Unit 7 Letter to a B Student Teaching plan综合教程二

Unit 7 Letter to a B StudentTeaching Objectives1)To help students to develop a proper attitude towards grades;2)To help students to know American education system;3)To help students to learn to analyze the text;4)To help students to learn the language in this text;5)To help students to develop oral English ability and communicativecompetence.Teaching Procedures1)Lead-in activities2)Cultural Backgrounds3)Text analysis4)Structural analysis5)Language study6)ExercisesLead-in activitiesOpening questions for discussion:1)What grades do you mostly get for the English courses you have been taking? Areyou happy or are you disappointed with the grades you get?2)Imagine yourself to be a teacher and that you are to write a letter to a studentwho is disappointed with the grade he gets. What would you say to him in the letter?Cultural information1. QuoteHistories make men wise; poems witty; the mathematics subtle; natural philosophy deep; moral grave; logic and rhetoric able to contend.— Francis Bacon2. GradesGrades are standardized measurements of varying levels of comprehension within a subject area. Grades can be assigned in letters (for example, A, B, C, D, or F), as a range (for example 4.0 –1.0), as descriptors (excellent, great, satisfactory, needs improvement), in percentages, or, as is common in some post-secondary institutions in some countries, as a Grade Point Average (GPA). The GPA can be used by potential employers or further post-secondary institutions to assess and compare applicants. A Cumulative Grade Point Average is the mean GPA from all academic terms within a given academic year, whereasthe GPA may only refer to one term.3. American Education System vs. Asian Education SystemAmerica is the land of opportunity, which is famous for its democratic society and unique culture. People in America like to be free, to do whatever they want to do without any restrictions. This belief is reflected in the American educational system. In American schools, teachers and students are at the same social level. Students are encouraged to exchange their own opinions with the teacher. From an early age, students in the American educational system have been taught that they have the ability to achieve whatever they want to be, but rarely been told how they can achieve their goal. Because of this belief in natural born ability in the land of opportunity, students receive very little pressure in school, so whatever they do in school is totally based on their personal beliefs. The advantage of this kind of educational system is that, it really develops student’s individual thinking skills, and they are encouraged to try out different options to achieve their goal.Text ILetter to a B StudentRobert OliphantGlobal ReadingI. Text analysis1.What issues does the writer of the letter intend to deal with?How should students regard grades, both good and bad? Are grades as important as they are assumed to be? Do good grades necessarily lead to achievements and bad grades result in failure in a student’s later life?2.What’s the theme of this piece of writing?It is explicitly stated in the first sentence of the third paragraph: to put a B student’s disappointment in perspective by considering exactly what the grade B means and doesn’t mean.II. Structural analysis2. Apart from the first paragraph, the rest of the text falls clearly into three parts, each ofwhich is marked at the beginning by a key word or words. Try to find these key words. Paragraphs 2–5: DisappointmentParagraphs 6-8: The student as performer; the student as human being.Paragraphs 9-10: PerspectiveDetailed ReadingParagraph 1Questions1. What change about grades has the author mentioned briefly?The author has mentioned briefly the change in the way grades are regarded, i.e. the norm has shifted upward.2. What, according to the author, has caused the feeling of disappointment?It has to do with the general social climate where grades determine eligibility for graduate school and special programs. This is why the author says there is nothing he can do to remove the feeling of disappointment.3. Has the author stated his purpose of writing in this paragraph? If yes, what is it? If not, where is it stated in the text?The purpose of writing the letter is not stated in this paragraph. It is not specifically mentioned until the third paragraph.Paragraphs 2-5Questions1. What does the phrase ―put sth. in perspective‖ m ean? (Paragraph 3)It means ―judge the importance of sth. correctly.‖ So what the author wants to do is to show the students how they should regard / view their disappointment correctly.2. How does the author explain the notion of disappointment? (Paragraph 2)Refer to Paragraph 2. Disappointment is a negative feeling. It is the stuff bad dreams are made of. What deserves our attention here is that the author explains disappointment in relation to success.3. How do you interpret the second sentence in Par agraph 2 ―The essence of success is that …‖? (Paragraph 2)There does not exist the situation in which all those who are involved will turn out successful and no one feels disappointed. Wherever there are winners, there are losers.When someone feels happy about his success, someone else may feel disappointed at his failure. In a highly competitive society where the importance of winning is emphasized so much, it is inevitable that those who fail in the competition will feel disappointed.4. Try to find out what a grade means and what it does not mean. (Paragraph 5)It means the successful completion of a specific course at a certain level of proficiency. It is an indication of the student’s performance of some conventional tasks. However, it may not be a truthful indication of the student’s knowledge. It does not represent a judgment of the student’s basic ability or of his character.Paragraphs 6-8QuestionsNow, can you relate the writer’s experience? And discuss the revelation of his story.Paragraphs 9-10Questions1. What is the author’s view concerning