Published in 1877, Black Beauty is one of the literature’s best-loved classics and is the only book Anna Sewell ever wrote.

In the book, Black Beauty, a horse, tells the story of his life in his own words. It is a story of how he was treated with kindness and love when he was young, but now his treatment changed at the hands of different owners. Black Beauty spent his young life with his mother on Farmer Grey’s farm. Farmer Grey is a good, kind man and the horses had a good life. His mother told him to be good and work hard. Black Beauty tried to follow this advice all his life.

First, he goes to live with Mr. Gordon and his family, who treat their horses well. He is cared for by a kind groom (马夫) called John, who never uses a whip (鞭子). Black Beauty saves Mrs. Gordon’s life when he runs fast to bring the doctor to her. The Gordons move abroad and Black Beauty was sold to Lord Westland. Things became totally different. Lady Westland made the horses wear reins (缰绳) so that they hold their heads up high. One day, a groom called Smith is left to look after the horses. He is drunk and rides Black Beauty very hard and uses a whip. Black Beauty loses a shoe and in the end falls. Smith is killed in the accident and Black Beauty stays alive but his legs are left a bad scar (伤疤) and Lord Westland decides to sell him.

Black Beauty’s next home is with a London cab driver Jerry Barker. Jerry and his family treat Black Beauty very well, but the work is hard and the hours are long. Jerry becomes ill and has to sell Black Beauty to a farmer. The farmer takes him to some women at Rose Hall. There, Black Beauty comes together again with a young groom who used to look after him at Mr. Gordon’s home. The women want to keep Black Beauty, so once again he has a kind and happy home.

How to improve your reading skill

Reading is a lifetime thing. Whenever you have some time, it’s good to take out a book and read it. It serves as a wonderful chance to open your eyes. Like any skill, reading takes practice. The following tips may work out.

Look for a good place to read.

It will be easier to read and study if you are comfortable. Make sure that there is good lighting in your reading area and you are sitting in a comfortable chair. And try to read in a quiet place where you won’t be interrupted(打断).

Make predictions(预测) before and as reading.

Use the titles, subtitles(副标题), pictures and so on to ask yourself questions about what you are going to read. Find answers to the questions when you are reading. After reading, think about what you have learned and decide what you need to read next.

Avoid translation.

Translation slows down your reading. Instead of translating new words into your first language, try to guess the meaning first. Use the other words around the new word to help you guess the meaning.

Don’t worry about understanding every word.

Sometimes readers think they must understand everything that they read. In fact, you needn’t do it. Instead of stopping your reading because of the new words, circle them and come back to them after you have finished reading.

【推荐2】Dear Sue,

I have so many things to do every day. Besides my schoolwork every weekday, I go to a chess club twice a week. I often have to help my younger cousin. She just started primary school and has some difficulties in Maths. On top of all that, I have classes in dance, piano, art... I like doing lots of different things, but I’m so busy! Yesterday, I fell asleep during class. I was so embarrassed. What should I do? Can you help me?

A Tired Girl


Dear Tired Girl,

Sorry to hear about your trouble. You are such a busy kid!

I think you should take some time to think carefully about your plan. You can list all the things you need to do each week in a notebook. Can you do all of these things and get enough rest to stay healthy? If not, decide what things must be done and what can be dropped from your list.

Here are some other tips that may help you:

●Plan your study time for each subject and do a review every weekend.

●Organize your notes right after classes.

● Take a few minutes every evening to check how your plan is going.

Making a good plan is half the work itself.

Best of luck

Sue
