Two days ago, I read my second book in English. The first book was "Forest Gump". Okay, I've read "Animal Farm" by George Orwell. This novel isn't big, there were one hundred and forty-one sheets in it. I have been read it for three days. I had watched many videos on YouTube about "how to read books for learning English". After all, as I haven't read the novel, I decided to meet with the plot summary in Wikipedia. I've written down all unfamiliar words and phrases from there and began to read. Also, I decided to read with audio. Then, I come to YouTube and downloaded the audiobook "Animal Farm". It was read by Stephen Fry. I love the British accent. That loving become me when I first-time heard Alan Rickman, in Severus Snape's role. Stephen Fry has a beautiful and perfect British accent. Okay, I will talk about it, but now I have to say about "Animal Farm". So, I was reading the novel and hearing the audiobook. It was a great passed time. In one moment, then one character leaves another one forcibly, I've even begun to cry. Stephen Fry is the best) It was a super experience, and I decided that the next book which I'll read, is "Life of Pi" by Yann Martel. Good books you!

Two days ago, I read my second book in English. The first book was "Forest Gump". Okay, I've also read "Animal Farm" by George Orwell. This novel isn't big, there were one hundred and forty-one pages in it. I have been reading it for three days. I had watched (acceptable, but "watched" sounds better) many videos on YouTube about "how to read books for learning English". After all, as I hadn't read the novel, I decided to review (more formal: consult) the plot summary in Wikipedia. I wrote down all the unfamiliar words and phrases from there and began to read. Also, I decided to read with audio. Then, I came to YouTube and downloaded the audiobook "Animal Farm". It was read by Stephen Fry. I love the British accent. This love (more literary: "this love affair") started when I first heard Alan Rickman, in Severus Snape's role. Stephen Fry has a beautiful and perfect British accent. Okay, I will talk about it later, but now I have to talk about "Animal Farm". So, I was reading the novel and listening to the audiobook. It was a great time (or: "it was time well spent"). In one moment, when one character leaves another one, I even began to cry. Stephen Fry is the best) It was a super experience, and I decided that the next book I'll read is "Life of Pi" by Yann Martel. Good books!

Quite good. Books always have "pages;" "sheets" are usually loose/unbound pieces of paper. "I have been reading" is a perfect use of the past continuous tense, but don't forget the "-ing." Rather than "meet," one "reviews" or "consults" a summary, or a dictionary/reference book, etc. I struggled with "one character leaves another one forcibly." In English we don't really use "forcibly" to describe leaving; perhaps "abruptly" would be better, but if you're trying to describe an emotional departure it may be best to paraphrase it without using an an adverb at all. Enjoy Life of Pi. I admit I haven't read it, but the movie is excellent.