social labels? (Paragraph 9)Social labels are on the one hand irrelevant and misleading and on the other hand necessary in a complex society.2. How do you interpret the sentence ―To recognize them i s to recognize that social labelsare basically irrelevant and misleading‖? (Paragraph 9)If we are aware that human beings, despite their apparent differences, are basically identical physically and emotionally, we would think definitely that the social labels used to distinguish them are irrelevant, i.e. meaningless, and misleading, i.e.distorting the fact.3. How does the author relate a student’s academic performance with his future life? (Paragraph 10)While a student’s performance at school may be quite consistent throughout his school years and what he has learned at school may help him after he leaves school, in the long run he will depend much more on himself, i.e. he will have to learn to find his way when traveling in his life path. A grade B student may turn out to be a grade A life achiever.Text IICollege Pressures(Abridged)William ZinsserLead-in QuestionsDo you find college life always exciting? If not, what kind of frustrations do you have?Main IdeaWilliam Zinsser, master of Branford College, points out a widespread phenomenon that students suffer from heavy college pressures due to their fear of failing to achieve any success in the future.Notes1. About the author and the text: William Zinsser was born in 1922 in New York City, and studied at Princeton University. He was a feature writer, film critic, and drama editor for the New York Herald Tribune and later a columnist for Look and Life, and has also written numerous books. In 1971 he took a teaching position in the English department at Yale University. He is the author of the best-selling book On Writing Well: An Informal Guide to Writing Nonfiction (1976).2. They’re trying to find an edge —the intangible something that will lookbetter on paper if two students are about equal.(Paragraph 2) ―Edge‖ here means an advantage over others, as in the expression ―have the edge on/ over,‖ meaning ―be slightly better than someone or something because you have an advantage they do not have.‖ What the dean means is that they try to f ind an advantage over others, i.e. they try to have higher marks on their transcript, so that they will appear to be academically superior to others. This is especially so when two students are more or less the same. But the dean seems to think that marks are not really very reliable and valid indications of the real quality of the students.3. sampling a wide variety of courses(Paragraph 4) taking numerous courses without necessarily going deep into any of them …4. If I were an employer I would rather employ graduates who have this range and curiosity than those who narrowly pursued safe subjects and high grades. (Paragraph 4) If I were an employer, I would employ those students who take all these courses and thus have a wide range of knowledge and are always curious about what is new and unknown; I would not employ those who only take those courses they can safely pass and score high marks.5. But they are equally battered by inflation. (Paragraph 5) But they (the colleges) are as badly affected by inflation as the parents and the students are.6. We are witnessing in America the creation of a brotherhood of paupers —colleges, parents, and students, joined by the common bond of debts. (Paragraph 5) Here in America we find coming into being a union of colleges, parents, and students; what they have in common is that they are all in debt.7. tenacity (Paragraph 7) determination to continue what one is doing8. They are caught in one of the oldest webs of love and duty and guilt.(Paragraph 12) A web is a complicated pattern of connections or relationships.Both the students and their parents find themselves caught in a web: The parents, out of good intention, want their children to take courses which they think are more profitable; the children are not interested in these courses, but they feel they just have to take them, otherwise they would suffer from a sense of guilt because it is their parents who have paid for their education. Such a web has long been in existence in human history, thus ―one of the oldest webs.‖9. Where’s the payoff on the humanities? (Paragraph 12) What financial benefit can studentsget from courses in humanities? ―Humanities‖ are subjects such as history, philosophy, and literature, which are concerned with human ideas and behavior. Such courses do not usually lead immediately to profitable occupations as courses related to law and medicine do.10. self-induced pressure (Paragraph 13) pressure brought on by the students themselves11. The story is symptomatic of all the pressures put together.(Paragraph 15)The story indicates all the pressures combined.Questions for discussion1. How do you interpret the last sentence of the first paragraph ―There are no villains;only victims‖?2. From Zinsser’s quotation of a certain dean in the 2nd paragraph, what idea do you get of the difference between the students in the late 1960s and students of the time when the article was written (presumably in the 1970s–1980s)?3. Why do students, both of those who want to enter graduate schools and those who just want tograduate and get a job, attach so much importance to grades?4. Zinsser obviously holds a different opinion from many of the parents with regard to the courses the students should take. Describe this difference and voice your own opinion.5. According to the text, what mentality underlies peer pressure and self-induced pressure?6. As a college student do you feel any of the four pressures Zinsser has described in the text? Is there any other pressure you feel? Discuss with your classmates the pressure(s) you feel and try to suggest a way ―to break the circles in which you are trapped.