[quote=\"tamarind\"]Hi Brenda,

Thanks for reminding me about 寻梦, I must go buy this.

atan,
I also borrowed all the books from the library when I was a teenager, could not afford to buy back then.

Hi Tamarind,

Beside 卫斯理 series, I also like 原振侠 series. The novels like 天 人，迷路，灵椅 etc all are very interesting.

Hopefully can find all these books in 简体字。

Now that China is a big market, lots of Taiwan and HK books have been reprinted to simplified Chinese version.

I always wonder why DS cannot read traditional Chinese - remember we all were not taught traditional Chinese before but we can read despite that (I cannot write but can read - maybe can write the easy ones!)[/quote]
Hi Pen88n,

In fact, DD is able to read certain traditional Chinese words (may be sometime she guess the possibility of the word) as she uses to borrow some Taiwan comics from NLB.

However, I still prefer her to read the simplified Chinese version in order not to get confuse.

Anyone has tried the new series from 倪匡, the 卫斯理武侠 series? Wonder how good it is? His latest venture into new arena......

Hi Pen88n,

Read some part from dangdang:

[卫斯理武侠系列]一剑震八方

在线试读部分章节

三月中，残雪还未融尽，漫天的风沙已然吹起了。天地之间，一片灰蒙蒙、黄澄澄，所有的声音，全被呼号着的风声压了下去。
当风声萧萧之际，可以听到沙粒滚动时的沙沙声。一层一层的浮沙，在古道的路面上滚过，像是滔滔不绝的波涛一样。
古道两旁的老榆树，已经长出了一两株新芽来，可是在这样风沙蔽天的情形下，却也绝不能使人感到有一丝春意。
在古道上，不是没有人来往，但每一个人都是缩着头，而每一个人的身上，也全是黄色的，那是被风扬起的黄沙，又落在人身上的缘故。
到了傍晚时分，风更急了，在夕阳昏黄的光照下，一匹马疾冲进了好力堡。

I may try to borrow some books when I visit the NLB next trip.

If my ds can write like that, confirm PSLE CL A*, HCL A*, ‘O’ level A1, ‘A’ level A1.

I agree if one can write like that, it would guarantee lifetime royalty collection from books published but if one can write like this, there is no guarantee of A* in exams.

Why leh? Is it because by the time one finishes describing the scenario, time's up already so don't have time to go into the main plot of the essay?

The succintness (is there such a word?) of the description is amazing. In the short paragraph posted by Brenda10, I can actually visualise and hear what the author was trying to express.
