题目内容
2.Hans Christian Andersen is a Danish writer famous for his fairy tales,many of which depict (描述) characters who gain happiness in life after suffering and conflict.Andersen's father was a poor shoemaker and his mother worked as a washerwoman.As a child he was highly emotional,suffering all kinds of fears and shame because of his unmanly interests.Encouraged by his parents,he composed his own fairy tales and arranged puppet (木偶) theater shows.At the age of 14,Andersen moved to Copenhagen to start a career as a singer-he had a beautiful voice.He succeeded in becoming associated with Royal Theater,but he had to leave it when his voice began to change.When casually referred to as a poet,he changed his plans and began to write plays,all of which were refused.
In 1822,Jonas Collin,the director of the Royal Theater,gave Andersen a grant to enter the grammar school at Slagelse.In 1827,Andersen gained admission to Copenhagen University,where he completed his education.In 1828he wrote a shot story on travel,a fantastic tale in the style of the German Romantic writer,E.T.A.Hofmann.He traveled widely in Europe and remained a passionate traveler all his life.
As a novelist,Andersen made his breakthrough with The Improvisatore.The story described a poor boy's integration (融合) into society,an Ugly Duckling theme of self-discovery.The book gained international success and remains the most widely read of all his works.
In his early collections,Andersen returned to the stories that he had heard as a child,but gradually he started to create his own tales.Most of Andersen's works were original.Only 12of his 156known fairy stories drew on folktales.
The ugliness of the hero or heroine in his stories often conceals (隐藏) great beauty,which is revealed (揭示) after misfortune.Some of Andersen's tales reveal a positive belief in the victory of the good,among them,The Snow Queen and The Ugly Duckling,and some end unhappily,like the Little Match Girl.In The Little Mermaid the author expressed a longing for the ordinary life that he had never had.Andersen never married,and he died in his home in Rolighed in 1875.

Make an outline of everything you need to have and do to make your plan happen.Make a list of all of the steps that need to be accomplished and think about what needs to be done.
Detail everything thoroughly and read over it so you can start coming up with some mental solutions of how to carry out your plans.
You should ensure that if for some reason way one doesn't work,you have way two and way three to lean back on.Therefore,different ways are needed at hand.It's just a matter of being organized.Chances are that there is always more than one way of doing things,and chances are that if one of those ways doesn't work,one of the other ones will.
Committing yourself to finishing at least part if not all of your plan at once is also necessary.It will show that you not only have initiative to get things rolling,but that you are interested in the results obtained with making the move to get everything done.
If you make a commitment to finish before a specific time,make sure that you carry that out,and be sure to do everything in the way you said you would,within the time-frame you set for yourself.
Don't try to tackle more things all at a time.All that does is delay your progress,distract you and make you lose your interest,motivation and energy.
Carrying out an effective plan requires being as organized as possible.You will only achieve this by sticking to the order of the plan and not deviating or trying to do more at a time.
Last but not the least,you should never abandon things mid-project.It will only annoy everyone around you including yourself.Unfinished plans are a waste of time,energy and,in some cases,even money.
So,don't be afraid of organization.The older we get,the more necessary it becomes to have the skills necessary to follow through with confidence and to be able to carry through plans in an organized and manageable way.It pays to be organized,after all.