‖Key to questions for discussion1. No one is really to blame for the pressures working on college students, not the colleges, or the professors, or the parents, or the students themselves. In fact, they (the colleges, the professors, the parents, and the students) are all victims.2. The students in the late 1960s seemed to be more concerned with what was happening in the world as a whole, and what they could do to make our world a better place to live in. The college students of the time when the article was written were more concerned about their own future and career; they seemed to be more egoistic.3. To both kinds of students, a good transcript will serve as a passport to security. They want their grades to look better so that they can either be enrolled by a graduate school or find a good job.4. Most parents want their sons and daughters to take courses that would lead them to occupationswith a good payoff such as law and medicine. But Zinsser would rather that they took a wide range of courses in the humanities, such as philosophy, history, music, and religion, so that they would become liberally well-educated men and women.5. The mentality that underlies peer pressure and self-induced pressure is the fear ofbeing outshone by one’s fellow students, the fear of appearing inferior.6. Open to discussion.Memorable QuotesWhat do you think are the aims of education? Read the following quotes and find out whether your opinions echo the speakers’.Guidance: The aim of education, as Newman said, is to nurture a person, a good citizen rather than a hero. Education could be a philosophical problem with its social responsibility and responsibility for personal growth.1. Nothing in education is so astonishing as the amount of ignorance it accumulates in theform of inert facts.—Henry AdamsHenry Adams (1838–1918) was an American educator, journalist, historian, and novelist.Paraphrase:It is astonishing that education would only increase a lack of knowledge about the world, if it is about the factual information such as theories, concept and facts regardless of the real application.2. The purpose of education is to replace an empty mind with an open one.—Malcolm ForbesMalcolm Stevenson Forbes (1919–1990) was the publisher of Forbes magazine, today run by his son.Paraphrase: The aim of education is to help one who knows little become receptive to new ideas and more possibilities.。

We boys (there were no girls in the school) were waiting expectantly for the new teacher to appear. Before long, through the door came in a tall, unimpressive-looking man of about 40. He said shyly, “Good afternoon, gentlemen.”His voice had a surprising tone of respect, almost as if he were addressing the Supreme Court instead of a group of youngsters. He wrote his name on the blackboard —Wilmer T. Stone —then sat on the front of his desk, drew one long leg up and grasped his bony knee.“Gentlemen,”he began, “we are here this semester —your last —to continue your study of English. I know we shall enjoy learning with —and from —one another. We are going to learn something about journalism and how to get out your weekly school paper. Most important, we are going to try to really get interested in reading and writing. Those who do, I venture to say, will lead far richer, fuller lives than they would otherwise.”He went on like that, voicing a welcome message of friendliness and understanding. An unexpected feeling of excitement stirred in me.During the term that followed, his enthusiasm spread through us like a contagion. “Don’t be afraid to disagree with me,”he used to say. “It shows you are thinking for yourselves, and that’s what you are here for.”Warming to such confidence, we felt we had to justify it by giving more than our best. And we did.Mr. Stone gave us the greatest gift a teacher can bestow —an awakening of a passion for learning. He had a way of dangling before us part of a story, a literary character or idea, until we were curious and eager for more; then he would cut himself short and say, “But I suppose you have read so-and-so.”When we shook our heads,he would write the title of a book on the blackboard, then turn to us. “There are some books like this one I almost wish I had never read. Many doors to pleasure are closed to me now, but they are all open for you!”The end of the term came much too soon. The morning before graduation day the class suddenly and spontaneously decided to give Mr. Stone a literary send-off that afternoon —a goodbye party withm poems and songs for the occasion.That afternoon when Mr. Stone walked slowly into Room 318 we made him take a seat in the first row. One of the boys, sitting in the teacher’s chair, started off with a poem called “Farewell”; the rest of us were grouped around him. Mr. Stone sat tight-lipped, until toward the end when he slowly turned to the right and then to the left, looking at each of us in turn as if he wanted to register the picture on his mind.When we got to the last chorus of the parody, we saw tears rolling down Mr. Stone’s high cheekbones. He got up and pulled out a handkerchief and blew his nose and wiped his face. “Boys,”he began, and no one even noticed that he wasn’t calling us “men”any more, “we’re not very good, we Americans, at expressing sentiment. But I want to tell you that you have given me something I shall never forget.”Language Points1 Explanation of Difficult Sentences1. (Para. 1) Before long, through the door came in a tall, unimpressive-looking man of about 40.Analysis: The sentence ... through the door came in a tall, unimpressive-looking man of about 40 takes the structure of full S-V inversion. Inversion includes two types: full inversion and partial inversion.Full inversion is usually used in a sentence beginning with an adverbial of place (through the door in this sentence). Inversion is used to emphasize the ending part of the sentence, a tall ... man of about 40 in this case.Translation: 很快，从门口走进一个高高的、40来岁的男子，看上去其貌不扬。

Unit 7 Letter to a B Student Teaching plan综合教程二

