Confucius (circa 551－479 BC). He sometimes went by the name Kong Zi , though he was born—Kong Qiu—styled Zhong Ni. He was born in the village of Zou in the country of Lu. Shakespeare (1564－1616) He was considered the greatest playwright in the world and the finest poet who has written in the English language. Mark Twain ( l835—1910 ) He was the U.S. critical realism literature founder, world renowned short story master. Listening and vocabulary

Now listen and check your answers.123ConfuciusWilliam Shakespeare Mark Twain 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? 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.
Betty: Great! Why don't you join in the discussion
and tell us about it?

as + 形容词/副词原级+ as
Little Jimmy does homework as carefully as his brother. 小吉米做作业和他的哥哥一样认真。
3. Why don’t you + 动词原形？= Why not + 动词原形？
你为什么不……？是提建议的一种方式。

A book review of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer
One of my favourite great books is The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, by Mark Twain. The story is set in the town of St Petersburg, Missouri, in the US, in the nineteenth century. It tells some exciting stories about a boy who has many adventures.
Tom，the hero of the book，lives with his aunt
Polly.He is a lively and clever boy. He does not like
people telling him what to do, so he always gets into trouble.He and his best friend, Huck Finn, run
away to an island in the middle of the Mississippi River. Tom has more trouble because a bad man named Injun Joe is looking for him. Later, Tom escapes from a cave with another friend，Becky.
He also finds Injun Joe's treasure box and takes it away.
My favourite part of the book is when Tom and Huck start their adventures on the island in the Mississippi River. At first, they are happy. But when they hear that everyone thinks they are dead, they feel very sorry, so they come back home. They hide and watch for a time when they see their family and neighbours coming to their funeral in the church.Then, Tom and Huck suddenly appear. Everyone is surprised to see them at first, but very pleased to find that they are alive.
The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is a great book. It is more than an adventure story. Mark Twain wrote it in 1876. It describes people's lives in the southern states of America at that time. It tells how young people grow, how people love each other and how bad people pay for their actions. It is writtenin everyday English, and the dialogues sound especially real. Today, it is still read and loved by people all over the world, and it is thought to be one of the greatest American
stories. Learning to learn
Noticing words and expressions that are similar
or repeated will help you understand the theme of a passage. For example, the expressions many adventures, run away and treasure box in The Adventures of Tom Sawyer show us that the story will be an exciting adventure.
