"The Secret Garden" is a children's literature work created by the American female writer Frances Hodgson Burnett. The story tells the story of Mary Lenrocks, a little girl with an eccentric personality who lives in her uncle's mysterious and gloomy big house after her parents died. A magical experience led Mary to break into the long-confined and deserted garden. Mary, the farm boy Dickon and the morbid young master Colin, who has been locked in a dark room for many years, found the key to happiness and experienced a poetic resurrection with the garden. Today I would like to share with you some good words, sentences and paragraphs from this book.
Good words:
Smug (meaning that one feels good and proud),

Jesidili (referring to being extremely excited and acting abnormally),
Choose words and sentences, hastily finish things, speak decisively, be as thin as cicada wings, stop abruptly, involuntarily, and follow the context. .
Good sentences and paragraphs:
1. She has a thin face, a thin body, sparse light-colored hair, and a grimace.
2. Her hair is like curly silk, she has a slender nose, as if she despises everything, and she has a pair of big smiling eyes. All her clothes were flimsy and swaying in the wind, and Mary said they were "full of lace."
3. Not only was it a sad, huge place, but Mr Craven was, in his way, proud of it - which was sad enough. The six-hundred-year-old house is located on the edge of a marsh. There are nearly a hundred rooms in the house, most of which are empty and locked. There were pictures, fine old furniture, and other things of old age, and there was a large grove around it, with gardens and trees--some of them with their branches swaying to the ground.
4. Mary listened involuntarily just now. It was all so different from India that anything new was very attractive to her. But she didn't want to show that she was interested, which was one of the regrettable and unlikable things about her.
5. She closed her mouth and stared out the window. The gray rain poured down in diagonal lines, slapping the window glass and flowing down the window glass. This was a very natural sight.
6. Mary sat there, looking at her, looking at her hat that had slipped aside. Later, she fell asleep again in the corner of the carriage. The rain slapped against the window like a lullaby.
7. This must refer to the blood-curdling roar that reverberated around the house over and over again, as if an invisible giant was beating on the walls and windows to break in.
8. The next day, heavy rain poured down again. Mary looked out of the window and saw that the swamp was shrouded in gray fog and thick clouds.
9. The heavy rain has stopped, the working wind has blown away the gray fog and clouds, the wind itself has stopped, and the bright blue sky hangs high above the swamp.
10. The sky in India is always scorching and the heat is unbearable; but the sky here is so blue that it makes people feel cool, almost like the water in a bottomless and beloved lake. Shiny, white sheep-like clouds floated here and there in the blue sky. The vast swamp itself is no longer an oppressive purple-blue or a scary gray, but is replaced by a soft blue.
Do you have any ideas about reading this book? In the novel "The Secret Garden", the author Burnett uses the "resurrection" of the Secret Garden as a backdrop to delicately portray the characters of the main characters Mary, Colin and Mr. Craven from loneliness and pain to health and happiness. The tremendous changes that have occurred are designed to tell us that when facing setbacks and pain on the road of life, we must learn to open the secret garden of the soul, open our hearts, face life with a smile, defeat ourselves, and overcome hardships. Everyone should have an optimistic attitude towards life and never give up on themselves.
