What
is classics literature? Classics are the (antique)
of the literary world. They are novels, plays and poems were written a long time ago and were well-written that people still read them
nowadays. They are examples of great writing and wisdom, and even those written
centuries ago can still be found in bookshops and libraries today.
Because
a lot of classics (write)
so long ago, their language characteristics are quite different those of modern works. This makes them
difficult for some people to read, so they are often left to gather dust on
shelves. Many people do not read them, because they think classics are old and (bore) and have nothing to do
with life today.
However,
if this is true, why do we still find these classics in bookshops and
libraries? They have not disappeared and still have place in the world. Why else would many films
adapted from them be successful? In 1995, an award-winning film (base) on Jane Austen's novel
Emma came out. Three years later, in 1998, a modern (adapt)
of Charles Dickens's novel Great Expectations appeared in cinemas. Nobody would
bother (make) these classic novels
into films if they had nothing to do with contemporary life.
