Activity 1
What experience made the author write The Little Prince
What kind of person do you think Saint-Exupéry was
Read the introduction to Antoine de Saint-Exupéry and answer the questions.
1. The story was probably inspired by his plane crash in the desert in 1935.
Activity 2
Look at the three drawings and predict what the story is about.

Activity 3
Grown-ups are more practical than children. They want to teach children knowledge that will be useful in the future.

Answer: 2
Activity 4
Read the sentences from the passage and answer the questions.
What does the author really mean by these sentences
What figure of speech does the author use How does this figure of speech help to express the author’s attitude
1. Most of the grown-ups 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.
2. Irony. This figure of speech enables the author to indicate his low opinion of adults’ behaviour and values by stressing such things.

Activity 8
A Book Review of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn
The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is a novel written by Mark Twain, one of the greatest writers to use everyday English in American literature. It is commonly regarded as one of the first “Great American Novels”. The story takes place along the Mississippi River. Huckleberry Finn is a poor white boy who runs away to escape his bad-tempered father. While hiding on an island in the middle of the river, he encounters Jim, a runaway black slave. They find a raft and sail down the river together, having many adventures. The story tells how Huckleberry Finn’s encounter with Jim makes him accept Jim as a man and as a close friend. The book shows the writer’s view of so-called “civilization”, and reflects the moral growth of Huckleberry Finn. Huckleberry Finn comes to realize that Jim, a slave, is not only a man, but a good man. The book contains much sharp social criticism, especially of slavery and racism.
I think the book is well worth reading. Ultimately, it tells a story showing how everyone seeks freedom, and how every human being is entitled to respect.
Activity 9
Work in pairs. Make improvements to each other’s book reviews and share them with the class.
Thank you for listening!
