Thành Nguyễn, November 18
My favorite book is Yellow Flowers on the Green Grass [Tôi thấy hoa vàng trên xanh]. It's an interesting novel. The author of the book is Nguyen Nhat Anh. The book is about Thieu and the people around him. I like the book because it shows us many beautiful things in Thieu's village. It is a peaceful village with green grass, trees, wind, and yellow flowers. Some parts of the story are very sad. I cried a lot when I thought Thieu's brother, Thong, cannot walk again. I really like this book. I think you should read it.
