1. Introductory Paragraph The first sentence should state for which instructor and class the book-report is being written.The second sentence should state the title of the book and the author's name. The third sentence should tell how many pages the book has and the name of the publisher. The fourth sentence can state basic bibliographic information about the book. Bibliographic information means not only the author and title but also what company published the book, what year it was published in and any other relevant information such as the edition and if the book has been translated, simplified or abridged.

Typical reasons might be:o You like the author. o You like this type of book (i.e. mystery, western, adventure or romance, etc.). o Someone recommended the book to you. o It was on a required reading list. o You liked the cover.

Use this paragraph as your conclusion. It should summarize your overall impressions of the book and bring the report to a close. o Start with a sentence that states that you are now writing a conclusion. (For example: "My final thoughts on 'A Fine Balance' are that it is a fascinating book but I am not entirely sure if I completely understood the thematic message of the book." o Restate your reasons why you liked and/or disliked the book using different words. o Write two sentences that talk about the books good points and weak points. o Write a sentence or two about what you learned from the book. o Close with a sentence that states whether you would recommend the book to others.

宇哥让你读的是多了，文章也就写得好了，为了帮助大家提高 英语阅读 和写作能力，我整理了两篇 英语阅读 报告范文，希望能帮到大家! 雾都孤儿读书报告Review of ‘Oliver Twist’ As you have read ‘Oliver Twist’, a novel reflecting the tragic fact of the life in Britain in 18th century which has became one of the most famous works of Charles Dickens, you can really understand the worlds‘regain the nature of goodness’. Charles Dickens was born in a poor family ,having a poor background ,he wrote this novel in his twenties ,who was just with a view to reveal the ugly masks of those cruel criminals,as well as to expose the horror and violence hidden underneath the narrow and dirty streets in London. The hero of ‘Oliver Twist’ was an orphan named Oliver Twist, when he was born ,he was thrown into a world which is full of poverty and crime. He has suffered enormous pains, such as hunger, thirst, beating and abuse. While reading the tragic experiences of the little Oliver, I was shocked by his sufferings. I felt really sorry for the poor boy, but at the same time I detest the evil Fagin and the brutal Bill. To my relief, as all the happy stories do, the goodness eventually conquered devil and Oliver lived a happy life at the end. One of the plots which attracted me most is that after the theft, little Oliver was allowed to recover in the kind care of Mrs. Maylie and Rose and began a new life. He went for walks with them, or Rose read to him, and he worked hard at his lessons. He felt as if he had left behind forever the world of crime and hardship and poverty. Sometimes,in the deep and quiet nights,I keep asking myself,how can such a little boy who had already suffered oppressive affliction remain pure in body and mind? The reason is the nature of goodness. I think it is the most important information implied in the novel by Dickens-he believed that goodness could conquer every difficulty. Although I don’t think goodness is omnipotent, yet I do believe that those who are kind-hearted live more happily than those who are evil-minded. Reflect on myself,I define the nature of goodness to be one of the most necessary character for a person. Goodness is to humans what water is to fish. He who is without goodness is an utterly worthless person. On the contrary, as the famous saying goes, ‘The fragrance always stays in the hand that gives the rose’, he who is with goodness undoubtedly is a happy and useful person. People receiving his help are grateful to him and he also gets gratified from what he has done, and thus he can do good to both the people he has helped and himself. To my disappointment, nowadays some people seem to doubt the existence of the goodness in humanity. They look down on people’s honesty and kindness, thinking it foolish of people to be warm-hearted. As a result, they show no sympathy to those who are in trouble and seldom offer to help others. On the other hand, they attach importance to money and benefit. In their opinion, money is the only real object while emotions and morality are nihility. If they cannot get profit from showing their ‘kindness’, they draw back when others are faced with trouble and even hit a man when he is down. They are one of the sorts that I really detest. There are some worlds in an essay, ‘Goodness, of all virtues and dignities of the mind, is the greatest, being the character of the Deity, and without it, man is a busy, mischievous, wretched thing, no better than a kind of vermin.’. All in all,if a person without goodness ,he is destined to lose everything. Thereby, all those ‘vermin-to-be’ should learn from the book and remember to regain the nature of goodness in the bottom of theirs’hearts. 