大一英语第二单元作文

大一英语第二单元作文Mastering the English language is a fundamental aspect of academic and professional success in today's globalized world. As a freshman student enrolled in an English course, the second unit of the curriculum presents an opportunity to delve deeper into the art of composition and refine one's writing skills. This essay will explore the key elements of effective English composition, highlighting the importance of organization, coherence, and attention to detail.Organization is the backbone of any well-written piece. A clear and logical structure guides the reader through the author's ideas, ensuring a seamless flow of information. In the context of English composition, this translates to a well-crafted introduction, body paragraphs that develop the main points, and a concise conclusion that ties everything together. The introduction should capture the reader's attention, provide relevant background information, and present a clear thesis statement that outlines the essay's central argument. The body paragraphs should then systematically support the thesis, using evidence, analysis, and examples to substantiate the key points. Finally, the conclusion should reinforce the main ideas,leaving the reader with a lasting impression and a sense of closure.Closely linked to organization is the concept of coherence. Coherence refers to the logical connections and transitions between ideas, ensuring that the essay reads as a cohesive whole. Effective use of transitional phrases, such as "furthermore," "in addition," and "on the other hand," can help the reader navigate the essay and understand the relationships between different concepts. Additionally, maintaining a consistent tone, voice, and perspective throughout the piece contributes to its overall coherence.Attention to detail is another essential aspect of English composition. This includes adherence to grammar, spelling, and punctuation rules, as well as the appropriate use of language and vocabulary. Grammatical errors, such as subject-verb disagreement or improper verb tense, can undermine the credibility of the writer and distract the reader from the content. Similarly, misspelled words and incorrect punctuation can hinder the reader's understanding and create an impression of carelessness. By proofreading and editing one's work, the writer can ensure that the final product is polished and professional.Beyond the technical aspects of composition, effective English writing also requires a strong grasp of rhetorical strategies and the ability to engage the reader. This involves the skillful use ofpersuasive techniques, such as appealing to logic (logos), emotion (pathos), and credibility (ethos). A well-crafted essay should not only present a clear argument but also anticipate and address counterarguments, demonstrating the writer's depth of understanding and critical thinking skills.Equally important is the ability to write with clarity and concision. Verbose or convoluted language can obscure the writer's message and frustrate the reader. By using precise and straightforward language, the writer can convey complex ideas in a manner that is easy to understand. This may involve the strategic use of active voice, varied sentence structures, and the elimination of unnecessary words or phrases.In the context of the second unit of a freshman English course, the focus may shift towards more advanced writing techniques, such as the incorporation of research and the analysis of scholarly sources. This requires the ability to effectively integrate outside information into one's own writing, while maintaining a cohesive and coherent narrative. Proper citation of sources, both in-text and in a reference list, is also crucial to demonstrate academic integrity and avoid plagiarism.Furthermore, the second unit may also emphasize the importance of audience awareness. Effective writers understand that the tone,language, and level of formality should be tailored to the intended audience. This may involve adjusting the writing style for different contexts, such as an academic essay, a professional report, or a personal narrative.Throughout the process of English composition, it is essential for students to engage in regular feedback and revision. By seeking input from instructors, peers, and writing centers, students can identify areas for improvement and refine their writing skills. The act of revision allows writers to clarify their ideas, strengthen their arguments, and polish the overall quality of their work.In conclusion, the second unit of a freshman English course provides an invaluable opportunity for students to deepen their understanding of effective English composition. By focusing on organization, coherence, attention to detail, rhetorical strategies, and audience awareness, students can develop the necessary skills to produce well-written, engaging, and impactful essays. As they progress through their academic and professional careers, these foundational writing skills will continue to serve them well, enabling them to communicate their ideas with clarity, precision, and confidence.。

