15、 to write a description of the forest. There are so many greens and browns. At times, the clouds above are black and the rain heavy, but it soon clears and becomes light and the forest is alive with butterflies and sometimes colourful birds.

17、o many animals and insects up there. Down at the bottom on the forest floor we saw millions of ants, all busy collecting food. I went a short distance on my own and met a stranger.

Mr Jackson: Thats right. As far as I remember, it was started by Becky Wang. We dont have a school magazine any more.
23、Its a pity. Betty: Well, Im 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.

24、oksyou know, someone reads a favourite work of literature and writes an article about it. Mr Jackson: I see.

25、ter, Mark Twain, for example? Betty: I dont know. Mark Twain was an important writer, but he isnt known as a great thinker like Confucius. Mr Jackson: No, but his books are still popular.

26、ll read today. Betty: So why dont you write the first article on Great Books? The Adventures of Tom SawyerHere is our monthly article on a favourite great book. This month, our guest writer is Mr Jackson.My favourite great book is The Adventures of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain. Tom lives with his aunt P
27、olly in the quiet streets of St Petersburg, Missouri. Hes a lively and clever young boy, and he finds himself in many exciting adventures. He runs away with his two friends, Huck Finn and Joe, to an island in the middle of the Mississippi River for several days. With Huck he goes looking for treasur
28、e, with Becky he gets lost in a cave, and finally, they find a box of gold.My favourite scene in the book is when everyone thinks Tom is dead. He decides to go to his own funeral. He hides and watches for a time, and then suddenly he appears. Everyone is surprised to see him but theyre also pleased
29、to see him alive.Tom is the hero of the story, but there are other important characters. Huck is an outsider and everyone is afraid of him. Becky is pretty with fair hair, Joe is Toms best friend, and Injun Joe is the bad man of the story.The theme of the story are to do with children growing up and
30、 becoming more serious. It describes how strangers are seen in small towns of America. Finally, it talks about freedom, social rules and how people are punished for bad behaviour.Why do I think Tom Sawyer is a great book? Mark Twain wrote the story in 1876, but its still read and loved by people all
31、 over the world today. And although its only a story, Twain wrote it in the everyday English of the southern states of America in the 19th century, so it sounds very real. Today its thought to be one of the greatest books in American literature. Go onread it! I know youll enjoy it, too.Answer the qu
