d.     Summary

The listening section is about books that can help us to realize that we are not lonely or powerless, even if our dream would never come true we can have a new purpose in life. Books would be proof that the most important purpose is to get us in touch with where dreams come from, where passions come from, where happiness comes from. Even a shattered dream can do that for us.

f.      Things I learn from this topic

I learn that books can open our minds because reading books can expand our knowledge. Books gave us such a magic portal to connect with people in the past and present. I became to know that two same books could have different meanings but books could give new things for us as a reader.
