Book 5 Unit 1
Developing ideas
Have you ever read the novel The Little Prince?
How do you like the book?

Activity 1 About the author
Antoine de Saint Exupéry (1900 - 1944) was a French writer and pilot. As a young boy, he was obsessed with aeroplanes, riding in one for the first time at the age of 12. He spent much of his life flying and writing about his adventures.
Saint-Exupéry’s most successful work, The Little Prince, is one of the best-selling books ever published. The story was probably inspired by his plane crash in the desert in 1935. Saint-Exupéry nearly died, and wandered around for four days before being rescued. In 1944, Saint-Exupéry left on a wartime mission over occupied France, from which he never returned. Although the remains of his plane were discovered in 2000, Saint Exupéry’s body has never been found, and the cause of his death remains unknown.

Activity 4

Q1: What does the author really mean by these sentences?
Most of the adults I have met are the same. They focus on practical matters only and seldom pay attention to imagination or creativity. If I pretend to think the way they do, the adults will conclude that I am sensible and mature.
Activity 4

Q2: What figure of speech does the author use? How does this figure of speech help to express the author’s attitude?
Irony(讽刺,反语).
This figure of speech enables the author to indicate his low opinion of adults’ behavior and values by stressing such things.
Learning to learn
Irony is a subtle figure of speech that refers to things one says that are the opposite of what one really means. It has a humorous, emphatic or sarcastic effect.
For example: Fine, don’t buy me an airline ticket. I’ll just swim across the ocean!
Think & Share
