　　The Million Pound Note

　　This time I want to talk about a very famous short story written by Mark Twain---------“The Million Pound Note”. Referring to Mark Twain, you must feel familiar, because we must have read his works before. I still remember the article “ The Bite Events on the Train” in our textbook when I’m in the middle school. What touched me most at that time were his ironic words. Yes, he is a great humorist, novelist, writer and orator in America in nineteenth century. During his 40 years’ writing career, he created dozens of short or long stories.

　　This story tells about a poor but honest American Adam Hey. When he was wandering in the street of London, he was given by two billionaires a letter, in which he surprisedly found a ￡1,000,000 pound bank-note. Later he got to know that the two billionaires who were brothers had made a bet about the results after he got a one million-pound note at once. One of them thought the note wound count for nothing to the poor man because he could not prove that the money was his own while the other considered just as the opposite.

　　Dramatically, the plot went just out of my expectation. Herry went to a restaurant to have dinner first. The manager was mean to him at the beginning but his attitude changed quickly when Herry took out the note and asked for change. Faced with a millionaire, the manager apologized again and again and obsequiously told Herry that he didn’t need to pay for the bill right now. So Herry managed to have a free dinner. Then similarly, Herry went to a clothing shop and got a suit of clothes costing him nothing.

　　Like the plot above, people are curious of such a rich man and tried every means to cozy up to him, from free food， free clothes to free accommodation. At the same time, his social status was becoming higher and higher and finally higher than most dukes. Apart from that, he later got a beautiful wife and 200,000 pounds of bank interest. I can imagine a bright future was waiting for him.

　　The writing style of this story is so humorous. Mark Twain used hyperbole describing how our hero defeated snobbishness repeatedly. What I appreciate most is the detailed description of different people’s ridiculous actions before one million pounds, vivid, funny, ironic and humorous, which forms a Caricature.

　　In terms of the theme, it is apparent that the author wanted to denounce the overflowing mammonism in the society. Even now it gives us an impressive lesson. Yes, I cannot deny the importance of money to a person who wants to survive. We won’t live without money, with

　　which we get food, clothes, house and many other necessities. But we must know that there are many things which can’t be bought with money such as love or friendship. So in my opinion, money may be important to us, but not the most important. We need to build up the correct sense of money.

　　To sum up, this story is a really good work of Mark Twain. The lesson I’ve learnt from it makes me want to be an honest man sincerely and lets me not to worship money too much. I begin to regret not reading it earlier.

　　Studying aboard

　　Nowadays, there appears an undeniable fact that an increasing number of Chinese students choose to study aboard. This phenomenon has drawn considerable public attention.

　　Undoubtedly, there are a great many advantages of studying overseas. First and foremost, living and studying aboard offers students a different perspective of the world. By communicating with their counterparts from various counties and areas international students can get access to different ideas and values which will surely broaden their vision and eich their experience. In addition, it provides Chinese students a precious opportunity to get insights into different cultures and improve their second-language skills. What’s more, overseas experience is likely to bring more job opportunities to Chinese students when they are hunting jobs at home.

　　As far as I’m concerned, if possible, I will study aboard. In my view, despite its great expenses, studying aboard is rewarding.

　　brief introduction

　　"Million Pound" is a comedy film produced by Group Film Productions Limited, directed by Ronald Nim and starring Gregory Parker, Ronald Squire, and Joyce Glenfield. It was released in the UK on January 7, 1954. The film is adapted from the novel of the same name by Mark Twain, and mainly tells the story of how a one million pound banknote brings changes to the life of a poor man living on the streets of London.

　　The story takes place in early 20th century England. A pair of wealthy brothers used a million pound banknote to see if it would bring endless wealth or just a worthless piece of paper. Quickly, Adam from the United States entered the sight of the wealthy brothers.

　　This persons ship ran aground and sank at sea, and he had to work for other ships to mortgage his ticket before arriving in England. Now that he is penniless and starving, such a poor person is the most suitable candidate. So Adam was invited into the wealthy family. The wealthy brothers gave Adam a million dollar bill and agreed with him to use it freely for a month. But after a month, he must return the money to the rich man in its original form, so that he can get any job he wants from the rich man. Adam accepted the agreement in a daze.

　　Adam is always looked down upon by people for his shabby clothes, whether he goes to eat or buy clothes. But when he took out this banknote, people not only showed him great hospitality, but even the related expenses could be waived, because in their eyes Adam was a wealthy man, and no one could give change to a million dollar bill.

　　Soon, the news of a millionaire with a peculiar dress code from the United States visiting England was published in the newspaper. Adam became the focus of upper class society, and both dukes and wealthy businessmen took pride in socializing with him. Young girls competed with each other to attract Adams attention and became jealous of him. Adam became a well-known figure in England.

　　But soon Adam fell into a predicament. Firstly, he owed more and more debt. Then, the restaurant waiter joked with him and hid a million dollar bill, causing the stock market to plummet. It was rumored that Adam was a fraud, and the people who demanded debt crowded the entire restaurant... Fortunately, the one month deadline finally arrived, and Adam returned the money to the wealthy brothers with great relief.

　　But Adam did not accept their arrangement of work for him, because after experiencing ups and downs, Adam was already tired of peoples pursuit of money. Although he lost money, he gained a lot.
