Title of Book: HARRY POTTER

Pages in the book 341. I am now on page 181. I read 20 pages this week.

I understand about 90% of what I read

1/ Write a final summary that tells the main ideas of this book.

The whole story mentions all things happen at Hogwarts School when Harry is the second year student. The classes are always continued normally but in fact, many attacks at Hogwarts School throughout semester made people feel so bad and they did not know the reason. Till the day, students and teachers start afraid of everything and they suspected each other to think about the culprit behind the attacks. Harry, Ron and Hermione decided to find clues by creating “Polyjuice Potion” which is the potion that able to change the appearance like the person we want to. Unluckily, at that time, Harry had injury when playing Quidditch and he had to stay at hospital wing for a long time. Colin- a student at Hogwats who very like Harry, he wanted to go there to visit Harry and he was attacked (…)

2/ If someone wants to know something about my novel, I will choose details that I think it is very interesting to tell. For example, the exciting details such as Harry and Ron drove a car to go to school on chapter 5; Harry hears murmurs on chapter 7, the Writing on the wall on chapter 9, etc. The title of this book “Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets”, it makes people have to be excited to find what the secret is. I recommend everyone read this book; besides reading details, learning new vocabulary and writing skills from this book is also a good thing. J.K.Rowling was written Harry Potter in a magic world, so everyone, especially for children always feels curious to read continuously. Enjoy Harry Potter!!!
