During my childhood, I didn’t have a strong affinity for reading books. However, I did find solace in reading cartoon comics that were featured in magazines. Among these, my favorite was a series of Phantom stories written in my native language. The thrilling escapades of the Phantom captivated my imagination and sparked my interest in adventure narratives.
As I progressed to high school, I stumbled upon my first beloved book, “The Adventures of Tom Sawyer.” Although I had limited knowledge of the English language at the time, I was undeterred and determined to comprehend the story. As an adventurous child, Tom Sawyer’s exploits resonated with me, and I found myself captivated by his escapades. To grasp the essence of the book and unravel its intricacies, I read it repeatedly, eagerly consulting a dictionary to decipher unfamiliar words and phrases. This diligent effort to understand the narrative allowed me to fully appreciate Tom Sawyer’s adventures and further fueled my love for adventurous tales.
In summary, my childhood reading experiences primarily revolved around cartoon comics, particularly the Phantom series. However, it was during my high school years that I discovered my first cherished book, “The Adventures of Tom Sawyer.” Despite my initial lack of proficiency in English, my passion for adventure stories motivated me to delve into the book repeatedly, seeking to unravel its meanings and intricacies. This journey not only enhanced my language skills but also deepened my appreciation for the thrilling exploits of fictional characters.
