I don’t agree with this opinion. I accept that books by great writers are classic and we can learn a lot from them, but that doesn’t mean we can only read books by great writers. We should judge(判断) a book by its content, not the writer. I think if we can learn or get something from the book, it’s worth reading.

Mr Jackson: Hello, Betty. What's up?
Betty: I want to join an Internet group to discuss great books by great writers.
Mr Jackson: So, who are your great writers?
Betty: Well, maybe Confucius and Shakespeare.
Mr Jackson: Really? I accept that they're great because their works are still read by many people today. But I think I'd describe Confucius more as a teacher and thinker than a writer. He was a very wise man. What do you have to do for the discussion?
Betty: Well, each of us reads a favourite book and writes a review for the discussion.
Mr Jackson: I see. We're still influenced by Confucius's ideas, and Shakespeare's plays also make a lot of sense to us today. People have always read, and will always read great books. By the way, what do you think of Mark Twain, the great American writer in the nineteenth century?
Betty: He was important, but I suppose he isn't as well-known as Confucius or Shakespeare.
Mr Jackson: No, but his books are still popular, and one of his books is my favourite, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer.
Betty: Great! Why don't you join in the discussion and tell us about it?

Language points
1.But I think I’d describe Confucius more as a teacher and thinker than a writer.但是我想我更愿意把孔子描述为一位教育家兼思想家,而非作家。
(1)more…than…“更像是A而不是B”,“与其说是B不如说是A”, 其后常接名词、形容词或副词等。more和than后接名词或形容词。此时不是对两个对象进行比较,而是对同一个人或物在两个不同方面进行比较或取舍。如:
He is more a scholar than a teacher.与其说他是一位教师,不如说是一位学者。
【拓展】more than 的其他用法
more than + 数词, “大于, 多于”,表示超出该数。
more than + 名词 “不止, 不仅仅是”,表示超出该名词所指含义。
more than + 形容词, “非常, 十分”,表示程度。

2) Mr Zhou is more than an actor; he is a singer too. _______
3) I'm more than glad to help you. _______

2.We’re still influenced by Confucius’s ideas, and Shakespeare’s plays also make a lot of sense to us today.我们仍然深受孔子思想的影响,并且莎士比亚的戏剧现在对我们来说也仍然很有意义。
(1)influence在此用作动词,“影响,作用于”,主要指对行为、性格、观点等产生间接或潜移默化的影响。be influenced by… 是一般现在时的被动语态,“被……影响”。其结构是: 主语+am /are / is +及物动词的过去分词 + by +动作的执行者。
Language points
influence还可以作可数名词,“影响”。
常用短语:have an influence on sb./sth.对某人或某物造成影响。如:
What he said had a strong influence on me.他所说的话对我影响很大。
①Students by their friends.
A.often influence B.are often influenced
C.are influencing D.often influenced
②Computer games children.
电脑游戏对孩子们造成不良的影响。
have a bad influence on

Language points
(2)make a lot of sense to sb.“对某人很有意义”。make sense“合情合理;有意义”。sense作不可数名词,“道理;意义;合理性”。
Language points
3.He was important, but I suppose he isn’t as well-known as Confucius or Shakespeare.他很重要,但我认为他不如孔子和莎士比亚有名。
(1)suppose是及物动词,“认为;猜想;想象”。suppose后面可接宾语从句,that可省略。be supposed to do sth.“应该做某事”。
Language points
(2)suppose后接宾语从句,主句主语是第一人称(I, we)且主句为一般现在时,对从句进行否定要将否定转移到主句上,即“否定转移”。与suppose用法相同的还有think, believe, expect等。
I think that he’ll agree.我认为他会同意。
→ I don’t think that he’ll agree.我认为他不会同意。
Language points
(2)as…as…“与……一样……”,as…as中间接形容词或副词的原级。其否定结构为not as /so…as…,“不如……”。如:
He is not as/so clever as his brother.他不如他兄弟聪明。
注意:as…as结构中的第一个as是副词,在否定句中可以用so代替,而第二个as是连词或介词,不能用so代替。
Language points
①He is his father.他和他爸爸一样高。
②Tom gets up Jim.汤姆起得和吉姆一样早。
③Lucy isn’t Mary.露西不如玛丽外向。
as/so outgoing as
as early as
as tall as
He was important, but I suppose he isn’t as well-known as Confucius or Shakespeare.他是位重要的作家,但我觉得他不像孔子和莎士比亚那么有名。
【拓展】
