The Alche,mist (炼丹术士) is an easv story with a deep message. It is a message to follow your
heart and search for your dreams. The book is aloout a young man named Santiago who lives in Spain
and works as a shepherd(牧羊人). He begins to have strange dreams so he goes to a Gypsy(吉普赛人)
to find out what they mean.The Gypsy tells him that he needs to go to the Egyptian pyramids to find his
treasure. Of course he does not believe her. But later he meets another person who tells him the same
thing. At last Santiago decides to give up his lifeas a shepherd and go to find his treasure.
The Alchemist has been translated into many languages,including, of course, English. It is a good book
for people who are learning English because most of the sentences are fairly short and you will learn a lot
of new words. There are certainly words you will not know atfirst,but with a little patience and study you
should be able to finish (and maybe enjoy) the book. And hopefully you will be able to follow your dreams as well.
