My first book in English: The fault in our stars Last year I read my first book in English! The fault in our stars by John Green. I was so excited about it! But also, I was afraid and a little nervous because I never read a complete book in English. All the times that I tried before I always give up after a few days. This time I just read every day, sometimes one page and sometimes one entire chapter. The book is about two teenagers that have cancer and they follow in love. I was understanding the dialogs and some medical words, and this was amazing! I was not just understanding but also I was feeling different emotions reading the story. After finish the book I watched the movie. The two main actors are very talented. I could identify the scenes that have in the book, and remember the dialogs extract from the book (when they are the same or with differences). That makes me feel more confident with my English. Now I will try another John Green's book: Paper Town. I tried to read this one another time, but I didn't like the characters, but I will try again! Give me luck!
