1 . The Diary of a Young Girl was written by a girl named Anne Frank. It is a true experience of a teenager in wartime (World War II, 1939-1945) and it has also become a symbol of the victory of the human spirit.

Here's one of Anne's diaries.

Friday, 10 September, 1943

Dear Kitty,

Mostly whenever I write to you, there are only pleasant things to report. Actually, they are more often unpleasant than pleasant things. However, now there is something wonderful going on. Last Wednesday evening, 8 September, we sat around listening to the seven o'clock news and the first thing we heard was: "Here follows the best news of the whole war. Italy has capitulated (屈服，停止反抗)!" Italy's unconditional surrender (投降)!! "Listeners, an hour ago, I had just finished writing when the wonderful news of Italy's capitulation came in. I can tell you that I have never deposited (放下) my notes in the waste paper basket with such joy!"

Still we have troubles, too, it's about Mr. Koophuis. As you know, we are all very fond of him, he is always cheerful and amazingly brave, although he is never well, has a lot of pain, and is not allowed to eat much or do much walking. "When Mr. Koophuis enters, the sun begins to shine." Mommy said just recently, and she is quite right. Now he has had to go into the hospital for a very unpleasant operation and will have to stay there for at least four weeks. You really should have seen how he said good-bye to us just as usual—he might have simply been going out to do a bit of shopping.

Yours,

Anne
