Ⅱ.1.（1）The Fault in Our Stars

（2）John Green

（6）In their teens

（7）Fighting against terminal cancer but seeking support,love and joy of life at the same time.

（8）In the Support Group,hospital and else where

（9）Painful but joyful

（10）divided among people.

2.Great books can not only benefit personal growth but also reveal a different but existent world to you.Take this book for an example.You don't have to suffer terminal cancer like Hazel and Augustus until you find that some people are forced to confront death in a way that you can hardly imagine.Thus,reading provides a bridge to understanding and sympathy.At the same time,Augustusmay arouse yourreflectionsby his concept of importance.That is,without doing something dramatic that lives in people's minds,will your significance,like your consciousness,simply be consumed by oblivion after death?In conclusion,books can not only provide you with a world of different experiences but “read” your understanding,reflections,acts and explorations in the meaning of life.

【參考范文】

Great expectationsis set in England in the early 1800s.The author uses Pip,the main character,to tell the story.Having lost his parents,Pip lives with his elder sister and her husband Joe.Pip's sister often abuses him,but Joe is a kind and simple man who would rather die than see any harm come to Pip.

Pip,who is seven years old when the story begins,is in a foggy cemetery（墓地）when a desperate criminal appears and frightens him.Mist is a symbol of danger in Great Expectations.Classic novels often have symbols which add interest,tension or deeper meaning to the text.Readers may not be able to see the danger,so they need a symbol like the mist to make it clearer to them.

There is a twist in the plot when a very generous stranger gives Pip a large fortune.As a condition for receiving this fortune,Pip must move to London and begin the life of a gentleman.Pip iseagertobegin hisnew life.Moneyand education,however,change him,and before long he becomes vain and ashamed of his background.Pip dislikes it when Joe comes to visit him in London.He has rigid ideas of what it means to be civil and to be a gentleman,and is embarrassed by Joe because he does not fit these.

Pip is bent on becoming a gentleman and winning Estella's love.Estella is a beautiful girl,and for Pip she a symbol of education and money.What is really means to be a gentleman is an important theme in Great Expectations.Is a person with a lot of money a gentleman?Or,is a gentleman somebody who is kind and good to his friends?

By the end of the novel,Pip has changed a lot.He learns that wealth does not buy happiness and that friends are more important than a fancy education.This change in Pip is called character development,which is an important part of almost any novel.Does Joe forgive Pip?Does Pip get the girl of his dreams?Will Pip ever find out the identity of the person who gave him the money?You will just have to read the great book yourself to find out.(摘自《牛津高中英語》模塊八第一單元Reading部分)

Dear Anna,

How are you doing?I'm planning to go to the UK to take a three-month English course at the University of Nottingham after graduation this June.It's quite expensive but I'm hoping to improve my pronunciation.

To help cover the costs of my study,I am to find a part-time job.It's also a good way to practice my oral English and develop a better understanding of the British society.So I'm wondering if you could ask around your friends to see if anyone wants a waiter in the restaurants or a Chinese teacher for their children.I would appreciate it very much if you can help me.

Looking forward to your reply.Yours，Li Hua
