Look at the pictures and answer the questions.
1 Have you ever read any of these books What are they about
Dream of the Red Chamber The work, published in English as Dream of the Red Chamber（1929）, first appeared in manuscript form in Beijing during Cao Xueqin’s lifetime. In 1791, almost 30 years after his death, the novel was published in a complete version of 120 chapters prepared by Cheng Weiyuan and Gao E. Uncertainty remains about the final 40 chapters of the book; they may have been forged by Gao, substantially written by Cao Xueqin and simply discovered and put into final form by Cheng and Gao, or perhaps composed by an unknown author. The Story of the Stone（1973–1986）is a complete five-volume English translation. Dream of the Red Chamber, Hong-lou-meng, a novel written by Cao Xueqin in the 18th century is generally considered to be the greatest of all Chinese novels and among the greatest in world literature.
The Great Gatsby The Great Gatsby is a novel written by American author F. Scott Fitzgerald in 1925. At first glance, the novel appears to be a simple love story, but further examination shows Fitzgerald’s masterful observation of American society during the 1920s and the corruption of the American dream.
Moment in Peking Moment in Peking was written by Lin Yutang in English during his stay in Paris from 1938 to 1939. Lin was very active in the popularization of classical Chinese literature in the West, as well as vigorous with the general Chinese attitude towards life. His books therefore represent an attempt to bridge the cultural gap between the East and the West.
2 Have you ever seen the movies or TV plays based on
these books What do you think of them
The film：The Great Gatsby
I think highly of the film adapted from the novel The Great Gatsby because it’s just like the book.
They say that“a picture is worth a thousand words”, but the briefest look at books and the movies based on them would have anyone questioning this common saying. All too often, great words end up being turned into cinematic “turkeys”.
Good movies need good stories. If so, why has one of the earliest and greatest works in Western storytelling, Homer’s The Odyssey, never had an equally great movie based on it Movies need strong characters. So why have the movies based on The Great Gatsby never been praised as “great” Movies of course need impressive images, so why has Alice in Wonderland only resulted in movies best described as “interesting”
One of the key reasons behind this is that while a book usually takes a few days to read, a movie typically lasts under two hours. This means that great books can lose plot details and characters when they move to the big screen.This is something that even the highly successful Harry Potter movies can’t escape from, with fans of the books disappointed not to see some of their favourite characters in the movie versions.
Movies also disappoint us when things don’t look the way we imagined them in the books. Take, for example, the epic movie Troy, which is in part based on Homer’s The Iliad and was met with mixed reviews from the audience.The most questionable issue was the actress chosen to play the part of Helen. Many people thought she didn’t live up to Helen’s title of“the most beautiful woman in the world”, influencing opinions of the movie to some extent.
There are a thousand Hamlets in a thousand people’s eyes. Furthermore, books and movies are two different forms of media and therefore have different rules. With this in mind, perhaps we should judge a movie in its own right, and not against its original source. Interestingly. audiences have in recent years turned to television series such as Sherlock or Mad Men, which can have many characters and gradual plot development. Perhaps, one day, readers of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s most admired work will find themselves glued to their screens by episodes of The Great Gatsby.

1 What does the saying “There are a thousand Hamlets in a thousand people’s eyes” mean Do you know of any similar sayings in Chinese
It means readers usually have different ideas about how the characters from a certain novel should look like.
Similar sayings in Chinese include“一千个人眼中有一千个林黛玉/ 贾宝玉”，etc.
2 What books would you like to see made into movies Why
Stories of the Sahara written by Sanmao. Stories of the Sahara is a series of stories set in the desert. Because of the attraction of a geography magazine, Sanmao walked into the Sahara desert with her bags on her back，looking for the truth, goodness and beauty of life in the desert. Each story in the book is filled with a romantic, affectionate exotic tone, which reflects the unique terrain, landform and customs of the great desert.

Reasons：It is a magic novel adapted from a real adventure. In the Tang Dynasty, four monks travelled to the old India on foot for the truth of Buddhism. In spite of all the dangers, troubles and the far distance along the way, they finally succeeded by overcoming all those difficulties. As the only masterpiece of the writer, it impressed me deeply by the main characters’ bravery and their strong will of moving on. In my eyes, the story is inspiring and thought-provoking.

The Princess Diaries
Viewer reviews
★★★★★ What an interesting movie
2 March | by Jane
The Princess Diaries is a movie about a teenager named Mia Thermopolis, Shortly before her sixteenth birthday, she is shocked by the life-changing news that she is the princess of a fictional kingdom called Genovia. Starring Anne Hathaway, it is definitely a movie you should not miss!
Mia, a socially awkward American girl. becomes princess of Genovia when her long-absent father, the Crown Prince, dies. She’s taught how to behave perfectly. However, things get out of hand when the media gets hold of the story, putting Mia in the spotlight. On top of this, she must make a choice between continuing the normal life of a San Francisco teen and stepping up to the throne.
The movie explores the theme of responsibility in an intelligent and humorous way. The most memorable scene is towards the end of the movie when, during Mia’s darkest moment of self-doubt, she is touched by a letter her father left her. “Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgement that something else is more important than fear.” it’s one of the most unforgettable lines from the movie.
The Princess Diaries is an interesting movie. it's about being and bettering yourself, and about knowing who your real friends are. Watch it now!
