    J. K. Rowling, the writer of Harry Potter, appeared on Today, an American morning talk show. There is good news and bad news. The1news for Harry Potter fans is that she said she is not working on2Harry Potter book.

    But the good news is pretty amazing! Rowling has3Lumos, a charity (慈善机构) for children in orphanages (孤儿院). She said4got the idea for the charity when seeing a photo of a boy who seemed to be caged (被关人笼中). Her dream is to provide all these5with health, education and social care,

    As you probably know, Lumos is the spell (咒语) to make light,6this name has a special meaning. This charity will help bring the7of orphanages to light. And it will8be a light of hope to the children living in orphanages and can hopefully make their lives much better.

    At the end of the9, Rowling said, "I will surely write for children again10I love writing for kids. And maybe I'll get to read that new work to some of these children."

    Hemingway was one of the famous writers. He was born in America in 1899. His  father was a doctor and loved sports very much, and his mother taught music. Among six children in the family, Hemingway was the second oldest.

    Hemingway had written many books in his life. The Old Man and the Sea is one of the most famous and also my favourite. It came out in 1952. The main character in the book is a fisherman. He is an old man and fishes alone. People think he is a man with bad luck, because he doesn't get a fish in eighty 一 four days. Every evening, he comes home with his empty boat. But the old man believes himself. Then on the eighty fifth day the man catches a big fish. Although he meets a lot of trouble, the old man never gives up.