U2B2iExplore 1Try IT OutBefore learning this unit, you might have some knowledge of how to give a presentation. Look at the following task, please take some notes and try it out.Giving a presentation: A comparison between Chinese and Western paintings● Talking about Mona Lisa, what pops out first in your mind? And in your opinion, what makes it such an influential piece?● What is your knowledge of Chinese painting, its subj ect matter, painting techniques, painting tools, and art perceptions?● What are the similarities or / and differences between Chinese and Western paintings in the aspects mentioned above? You can choose one of them and develop your ideas.● Why do such si milarities or / and differences exist between Chinese and Western paintings?Demystifying Mona LisaE. H. Gombrich1 There is a work of Leonardo's which is perhaps even more famous than The Last Supper.2 It is the portrait of a Florentine lady whose name was Lisa, "Mona Lisa." A fame as great as that of Leonardo's Mona Lisa is not an unmixed blessing for a work of art. We become so used to seeing it on picture postcards, and even advertisements, that we find it difficult to see it with fresh eyes as the painting by a real man portraying a real woman of flesh and blood. But it is worthwhile to forget what we know, or believe we know, about the picture, and to look at it as if we were the first people ever to set eyes on it.3 What strikes us first is the amazing degree to which Lisa looks alive. She really seems to look at us and to have a mind of her own. Like a living being, she seems to change before our eyes and to looka little different every time we come back to her. Even in photographs of the picture we experience this strange effect, but in front of the original in the Louvre it is almost uncanny. Sometimes she seems to mock us, and then again we seem to catch something like sadness in her smile. All this sounds rather mysterious, and so it is; that is so often the effect of a great work of art. Nevertheless, Leonardo certainly knew how he achieved this effect, and by what means.4 That great observer of nature knew more about the way we use our eyes than anybody who had ever lived before him.He had clearly seen a problem which the conquest of nature had posed to artists — a problem no less intricate than the one of combining correct drawing with a harmonious composition. The great works of the Italian Quattrocento masters who followed the lead given by Masaccio have one thing in common: Their figures look somewhat hard and harsh, almost wooden. The strange thing is that it clearly is not lack of patience or lack of knowledge that is responsible for this effect. No one could be more patient in his imitation of nature than Van Eyck; no one could know more about correct drawing and perspective than Mantegna. And yet, for all the grandeur and impressiveness of their representations of nature, their figures look more like statues than any living being. The reason may be that the more conscientiously we copy a figure line by line and detail by detail, the less we can imagine that it ever really moved and breathed. It looks as if the painter had suddenly cast a spell over it, and forced it to stand stock-still for evermore, like the people in "The Sleeping Beauty." Artists had tried various ways out of this difficulty. Botticelli,for instance, had tried to emphasize in his picture the waving hair and the fluttering garments of his figures, to make them look less rigid in outline. But only Leonardo found the true solution to the problem. The painter must leave the beholder something to guess. If the outlines are not quite so firmly drawn, if the form is left a little vague, as though disappearing into a shadow, this impression of dryness and stiffness will be avoided. This is Leonardo's famous invention which the Italians call "sfumato" — the blurred outline and mellowed colors that allow one form to merge with another and always leave something to our imagination.5 If we now return to the Mona Lisa, we may understand something ofits mysterious effect. We see that Leonardo has used the means of his "sfumato" with the utmost deliberation. Everyone who has ever tried to draw or scribble a face knows that what we call its expression rests mainly in two features: the corners of the mouth, and thecorners of the eyes. Now it is precisely these parts which Leonardo has left deliberately indistinct, by letting them merge into a soft shadow. That is why we are never quite certain in what mood Mona Lisa is really looking at us. Her expression always seems just to elude us. It is not only behind it. Leonardo has done a very daring thing, which perhaps only a painter of his consummate mastery could risk. If we look carefully at the picture, we see that the two sides do not quite match. This is most obvious in the fantastic dream landscape in the background. The horizon on the left side seems to lie much lower than the one on the right. Consequently, when we focus on the left side of the picture, the woman looks somehow taller or more erect than if we focus on the right side. And her face, too, seems to change with this change of position, because, even here, the two sides do not quite match. But with all these sophisticated tricks, Leonardo might have produced a clever piece of jugglery rather than a great work of art, had he not known exactly how far he could go, and had he not counterbalanced his daring deviation from nature by an almost miraculous rendering of the living flesh. Look at the way in which he modeled the hand, or the sleeves with their minute folds. Leonardo could be as painstaking as any of his forerunners in the patient observation of nature. Only he was no longer merely the faithful servant of the nature. Long ago, in the distant past, people had looked at portraits with awe, because they had thought that in preserving the likeness the artist could somehow preserve the soul of the person he portrayed. Now the great scientist, Leonardo, had made some of the dreams and fears of these first image-makers come true. He knew the spell which would infuse life into the colors spread by his magic brush.Language Points:1. Even in photographs of the picture we experience this strange effect, but in front of the original in the Louvre it is almost uncanny. (Para. 3, Sentence 4)uncanny: a. very strange and difficult to explain 离奇的；不可思议的e.g. His powers of observation were uncanny.2. He had clearly seen a problem which the conquest of nature had posed to artists — a problem no less intricate than the one of combining correct drawing with a harmonious composition. (Para. 4, Sentence 2)1) conquest: n. [U] when you gain control of or deal successfully with