《老人与海》、《小王子》、《哈利波特》等等都是非常适合初中生读的英文原著。初中生想要提高英文水平，就一定要尝试去多读一些英文原著，通过这种方式可以使口语越来越好，还能多学习很多其他的英语知识。英文原著有很多，既然是初中生，我们在选择书籍方面更应该额外注意。
一、《老人与海》
之所以要推荐这本书，主要是因为这本书的篇幅不大，但里面却包含了非常丰富的含义，而且故事非常简单，即便是初中生也可以很好的理解。有很多老师都会把这本书当做教材推荐给学生，以至于他多年来一直经久不衰，在书店也是畅销书籍。
二、《小王子》
《小王子》是一本在世界上都非常有名的童话小说，不仅孩子喜欢，就连大人都会被里面的内容深深的吸引。作品的内容总是会引发我们的深思，它把讽刺、幻想、真理、真情等很多内容融为一体，是一本不可多得的好书，可以让孩子通过这本书学习到更多的英文知识。
三、《哈利波特》
哈利波特在世界上拥有众多的粉丝，尤其是初中年龄段的孩子，既然想让孩子读英文原著，当然要选择他们真正喜欢的书籍。如果随便给孩子选择一些枯燥的书籍，不仅无法激发他们的兴趣，甚至还会让他们讨厌英语。《哈利波特》这本书能够提起孩子的兴趣，让他们沉浸在喜欢的魔法世界里不可自拔，里面的内容以通俗好懂。
除此之外，还有很多迪士尼系列的英文原著也很适合初中孩子读，这些书籍早已经被翻拍成电影，里面有能够吸引孩子兴趣的古诗内容，书中的词汇比较简单，适合初中水平的学生。

●不建议你买英语沙龙,杂志确实比较精致,但从学英语的角度来讲（特别是针对大学生）效果不是很好,性价比也不高.因为它上面的词汇并不符合大学词汇要求,有很多复杂生僻词汇,表达很书面化而且有些板块没什么必要,比如中国古典诗词翻译,晦涩难懂. ●我推荐你买《21世纪英文报》,这套报纸我从初中就一直开始看,现在上大学还在看.外观时尚,上面包含各种新闻,话题,词汇也是分级的,四级,六级,托福级别,而且从今年开始每期报纸后面都有大学英语四六级专题解析.每周出版一次,所以可以了解很多新鲜资讯又方便. ●还向你推荐一本英文版童话小说《小王子》,很适合中等英语程度的人阅读内容也很不错. 另外,现在网上资源确实丰富,但是始终替代不了纸质阅读.在网上可以练练听力,听英文歌可以培养兴趣,看美国电影,美剧可以培养语感,多模仿还可以学习口语.The last but not the least,英语的学习贵在坚持.

1. “A Good Man is Hard to Find,” Flannery O’ConnorFew short stories have stuck with us as much as this one, which is probably O'Connor's most famous work — and with good reason. The Misfit is one of the most alarming serial killers we've ever met, all the more so for his politeness, and the story’s moral is so striking and terrifying that — whether you subscribe to the religious undertones or not — a reader is likely to finish and begin to reexamine their entire existence. Or at least we did, the first time we read it.《好人难寻》这篇小说是奥康纳最为著名的作品，很少有其他短篇小说能像这篇一样给我们带来震撼。无论你是否能明了宗教般的潜在含义，看完这篇小说读者都会开始或是结束对存在的检视。2. “The School,” Donald BarthelmeThis story is very short, but pretty much perfect in every way. Though Barthelme is known for his playful, post modern style, we admire him for his ability to shape a world so clearly from so few words, chosen expertly. Barthelme never over explains, never uses one syllable too many, but effortlessly leads the reader right where he wants her to be. It's funny, it's absurdist, it's sad, it's enormous even in its smallness. It may be this writer’s favorite story of all time. You should read it.这篇小说很短，但是堪称完美。巴塞尔姆的优秀就在于他能用精选的极少几个文字就为我们叙述了一个世界。他很少过多地解释，就把读者带到了他想要你去地方。3. “In The Penal Colony,” Franz KafkaKafka called this one his“dirty story,”and thought it imperfect, but it's one of our favorites of his (though we also recommend “The Hunger Artist”and“A Country Doctor”). It's so obviously a story about writing, in some ultimate way — a machine punishes its victims by writing on them over and over until their bodies give out — but its as if, while the body is the source of every problem in the tale, every weakness, it is also the only place where true knowledge can be translated.卡夫卡称自己的这篇小说是一个“很脏的故事”，认为并不完美，但是这个短篇确实我们的最爱之一。在小说中，我们可以体会到，身体是一切问题和弱点的根源，但身体也是唯一能转化真知的地方。4. “Signs and Symbols,”Vladimir NabokovAnother short one, we revere this story for its ability to turn every tiny detail into a portentous disaster, not to mention the fact that it's penned in Nabokov's effortlessly gorgeous, silvery prose. An old Jewish couple goes to visit their son in the mental hospital, only to be turned away because he has attempted to kill himself. And that's it, really. They go home and look though a photo album, eat some jam. The phonerings. But the whole thing is, perhaps, both a comment on the nature of insanity and the nature of the short story itself, with all its rules and strangeness and banality. And all its symbols, of course. 