Minor Connectors
• My hometown is famous for several amazing natural features. First, it is noted for the Wheaton River, which is very wide and beautiful. On either side of this river, which is 175 feet wide, are many willow trees which have long branches that can move gracefully in the wind. In autumn the leaves of these trees fall and cover the riverbanks like golden snow. Second, on the other side of the town is Wheaton Hill, which is unusual because it is very steep. Even though it is steep, climbing this hill is not dangerous, because there are some firm rocks along the sides that can be used as stairs. There are no trees around this hill, so it stands clearly against the sky and can be seen from many miles away. The third amazing feature is the Big Old Tree. This tree stands two hundred feet tall and is probably about six hundred years old. These three landmarks are truly amazing and make my hometown a famous place. • What about the other words in bold, such as those appearing in the phrases "these trees" and "this hill"? We can call these minor connectors. Minor connectors provide coherence to a paragraph by connecting sentences within each of the main parts of your paragraph. That is, when you write about your main points, you can use minor connectors to link your details to each main point.

Are there figures—people?What are they doing?Or is it a landscape…or an abstract representation of something?Tell what the subject is,and what aspects are emphasized in the painting.This will give your reader an overview of what the work looks like before you analyze it.The next part of your paper—the actual formal analysis—will be the longest and most important section of your paper,where you describe and analyze individual design elements.For this portion of the paper,you're going to rely on the notes you took at the museum,because you should be able to describe in detail the design elements the artist uses,and how they are used.For example,does the artist use harsh lines or soft lines—are the colors bright or muted?Focus on the design elements that you feel are most strongly represented in that particular work of art. And if you don't know where to begin,take note of where your eye goes first.Then describe things in the order in which your eye moves around the work.This will help you understand how one part relates to another—the interaction between the different parts of the work.OK,this kind of analysis should occur throughout the main portion of the paper.In the last section of your paper—and this goes beyond formal analysis—you comment on the significance of what you have seen.What details of the work convey meaning?Some significant details will not be apparent to you right away,but if you look long enough,you realize how important they are for your interpretation of the work.Many years ago,I was writing a formal analysis of a painting of a little boy.In the painting,a little boy was standing in his nursery,and he was holding a toy bird in his hand,and there were more toys around him in the background of the painting. Because of the bird he was holding,I assumed at first that the painting was about the innocence of children.But as I looked at the painting longer,I realized that the boy's eyes looked sad even though there was no discernable expression on his face.And then it dawned on me that,even though he was surrounded by toys,he was all alone in his nursery.The boy's eyes were a significant detail in the painting,that I didn't notice at first.题目1.What point does the professor make about the writing of a formal analysis in art history?A.Its objective is to identify common features of several works of art.B.Its most important part is the explanation of an artwork's significance.C.Several styles of writing a formal analysis are used by art historians.D.A particular approach is required to present Information about an artwork.2.According to the professor,what will students need to do before writing the art history paper?A.Look at examples of formal analysis in textbooksB.Take notes on the artwork they will write aboutC.Go to different museums before selecting a topic for the paperD.Study the historical context of the artwork they will write about3.Why does the professor mention an English class?A.To explain the difference between visual language and written languageB.To explain that students need good writing skills for their assignmentC.To point out similarities between a poetry paper and the students'assignmentD.To point out that many art historians become writers4.What does the professor recommend as a way to understand the relationship between different parts of an artwork?A.Looking for lines that connect different parts of the workB.Examining the artwork from several different anglesC.Looking for similar colors the artist used throughout the workD.Determining how the viewer's eyes move around the work5.Why does the professor talk about his own experience analyzing the painting of a little boy?A.To point out a common misconception about formal analysisB.To stress the importance of looking at an artwork thoroughlyC.To show why a formal analysis should not emphasize small detailsD.To provide an example of an artwork that is easy to analyze6.The professor describes three sections the art history paper should contain.Place them in the order in which they should appear in the paper.Click on a phrase.Then drag it to the space where it belongs.A.Analysis of the design elements the artist usesB.Discussion of the meaning of the artworkC.Summary of the appearance of the artwork答案D B C D B CAB译文旁白:下面听一段艺术史课程的片段。

