Show time
Dear librarian,
I am writing to recommend two types of books that I think the library should buy.
The first type is fantasy novels. The reason why I recommend fantasy novels is that they gain popularity among students. Some examples of good fantasy novels for the library would be The Lord of the Rings series and The Hunger Games series.
The second type of books I would like to recommend is biographies. Although they are one of the least popular types of books in our library, students should be encouraged to read more of them. Good biographies such as Marie Curie: A Life will inspire students to study harder. In addition to biographies of historical figures, I believe our school library could buy some biographies of contemporary figures, like Steve Jobs.
I would be grateful if you could consider my recommendations. I am looking forward to reading more of the library’s fantasy novels and biographies soon.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
