to the store to get some flour(面粉) ” But they don’t want to do it. So she takes the wheat to the
store and brings the flour home.
After she gets home, she says,“ Who will make some bread with the flour ”They all say they

Starting a book club is easy—all you need is to love reading. Here's how to get off to a
flying start.
When you set up your book club, the first thing is to get members for your club. They could
be friends, family, or those you know through various activities, but they should all love to read.
A small group of seven to ten people is usually an ideal size for a book club. Too many can make
it difficult to make discussions.
Once you have a group, agree on how often you want to meet—usually clubs meet monthly.
Pick a regular(定期的；规律的) date and stick with it. That way, members can easily plan for it.
Send out e-mails a week before the meeting to give people a written reminder. Set the length of
meeting time. An hour is a good start. Two hours usually does the trick.
Then, you need a good place. Libraries, parks and restaurants are all good meeting places.
For many clubs, home is the best place as it's quiet. And noisy public(公共的) places can make
talking less relaxing and comfortable. If members bring a plate of food or a bottle of drink, it can
help start conversations.
Please don't forget the most important thing—the book! Think about the books your club
will enjoy. Fiction Non-fiction Your club can choose books in different ways. You can take
turns to recommend books. Let everyone vote on what books to read. Anyway, make sure to keep
it light and fun.
After all this has been decided, your book club is ready. Now, it's time to hold the first
meeting. Enjoy your reading.
