My favourite book is The Old Man and the Sea. It is fascinating! I used to

o 3 Cuban fisherman,Santiago. Santiago hadn't caught any
f 4 for 84 days. But on the 85th day,he caught a giant marlin(枪鱼). He began to try to beat several groups of sharks. He said he would beat them
b 5 he died. At the end of the story,Santiago returned with a
