英语读书报告要求及范文(1).doc

.英语读书报告格式要求范文There is no standard form for a book report. However, every book report should contain the following four parts:1. Identification. Give the title and authors name. If the book is one with which your readers may not be familiar, identify it further. Give the name of the publisher, the place and year of publication, the price, and the number of pages.2.Classification. A word or phrase early in your report helps the reader keep in mind the type of book on which you are reporting; mystery, biography, humor, adventure, and so on. Your reader can then mentally compare it with similar books he has read.3.Description. A skillful book report gives an overall view of a book without giving away its outcome. Your description of a book may include quotations or brief sketches of scenes or action that you think are representative of the book. Take notes while reading. It will save you the time and trouble of thumbing through the book later to relocate quotations or other information.4.Evaluation. Your opinion is the most important part of the report. It may be either your immediate reaction to the book or a judgment based on further study. In either case, your opinion should be definite and clear. It should be supported with facts. You will want to comment on characterizations, plot, and recurring themes. Compare or contrast it to other books youve read. Write a word of criticism or praise while reading. It will help you recall your impression of the material after you have finished the book.Writing book reports can be a valuable exercise in clear thinking and precise writing. It also gives you the opportunity to improve your writing and to develop a style of your own.注意：题目统一为: A Book Report on 英文书名（斜体），标题居中，正文两端对齐；内容的几个部分可以成若干个段落写，但不能出现1，2，3，4序号字样；英文中没有书名号, 书名斜体；注意其他英文标点符号使用及字母大小写的规范；字体为Times New Roman, 字号为小四号，行距为固定值20磅；页码置于页面底端居中。字数要求：about 400 words常见的表达法：简写本 simplified version/abbreviated version故事大意如下 The gist of the story is as follows主人公 leading role/leading character/hero/heroine以为背景 It is set on the eve of/It is set on the background that其他：可参见课本P183页要求。格式可参考以下范文：Sample 1A Book Report on The Black Tulip By Huang Xin, Class 0901I have recently read the simplified version of The Black Tulip published by Shanghai Translation Press. This novel was written by the distinguished French writer Alexandre Dumas Pere, the pioneer of the Romanticism Literature Movement in France. He was so popular that his works had been translated into several languages and welcomed by readers all over the world.This novel took 17th century Dutch bourgeois revolutionary period of intense political struggle and the turbulent life as its background. This gist of the story is as follows. The leading role Cornelius is a young doctor who completely doesnt inquire about politics. He loves growing tulips and is trying to cultivate a black tulip without any other color on it at all. In order to obtain the considerable bonus offered by the government to the first man who cultivates the very kind of black tulip, Boxtel, Cornelius neighbor, tries to destroy and steal the bulbs of Cornelius, even kill him. Fortunately, Cornelius in the prison gets acquainted with the prison-keepers daughter Rosa and they fall in love. Under Rosas help, Cornelius realized his dream and achieves happiness at last.Its firmly believed by some people that when you become rich and successful, happiness will naturally follow. After reading this novel, I believe that nothing is further from the truth. To my mind, the secret to happiness lies in your successful work, in your contribution towards others happiness and in your wealth you have earned through your own honest efforts.Firstly, in order to obtain happiness, you should achieve your successful work; in order to achieve your successful work, you should go through thick and thin. As the writer said, “those who have suffered much, have a right to be happy.” Take the two leading characters for example. They eventually reach happiness after suffering a lot both psychologically and physiologically.Secondly, your happiness should live in your contribution towards others happiness, but not on the contrary, in destroying others happiness. If you get your happiness by taking advantage of others or by hurting others, you wont be happy with it for long, at least, you wont enjoy the real happiness. People will think youre a mean person. Boxtel was a typical case. He would never gain happiness.Thirdly, wealth obtained through dishonest means doesnt bring happiness. Happiness is not an end, it is a process. Its a continuous process of honest and productive work which makes a real contribution to others and makes you feel you are a useful and worthy person. Sample 2A Book Report on Sons and Lovers By Cheng Xin, Class 0901Sons and Lovers is a novel written by David Herbert Lawrence and it was first published in 1913 in London by Wyman & Sons.D. H. Lawrence was born at Eastwood, Notts, on September 11, 1885, the fourth child of a miner who had been employed at Brinsley Colliery since he was 7 years old. In 1911, his first novel The White Peacock was published.Sons and Lovers is divided into two parts and is composed of 15 chapters altogether. The story, set in England, can be interpreted as an autobiographical novel of Lawrence. The hero of the book, Paul Morel, is the second son of a miners family. His mother, Mrs. Morel, is a daughter of a mid-class family. Because of the differences in family background and education, a shadow is soon cast upon the married life of Mrs. Morel. And this shadow is darkened by Mr. Morels laziness and alcoholism. By misfortune or bad luck, Mr. Morel has an accident and becomes a cripple, which changes him into a man of bad temper. As a result, the couple shares less and less the things in common and is driven farther and farther apart from each other. Little by little, Mrs. Morel transports her attention and love to her children, especially her two sons, William and Paul. She encourages them to leave the small mining region for a big city to find opportunities for a better life. After the
