(BOOK REPORT)

的格式

1. Introductory Paragraph

The first sentence should state for which instructor and class the book-report is being

written.

The second sentence should state the title of the book and the author's name.

The third sentence should tell how many pages the book has and the name of the

publisher.

The fourth sentence can state basic bibliographic information about the book.

Bibliographic information means not only the author and title but also what company

published the book, what year it was published in and any other relevant information

such as the edition and if the book has been translated, simplified or abridged. (see

copyright page and the back of the title page.)

The next sentence should state the reason(s) you decided to read this book. Why did

you choose this particular book? Typical reasons might be:

o You like the author.

o You like this type of book (i.e. mystery, western, adventure or romance, etc.).

o Someone recommended the book to you.

o It was on a required reading list.

o You liked the cover.

These reasons do not have to be complex. Most people choose the books they read

because they like the author or somebody recommended it to them. If you chose the

book because you like the author, then state why you like that author.

An optional sentence can be used if the cover (back cover) of the book gives you any

additional information then add a sentence with that information.

o Was the book a best seller?

o Are there X million copies in print?

o Did it win any major awards?