2)连贯性法则(coherence rule)
诺德将连贯法则分为文内连贯(intratextual coherence)和文际连贯(intertextual coherence)。 所谓文内连贯是指“目标语文本应该要可接受和有 意义,即目标语文本与接收环境连贯一致。‘与... 连贯’与接收者的环境和文化‘的一部分’同 义。”(Nord,2001:32)而文际连贯又称忠诚原则, 是指“以目的论为指向的翻译框架下的原文文本与 目标文本之间的关系。”
交际理论学派
奈达是交际翻译理论的代表。他的翻译理论可归纳为 六个方面:(1)理论原则。所有语言都具有同等表 达能力,而翻译的首要任务就是使读者看译文可一目 了然。(2)翻译的性质。按照奈达的定义,“所谓 翻译,是指从语义到文体(风格)在译语中用最切近 而又最自然的对等语再现原语的信息”。其中三点是 关键:一是“顺乎自然”,译文不能有翻译腔;二是 “最切近”,在“自然”的基础上选择意义与原文最 接近的译文;三是“对等”,这是核心。所以,翻译 必须达到四个标准:(a)达意;(b)传神;(c) 措词通顺自然;(d)读者反应相似。
但是正如人们正愈益深刻地认识到的那样,翻译活 动决不仅仅是一种语言文字的转换操作,它在本质 上是一种特殊的语际交流活动,涉及到一系列的超 语言范畴,涉及到语言外其他的文化系统。语言学 派的弱点就在于它只注重原文和译文在语言上的对 等,而忽视了话语的交际功能以及翻译活动与社会 文化之间的关系,有见树不见林之虞。(近二十年 来语言学派开始注重研究话语层面上的等值问题, 在一定程度上弥补了早期研究的缺陷。)

Technical Writing
Tools for producing tech. doc.
Desktop publishing tools or word processors. Word processors such as Microsoft Word, Apple Pages, and Open Office are used by technical writers to author, edit, design, and print documents. Since technical writing is as much about the page’s layout as it is the written language, Desktop Publishing tools such as Adobe FrameMaker and LyX are also used. These programs function similarly to word processors but provide users with more options and features for the document’s design and automate much of the formatting. Help authoring tools are used to create the help systems that are packaged with software products, delivered through web browsers or provided as files users can view on their computers. When writing instructional procedures for complex programs or systems, technical writers will use these tools to assist them and simplify the process. Adobe RoboHelp, MadCap Flare, Author-it and HelpNDoc are a few examples of Help Authoring Tools. Image editing software. Image editing software like Adobe Photoshop and GIMP are used to create and edit the visual aspects of documents. Collaborative software programs. Because technical writing often involves communication between multiple individuals who work for different companies, it can be a collaborative affair.[41] Thus, technical writers use Wiki Systems like MediaWiki and Atlassian Confluence and shared document workspaces like Microsoft SharePoint and Google Docs to work with other writers and parties to construct technical documents.

VII. Thesis statement
A thesis statement, also called the statement of the
problem, or the thesis sentence, usually states or suggests the research subject or the main topic. Making the thesis statement will help you to focus on the research topic and to avoid reading unrelated materials and writings that are of little or no relevance to your research topic.
One thing should be pointed out is that as your writing progresses, your thesis statement may change, it can change in one way or another when you try to narrow down or broaden your research topic.
Secondary research is often called documentary or library research. It is a kind of study that makes use of data in documents, books, and journals. These data have been collected by other people for their own purposes. Therefore, secondary research consists of summarizing previous studies, reviewing the literature in a given area, and synthesizing the research undertaken by others.

