Everyone needs a break, and vacations are not meant for serious study. Instead, they’re a great way to take a break and enjoy a good book. The Spring Festival is coming up so this is the perfect time to discuss some great English language literature to take on a long train journey or while you’re hanging out with the family.

Before getting into the recommendations, we need to determine your English reading comprehension level so you don’t pick a book which is so challenging that it’s stressful or so simple that it’s boring.

If you’re at the beginner level, there are two options: reading a children’s book or reading a book that you’ve read in Chinese translation. This will help you get over any unfamiliar words or phrases, since you’re already familiar with the story. If you’re at the intermediate level, popular books like pop fiction, mysteries and thrillers are good options, as they’ll be guaranteed page turners and that will increase the possibility of your getting all the way through the book. For advanced readers, science fiction, classic works of literature or contemporary prize winners (Booker, Nobel, Pulitzer) are good options.

The most important thing is to pick a book that you’re really interested in. When I pick up a new book in Chinese, the first few chapters are always really hard to get through, as I have to get accustomed to the way the individual author uses the language. But after the first few chapters, things get a lot easier, especially if I get involved in the story. Some of my favorite Chinese-language eye candy are books that are series like Brothers by Yu Hua or The Dancer by Hai Yan. I like them because there’s always a lot of action and story development to keep me involved, which helps me make it through those first few chapters.

Another great way to keep yourself motivated over the holiday is to find a friend who’s interested in reading the same book. You can make goals that you both want to achieve and discuss plot lines or vocabulary issues with each other by SMS or e-mail. I’m currently doing that with my friend Laura. We’ve been doing this since we were classmates in Chinese at college.

Some quick recommendations: Harry Potter, start with the first book and go on from there; the Narnia series; anything by US writer Michael Crichton or British writer Agatha Christie; and if you like horror, US writer Stephen King is always unusual and fun. But really you should just find a topic or author that you’re interested in, and the rest will go from there. Happy reading!

参考答案：

(Text 1)

M: Mr Brown is not in at the moment. Can I take a message?

W: OK. He’s booked Flight No. BA1279. It leaves at 10:30 a.m. tomorrow. But he must be there at least one hour before checking in.

(Text 2)

W: What part of the country are you from?

M: I’m from the northeast. My home is in Boston and I lived in New York for a while. I lived in Los Angeles for two years before moving here.

(Text 3)

W: Well, you said you didn’t care very much for your job. Have you ever thought of giving it up?

M: Not really. You see I have a lot of friends in the office. I’m part of the family.

(Text 4)

M: For such a small room, I have to pay you £300 a month. Don’t you think it’s a little expensive?

W: Well ... but it’s a nice room with modern furniture. And the rent includes electricity.

M: I see. Anyway it costs too much.

(Text 5)

W: Oh, Richard, they look wonderful.

M: Er, hang on, they’re not for you. They’re for my girlfriend’s mother. Yeah, I’m going to stay for the weekend. This is my sort of coming-to-stay present.

(Text 6)

M: Hi, Julie. How’re you doing?

W: Well, pretty busy.

M: Did you register for the new term?

W: Yeah, I registered this morning.

M: Going to take any business classes?

W: No, I don’t think so. I’m going to take African Music. It meets three times a week.

M: Hmm. Well, any piano classes?

W: Yeah, I’m taking Advanced Piano. It meets on Monday.

M: How about the basic requirement courses?

W: I’m going to take English Composition and Basic Spanish.

M: Sounds like a full schedule!

W: Yeah, I’m going to be really busy.

(Text 7)

W: ⑧I really hate the bad traffic, Danny. The crowds, the rush. I spend two hours a day on the subway and on buses.

M: That’s city life for you.

W: You’re really lucky, Danny. You go to work when everyone’s at home.

M: True.

W: The other day, I waited half an hour for a No. 74 bus, and then three No. 74s arrived at the same time! It made me mad.

M: Well, a bus is better than the subway. Who wants to be stuck in a tunnel? But I know someone who’s solved the problem.

W: Who’s that? You?

M: No. Tony Berelli. He lives over the store.

(Text 8)

W: John, look at this ad for the new restaurant in Garstang Road. Why don’t we go?

M: Oh, you mean The Roebuck Inn? Oh yes, that would be nice. I’ve heard they do delicious steak and chicken dishes there.

W: And they also have fresh fish specials.

M: Hey, maybe we can invite your sister too!

W: Great idea! Right, I’ll call the restaurant now then. What time shall I book the table for?

M: Wait a minute! That’s Monday to Saturday. Sundays they’re only open 12:00 until 2:00 for traditional Sunday lunch. Yummy! I love roast dinners!

W: Yeah, me too. That’s no good for my sister though. She’s a vegetarian!

M: Oh yes, I forgot. I wonder if they serve some vegetarian dishes, too.

W: They do! Look, it says “vegetarian dishes available”.

M: Great! I’ll call Jill and see if she can come at once!

(Text 9)

M: Hello?

W: Hi! I’m calling about the computer you advertised in the Evening News. Is it a desktop computer or a laptop?

M: It’s a laptop. I’m selling it because I’ve just bought a new desktop.

W: What colour is it?

M: It’s really nice. It’s black and silver.

W: And how much memory does it have?

M: It had 80GB when I bought it, but I made some changes and now it has 160GB.

W: Are there any things with it, like a mouse or headphones?

M: Yes, it comes with a mouse and a microphone, but it doesn’t have headphones.

W: And how much are you selling it for?

M: I advertised it for £500 last week, but nobody was interested, so now I’m selling it for £425. I’m a student, and I really need the money.

W: That’s a good deal. Can I come and see it?

M: Of course. I’ll be here all evening.