Unit 7 Letter to a B StudentTeaching Objectives1)To help students to develop a proper attitude towards grades;2)To help students to know American education system;3)To help students to learn to analyze the text;4)To help students to learn the language in this text;5)To help students to develop oral English ability and communicativecompetence.Teaching Procedures1)Lead-in activities2)Cultural Backgrounds3)Text analysis4)Structural analysis5)Language study6)ExercisesLead-in activitiesOpening questions for discussion:1)What grades do you mostly get for the English courses you have been taking? Areyou happy or are you disappointed with the grades you get?2)Imagine yourself to be a teacher and that you are to write a letter to a studentwho is disappointed with the grade he gets. What would you say to him in the letter?Cultural information1. QuoteHistories make men wise; poems witty; the mathematics subtle; natural philosophy deep; moral grave; logic and rhetoric able to contend.— Francis Bacon2. GradesGrades are standardized measurements of varying levels of comprehension within a subject area. Grades can be assigned in letters (for example, A, B, C, D, or F), as a range (for example 4.0 –1.0), as descriptors (excellent, great, satisfactory, needs improvement), in percentages, or, as is common in some post-secondary institutions in some countries, as a Grade Point Average (GPA). The GPA can be used by potential employers or further post-secondary institutions to assess and compare applicants. A Cumulative Grade Point Average is the mean GPA from all academic terms within a given academic year, whereasthe GPA may only refer to one term.3. American Education System vs. Asian Education SystemAmerica is the land of opportunity, which is famous for its democratic society and unique culture. People in America like to be free, to do whatever they want to do without any restrictions. This belief is reflected in the American educational system. In American schools, teachers and students are at the same social level. Students are encouraged to exchange their own opinions with the teacher. From an early age, students in the American educational system have been taught that they have the ability to achieve whatever they want to be, but rarely been told how they can achieve their goal. Because of this belief in natural born ability in the land of opportunity, students receive very little pressure in school, so whatever they do in school is totally based on their personal beliefs. The advantage of this kind of educational system is that, it really develops student’s individual thinking skills, and they are encouraged to try out different options to achieve their goal.Text ILetter to a B StudentRobert OliphantGlobal ReadingI. Text analysis1.What issues does the writer of the letter intend to deal with?How should students regard grades, both good and bad? Are grades as important as they are assumed to be? Do good grades necessarily lead to achievements and bad grades result in failure in a student’s later life?2.What’s the theme of this piece of writing?It is explicitly stated in the first sentence of the third paragraph: to put a B student’s disappointment in perspective by considering exactly what the grade B means and doesn’t mean.II. Structural analysis2. Apart from the first paragraph, the rest of the text falls clearly into three parts, each ofwhich is marked at the beginning by a key word or words. Try to find these key words. Paragraphs 2–5: DisappointmentParagraphs 6-8: The student as performer; the student as human being.Paragraphs 9-10: PerspectiveDetailed ReadingParagraph 1Questions1. What change about grades has the author mentioned briefly?The author has mentioned briefly the change in the way grades are regarded, i.e. the norm has shifted upward.2. What, according to the author, has caused the feeling of disappointment?It has to do with the general social climate where grades determine eligibility for graduate school and special programs. This is why the author says there is nothing he can do to remove the feeling of disappointment.3. Has the author stated his purpose of writing in this paragraph? If yes, what is it? If not, where is it stated in the text?The purpose of writing the letter is not stated in this paragraph. It is not specifically mentioned until the third paragraph.Paragraphs 2-5Questions1. What does the phrase ―put sth. in perspective‖ m ean? (Paragraph 3)It means ―judge the importance of sth. correctly.‖ So what the author wants to do is to show the students how they should regard / view their disappointment correctly.2. How does the author explain the notion of disappointment? (Paragraph 2)Refer to Paragraph 2. Disappointment is a negative feeling. It is the stuff bad dreams are made of. What deserves our attention here is that the author explains disappointment in relation to success.3. How do you interpret the second sentence in Par agraph 2 ―The essence of success is that …‖? (Paragraph 2)There does not exist the situation in which all those who are involved will turn out successful and no one feels disappointed. Wherever there are winners, there are losers.When someone feels happy about his success, someone else may feel disappointed at his failure. In a highly competitive society where the importance of winning is emphasized so much, it is inevitable that those who fail in the competition will feel disappointed.4. Try to find out what a grade means and what it does not mean. (Paragraph 5)It means the successful completion of a specific course at a certain level of proficiency. It is an indication of the student’s performance of some conventional tasks. However, it may not be a truthful indication of the student’s knowledge. It does not represent a judgment of the student’s basic ability or of his character.Paragraphs 6-8QuestionsNow, can you relate the writer’s experience? And discuss the revelation of his story.Paragraphs 9-10Questions1. What is the author’s view concerning social labels? (Paragraph 9)Social labels are on the one hand irrelevant and misleading and on the other hand necessary in a complex society.2. How do you interpret the sentence ―To recognize them i s to recognize that social