something that is difficult or dangerous （对艰难、危险事物的）攻克，征服e.g. The conquest of this rare disease has always been her aim.2) intricate: a. very complicated and difficult to understand or learn 复杂难解的e.g. The plot of the novel is intricate and fascinating.3. And yet, for all the grandeur and impressiveness of their representations of nature, their figures look more like statues than any living being. (Para. 4, Sentence 6)grandeur: n. [U] impressive beauty, power or size 壮丽；雄伟e.g. The painting shows the grandeur of the royal palace.This sentence can be paraphrased like this: In spite of the grandness and magnificence displayed in their faithful imitation of nature, their figures look more like statues, which lack vitality, than any living being.4. The reason may be that the more conscientiously we copy a figure line by line and detail by detail, the less we can imagine that it ever really moved and breathed. (Para. 4, Sentence 7) conscientiously: ad. carefully when doing something that is your job or duty to do 勤勉认真地；细心负责地e.g. The devoted minister carried out her duties conscientiously.In this sentence, the structure "the more … the less / more …" is used to say that if an amount of something increases, another change happens as a result.5. This is Leonard's famous invention which the Italians call "sfumato" — the blurred outline and mellowed colors that allow one form to merge with another and always leave something to our imagination. (Para. 4, Sentence 14)1) merge with: if two things merge, or merge with each other, you cannot clearly see them, hear them, etc. as separate things 相融；融入e.g. Memories seemed to merge with reality.2) leave sth. to sb.'s imagination: let someone imagine what is being conveyed 为……留下想象空间e.g. The writer decided not to explain the theme, but to leave the theme to the readers' imagination.6. Everyone who has ever tried to draw or scribble a face knows that what we call its expression rests mainly in two features: the corners of the mouth, and the corners of the eyes. (Para. 5, Sentence 3)1) scribble: vt. to write something quickly and untidily 潦草地写；乱画e.g. I scribbled his phone number in my address book.2) rest in: lie in 在于e.g. Many employees' satisfaction rests in the kind of pride stimulated by the job.7. Leonardo has done a very daring thing, which perhaps only apainter of his consummate mastery could risk. (Para. 5, Sentence 8) consummate: a. showing a lot of skill 技艺高超的e.g. He won the race with consummate ease.8. But with all these sophisticated tricks, Leonardo might have produced a clever piece of jugglery rather than a great work of art, had he not known exactly how far he could go, and had he not counterbalanced his daring deviation from nature by an almost miraculous rendering of the living flesh. (Para. 5, Sentence 14)1) jugglery: n. [C] artful trickery designed to achieve an end 玩花招；欺骗e.g. No party could survive such a record of political trickery and financial jugglery.2) counterbalance: vt. to have an equal and opposite effect to something such as a change, feeling, etc. 使平衡；抵消e.g. Riskier investments tend to be counterbalanced by high rewards. This sentence can be paraphrased like this: But with all these complicated skills, people were likely to play some artful tricks in painting, not to produce a masterpiece. But fortunately Leonardo knew exactly to what extent he could go, and he presented the portrait with such miraculous vitality that his bold step of not following the tradition didn't become an issue.此句为虚拟语气，表示与过去事实相反的假设。

大一第二学期英语第二单元作文

大一第二学期英语第二单元作文The second semester of my freshman year was a time of significant growth and learning in my English studies. As I delved into the second unit of my English course, I was challenged to expand my language skills and engage with more complex topics and materials. This experience not only enriched my understanding of the English language but also provided me with valuable insights into the cultural and social aspects that shape its usage.One of the key focus areas of this unit was the exploration of various forms of communication and their role in shaping our interactions and understanding of the world around us. We examined the nuances of verbal and nonverbal communication, analyzing how factors such as tone, body language, and cultural context can profoundly influence the meaning and impact of our words. This fostered a deeper appreciation for the complexities of communication and the importance of being attuned to the diverse perspectives and experiences that individuals bring to any given interaction.Additionally, we delved into the realm of mass media and its influence on contemporary society. We critically examined the ways in which traditional and digital media platforms shape public discourse, disseminate information, and contribute to the formation of individual and collective perceptions. This exploration encouraged me to develop a more discerning and critical eye when consuming media, recognizing the potential biases and agendas that may be present in the content we are exposed to.Furthermore, this unit challenged me to engage with complex social and ethical issues through the lens of language and communication. We discussed topics such as the impact of globalization on linguistic diversity, the role of language in shaping identity and cultural expression, and the ethical considerations surrounding the use of language in areas like advertising, politics, and social justice. These discussions not only expanded my understanding of these issues but also encouraged me to think critically about my own position and the ways in which language can be used to both empower and marginalize.One of the most rewarding aspects of this unit was the opportunity to apply my newfound knowledge and skills in practical, real-world contexts. We were tasked with conducting research on a topic of our choice, and then presenting our findings to the class in