Listen and read.
Mr Jackson: Hello, Betty. What's up
Betty: I want to join an Internet group to discuss great books
by great writers.
Mr Jackson: So, who are your great writers
Betty: Well, maybe Confucius and Shakespeare.
Mr Jackson: Really I accept that they're great because their
works are still read by many people today. But I
think I'd describe Confucius more as a teacher and
thinker than a writer. He was a very wise man.
What do you have to do for the discussion
思 考
新课讲解
Betty: Well, each of us reads a favourite book and writes a
review for the discussion.
Mr Jackson: I see. We're still influenced by Confucius's ideas, and
Shakespeare's plays also make a lot of sense to us
today. People have always read, and will always read
great books. By the way, what do you think of Mark
Twain, the great American writer in the nineteenth
century
Betty: He was important, but I suppose he isn't as well-known as
Confucius or Shakespeare.
Mr Jackson: No, but his books are still popular, and one of his
books is my favourite, The Adventures of Tom
Sawyer.
