Hello everybody! My name is 'Book', and I would like to introduce myself and my family.
I have a big family. For example, there are novels and textbooks. Novels can be divided into many different types, such as classic, detective and romantic ones.
Classic novels demonstrate the art of writing. They can be used as reference books in English literature lessons.
Detective novels contain interesting and exciting words to help create an exciting atmosphere and to lure readers to read on.
Romantic stories are stories about love and romance.
Textbooks are used to teach students. They contain facts and exercises.
Books are very important to people, and I am very glad to be a book and can help people.