我们喜欢这篇小说的原因就在于，这个故事有能力把每个细微的细节瞬间变为一场灾难，而Nabokov在写这篇小说用的是轻松华丽水银泻地般的散文风格。5. “Gooseberries,” Anton ChekhovChekhov's stories are indisputably among the greats, and this one, written rather late, is one of our favorites. Chekhov probes at both the frailty and the worth of humanity, not to mention the natureof life, both for the fortunate and the unfortunate. But like most of Chekhov's stories, there's no clear moral, there's no obvious takeaway. Some men sit around and discuss their thoughts, and we listen, mulling over the subtleties for ourselves.契科夫的小说无疑是最伟大的作品之一，而这篇是我们的最爱。这篇小说像他的其他小说一样，没有清晰的道德标准，我们只是静静地看着几个人围坐着，讨论他们的思想。6. “Sea Oak,” George Saunders“Sea Oak” is Saunders's favorite of his own stories, we've heard, so because we find it so hard to choose among them, we've included it here on his own recommendation. Absurdist and satirical, and including at least one zombie shouting at her housemates to get laid, it's a weird one. But it's also concerned with placelessness, with family, with poverty, and like all of Saunders's stories, has a good, thumping heart under all that darkness and fun-poking.这部小说是桑德斯最为喜爱的一步短篇，这也是我们听说的。因为我们很难做出选择，因此就把他自己的推介放在了这里。这部小说充满了荒诞和讽刺，但是也关心家庭和贫穷等问题。像他的其他小说一样，在黑暗和取笑中，也暗含着美好和快乐。7. “The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas,” Ursula K. LeGuinLeGuin's parabolic tale, which won the Hugo Award for best short story in 1974, is a weird, spacious story about a city that seems to be a utopia — except for its one flaw, the single child that must always be kept in darkness and wretched misery so that the others may all live happily. Most of the citizens eventually accept this, but some do not, and silently leave the city, vanishing into the world around. Strange but pointed, Le Guin is a master of her genre.勒古这部寓言般的短篇小说获得过1974年的“雨果奖”，是关于一个类似乌托邦的城市的荒诞又宏大的故事。8. “The Veldt,” Ray BradburyThis tale, from one of the greatest science fiction writers in history, is deliciously wicked. Though it was written in 1950, this kind of story — of children driven mad by want, of technology turning on its masters — will never get old. Until technology actually turns on us, that is. Then we probably won't want to hear about it.布莱伯利作为历史上最富盛名的科幻小说家，这篇小说也是通过精心编写的。9. “The Bear Came Over the Mountain,” Alice MunroThe undisputed queen of the short story, Alice Munro’s work is stark and often heartbreakingly raw, and this story of memory loss and the aching tenderness of human interaction is no different. Fun fact: this story was adapted into the film “Away from Her”, starring Julie Christie and Gordon Pinsent.门罗是毫无争议的短篇小说女王，她的作品有一种朴实风格，常常带着心跳般的粗犷，这篇关于丧失记忆以及人类互动中的痛苦和柔弱的小说也不例外。10. “The Nose,” Nikolai GogolGogol might be the oldest writer on this list, but he’s also one of the weirdest — in a good way. Nabokov once wrote, “In Gogol…the absurd central character belongs to the absurd world around him but, pathetically and tragically, attempts to struggle out of it into the world of humans — and dies in despair.” What else can an absurd noseless man do, after all?果戈里应该是这个书单上最久远的作家了，但是他也是最荒诞的小说家之一。纳博科夫曾近这样写道：“在果戈里的作品中，荒诞的人物属于他周围荒诞的世界，但是却可怜兮兮且悲惨地要逃离他的世界，最终死于绝望”。
