I tried to read the English books or functions to enhance my English skill, such as Harry Porter Vol. 1 and Falling Leaf (talking about the Chinese lady from a rich family and her life from Shanghai to US, is a real case) but find more nouns that I can't understand. Some of them will be guessed the meaning, some of them will be found from dictionary. Later on, I give up to read.
So I admire all of you can read more and more English books.
Adeline Yen Mah's childhood in China during the civil war was a time of fear, isolation and humiliation. The cause of this was not political upheaval but systematic emotional and physical abuse by her step-mother and siblings, and rejection by her father. Falling Leaves is the story of a 'Fifth Younger Daughter' and her determination to survive the pain of a lonely childhood.
She has another book, is 'Chinese Cinderella', is talking about her lonely childhood. I like this book because the words are simple. The target is for children readers. I want to make use of this book to learn more English. It's simple and not so long than 'Falling Leaves'.
