Cold and hungry, she sat down in a corner and huddled up. Her house was as cold as the street. Her hands were almost frozen. She drew a match and struck it on the wall. The little girl seems to be sitting in front of a big warm stove.
just as she put her foot out, the match went out. She only has a burnt matchstick in her hand. She lit another match, and a roast goose jumped out of the plate and came to her with a knife and fork in its back. The match went out again, and there was only a thick and cold wall in front of her. She struck another match. This time, she was sitting under the beautiful Christmas tree. Just as the little girl reached out to the picture, the match went out again.
she struck another match. This time, there was a grandmother who loved her in the firelight. Grandma was so gentle and loving. She quickly struck the whole match.

1. Creation background
In October p>1845, Andersen visited Italy again. When Christmas was coming, friends in Gloucesterton repeatedly invited Andersen to spend Christmas there. Andersen excitedly got into the carriage to Glouceston. In Glouceston, he saw a banner "Welcome to Mr. Andersen" hanging by the road, and the bookstore was full of fairy tales he created.
Andersen's carriage is moving slowly along the streets of Glouceston. He wants to experience the Christmas atmosphere in the city. However, at the end of the busy street, he saw a middle-aged woman with a basket on her arm and a thin baby on her back, begging weakly. Not far away, a little girl who is only about five years old is selling matches, and her hands are frozen.
However, there are not many people passing by, and the little blonde girl hasn't sold any matches. When Andersen returned, he wrote The Little Match Girl.
2. Author's brief introduction
hans christian andersen (185-1875), a Danish fairy tale writer in the 19th century, is known as "the sun of children's literature in the world". Andersen's representative works include The Little Tin Soldier, The Daughter of the Sea, Thumbelina, The Little Match Girl, The Ugly Duckling and The Emperor's New Clothes.
Andersen was born in a poor shoemaker's family in odense, and his childhood was poor. My father is a shoemaker and my mother is a servant. I studied in a charity school and worked as an apprentice in my early years. Influenced by his father and folk oral literature, he loved literature since childhood. At the age of 11, my father died of illness and my mother remarried. In pursuit of art, he came to Copenhagen alone at the age of 14.
After eight years of struggle, I finally showed my talent in the poetic drama Alfsol. Therefore, he was sent by the Royal Art Theatre to Srager Segrammar School and Helsingo School for free. It lasted five years. In 1828, he was promoted to the University of Copenhagen. After graduation, I have never had a job, and I mainly rely on the manuscript fee to make a living. In 1838, he won a writer's prize-the state allocated him a non-official allowance in 2 yuan every year.
Andersen's literary career began in writing plays in 1822. After entering the university, the creation has become increasingly mature. He has published travel notes, musical comedies, poetry collections and poetic dramas. In 1833, the novel Impromptu Poet was published, which won him an international reputation and was his masterpiece of adult literature. His work Andersen's Fairy Tales has been translated into more than 15 languages and distributed and published all over the world.
