参考范文：
Hello, everyone. Today I’d like to introduce one of my favorite writers to you.
Mo Yan is one of my favorite writers, who was the first Chinese writer to be awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2012. Mo Yan showed in his early years a talent for literature and has made great contributions to the development of Chinese literature.
He has written many novels about life in China in the 1900s, among which I like his Red Sorghum best, because it not only shows the vivid rural life in that period, but also has been made into a film with the same name. I hope all of you can read this book in your spare time.
That’s all. Thank you for your listening.
