Strong logical thinking skills are essential for writing good argumentative essays. 🌟🌟 The seventh book, 🍉 my suggestion is to read more foreign classics after memorizing vocabulary. "The Little Prince" is a very interesting book, and the original English text doesn't have many unfamiliar words, making it suitable for high school students. The eleventh book, 🍉 I really recommend reading this one. Don't be fooled by its somewhat rough cover; it summarizes the meanings of some terms and some knowledge about cell migration.
