2。 Detailed understanding of the text

Read the text again and answer the following questions。

1） Why does the son think that his father is a tedious oddity？

Because he is tired of listening to his father and he is not interested in grammar rules。

2) Why does the author think that students’ language deficits should be blamed on schools?

Because the schools fail to set high standards of language proficiency。They only teach a little grammar and less advanced vocabulary。 And the younger teachers themselves have little knowledge of the vital structures of language.

3） What does the father teach the son while giving him a grammar lesson？ He familiarized his son with different parts of speech in a sentence and discussed their specific grammatical functions including how to use adverbs to describe verbs。

4) What are the two things that the author uses to describe grammar and vocabulary？

The author uses “road map" and “car” to describe gra mmar and vocabulary. Here, “road map” is considered as grammar and “car" as vocabulary。

5）How do you understand the interjection “whoa！” said by the father toward the end of the text?

Since the subjunctive mood his son used is a fairly advanced grammar structure，the interjection “whoa!” reflects the tremendous pride the father had toward his son; it also reflects the author’s humor in using the word because it was once used by his student， though in two different situations and with two different feelings.

they like.

English grammar helps a lot:

●Order sentences correctly.

English grammar is of little help:

●Only give rules that are hard to remember.

●It is not helpful in a real—life setting due to the limited time to

think and recall the rules。
