An interesting book for you to read and improve general English skills:

Twilight

Twilight is a series of four vampire-based fantasy/romance novels by the American author Stephenie Meyer. It follows the life of Isabella "Bella" Swan, a teenager who moves to Forks, Washington, and finds her life radically changed when she falls in love with a vampire named Edward Cullen.

Bella Swan moves from Phoenix, Arizona to live with her father in Forks, Washington to allow her mother to travel with her new husband, a minor league baseball player. After moving to Forks, Bella finds herself involuntarily drawn to a mysterious, handsome boy, Edward Cullen. She eventually learns that he is a member of a vampire family who drinks animal blood rather than human. Edward and Bella fall in love, but James, a sadistic vampire from another coven, is drawn to drink Bella's blood. Edward and the other Cullens defend Bella. She escapes to Phoenix, Arizona, where she is tricked into confronting James, who tries to kill her. She is seriously wounded, but Edward rescues her and they return to Forks.


Suggestion from Lucy:

You may watch the movie "Twilight" first before you go this novel, because this will give you a general ideal of how this story will tell. Even, this may evoke your deep desire and appreciation of such an amazing story you could ever fall in. Words in Twilight are not difficult to understand, besides its author is from America, then you can enjoy lots of American Engluish sentences or popular expressions through reading. Let reading be your close friend, and if you love English study, you should know it's a really good ideal to read some popular English novels. Think about it, people!
