dropped in at pazhou plex to see the southern book exhibition which will close today.suprised at the fact that so many kinds of books are published in our country.thought the children‘s books with many pages of colorful illustrations were made very nicely.bought a copy of the chinese version of english and american short stories at a 20 per cent discount.am going to read this through in this good season for reading.
顺路到琶洲展馆看即将在今天结束的南国书香节。惊奇的是发现我们国家竟然出版了这么多种的书籍。我觉得富有多页彩*插图的儿童书籍印刷的相当精美。我买了一本打八折的《英美短篇小说》中文版。我要在这读书的好季节里将它读完。
