Tom is an engineer in a small town near Paris

One day, Tom arrived at the bus station quite early. The bus for Paris would not leave until five to twelve. He saw a lot of people waiting in the station. Some were standing in line, others were walking around. There was a group of schoolgirls. Their teacher was trying to keep them in line. Tom looked around but there was no place for him to sit.

He walked into the station cafe . He looked up at the clock there. It was only twenty to twelve. He found a seat and sat down before a large mirror（镜子） on the wall. Just then, Mike, one of Tom’s workmates came in and sat with Tom.

“What time is your bus?” asked Mike.

“There’s plenty of time yet,” answered Tom.

“Well, I’ll get you some more tea then,” said Mike.

They talked while drinking. Then Tom looked at the clock again. “Oh! It’s going backward（倒行）!” he cried. “A．few minutes ago it was twenty to twelve and now it’s half past eleven.”

“You’re looking at the clock in the mirror.” said Mike. Tom was so sad. The next bus was not to leave for another hour. Since then Tom has never liked mirrors.

    My favorite great book is The Adventure of Tom Sawyer（套姆索耶历险记）by Mark Twain．Tom lives with his aunt Polly in a quiet street．He’s a lively and clever young boy，and he finds himself in many exciting adventures．He runs away with his two friends，Huck Finn and Joe to an island in the middle of the Mississippi River for several days．With Huck he goes looking for treasure with Becky he gets lost in a cave．and finally they find a box of gold．

    My favorite scene in the book is when everyone thinks Tom is dead．He decides to go to his own funeral．He hides and watches for a time and then suddenly he appears．Everyone is surprised to see him but they’re also pleased to see him alive．

    Tom is the hero of the story but there are other important characters．Huck is an outsider and everyone is afraid of him．Becky is pretty with fair hair．Joe is Tom’s best friend and Injun Joe is the bad man of the story．

    The story is about children growing up．It describes how strangers are seen in small towns of America．Finally，it talks about freedom．social rules and how people are punished（惩制）for bad behavior．

    Who do I think The Adventure of Tom Sawyer is a great book? Mark Twain wrote the story in 1876，but it’s still read and loved by people all over the world Today．And although it’s only a story．Twain wrote it in the everyday English of the southern states of America in the 19th century，so it sounds very real．Today it’s thought to be one of the greatest books in American literature．Go on-read it! I know you’ll enjoy it，too．
