http://szdaily.sznews.com/html/2012-11/19/content_2280829.htm

Practice the conversation; study the vocabulary; then discuss the questions with a friend in English.

Questions:
1. Sunny says "there are more 'great books' than just those from Europe, India, and East Asia." Do you know of any?
2. What do you think the saying, "A loaf of bread, a jug of wine, and thou" means?
3. How do you feel about the long quote that begins "The Moving Finger writes"? Is it depressing? Or freeing? Or something else?
