In the past, we bought books from bookstores or online. Nowadays, more and more people like to buy books from book fairs. Why do we like to buy books from book fairs? There are some reasons that may explain why people like to go to the book fair. First, we can look for some books which we can’t find from book stores and have many choices for choosing different books. Second, through book fairs we get more knowledge. Third, we also can make friends who have the same interest in books. The last but the most important reason is we can buy cheaper books through book fair than from book stores.

When I go to the book fair, I read novels about love instead of reading about technology. Therefore, I have many novels about love but don’t have anyone about technology or others. If you have never been to the book fair, I suggest you should go to it someday.

Exercise 2

The battle of the sexes started with Adam and Eve, and it will probably continue forever.The opinion that men are superior to women has long been accepted in many cultures,but the feminist movement is trying to change this view.Feminists claim that boys and girls are exactly equal at birth but become unequal because of the way they are treated by society. However, feminists believe education has contributed to the gender inequality. And recent research contradicts the view that males and females are innately alike.