labelsare basically irrelevant and misleading‖? (Paragraph 9)If we are aware that human beings, despite their apparent differences, are basically identical physically and emotionally, we would think definitely that the social labels used to distinguish them are irrelevant, i.e. meaningless, and misleading, i.e.distorting the fact.3. How does the author relate a student’s academic performance with his future life? (Paragraph 10)While a student’s performance at school may be quite consistent throughout his school years and what he has learned at school may help him after he leaves school, in the long run he will depend much more on himself, i.e. he will have to learn to find his way when traveling in his life path. A grade B student may turn out to be a grade A life achiever.Text IICollege Pressures(Abridged)William ZinsserLead-in QuestionsDo you find college life always exciting? If not, what kind of frustrations do you have?Main IdeaWilliam Zinsser, master of Branford College, points out a widespread phenomenon that students suffer from heavy college pressures due to their fear of failing to achieve any success in the future.Notes1. About the author and the text: William Zinsser was born in 1922 in New York City, and studied at Princeton University. He was a feature writer, film critic, and drama editor for the New York Herald Tribune and later a columnist for Look and Life, and has also written numerous books. In 1971 he took a teaching position in the English department at Yale University. He is the author of the best-selling book On Writing Well: An Informal Guide to Writing Nonfiction (1976).2. They’re trying to find an edge —the intangible something that will lookbetter on paper if two students are about equal.(Paragraph 2) ―Edge‖ here means an advantage over others, as in the expression ―have the edge on/ over,‖ meaning ―be slightly better than someone or something because you have an advantage they do not have.‖ What the dean means is that they try to f ind an advantage over others, i.e. they try to have higher marks on their transcript, so that they will appear to be academically superior to others. This is especially so when two students are more or less the same. But the dean seems to think that marks are not really very reliable and valid indications of the real quality of the students.3. sampling a wide variety of courses(Paragraph 4) taking numerous courses without necessarily going deep into any of them …4. If I were an employer I would rather employ graduates who have this range and curiosity than those who narrowly pursued safe subjects and high grades. (Paragraph 4) If I were an employer, I would employ those students who take all these courses and thus have a wide range of knowledge and are always curious about what is new and unknown; I would not employ those who only take those courses they can safely pass and score high marks.5. But they are equally battered by inflation. (Paragraph 5) But they (the colleges) are as badly affected by inflation as the parents and the students are.6. We are witnessing in America the creation of a brotherhood of paupers —colleges, parents, and students, joined by the common bond of debts. (Paragraph 5) Here in America we find coming into being a union of colleges, parents, and students; what they have in common is that they are all in debt.7. tenacity (Paragraph 7) determination to continue what one is doing8. They are caught in one of the oldest webs of love and duty and guilt.(Paragraph 12) A web is a complicated pattern of connections or relationships.Both the students and their parents find themselves caught in a web: The parents, out of good intention, want their children to take courses which they think are more profitable; the children are not interested in these courses, but they feel they just have to take them, otherwise they would suffer from a sense of guilt because it is their parents who have paid for their education. Such a web has long been in existence in human history, thus ―one of the oldest webs.‖9. Where’s the payoff on the humanities? (Paragraph 12) What financial benefit can studentsget from courses in humanities? ―Humanities‖ are subjects such as history, philosophy, and literature, which are concerned with human ideas and behavior. Such courses do not usually lead immediately to profitable occupations as courses related to law and medicine do.10. self-induced pressure (Paragraph 13) pressure brought on by the students themselves11. The story is symptomatic of all the pressures put together.(Paragraph 15)The story indicates all the pressures combined.Questions for discussion1. How do you interpret the last sentence of the first paragraph ―There are no villains;only victims‖?2. From Zinsser’s quotation of a certain dean in the 2nd paragraph, what idea do you get of the difference between the students in the late 1960s and students of the time when the article was written (presumably in the 1970s–1980s)?3. Why do students, both of those who want to enter graduate schools and those who just want tograduate and get a job, attach so much importance to grades?4. Zinsser obviously holds a different opinion from many of the parents with regard to the courses the students should take. Describe this difference and voice your own opinion.5. According to the text, what mentality underlies peer pressure and self-induced pressure?6. As a college student do you feel any of the four pressures Zinsser has described in the text? Is there any other pressure you feel? Discuss with your classmates the pressure(s) you feel and try to suggest a way ―to break the circles in which you are trapped.