Learning English through Novels – Tom Sawyer – Part 2 – TC

by Mark Twain

First published 2020

This bilingual edition presents the middle section of Tom Sawyer's adventures along the Mississippi River. W.J. Hoggett's simplified version makes Mark Twain's classic accessible to Chinese speakers learning English, while also serving English speakers studying Chinese. The book covers chapters eleven through twenty of Tom's story, including his courtroom testimony, his treasure hunting expeditions, and his growing relationship with Becky Thatcher. Each chapter appears in both English and Chinese, accompanied by vocabulary lists that explain multiple meanings of key words. The simplified text removes much of the original dialect and slang while preserving the essential plot and character development. Tom continues to navigate the challenges of boyhood in his Missouri town, facing moral dilemmas and adventures that test his courage and integrity.
