【参考范文】
Mark Twain, one of the best known American
writers in the nineteenth century, was brought up in
Missouri along the Mississippi River, where he spent
his childhood. Later, he took a chance to work as a
sailor on a river boat, which was not permitted by his
family at first. At that time, he found himself interested in writing, and he decided to
become a writer, which helped him make a large amount of money.
There is a wry sense of humor in his works, which accounted for the reason why his
works are deeply loved by readers throughout the world.
