Help a Child Write a Book Review
Why Use This Tip
Reviewing a favorite (or not so favorite) book helps a child’s reading comprehension. It also gives him or her the c 81 to express an opinion through writing and develop his or her writing style and voice. In order to write an effective (有效的) review which helps the reader decide whether or not to pick up a particular book, a child must include certain elements. By helping a child recognize what those elements are and how they can help him or her express opinions, you’ll provide a framework (框架) for writing
a 82 not only books but also movies, plays, and TV shows. What to Do
1. Look for some examples of book reviews. Your favorite magazine or local newspaper may be a good source; some newspapers even include reviews by middle or high school students. You can also f 83 book reviews online at the Books section of USA Today or The New York Times.
2. Read some book reviews with a child and together pick out the main elements, for example: the book’s t 84 and author (作者), a brief summary of the plot, comments on the book’s strengths and weaknesses, the reviewer’s p 85 response to the book with specific examples to support praise or criticism (批评).
3. Help the child choose a book to review. It can be a novel he or she is reading for fun or a book for homework. One way to encourage interest and have some fun with the project is to pick a book, such as a children’s picture book, a comic strip novel, or a book of photography.
4. Encourage the child to take notes while reading the book so he can r 86 to support his points.
5. Suggest that a child outline (列提纲) the book review b 87 writing, using one paragraph for each point he or she wants to make about the book.

Antarctica (南极洲) is the fifth-largest continent on Earth. It is also the coldest, windiest, driest and highest continent. It is an ice-covered place where no large plants grow, and no land animals live there.
Antarctica covers an area of more than 13.6 million square kilometres. It is nearly twice the size of Australia, or one-and-a- half times the size of the United States of America.
Antarctica does not belong to one country, and it has no government. People visit Antarctica – usually as tourists, or to do scientific research – but no one lives there all the time.
Antarctica was the last continent to be discovered. It is not certain who first saw Antarctica, but sailors began to map Antarctica’s coast from their ships in the 1800s. The first confirmed (证实)landing was in the mid-1890s.
Over the next few years, several men tried but failed to reach the South Pole, which is the Earth’s southernmost point.
Finally, a team led by Norwegian Roald Amundsen reached the South Poe in 1911. By then, countries around the world were becoming more and more interested in the frozen continent,
and soon seven nations: Argentina, Australia, Chile, France, New Zealand, Norway and the United Kingdom, had laid claim to parts of Antarctica.
As so many nations had made a claim to territory in Antarctica, it was clear that fighting might break out. Diplomats(外交官) from different countries wanted to stop a war from starting, so they began talking about a treaty for Antarctica. A treaty is a written agreement signed by two or more nations.
Several countries had already set up research stations in Antarctica where scientists could live and work. Most scientists worked during the summer months when it was not as cold as in winter. Scientists hoped a treaty would allow them to continue their work and to exchange information with scientists from other countries.
