介绍文学作品
介绍文学作品属于说明文的范畴,需要学生针对自己读过的一部文学作品作一个简单的介绍。文章一般可分三段来写:
第一段:整体介绍该作品(书名、作者和作品类型);
第二段:概述故事情节(通常用一般现在时);
第三段:讨论作品的主题和意义,也可适当发表自己的感受和评论。
写作时应注意,介绍故事情节时要按照时间上的先后顺序对主要事件进行描述,注意其和文学评论的区别。对文学作品的介绍要更加注重对故事情节的叙述。

The Million Pound Bank Note by Mark Twain tells the story of an American clerk, who is called Henry Adams and rescued after running into a shipwreck.He arrives in London by accident, not having a penny in hand.
Two rich brothers make a bet and lend Henry a million pound bank note to see whether he can live in London for a month.Later, people's attitudes towards Henry change over and over again as the note is lost and returned.
One obvious theme of the novel is the criticism of the money worship.In the story, it also reveals the ridiculous British society at that time.
