When I was a Junior 1 student, I liked reading martial arts novels very much, and “Soul Land” was my favorite. I read it when I went home and ate food, and I even stayed up all night to read it!

At that time, I failed all my exams, and I often felt tired of my study. I even read martial arts novels in class secretly and didn’t listen to the teachers. Unfortunately, my parents detected it and reported to my teacher.

One day, I was caught by my teacher Amy while I was reading the book “The Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils” in class. She took away my book and put it on the teacher’s desk. I knew she would scold me and tell me the harm from reading such books in class, so I felt very nervous. I thought she would tell my parents who would be very angry. When I thought about that, I felt even more nervous. I imagined seeing my parents holding a stick to hit me with and I started to get scared.

After class, Amy asked me to go to her office. I knew that she would be very angry and tell my parents about what I had done in her class. When I arrived there, Amy returned the book to me and said, “Hu Borui, I won’t tell this thing to your parents, but I think these kinds of books are very bad for your study.

Look at your marks — they have dropped rapidly and will even become worse if you continue reading these martial arts novels. I hope you can read some books which are good for your study and life. I believe you can do it and improve your marks, can you? ”

Can I say no? Of course not! So I said, “I believe I can! I promise you, Amy!”

Now, I am a student in Junior 2. Although martial arts novels are still very interesting to me, I am not as crazy about them as I used to be. I had already realized how badly they would influence me. They will not only bring me the impulse to fall in love with a girl and violence, but also make me addicted to the fictitious world.

Therefore, it is necessary for us to keep away from martial arts novels and focus our attention on our studies at the same time.

Let’s take action to refuse martial arts novels.
