# Responding to the book #

Matthew Cuthbert lived with his sister, Marilla, in Green Gables. Matthew was sixty years old. His heart isn’t very strong. He wants a boy to help him on the farm. But, they received a female child from the orphanage by mistake. They didn't wanted a girl, but Anne was a very interesting child and came to be loved by Matthew and Marilla. And she went to Avonlea school. Anne was happy everyday and she has red hair but she hated her hair colour. One day she bought black hair dye but it made her hair green. She was very sad. “We’ll have to cut it” Marilla said, and she cut Anne’s hair short. “I’ll never hate my red hair again!” said Anne.

A long time after Anne sat examinations to enter Queen’s College. One day Anne’s name was in the newspaper. She received the best score in the examination. But she’s not going to go to college. She’ll teach the students at Avonlea school.

I read this book when I was young. I think a lot of people know this story, and this book is good for the elementary level.
