Describe a book you want to read in the future. v. 1
Describe a book you want to read in the future. You should say: what book it is when you plan to read it if you would like to read other books by the same author and explain why you want to read this book.   Model Answer 1: I have heard a lot about one of the legendary authors of all time, who is famously known as William Shakespeare, but, unfortunately, I am yet to read many of his books. Of course, it is not like I have read books of all famous writers in the world, but this gentleman deserves an extra bit of attention from all the book lovers around the world, simply because he is widely regarded as the greatest writer in the English language and the world's greatest dramatist. The book, I want to read by this author, is called The “Tragedy of Hamlet, Prince of Denmark”, which is often shortened to Hamlet. The book is a tragedy, which was written by this legendary English poet, sometime between 1599 and 1601. By the way, it also happens to be Shakespeare's longest play with 30, 557 words. Anyway, the book tells about a revenge story, based on a popular legend, where the ghost of a murdered king comes to haunt the living with tragic consequences. Of course, in the story, the ghost doesn’t take the revenge himself, but rather he asks his own son, Hamlet, to avenge his murder by killing the new king, Hamlet's uncle. Hamlet feigns madness, contemplates life and death, and seeks revenge. His uncle, fearing for his life, also devises plots to kill Hamlet. At the end of the story, a fight breaks out where the King, Queen, Hamlet's opponent and Hamlet himself are all killed. By the way, I am not only planning to read this particular book in the next few months but also another book called “The Merchant of Venice” by this same author. Anyway, I want to read this book, mainly because I want to learn a little more about 16th century England and Europe as a whole. I want to read this book also because it is considered to be one of the greatest tragedies, ever written, as well as the greatest play of England’s national poet, who pretty much changed the landscape of English literature forever.   Finally, I want to read this book also because it will further enrich my English language skills.   Model Answer 2: The book I want to read in the future is "Fools Die" which was written by the famous author Mario Puzo. He is a highly acclaimed writer and widely known for his crime saga Godfather. I have read almost all of the books written by this talented author except 2-3 including 'Fools Die'. I am yet to read this book mostly because this book was not available in the market and library.   I have loved and thoroughly enjoyed all the books by this author and he is a gifted storyteller who can easily keep you awake till tale night with his books. Though I have not read this book 'Fools Die', I am sure that would be another great book that I would enjoy very much. I read the summary of this book and that seemed a very interesting story indeed. No other writer has been able to tell stories of Mafia families and crime world like this writer did. His stories and characters are so profound that some people believe that he must have some contacts with the mafia and some of the stories must be real! The fiction novel 'Fools Die' was first published in the year 1978 and the plot encircles the worlds of gambling, film industry and publishing. I would definitely read any other books I have not read written by the same author. Since the writer is not in this world anymore, we won't have any new book written by him but I would like to read any book I have not read by this author.     Similar Cue Card Topics Your ability to talk about this Cue Card Topic would also enable you to talk about the following Cue Card Topics as well: Describe a book you have recently read.

dramatist.

is called
The “Tragedy of Hamlet, Prince of Denmark”, which is
often
shortened to Hamlet. The
book
is a tragedy, which was
written

Anyway

book
tells
about a revenge
story
, based on a popular legend, where the ghost of a murdered king
comes
to haunt the living with tragic consequences.

Model Answer 2:

The
book
I
want
to
read
in the future is
"
Fools
Die
"
which was
written
by the
famous
author
Mario Puzo. He is a
highly
acclaimed
writer
and
widely
known for his crime saga Godfather. I have
read
almost
all of the
books
written
by this talented
author
except 2-3 including 'Fools
Die
'. I am
yet
to
read
this
book
mostly
because
this
book
was not available in the market and library.
 
I
have
loved
and
thoroughly
enjoyed all the
books
by this
author and
he is a gifted storyteller who can
easily
keep
you awake till tale night with his
books
. Though I have not
read
this
book
'Fools
Die
', I am sure that would be another great
book
that I would enjoy
very
much. I
read
the summary of this
book
and that seemed a
very
interesting
story
indeed
. No other
writer
has been able to
tell
stories
of Mafia families and crime
world
like this
writer
did. His
stories
and characters are
so
profound that
some
people
believe that he
must
have
some
contacts with the mafia and
some of the
stories
must
be real! The fiction novel 'Fools
Die
' was
first
published in the year 1978 and the plot encircles the
worlds
of gambling, film industry and publishing. I would definitely
read
any other
books
I have not
read
written
by the same
author
. Since the
writer
is not in this
world
anymore, we won't have any new
book

I would like to
