Read the short introductions to Mark Twain and Lin Yutang and share what else you know about them with the class.(P8)
Mark Twain (1835-1910) was an American writer, humorist, lecturer and adventurer, who acquired international fame for his travel narratives, in particular The Innocents Abroad, and for his adventure stories of boyhood, such as The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. He is regarded as one of North America’s best and most beloved（深受喜爱的） writers due to his wit and satire（讽刺作品）.
Lin Yutang (1895-1976) was a Chinese writer, translator, linguist, philosopher and inventor. His informal but sophisticated(复杂的) style of writing, in both Chinese and English, made him one of the most influential writers of his generation. His most famous works include My Country and My People and The Importance of Living. He’s also known as a wise and witty populariser(普及者) of Chinese philosophy and the Chinese way of life.
