Mr. Jackson：Really? That’s a bit difficult for the school magazine.

Mr. Jackson：I see. Confucius’s 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 Adventures 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”?
