These days, I am being immersed in a book, My Life, made by Bill Clinton. Every night I spend more than one hour on reading these books instead of watching movies.

 

I place a very high value on Bill Clinton who definitely did a great job when being a head of the states. His book ,My Life, traces the root of how to became a predominant governor without family prestige. He was born in a ordinary family. His father was dead in a traffic incidence before he was born. When he was a children, his step-father was sent to prison duo to drinking and assaulting his mother. But Clinton still had an affection for his step-father, who had a bad healthy and eventually died when Bill Clinton studied in college. Thereafter, Bill dedicated in studying and running for president, as well as exhibited his political genius to everyone.

 

To some extent, his success, I think, is contributed to education from his mother, who was a doctor and did a competent job. On the other hand, when being a college student, Bill Clinton ever served for a senator who affect Clinton’s thinking, ranging from anti-war and economic development. In addition, he was recommend to enter into Oxford and gain the scholarship.

 

I have read a half of this book, and I’ll continue to write my ideas about his life.

Great job! Writing about what you're reading is also a great way to improve your writing and solidify what you've learned.

Once you've finished the book, I'd recommend listening to the abridged version of the audio book, which is read by Bill Clinton himself.  回复  更多评论

hi, your friend John is a warmhearted man. May I listen that audio book also?

By the way, I will go to Xianmen for a business trip the day after tomorrow, so I'm not sure if I can see your blogs. However hope you insist to do your exercise. I'm interested in Clinton's biography.   回复  更多评论

John is my teacher, also a good friend. you can talk with him in his bloger.

I haven't gotten the audio book, and don't know how and where to get it.

Moreover, I have not been to Xiamen, but I hope I could. Xiamen University is the one of most beautiful colleges which I want to visit during my lifetime.

At last, I believe you could complete your duty readily, and have a good time in that charming city.  回复  更多评论

You can download it at audible.com, but you need to have a credit card.

I imagine, though, that there are other places to download it as well.  回复  更多评论