The Advantages and Disadvantages of Private TutoringA recent investigation shows that private tutoring is “in”and that about 80% of pupils have private tutors. While private tutoring has both advantages and disadvantages, I feel that the disadvantages are greater.Such a popular practice indicates that people are attaching greater importance to education. Many parents, for various reasons, missed the chance of obtaining a good education. When their children meet with difficulties in study, they are helpless. Private tutoring is the only solution. As privatetutoring is usually one-to-one, the teacher knows the strength and the weakness of the pupil; and the teaching is, in most cases, directly to the point. Private tutoring benefits a lot of pupils, indeed.While on the other hand, private tutoring has its own disadvantages. For one thing, it takes up so much of the pupil’s time that they can hardly find enough time for rest and entertainment, which are essential for their physical and mental health. For another, some teachers, busy “shuttling”from one family to another, tend to neglect their regular teaching duties. What is more, some teachers are eager to help pupils do well on the test, offering the so-called tips for test-taking rather than help them acquire what is most needed.Generally speaking, the disadvantages outweigh the advantages. Greater emphasis should be laid on classroom teaching and practice, on the improvement of teaching quality and on the tapping of the pupil’spotentialities. Only in this way can a new generation be healthily brought up.5. resources:1) Nowadays anything of our world can not work without high technology, but different people have different opinons on high-tech. 2) Some people welcome any kind of high technology because they think high tech can make our life more wonderful. People can build new machines that help them to do many things. Those machines can save manpower, can save endless time and make our work easier.3) Other people hesitate to acknowledge the idea of high-tech because they think high tech brings us not only the perfect life, but also a great many problems.4) Hackers steal secret information from the government through Internet and even modify it.5) Computer and Internet make many people stay in front of computer screens all day andcut off the contact with others in the real world.6) My view is that we should welcome the high tech because without it, we cannot develop. But meanwhile, we have to confine its disadvantages to the lowest level and utilize its advantages in our daily life.7) Computer is undoubtedly a great invention, but one of its main faults is that it has been a big distraction to people.8) for one thing, it is a big time-waster; many people watch computer screens for several hours every day. Some people are addicted to it, turning it on at 7 am and leaving it until midnight.9) secondly, computer has killed people’s own creativity. Though a lot of programs are rather instructive and introduce people to things they may never have thought of before, computer owners do not actively participate in active activities.10) Finally, parents and teachers are concernedabout the effect of Internet violence on children. Even though they are watching children’s programs, they are still confronted with scenes of violence and terror. Whether this constant exposure to violence encourages children to act more violently is not certain, yet the situation is dangerous because it teaches children to accept violence as a natural part of life.11) Yet computer is certainly a great wonder of science and technology. The best solution, I think, is to be selective, not to indulge in it.。

With the advanced science and technology, boom economy rising from society industries that emerge numerously and scope expanded, thus bustling city and more work opportunities attract people pushing there, especially lived in remote village farmers. It reports about 230 million from the countryside to cities.As a result, one hand they devoted themselves to the city and brought economy developed to cities and life improvement to their own families. On the other hand, this migration leaves land in the countryside uncultivated and children of migrant workers poorly educated. One coin has two sides, it is no exception. How to deal the phenomenon well to promote our country developed in equilibrium. This issue has became a major concern for our society, government policy decisions most crucial to migration, if they offer a navigated positive policy such as agriculture guidance, business training, mechanized production, to develop their hometown by their advantages. If large mass immigration has left, large land was collected like American farm to mechanized operating, and government should offer a sound education system to solve the children poor education to eliminate parents' worry. Above motioned suggestions just depend on my views. We should to draw on collective wisdomand absorb all useful ideas.

Task 2 Rewrite the following by putting the short sentences into compound or complete sentences, or sentences with participial, prepositional, or other phrases: 1. Xu comes from a working-class family. He enrolled in college last fall. 2. The dean issued a bulletin. It said the library would remain open on weekends. 3. Last night was a wide night. The thunder roared. The wind blew a gale. The rain fell in night. 4. There are icicles on the trees. The temperature must have fallen considerably during the night.
To Americans, industriousness, thrift, and ambition are positive values. We encourage our children to be competitive, to get ahead, to make money, to acquire possessions. In games and in business alike the aim is to win the game, the trophy, the contract. We go in for laborsaving devices, gadgets, speed, and short-cut. We think every young couple should set up a home of their own, and we pity the couple who must share their home with a parent, let alone with other relatives. Actually, of course, not all Americans hold all these values, and those who do may hold other, and at times contradictory, values that affect their ways of behaving. In the main, however, the collective expectation of our society is that these are desirable goals, and the individual, whatever his personal inclination, is under considerable pressure to conform.
Complete Sentences and Sentence Fragments
• Attributes and adverbials, though they are not essential elements of a sentence, help to make the meaning clear or complete: He came to the classroom very early. Dr. Smith is a well-known professor of physics. • A complete sentence begins with a capital letter and ends with a period. This simple rule is important for Chinese learners to remember, for in Chinese writing commas may be used to separate complete sentences.
Types of sentences
