Good evening ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to the Richmond Film Society. Tonight, we begin a season of Marilyn Monroe films. Before we star the film I’d like to say just a few words about Marilyn Monroe’s life.

Marilyn was born in Los Angeles in 1926, but had quite a sad life as a child. Her father didn’t want to see her from the time she was born and her mother became ill when she was very young and stayed in hospital for a long period of time. Between 1926 and 1935, Marilyn lived with lots of different families.

In 1935, she went to a school for girls with no parents, but didn’t like it and left in 1942 when she married Jim Dougherty. In 1949 she met the famous film director Johnny Hyde, and in 1950 she made her first film, The Asphalt Jungle.

Between 1950 and 1961 she made thirty-one films. She was, however, never very happy. She died in Hollywood in 1962.

My favorite great book is The Adventure of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain．Tom lives with his aunt Polly in a quiet street of St Petersburg，Missouri．He's a lively and clever young boy，and he finds himself in many exciting adventures（冒险）．He runs away with his two friends，Huck Finn and Joe，to an island in the middle of the Mississippi River for several days．With Huck he goes looking for treasure，with Becky he gets lost in a cave，and finally，they find a box of gold．

My favorite scene in the book is when everyone thinks Tom is dead．He decides to go to his own funeral．He hides and watches for a time，and then suddenly he appears．Everyone is surprised to see him but they're also pleased to see him alive．

Tom is the hero of the story．but there are other important characters．Huck is an outsider and everyone is afraid of him．Becky is pretty with fair hair，Joe is Tom's best friend，and Injun Joe is the bad man of the story．

The theme of the story is about children growing up．It describes how strangers are seen in small towns of America．Finally，it talks about freedom，social hales and how people are punished（惩罚）for bad behaviour．

Why do I think The Adventure of Tom Sawyer is a great book? Mark Twain wrote the story in 1876，but it's still read and loved by people all over the world today．And although it's only a story，Twain wrote it in the everyday English of the southern states of America in the 19th century，so it sounds very real．Today it's thought to be one of the greatest books in American literature．Go on--read it! I know you'll enjoy it，too．
