Mr Jackson and Betty are discussing great writers. Betty explains that in her Internet group, each person reads a favourite book and then writes a(n) (评论) of it. Mr Jackson (接受) that Confucius and Shakespeare are great because their works are still read by people today, but he thinks Confucius was more a teacher and thinker than a writer. He says that Confucius was a very (睿智的) man. Mr Jackson thinks that we are still (影响) by Confucius's ideas and that Shakespeare's plays still make (意义) to people today.
