Before I have started reading the book I have thought that the book isn't interesting but as I started to read I have found it very exciting. everybody told me that "The Giver" is very boring but it isn't it is nice to read and the life in the community is very different to the normal life.

Katharina,
AntwortenLöschenThe first part of your post could be a cool "blurb" of the book, as you give just enough information to awaken the interest of possible readers and at the same time you don't give too much details away staight ahead.
I am glad you liked the book in the end - even if there were other pupils of other classes saying it was boring.
Some ultimate words on language:
- always check whether you ae using words as adjectives or adverbs (-ly needed!)
- check the difference between "from" and "by"
- mind the tenses! (such as backshift of tenses in indirect speech!)
PS: I'm looking 4ward to the video!
