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 思 考 新课讲解 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.
