• Amy Tan’s Third Grade Essay

    

  I love school because the many things I learn
  seem to turn on a light in the little room in my mind.
  I can see a lot of things I have never seen before.
  I can read many interesting books by myself now.
  I love to read.
  My father takes me to the library every two weeks,
  and I check five or six books each time.
  These books seem to open many windows in my little room.
  I can see many wonderful things outside.
