About the book:
Pre-reading
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.

1. After reading the two passages in this unit, what do you think you would acquire and lose as you grow up？(Critical thinking)
Post-reading
Discussion
After reading the two passages in this unit, I have learnt a lot. Being a child or an adult may have its own advantages and disadvantages. As far as I am concerned, being a child is much happier because I don’t take a lot of responsibilities, and I must be taken good care of by my parents, although I have to be supervised by them as well. Being an adult means I will be allowed to do a lot of things that I can’t when I was a child, while I must be mature and strong enough to take responsibilities.
Above all, I can acquire a lot; meanwhile, I may also lose something precious as I grow up. So I hope I will keep a childlike innocence deep in my heart.
