Writers and Their Works Preparation

Interpreting Quotations

Directions: Work in groups to interpret the quotations from Mark Twain.

We can secure other people’s approval if we do right and try hard; but our own is worth a hundred of it, and no way has been found out of securing that.

Do not offer a compliment and ask a favor at the same time. A compliment that is charged for is not valuable.

It were not best that we should all think alike; it is difference of opinion that makes horse races.

Preparation

This quotation means that we need to make efforts and find ways of securing self-approval. People very often try hard to win the approval from others, and it’s actually a very difficult thing to do. What is more worthwhile to do is to be confident of yourself and be appreciative of what you’ve done.

Sample Answer

This quotation means that if you compliment someone, you should do it because you think the person deserves it. If you expect anything in return, your compliment is not sincere.

This quotation means that we should welcome different opinions on any issue. Different opinions may sound unpleasant and sometimes even annoying, but they make things more interesting.

写作实践例文 : A Campaign Speech for the Voice of Literature Editor-in-Chief

Writing Practice

Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition

Situation: Suppose your major is English literature. You are required to deliver a campaign speech for the editor-in-chief of the student magazine Voice of Literature.

entitled A Campaign Speech for the Voice of Literature Editor-in-Chief. You should write at least 120 words according to the situation given below:

Writing Practice

Hello everyone, I am Li Xiang, a junior in the English Literature Department. I want to be the Editor-in-Chief of Voice of Literature. I have a great deal of experience working as a part-time student editor for two campus newspapers. I have had the opportunity to observe how Voice of Literature worked when I coordinated events including the Blue Moon Poetry Contest and Shakespeare Month. As a highly motivated student and capable leader, I have an excellent academic and work record. My all-around abilities should tell you I am qualified for this position.

A Campaign Speech for the Voice of Literature Editor-in-Chief

Writing Practice

Below are some ideas I wish to pursue. First of all, apart from overseeing the monthly publication of the magazine, I will create an interactive and accessible Voice of Literature website consisting of posted worldwide events, meetings, best-sellers, among much more. Secondly, through better communication with a staff of student writers, I will collaborate with the Writing House to transform used literature books into a public system of shared reference books. Thirdly, I plan to organize a writing center where literature majors would work as volunteers to help peers proofread their writing. Last but not least, I will work with other school literature magazines to invite writers to speak on the current trends in internet literature. My goals are to make unpublished writing more accessible to readers and to make the content of published material, either online or offline, more appealing to readership.

Writing Practice

I know it is not enough simply to have goals and aspirations; one must have a concrete plan as to how to achieve them and have the ability to carry it out. If you have further questions or concerns, do not hesitate to ask me. Thank you for your attention!
