Hi,

I am preparing for IELTS and want you to control my answer. If anyone can help me, I will be grateful.

Question: Describe a book you recently read.

Answer: I am going to tell you about a fascinating self-help book which I read nearly two weeks ago. I think that as a person, we need to be emotionally strong to cope with the struggles of life. This book, ''Feeling Good'', is trying to help you change your distorted thoughts about events, and make you feel less depressed. So, by doing some exercises given in the book, you can help yourself be emotionally stronger.

Thank you!

Thanks for your corrections emsr2d2.

Is there a difference between ''a book that I read'' and ''a book which I read'' ? I think that ''which'' is also grammatically correct.
