    The classics are really great. Some of them can even change our life. I have a cousin who is eight years older than me. He is very good at writing now，because he has read many classics before. Those novels(小说)help him do well in writing. He thinks the classics are part of his life. He can't live without them. He has read 26 classics. As for me，I have readLittleWomen，TomSawyerandTreasureIsland.

    Reading the classics is good for us. Some classics such asOliverTwist，TreasureIsland，TomSawyerandLittleWomenare good books. I have read all of them. But if students spend too much time reading the classics，they won't get good grades，either.
