Listen and read. Mr. Jackson : Hello, Betty. What’s up? What are you doing in the library?Betty: I was looking for some old copies of the school magazine. If I’ve got it right, it was called New Standard.Mr. Jackson : That’s right. As far as I remember, it was started by Becky Wang. We don’t have a school magazine any more. It’s a pity.Betty: Well, I’m thinking about starting it again.Mr. Jackson : Sounds like a good idea! Go on.Betty: I was also looking for something by Confucius and by Shakespeare.
Mr. Jackson :Really? That’s a bit difficult for the school magazine.Betty: Well, I’d like a monthly article called “Great Books” – you know, someone reads a favourite work of literature and writes an article about it.
Mr. Jackson : I see. Confucius’ works are still read by many people today, and we ’re still influenced by his thoughts. And Shakespeare’s plays are seen by millions of people every year. But how about an American writer ,Mark Twain, for example?
Betty: I don’t know . Mark Twain was an important writer ,but he isn’t known as a great thinker like Confucius.
Mr. Jackson :No, but his books are still popular. In fact, he wrote my favourite book The Adventure of Tom Sawyer. Perhaps that’s what makes “Great Books” - they ’re still read today.Betty: So why don’t you write the first article on “Great Books”?

It’s a pity. 真遗憾 .
