One of this summer’s hottest books is “That Guy Was Cool.” Sounds like a great book for kids, doesn’t it? But parents and teachers want to read this one,too.It can teach them something about the language of today’s kids.

So lots of people,young and old,went to see the book’s writer,a 19-year-old Korean girl Guiyeoni, on Saturday.She was in Beijing to sign給…簽名books for her fans.

“Guiyeoni wrote a story that is near to us and goes to our hearts內(nèi)心,”said a Junior 2 student in Beijing. “When I read it,I laughed and I cried.”

Like the “Meteor流星Garden” TV series連續(xù)劇,“That Guy Was Cool”tells an unusual story of love between two students.The girl is sweet,but she’s just average（一般的）.The boy is good-looking and has everything,but he is often unhappy because his father died when he was very young.They become close and help each other to be happy.In the end,they fall in love.

“The girl in the book is like me.She’s simple天真的and moody憂郁的,”said Guiyeoni.

Guiyeoni’s book doesn’t only use words.It also uses things like emotions情感.Emotions are small icons圖標(biāo),like smiling faces,and they are used to show emotions.Kids know what these things mean, because they often use them when they talk on the Internet or send messages with mobile phones.

Guiyeoni said she wrote this way because of her young readers. “Writing with pictures is vivid（生動）and can say a lot of things,”she said.

Guiyeoni began writing the book’s story on the Web in 2001 when she was a Senior 2 （高二）student. Last year,she put that online story together to make this book.“That Guy Was Cool” has been made into拍攝成a film,and it will come out in Korea next month.

This is Guiyeoni’s first of four books,and she hopes to keep writing as she goes through college. She also has a message for young writers.“I think that if they try hard,lots of young people can do this.”

Adults usually do not remember most of the things that are taught by their teachers at school. But this story is one   16  that I will never forget.
It was a normal Monday morning, and my teacher was teaching us about  17  things in life and about devoting ourselves to what we really need. This is how the story went:
  18   lived in a certain part of London, and he would wake up every morning and go to the underground. He would get onto the train right to Central London, and then sit at the street corner and   19 . He would do this every single day of his life. He sat at  20 street corner and begged for almost 20 years.
His  21  was dirty, and a stench （惡臭） came out. The neighbors could not bear the  22 any more, so they called for the police officers to clear the place. The officers knocked down the door and  23 the house. There were small bags of  24  all over the house that he had collected over the years.
The police counted the money, and they soon   25 that the old man was a millionaire. They waited outside his house expecting to  26  the good news with him. When the old man arrived home that evening, one of the officers told him that there was no need for him to beg any more as he was a   27 man now, a millionaire.
But the old man said  28  ;he went into his house and locked the door. The next morning he woke up  29  ,went to the underground, sat at the same street corner and continued to beg.
Clearly, this old man had no great plans,  30   or anything significant (重大的) for his life. We learn nothing from this story but to stay focused on the things we enjoy doing.
