[04:20.15]READING
[04:25.43]HARRY POTTER
[04:28.49]Welcome to the world of JK Rowling!It is a world of magic and wonders,
[04:36.35]a world where anything can happen.
[04:40.61]Many of the creature in Rowling's world are not real,
[04:46.25]and much of what happens is strange.
[04:50.80]JK Rowling has written a series of books about Harry Potter,
[04:56.96]a boy with a scar on his forehead and a secret past.
[05:03.12]The books are about magic and strange creatures,
[05:08.40]but they still tell us something about the real world.
[05:13.55]In the first book about Harry Potter,
[05:17.81]we meet Harry before he knows anything about magic.
[05:23.27]Harry seems like a normal boy,but his life is miserable.
[05:29.64]His parents are dead and he lives with a family that treats him badly.
[05:36.40]Harry is very unhappy and does not know what to do about his life.
[05:43.25]His life changes when a bird tells him to go to Hogwarts
[05:49.13]and become a student of witchcraft and wizardry.
[05:54.17]Hogwarts is an unusual school where the students learn about magic.
[06:00.44]But for Harry,the most important lesson is about real life,
[06:06.37]friendship and how to be brave.
[06:10.91]Harry learns more than magic at Hogwarts.
[06:15.59]He makes new friends
[06:18.83]and learns how important and difficult it is to be a good friend
[06:25.20]His friends help him when he is in trouble
[06:29.46]but he must also be strong and help them when they need him.
[06:35.81]Harry also learns to be brave and to do things he used to be afraid of.
[06:42.78]He learns the truth about his past,
[06:47.04]a dark secret that will make his life and his choices more difficult.
[06:53.70]At Hogwarts,Harry also learns about the power of love.
[06:59.76]The magic,many strange creatures and the adventures
[07:05.93]Harry comes across at Hogwarts help him understand the real world.
[07:12.48]Harry has to fight against bad wizards and do the right thing.
[07:18.83]Together with his friends,
[07:22.38]Harry learns that it is not always easy to do what is right.
[07:28.44]You must believe in what you do
[07:32.52]and who you are if you want to succeed in the world
[07:37.56]the magical world of Hogwarts and the real one.
[07:42.92]Where someone is born and what a person looks like
[07:47.77]is not as what he or she grows up to be.
[07:53.73]Two people may speak different languages,
[07:58.09]have different habits or even come from two different worlds,
[08:04.05]but they can still be friends if they share the same goals,hopes and dreams.
[08:11.31]It is not enough to be strong in heart and mind;
[08:16.35]we must also believe in ourselves and help others
[08:21.39]if we want to be happy and live a good life.

[08:35.45]THE QUESTION
[08:38.32]Tom stopped.What was that noise?He put his hand on Pete's shoulder.
[08:45.69]"Did you hear that?"he whispered.They both listened carefully.
[08:51.44]The noise seemed to be coming from the room behind the statue in front of them.
[08:57.50]It sounded like a woman crying.They looked at the statue.
[09:03.53]It was a strange creature with red eyes
[09:07.89]it was almost as if the creature was watching them.
[09:12.44]Tom suddenly felt cold.
[09:16.09]He remembered what his father had told him about the secrets of the church.
[09:21.87]He knew that the church had many secret rooms and that not all of them were safe.
[09:28.01]If only they could find a way to get to the room,
[09:32.58]or whatever it was,behind the wall.
[09:36.94]The statue stood in front of the door and there was no way they could get past it.
[09:43.39]Tom looked at the statue again.Strange!It looked as if the creature had moved.
[09:51.54]He was just about to say something when pete turned around.
[09:56.90]"Tom,"he said,"I think I know a way in.""How?"Tom asked.
[10:04.66]"It says on the statue that anyone who wants to enter the room must answer the question."
[10:11.92]"That sounds strange,"said Tom,"What question?" "I don't know,"Pete said,
[10:20.38]"but..."He did not have time to finish what he was saying.
[10:25.95]The statue was moving!A deep voice came from the strange creature,
[10:32.71]"Listen carefully.You may enter the room if you know the answer to my question."
[10:39.56]"What is the question?"pete asked."It's a secret,"the creature said.
[10:46.61]"A secret?"Pete said,"That's stupid!
[10:52.17]How can I give you an answer if the question is a secret?"
[10:57.14]The creature spoke again,"Come here and I'll whisper the question in your ear.
[11:04.69]You will not remember the question tomorrow.
[11:08.84]If your answer is right,you may enter.
[11:13.80]If your answer is wrong,well,then you'll be in trouble."Peter looked at Tom.
[11:22.16]"I'll try,"he said.He walked up to the creature and listen to the question.
[11:29.24]After a few minutes,he whispered the answer in the creature's ear.
[11:35.20]They both waited for something to happen.
[11:39.64]"Are you sure you gave the right answer?"Tom sked.
[11:45.10]Pete did not have time to say anything.
[11:49.25]The statue moved to the side and the door opened up.
[11:54.29]Tom and Pete looked at each other.
[11:57.95]Tom was scared,"I guess we have to go in."They went past the statue and...
