The next day there was a 1. party at our school and every child in our class would be voting who looked the prettiest. I was very excited.
"Goldy, here is your dress," said my mum Mary. I was surprised to see the dress my mum had made for me. She was a popular designer and she had even made her wedding 2. herself.
Some of her dresses were 3. a lot of money. The dress was made of some golden material with a beautiful 4. collar and long wide sleeves that could 5. in the wind. I tried it on immediately. The collar was a bit 6. because it was 7. but as it could be easily 8. it didn't bother me. I looked like a princess, very 9. , and was
10. to take the dress off.
The next morning my dad Tony gave me a bronze crown to wear. When I reached the school, everyone was looking at my dress and chatting about it. Guess who won most of the votes!
I am fond of reading. I like to read books about adventures, great people and famous travellers, stories about animals and birds, fairy-tales and fables. l have read a lot of interesting books, but my favourite book is " The Adventures of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain. This well known book is popular with the children all over the world. The main character of the book is Tom Sawyer, who lived in a small town on the Mississippi River. He was a boy with a wild imagination. He liked to play games with his friends. They often dreamed of different adventures. Tom was sometimes naughty and never quiet. But his friends was sometimes naughty and never quiet. Bat his friends liked him because he was kind and brave. Beside, he was noble.
I liked Tom Sawyer very much because he was always bright and full of ideas. Tom teaches us to be noble, kind and brave. He also teaches us to be a true friend. l have learnt a lot about the life of children in America from this book.