‖Key to questions for discussion1. No one is really to blame for the pressures working on college students, not the colleges, or the professors, or the parents, or the students themselves. In fact, they (the colleges, the professors, the parents, and the students) are all victims.2. The students in the late 1960s seemed to be more concerned with what was happening in the world as a whole, and what they could do to make our world a better place to live in. The college students of the time when the article was written were more concerned about their own future and career; they seemed to be more egoistic.3. To both kinds of students, a good transcript will serve as a passport to security. They want their grades to look better so that they can either be enrolled by a graduate school or find a good job.4. Most parents want their sons and daughters to take courses that would lead them to occupationswith a good payoff such as law and medicine. But Zinsser would rather that they took a wide range of courses in the humanities, such as philosophy, history, music, and religion, so that they would become liberally well-educated men and women.5. The mentality that underlies peer pressure and self-induced pressure is the fear ofbeing outshone by one’s fellow students, the fear of appearing inferior.6. Open to discussion.Memorable QuotesWhat do you think are the aims of education? Read the following quotes and find out whether your opinions echo the speakers’.Guidance: The aim of education, as Newman said, is to nurture a person, a good citizen rather than a hero. Education could be a philosophical problem with its social responsibility and responsibility for personal growth.1. Nothing in education is so astonishing as the amount of ignorance it accumulates in theform of inert facts.—Henry AdamsHenry Adams (1838–1918) was an American educator, journalist, historian, and novelist.Paraphrase:It is astonishing that education would only increase a lack of knowledge about the world, if it is about the factual information such as theories, concept and facts regardless of the real application.2. The purpose of education is to replace an empty mind with an open one.—Malcolm ForbesMalcolm Stevenson Forbes (1919–1990) was the publisher of Forbes magazine, today run by his son.Paraphrase: The aim of education is to help one who knows little become receptive to new ideas and more possibilities.。

For example, we can predict that "If my brother crashes the car tonight, my mother will be furi ous.” Type 2 conditionalType 2 conditional refers to present and future situations. It is used to talk about unreal—impossible, improbable or imaginary—situations. It refers to an unlikely or hypothetical condition and its probable result.Type 2 conditional consists of two clauses, one with if + subject + simple past verb and the second with subject + would + verb, as in, “I would buy a big house if I had a million dollars.”Step 3 Doing exercisesThen ask students to finish these exercises. Check their work when they finish. Try to encourage students to explain the answers by themselves. The teacher is supposed to offer some explanations where necessary.plete the sentences with the correct form of the verbs in the brackets.Ask students to fill the gaps with the correct form of verbs according to Type 1 conditional. Ask for class feedback when they finish.B.Who would say these things, A or B?Remind students that these statements are not based on facts.e the cues below to write Type 2 conditional. The first one has been done as an example. Ask students to think of the Type 2 situations in which the statements would be appropriate.Step 4 Vocabulary building: words to do with computerThis section aims to expand students’computer-related vocabulary by forming compounds and collocations.With the development of computer technology, many new words related to computer are created by way of combination, which has greatly enlarged the English vocabulary.1、词义转移、引申许多计算机英语词汇从普通英语中转移过来,词义转移或引申是构建计算机英语词汇的一种常见的方法。

Pre-reading questions for discussionDiscuss and answer the following questions.1.What ,in your opinion,are the disadvantages of growing older?2. What do you think are the virtues of being young?3.Most people are afraid of death and therefore afraid of getting older,but are there any virtues of old age that you can observe and appreciate?Step II. An Integrated Analysis of Text 1The Virtues of Growing Older.Structural analysis of the text1. The passage can be divided into three parts.Part One: (Paragraph 1-2 ) this is the introductory paragraphIt tells that our society worships youth and being young is often pleasant ,but being older has distinct advantages.Part Two: (Paragraph 3-5) It describes the virtues of growing older in details:We no longer feel anxious about what others will think ;We have already made many of critical decisions;The greatest benefit of being older is knowing who i am.Part Three:（Paragraph 6）this is a conclusion paragraphThe writer winds up her discussion with a reference to her parents’ contentments in the last paragraph.Step III. Comprehension questionsAnalysis of Paragraghs1-21)Why do people want to hide their gray hair and delay the effect of aging? They worship youth and are afraid of growing older, so they try every means to look young.2)What does the writer mean when she says “it is un-American to say so”?She means these questions seem contrary to the values commonly held by most American people. And the American people would do anything possible to delay aging.3)Does the writer deny the virtues of being young?No, she does not. The writer admits the virtues of being young, but what she really wants to talk about is those advantages of growing older, which are discussed in the subsequent paragraphs. So the last sentence of the second paragraph is both thematic and transitionalParagraph 3AnalysisThe writer, in this paragraph, offers the first advantage of growing older －not being obsessed with one’s appearance. It can be noticed that the technique of contrast is used to project the difference between adolescents and people in their forties:“When my brother Dave and I were teens…”“When Dave and I were young…”“Now, however, Dave and I are beyond such adolescent agonies.”“Now my clothes are attractive yet easy to wear.”