VII. 书面表达
The book I'd like to share with you is The Old Man and the Sea,written by an American 
writer Ernest Hemingway.This book tells about a fisherman who is lucky enough to catch a huge fish at sea
but finds it hard to take it home.On the way back,he has to fight against the fish,and the sea as 
well.What I like most about the book is that the fisherman never gives up when meeting with difficulties.I still remember the well−known sentence from the book:Man is not made for defeat.This tells us that nothing seems terrible as long as we have a strong will and a brave heart.
