2、Amongst the most popular books being written

today are those which are usually classified as science

ds of titles are published every year and

are read by all kinds of rmore,some of the

most successful films of recent years have been based

on science fiction stories.

It is often thought that science fiction is a fairly new

development in literature,but its ancestors can be found

in books written hundreds of years books

were often concerned with the presentation of some

form of ideal society,a theme which is still often found

in modern stories.

Most of the classics of science fiction,however,have

been written within the last hundred by

writers such as Jules Verne and H.G Wells,to mention

just two well-known authors,have been translated into

many languages.

Modern science fiction writers don't write about men

from Mars or space adventure are more

interested in predicting the results of technical

developments on society and the human mind;or in

imagining future worlds which are a reflection of the

world which we live in e of this their

writing has obvious political undertones.

In an age where science fact frequently overtakes

science fiction,the writers may find it difficult to keep

ahead of scientific who are sufficiently

clear-sighted to see the way we are going,however,may

provide a valuable lesson on how to deal with the

problems which society will inevitably confront as it

tries to master its new technology.

reading from listening is the nature of the

the writer often does not know who will

read what he writes,he must attempt to be as clear as

can be taken to plan the piece of writing

so that it is eventually organized into some sort of

logical sequence of events or we

speak,however,we normally have very little time to

plan what we intend to we are actually

addressing our audience face to face we may omit some

of the information we believe our audience

the more familiar we are with our audience,the more

information we are likely to leave any case they

can always stop and ask a question or ask for

clarification if we have left out too much.A

reader,however,cannot do this but can at least

attempt comprehension at his own speed;that is to

to a dictionary or just stop and we listen
