The Discussion about Reading Famous Classical Works
We are having a discussion about reading classics in our school. The majority of students in our school think reading classics can help us know about some cultures and customs all over the world in old times. And it can also cultivate our minds and improve our characters. Besides, we can learn something useful from classics because they have something to do with our life today. However, some students think it isn’t necessary for us to read the classics because the language used in classics is quite different from that used today, which makes them difficult to be understood. They also think the classics are old-fashioned and boring.
In my view, it is necessary to read the classics in our spare time. Because it not only enriches our knowledge we can’t get in our daily life, but also enables us to obtain the food for the spirit about the ancient cultures. Meanwhile, we can care about nature and society by reading classics, so I like classics very much.
【语篇随练】
Ⅰ. The author’s father is willing and devoted to study, which benefits his children very much.
Ⅱ. 1. Because when he had an extra dollar, he bought a book rather than bought a drink or other things like others.
2.①Reading aloud to each other.
②Hiking, searching for rocks and wild flowers.
③Viewing the stars.
