中四-中國文學同literature in english

English Literature is composed of three genres:
1. Poetry (includint rhymes, ambience, format, language, etc.)
2. Drama (including setting, plot, characters, themes, motifs, etc.)
3. Novel (including background, biography, themes, techniques, etc.)

Each genre is also divided into two parts: old and modern. No matter which genre you're studying, you must know the historical background well.

Sometimes, Shakespearean sonnets and Shakespearean plays are two independent parts you need to study. It depends on what levels you are studying.

I'd like to recommend a very useful reference book here.
Norton Anthology (Vol. 1 and Vol. 2)


Both Chinese and English Lit need students to read many stories, fictions and poems etc. You will have to analyze the people in the story and other things in the story, such
as their personality.

You also will study some terms such as 擬人化，倒敍法 etc
If you are good at 古文in both Chinese and Eng. it will be much better.
To study for CE, all you do is to memorize 死記
