"Pride and Prejudice" is Jane Austen's masterpiece. This work uses daily life as the material. It goes against the content and artificial writing methods of sentimental novels that were popular in the society at that time. It vividly reflects the conservative and closed-off British rural life and world conditions from the end of the 18th century to the beginning of the 19th century. Although "Sense and Sensibility" is Jane Austen's first novel, her writing skills are already quite proficient. The novel takes the tortuous and complicated marriage turmoil of the two heroines as the main line, and raises issues of moral and behavioral norms through the humorous comparison of "reason and emotion". Every plot in the story has been ingeniously conceived by the author. The superficial causal relationship and the underlying reasons hidden behind the scenes are all natural and reasonable. Emma, ​​the protagonist of "Emma", is a beautiful, intelligent and wealthy girl, and she is also an out-and-out dreamer. She enthusiastically pays attention to the romantic stories around her, but stubbornly believes that she will never fall into them. She took it upon herself to direct love affairs again and again for the orphan Harriet. When Harriet mistakenly thought she was in love with the magistrate Mr. Knightley, Emma was shocked to realize that she was also in love with Mr. Knightley. Although this was contrary to the vow she had announced from the beginning that she would never marry, she had to give up her innocent vow when she fell in love. "Sanditon" This book includes Austen's unfinished novel "Sanditon" and the novella "Lady Susan". "Sanditon" was Austen's final work, and she died after writing only twelve chapters. "Lady Susan" is one of Austen's early epistolary novels. It describes the widow Lady Susan's plan to find a new husband for herself and also decides to marry off her daughter, which fully demonstrates Austen's satirical characteristics. In addition, this book fully demonstrates her accurate grasp of the character's psychology and has an unexpected Austen-style ending.

I don't expect students to like me, and I don't want to talk about big ideas, but I will never be vague about teaching seriously. I can't help it, I'm just such an upright person. Strangely enough, every time there were students who were reluctant to let me leave, saying that I was a good teacher, and some would cry. This time I came to the second class of fifth grade at Ichimonji Elementary School. Unexpectedly, something big happened the next day! So I solved the case along the way, and leaving with doubts is not my style.

A witty and atypical guide to life, telling us how to take a meaningful vacation, how to travel with salmon, how to avoid talking about football, how to take a train in the United States, how to talk about animals, and even how to become a Knight of Malta... Joking, provocative, and humorous, it is an incredible combination of profoundness and worldliness. With his naughty wit and genius-like cynicism, Eco answers questions we have never thought of and questions the answers we are accustomed to. Football, porn, and coffee pots, these seemingly "brainless" topics, become both interesting and profound in his writing, leading us to peek into the absurdity of modern life.
