Show Time
Hello, Our favorite writer is Mark Twain. His masterpiece is The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. In this work, he mainly tells us that Tom Sawyer, a lively and clever boy, runs into and lives through many exciting adventures with his friends—Huck Finn and Joe. This work is so famous because the story is about children’s growing up, and it is really interesting and educational. What’s more, the conversations sound very good.
