Book reviews can be a great foot in the door if you’re looking to get your writing published somewhere. Most magazines, whether online or print, will include book reviews about books that tackle the topics the magazine discusses. Also, most editors and staff writers are usually too busy to read books and review them themselves (unless they are specifically assigned to a book review column). Therefore, writing book reviews can be a great way to get started with a writing career.
Many people that are reading your review may not know anything about the book you’re reviewing. Instead of making them go find information on their own by searching for the book title, start out with a little description of the book. Make sure you avoid too long of a summary, though, because if too much of your article is a summary of the book, it won’t be interesting. Start with a short paragraph or so that hits all the major points but doesn't give too much away. You don’t want to tell your reader everything about the book, because then they won’t have to read it at all. Just give enough information so your reader is interested in reading the book.
Some magazines like to publish book reviews that are completely objective(客观的). This means that they want a review of the book that doesn't share your opinion and that in which your opinion isn't obvious from reading what you wrote. If you hated a book, it might not be a great book to review. You probably want to review books that you enjoyed. This will give your review a positive spin. Avoid gushing about how much you loved the book, however. You should not include your personal reaction to the book until the very end, where you include a sentence or two about whether or not you would recommend a book and to whom you would recommend it.
A great way to get your review noticed is to look at a book through a specific lens. Read the book as a feminist(女权主义者) would, for example, and talk about what a feminist might say to applaud or criticize the book. You can choose any number of lenses, and feminism is just one option. An economic lens, a family lens, the lens of a different nationality, or the lens of a child could all be interesting ways to look at a book. If you look at a book in this way, instead of just reading it and forming your own opinion, it will be much more interesting and marketable. This is especially the case if you look at a lens that relates to the subject of the magazine to which you are submitting. Feminist magazines love book reviews about books read through a feminist lens, for example, because it pertains to their readership.
Another great way to write a book review is to talk about the writer’s style. Anyone can pick up a book and read for the plot, but it takes an experienced writer to note interesting things about another writer’s style and write about them intelligently.

How to Teach a Child Respect
As a child grows out of being an infant(婴儿)and begins to notice and react to the world around them, you may find yourself wondering how you possibly impart all of the things that they need to become a responsible, respectful adult. 71 A child who learns to respect all he meets not only receives respect from others in kind, but learns to respect himself as well.
Instructions
★1 Show your child respect. This is perhaps the best way to teach your child how to respect others. Listen to your child by giving her your full attention and she will learn to listen to you, understanding how important this is in relationships.
★2 72 The more you say "please" and "thank you" to your child, the more likely he will learn to use them with you and others. Politeness then becomes a normal part of any conversation.
★3 Agree to disagree. 73 Explain your decision so that she will understand your reasoning and expect respectful responses. Disagreeing with you doesn't equate to disobedience.
★4 Control your impulse to overreact. When a situation arises between you and your child that requires calmness, keep in mind that you are supposed to be modeling correct behavior. 74
★5 Praise, praise, praise! So much is focused on what a child does wrong and how to correct it that the accomplishments are not celebrated enough. 75
A.Teach manners by using polite requests and responses.
B.Try to remember that a child won’t always agree with you.
C.Respect is necessary for a meaningful and successful life.
D.If he sees you lose your temper, he is more likely to respond that way in future.
E.A child may act like he pleases, but will respect being given limits.
F.When you see you child exhibit respectful behavior, make sure he knows just how proud you are of him.
G.Signs such as sudden poor performance in school, behaviors like fears and threats accompany behavior problems in children.

I agree that Hong King is the attractive place for tourists. I will give reasons why I think is so. First of all, Hong Kong is a good place for shop and eating. There are a rich variety of shops and restaurants this small city. Moreover, Hong Kong has a lot of attractions who provide tourists with memorable experience.
