the top of my head, I would like to talk about the book that had a big impression on me. It’s titled Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, part one of the seven parts of the Harry Potter story, a masterpiece by English author J.K. Rowling. I really like this book, so I decided to read the English version instead of the translated version. I first encountered this book when I was in primary school; one of my friends recommended it to me. After trying to read some pages, I was immediately attracted to this book and became a fan from there. The story is about a young boy, Harry Potter, who learns on his birthday that his parents were wizards and that he has magical powers. He then goes to Hogwarts, a school for wizards, where he meets lots of new friends. Together, they try to uncover the mystery of his parents' death. When I read this book, it helped me take up reading and improved my English. This story shows the value of friendship and courage.
