I was bubbling with anticipation when my parents
decided to go to the book exhibition. On the long-
waited day, we reached the venue and what came
to our sight were many book stalls. Each book stall
was displaying a large collection of books on the shelves.
The venue was bursting at its seams.

I had to jostle through crowd to search for

favourite booth fiction and English Literature.Books
were sold at discounted price and it was a great
opportunity to grab my favourite books. I enjoyed
browsing through different genres种类 of books
on display and immersing myself in the world of
literature as well as fictions.

At the end of the visit, my parents and I

managed to buy a few books. I was like a dog with
two tails . I looked forward to pay another visit to
