Not to be outshined by the bbc, this audiodrama collection gives O Henry's short stories a first- rate treatment. And best of all, they are faithful to the original stories.

In my opinion,the most splendid part of the story is the description of the room. It is so detailed that as if it were at my sight. The ending is unexpectedly and satirically. When it comes to the audiotape, the voice of the housekeeper is furry, her British tone was very suitable for the character. I appreciate the classic very much!

I have one chance to listen to a part of this story,"The Furnished Room",in my class.Telling the truth,I feel that it is not easy to read because of some recondite words. However, on the other side, with the detailed description and the radio reading, it makes me go through the situation personally. Esepecially the surprised ending, it also touched me much and I shut myself in a world of fancy for a long time. I think that it's a good story, a good love story. As a whole, I like the story very much!

This way to practice English for the EFL students benefits them not only the language itself but also the literature merit. This audio drama is the good media for modern people, since they always don't pay much time reading.