“We no longer feel anxious…”These contrasts are focused on two aspects: the shape of their bodies and clothes. With her own experience, the writer drives home her point that adolescents “feel anxious about what others will think”, while older people are happy “as long as we feel good about how we look”.The following question could be asked:1)What is the change in people’s attitude towards their appearance from the writer’s own experience?Old people no longer feel anxious about what others will think. As long as they feel good about what they look, they are happy.Paragraph 4AnalysisThe second advantage is discussed in this paragraph －people in their forties are less uncertain than adolescents. The last sentence pinpoints the writer’s view: what truly worries the young people is not the problem of age, but the unknowns in the future.The following question could be asked:Is it accurate to say that older people are totally free from uncertainty?No, because they still have important choices to make. However, they have already made their major ones, while the young people will meet theirs at every turn. Paragraph 5AnalysisThis paragraph presents the third and the greatest benefit of growing older: the knowledge about yourself (the self-identity). It is implied that lack of this knowledge can bring about a kind of adolescent insanity (in contrast with the sanity of forty-year-olds) expressed in parallel structures “It means…”, “Being young means…”The following questions could be asked:1)What is the meaning of “…wishing you were never born the next”?It is related with first half of the sentence and the complete one should be “feeling happy with yourself one day and wishing you were never born the next day (because you feel so miserable)”.2)How to explain the phrase “keep a running score of everything they didwrong raising me”?It means “constantly reminding yourself of all the unhappy things that your parents did to you in the process of raising you”. Here “score” means “record”Language points.Paragraph 6After sharing her own experience in contrast to adolescents’ problems with the reader, in this paragraph the writer turns to the issue similar to the one mentioned in the first paragraph: the validity of American values on the aging problem. The writer cites her parents’ example to back her view, thus echoing the theme －distinct advantages of growing older makes a better phase of life.Step IV Language points:1.convince v.1)convince sb / yourself (of sth) to make sb/yourself believe that sth is truee.g. you’ll need to convince them of your enthusiasm fo r the job.I’d convinced myself (that) I was right.2) to persuade sb to do sthe.g. I’ve been trying to convince him to see a doctor.2.…glaldly sign with the devil just to be young again: Literally, the phrase “signwith the devil” means “to sign a contract with the devil, so that the devil would help you become young again”.

Section 3 Language in use: emotional emphasisStep 1 test your grammarHave students do Exercise A. They may find it difficult when doing the first few sentences. Give them time to think so that they can find out the answers by themselves. Brief discussion will help them understand this grammar point better.A.Look at the sentences and underline the words or expressions that express emotionalemphasis.B.What are the main ways of giving emphasis? Discuss with your classmates.Divide students into groups and encourage them to brainstorm the main ways of giving emphasis in English.Step 2 illumination and developmentBriefly explain the grammatical knowledge of the uses of “emotional emphasis”. Then ask students to finish these exercises. Check their work when they finish.Being used for communication between people, English Language often expresses theemotions and attitudes of the speaker and it is often used to influence the attitudes and behavior of the hearer.There are many ways of giving emotional emphasis:2. Exclamatory Sentences:➢感叹词（以及副词、形容词）表示的感叹句：Alas! 哎呀!Oh! 啊!哦!哎哟!Well! 好啦!Why! 什么（话）！嗯！岂有此理！好好！Excellent! 好极了！➢短语表示的感叹句：Dear me! 哎呀！Great Heavens! 天哪！My goodness! 嗳呀！None of your nonsense! 不要胡扯了！➢从句表示的感叹句：(1) As if it were my fault! 好像是我的过错似的!(2) To think a scandal of this sort should be goingon under my roof! 真想不到这种丑事竟然出在我们家里!➢表语表示的感叹句：(1) Just my luck! 唉，又倒霉了!(2) Sorry，my mistake! 对不起，是我的错!➢How用于感叹句的几种句型：How＋形容词How lovely! 多可爱啊!How nice! 多好啊!How kind of you! 您好客气!How＋形容词＋主语＋谓语How tall she is! 她个子多高啊!How fond he was of it! 他多么喜欢它啊!How＋副词＋主语＋谓语How well George writes! 乔治写得多好啊!How beautifully she sings! 她唱歌唱得多美啊!How＋主语＋谓语How he ran! 他跑得多快啊!How they shout! 他们叫喊得多厉害呀!How＋形容词（＋名词）＋谓语＋主语(1) How strange and impressive was life! 人生是多么奇妙动人啊!(2) How precise and thorough are her observations!她的观察是多么准确和透彻啊!(3) For how many years have I waited! 我等了多少年呀!➢What用于感叹句的几种句型：●What＋a/an/the＋名词What a fool! 真是个傻瓜!What a pity! 真是遗憾!What the heck/dickens!（你讲的）什么玩意啊!●What＋名词What luck! 多幸运啊!What fun! 多么好玩啊!●What＋（a/an）＋形容词＋名词What funny stories! 多么好笑的故事!What terrible luck! 太不走运了!What a rotten day! 多倒霉的一天!● What＋ a/an＋形容词＋名词（＋主语）＋谓语What an enormous crowd came! 来了多么大的一群人呀!●What＋名词＋主语＋谓语What lovely flowers those are! 那些花多美啊!Step 3 Doing exercisesThen ask students to finish these exercises. Check their work when they finish. Try to encourage students to explain the answers by themselves. The teacher is supposed to offer some explanations where necessary.A.Match a word in Column A with a sentence or a part of a sentence in Column B to from anew sentence.B.Fill in the blank with the words or expressions below.Step 4 Vocabulary building: Compound word (4)The adjective compound “problem-solving” in the text is formed by a noun “problem” and a verb plus-ing “solving”. Many other examples of this type can be found in English.Explain this grammatical phenomenon with examples. Then ask students to finish exercises by themselves and check when they finish. Try to encourage students to explain the answers by themselves. The teacher is supposed to offer some explanations where necessary.A.Match a word in column A with a word in column B to form an adjective compound.Work out their meanings.B.Fill in the blanks with the compound adjectives in exercise