My favourite book
My favorite book﹣The Little Prince﹣never fails to fascinate me with its simply plot and philosophical language.It deals with a little extraterrestrial boy who related his incredible experience and living philosophy to the narrator.
Two major reasons account for my preference for the book.Firstly，I was deeply moved by the prince's attitude towards the world，which brought my inner sincerity and pure innocence back.Moreover，this book exposes me to a splendid culture of English，which laid a solid foundation for my future English learning.
