Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer.
Have you ever written a book report? First of all, you have to read the book Your next step will be to organize what you are going to say about it in your report Writing the basic elements down in an outline format will help you to organize your thoughts What will you include in the outline? Follow whatever instructions your teacher has given you If you are on your own, however, the following guidelines should help
Let's assume for the moment that you have chosen a work of fiction We will start with a description of the book The description should include such elements as:
1 The setting: Where does the story take place? Is it a real place or an imaginary one? If the author does not tell you
exactly, where the story is set, what can you tell about it from the way it is described?
2 The time period: Is the story set in the present day or in an earlier time period? Perhaps it is even set in the future! Let
your reader know
3 The main characters: Who is the story mostly about? Give a brief description Often, one character can be singled out as
the main character, but some books will have more than one
4 The plot: What happens to the main character? Warning! Be careful here Do not fall into the boring trap of reporting every
single thing that happens in the story Pick only the most important events Here are some hints on how to do that First, explain the situation of the main character as the story opens Next, identify the basic plot element of the story - Is the main character trying to achieve something or overcome a particular problem? Thirdly, describe a few of the more
important things that happen to the main character as he/she works toward that goal or solution Finally, you might hint at the story's conclusion without completely giving away the ending
The four points above deal with the report aspect of your work For the final section of your outline, give your reader a sense of the impression the book made upon you Ask yourself what the author was trying to achieve and whether or not he achieved it with you What larger idea does the story illustrate? How does it do that? How did you feel about the author's style of
Trang 3writing, the setting, or the mood of the novel? You do not have to limit yourself to these areas Pick something which caught your attention, and let your reader know your personal response to whatever it was
36 When you write a book report, you can organize your thoughts by writing the basic elements down in an outline format.