A.Section 4: Project: How different are boys and girls in learning English?This research helps students know more about the differences between learning strategies used by boys and girls. By doing the research, students can learn useful methods for English learning from their classmates. Ask students to do the research by following the steps given. Give them enough time to present their research findings.It is found that boys and girls tend to use different strategies in learning English. Do a class survey and see how different they are. You may follow the following steps:Step 1 Work in groups. Each member of your group should interview at least five boy students and five girl students from your own or other classes (Remember each student should be interviewed only once), and make a list of about 10 pieces of information about the way each student learns English.Step 2 Return to your group and put all the information together. List different learning strategies used by boys and girls. Select five common ways for each.Step 3 Write a report about the differences between the strategies used by boys and girls.Step 4 Present your report to the whole class, and see how different your research findings are from those of other groups.Section Five Extension and Cultural TipsPart 1 Extension: Understanding the differences between men and womenThis text shows the difference between men and women from a physical and psychological points of view. Let students read the text. Give them necessary help if they have language problems. When they finish, ask them to do the discussion and the writing exercise.As the goal of equality between men and women now grows closer, the vision of equality between men and women has narrowed the possibilities for discovery of what truly exists within a man and within a woman. The world is less interesting when everything is the same. My view is that men and women are equal but different. When I say equal, I mean that men and women have a right to equal opportunity and protection under the law. However, I have also observed that men and women are at least as different psychologically as they are physically.Step 1 let the students read the text and finish the comprehension questions Divide students into groups and have them have brief discussions. Encourage them to generate their own ideas based on their understanding of the text. Let them share opinions with other students. And then ask volunteers from every group to express their ideas.1.According to the writer, men and women are equal but different, in what ways does theauthor think men and women are equal? And in what ways are they different?2.Do you agree with the writer’s idea on the differences between men and women? What’syour opinion?3.The writer thinks that many problems arise when we expect or assume the opposite sexshould think, feel or act the way we do. How do you understand this?Step 2 language points illuminationAsk students to list and illuminate the new words and complicated sentences which they think are important. The teacher is supposed to give help and guide where necessary.Step 3 writingWrite a summary of the article in about 100 wordsSummary writing is a good way to see if students have got a real understanding of the text. The following are some tips for summary writing:● A summary is a shorter passage including only the main points●When you summarize, you compress large amounts of information into the fewestpossible sentences.●In order to do this, you include only the main points and main supporting points, leavingout the details.●You must not change the original meaningsHave students finish this task on the class or leave it as homework for them to finish after the class. The teacher should encourage students to add their own viewpoints in it to expand it to a long article if possible.Part 2 cultural tips: Why do women live longer than men?Step 1 introduce the topic and have students brainstormAsk students to read the text and list the reasons why women tend to live longer than men. Students can brainstorm other reasons and have a brief discussion on this topic. Remind students that a healthy lifestyle can increase life expectancy.Step 2 additional materialIntroduce the material as a class, then ask them to make a brief discussion on how to extent men’s life expectancy.Across the industrialized world, women still live 5 to 10 years longer than men. Among people over 100 years old, 85% are women, according to Tom Perls, founder of the New England Centenarian Study at Boston University and creator of the website .One important reason is that women develop cardiovascular disease, like heart attack and stroke, usually in their 70s and 80s, about 10 years later than men, who develop them in their 50s and 60s.Another more complicated possibility is that women have two X chromosomes, while men have one. (Men have an X and a Y.) So, in women, cells can perhaps be protected by a slightly better variation of a gene on the second X chromosome. Men don't have this luxury and don't get this choice.There are a few other reasons that men die earlier in lifemore often than women.●Men in their late teens and 20s go through something called "testosterone storm." Thelevels of the hormone can be quite high and changeable, and that can induce some pretty dangerous behavior among young men. They don't wear their seatbelts; they drink too much alcohol; they can be aggressive with weapons and so on and so forth. These behaviors lead to a higher death rate.●Another area where we see higher death rates among men is among the depressed —especially older men. If they attempt suicide, they are more likely to succeed than women.About 70% of the variation around average life expectancy is probably attributable to environmental factors — your behaviors and your exposures.●Men smoke a lot more.●Men eat more food that leads to high cholesterol.●Men tend not to deal with their stress as well as women. They may be more prone tointernalizing that stress rather than letting go.。
