Activity two: Make a book review on The old man and the sea
This novel tells the story of a struggle between an old fisherman and a huge fish.
Written by Ernest Hemingway in 1951, the novel, The Old Man and the Sea, was well received.
No matter how difficult it was , he never gave up and always tried to challenge various difficulties. It is "A man can be destroyed, but not defeated" that the story wants to tell us.

Dear Jim,
Hearing that you are interested in literature, I’m thrilled to recommend a book that has deeply moved me— The Old Man and the Sea by Ernest Hemingway.
This novel, written in 1951, tells the story of an old fisherman's struggle with a huge fish. It reveals the truth of determination and the beauty of our natural world. The novel appeals to my feelings and imagination, taking us on an adventure with Santiago, who embodies the spirit of "A man can be destroyed, but not defeated."Its themes of courage and dignity are permanent, inspiring me to challenge various difficulties, no matter how hard it is. It really deserves reading.
Looking forward to learning about your favorite book.
