Describe a book you recently read.
You should say
what book it was
when you read it
why you read it
and explain what you liked and disliked about the book.
what book it was
As you may know, many Chinese people love complex love stories and the is perhaps the most popular and well-developed of them.
when you read it
I have read the whole novel from the beginning to the end only once 3 months ago, but I like it and I felt myself loss when I finished that novel. I lingered at the last few chapters for long enough to get myself back to a normal life.
why you read it
It tells us the difference between Chinese literature and Western literature. At the end of each chapter, there is always a line which says if the reader wants to know what happens next, please read the next chapter. The line suggests that these chapters were each written separately over a period of time, thus, it functions as a reminder for readers to wait for the next chapter. These were the most developed stages of Chinese fiction writing.
And explain what you liked about the book
Moreover, the reason for the novels outstanding reputation and distinguishable status is that the novel is the direct way to learn about Chinese culture. You cannot read Laozi or Confucius to understand Chinese society and Chinese people, while the book is the shortcut. Therefore, the language used for this classical work is between formal and colloquial. In addition, the work was completed during Qing dynasty which is the last feudal empire in Chinese history, thus, the language is classical but also quite close to modern Chinese; it is intelligible for Chinese readers without any footnotes. Furthermore, exaggerated expressions are frequently used in the original text to show the authors irony towards the society.
Another sample answer:
what book it was
Dream of the Red Mansions, written in the 18th century, is undoubtedly one of the most distinguishable classical novels of Chinese literature. The story has been made into numerous mini series and TV operas.
when you read it
I have read it several times, and have it handy in my palm in case I want to read it. I think I read it the first time when I was in middle school and it was kind of difficult . But then it got easier and easier. You have to read it and know the stories and the poems because they are so frequently quoted.
why you read it
I deeply love the romance between the characters, thats why I read it that often. I dont know much about the English version but itd be definitely difficult to translate this novel into any other languages. I wonder how one can translate the puns which expressed some deeper meaning, or probably the best way is to skip it or giving some footnotes .