小王子读书报告Keep the Childlike Innocence I. Introduction The Little Prince first published in 1943, is a novella and the most famous work of the French aristocrat, writer, poet and pioneering aviator Antoinede Saint-Exupéry(1900–1944).The novella is both the most read and most translated book in the French language, and was voted the best book of the 20th century in France. Translated into more than 250 languages and dialects, and it has become one of the best-selling books ever published. Saint-Exupéry, a laureate of several of France's highest literary awards and areserve military pilot at the start of the Second World War, wrote and illustratedthe manuscript while exiled in the United States after the Fall of France. He hadtravelled there on a personal mission to persuade its government to quickly enter the war against Nazi Germany. In the midst of personal upheavals andfailing health he produced almost half of the writings he would be rememberedfor, including a tender tale of loneliness, friendship, love and loss, in the form ofa young prince fallen to Earth.An earlier memoir by the author recountedhisaviation experiences in the Sahara and he is thought to have drawn on those sameexperiences for use as plot elements in The Little Prince. II. A Summary of The Little Prince The Little Prince tells a story like that: A pilot crashes in the Sahara Desert.A thousand miles from any habitation, while attempting to fix his plane, he meetsa strangely dressed little boy who seems to have come from nowhere, and whodemands that he draw a sheep. "When a mystery is too overpowering, one dare not disobey," so the pilot attempts to draw a sheep. Gradually the littleprince reveals his story. He comes from a small asteroid, where he lives alone until arose grows there. But the rose is demanding, and he is confused by his feelingsabout her. Eventually he decides to leave, and journey to other planets in search ofknowledge. After meeting many confusing adults, he eventually lands on Earth,where he befriends a snake and a fox. The fox helps him to understand the rose, and the snake offers to help him return to his planet-- but at a price. From my point of view, The Little Prince is not simply a fairy tale, but aphilosophicalnovel. The author reveals the absurdity of the civilized world through the eyes of the little prince, who has a pure heart and a true world. III. My Views on The Little Prince The use of the symbols makes the story full of meanings and morevivid. Firstly, the setting is in the Desert of Sahara. As for me, desert is pure landinsome way, not yet the invasion of the modern civilization. Only in such a place,can love, responsibility and the human nature be revealed fully. Secondly, the first creature the little prince encountered was the snake. In the west, thesnake represents mystery and power. In the story, the snake is “more powerful than the finger of a king”and has the prophet for everything. The snake thought the prince was “innocent and true” while “this earth made of granite”, so finally it sent thelittle prince back to his planet. What the snake said tell the darkness and evil of the human, the little prince is not suitable to live in such a place. Thirdly,the choice of the fox is also meaningful. In people’s eyes, the fox is always filled withwisdom. In the story, the fox is just like a philosopher, giving the prince adviceand inspiring him to understand the meaning of love, the responsibilities for his rose, and the difference between “alike” and “unique”. The fox told thelittle prince his secret: “It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; whatis essential is invisible to the eye”, but “the men have forgotten this truth”. The words satires the ignorance of human beings who do not even know thetrue essence of love and friendship. Meanwhile, it reminds us that we shouldbe responsible for our love, to be true. In the story, it describes the people such as the king, the conceited man, the tippler, the businessman and so on. They represent allmanner of man in the earth with their own symbolic meanings. The story is made up of philosophical sentences, from which we can gain a good deal of enlightenment. I will take some as examples. In chapter 17,the snake told the prince “It is also lonely among men”. As for me, nowadays peopleis becoming busy and ambitious, they no longer have time to care about others, even their friends just for pursuing their own goals. We can see thealienationbetween them. It reminds me of the masterpiece Moby Dick written by Herman Melville. Because of the alienation between man and man, they can notunite together, which lead to a tragedy in the end. In chapter 10, the king said:”Youshall judge yourself that is the most difficult thing of all. It is much more difficultto judge oneself than to judge others. If you succeed in judging yourself rightly, then you are indeed a man of true wisdom”. I can not agree it more. AsPlato said:”know yourself”, which is a important principle for us to live. It is of greatimportance to know who we are, what we have done and for what. Only if we can truly know ourselves, can we make the right choice, not blind for seekingfor something meaningless. As the lamplighter said, “It is impossible for a man to be faithful and lazy at the same time.” This sentence illustrates the old saying”You can’t have your cake and eat it too”, things are always like that,admittedly, human is greedy sometimes. The Little Prince almost covers all aspects of life, including friendship, love,responsibilities, freedom and so on. It can be said as a guidance for a better life, better society. We’d better be childish in our deep heart and soul.
