B(2024·南京玄武区期中)
Nowadays, experts call on high school students to read as many literary classics(文学名著) as possible. What do you think of it?
Linda: We don’t have enough life experiences, so we may have difficulty understanding the deeper classics. But this shouldn’t be a reason to give up reading classics. As Francis Bacon said, “Reading makes a full man; conference(谈话) a ready man;and writing an exact man. ”
Frank: Without background and life experiences, students can’t understand what writers want to express in their classics. While reading, some students mainly pay more attention to words and expressions than the hidden ideas. For this reason, reading classics might be a waste of time.
Curry: Classics are the treasures our ancestors left us. We should read them and pass them down. As the old Chinese saying goes “One who is filled with knowledge always behaves well. ” Classics can open up our minds and develop our interest in culture.
Mary: On the one hand, not all classics are suitable for all students, as there are many difficult expressions and deep ideas. On the other hand, the special writing styles make it difficult for students to understand. So they won’t probably choose them.