a clear and compelling manner. This exercise not only honed my research andanalytical skills but also challenged me to effectively communicate complex ideas to a diverse audience. The feedback and insights I received from my peers and instructor were invaluable in helping me refine my communication style and develop a greater awareness of the nuances of effective written and oral expression.Throughout this unit, I was also encouraged to explore the rich diversity of the English language, delving into the historical, cultural, and linguistic factors that have shaped its evolution. We examined the influence of various world regions, social movements, and technological advancements on the development of the English language, gaining a deeper appreciation for its dynamic and ever-changing nature.One particularly fascinating aspect of this exploration was the study of language variation and the ways in which dialects, accents, and colloquialisms can reflect the unique identities and experiences of different communities. This awareness not only broadened my understanding of the English language but also challenged me to approach communication with greater empathy and cultural sensitivity, recognizing that language is not a monolithic entity but rather a reflection of the diverse lived experiences of its users.As I reflect on my experiences in this unit, I am struck by the profound impact it has had on my personal and academic growth.The knowledge and skills I have acquired have not only strengthened my command of the English language but have also equipped me with a more nuanced and sophisticated understanding of the role of communication in shaping our social, cultural, and political landscapes.Moving forward, I am excited to continue exploring the vast and dynamic field of English language studies, delving deeper into the intersections of language, culture, and identity. I am confident that the foundations laid in this unit will serve as a springboard for further learning and growth, as I strive to become an effective, ethical, and culturally aware communicator in an increasingly globalized world.。

<P1>Sports medicine experts have observed for years that <1>endurance</1> athletes, particularly females, frequently have irondeficiencies.Now a new study by a team of Purdue University researchers suggests that even <2>moderate</2> exercise may lead to reduced iron in the blood of women."We found that women who were normally inactive and then started a program of moderate exercise showed <3>evidence</3> of iron loss," says Roseanne M. Lyle, associate professor at Purdue.Her study of 62 <4>formerly</4> inactive women who began exercising three times a week for six months was published in the <5>journal</5> <em>Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise.</em>"<P2>Women who <6>consumed</6> additional meat or took iron <7>supplements</7> were able to <8>bounce</8> back," she notes."But the new exercisers who followed their normal diet showed a decrease in iron levels."Iron deficiency is very mon among women in general, affecting one in four female teenagers and one in five women aged 18 to 45, <9>respectively</9>.But the <10>ratio</10> is even greater among active women, affecting up to 80 percent of female endurance athletes.This means, Lyle says, that "too many women ignore the amount of iron they take in".<P3>Women of <11>childbearing</11> age are at greatest risk, since their monthly bleeding is a major source of iron loss.<12>Plus</12>, many health-conscious women increase their risk by rejecting red meat, which contains the most easily <13>absorbed</13> form of iron.And because women often <14>restrict</14> their diet in an effort to control weight, they may not consume enough iron-rich food, and are <15>liable</15> to experience a deficiency."The average woman takes in only two thirds of the remended daily <16>allowance</16> of iron," notes another expert."<P4>For a woman who already has a poor iron status, any additional iron loss from exercise may beenough to tip her over the edge into a more serious deficiency," notes the expert.Exercise can result in iron loss through a variety of mechanisms.Some iron is lost in sweat, and, for unknown reasons, intense endurance exercise is sometimes associated with bleeding of the <18>digestive</18> system.Athletes in high-<19>impact</19> sports such as running may also lose iron through a phenomenon where small blood <20>vessels</20> in the feet <21>leak</21> blood.There are three stages of iron deficiency.The first and most mon is having low iron reserves, a condition that <23>typically</23> has no symptoms.Fatigue and poor performance may begin to appear in the second stage of deficiency, when not enough iron is present to form the <24>molecules</24> of blood <25>protein</25> that transport oxygen to the working muscles.In the third and final stage, people often feel weak, tired, and out of breath¡ª<P5>and exercise performance is severely promised."People think that if they're not at the third stage, nothing is wrong, but that's not true," says John L. Beard, who helped design the Purdue study."You're not in stage 3 until your iron reserves go to zero, and if you wait until that point, you're in trouble."However, most people with low iron reserves don't know they have a deficiency, because traditional methods of <26>calculating</26> the amount of iron in blood (by checking levels of the blood protein that transports oxygen) are not <27>sufficient</27>, Beard states.Instead, it's important to check levels of a different <28>pound</28>, which indicate the amount of <29>storage</29> of iron in the blood.While active, childbearing age women are most likely to have low iron stores, he notes, "Men are not safe, especially if they don't eat meat and have a high level of physical activity."(An estimated 15 percent of male long distance runners have low iron stores.) Beard and other experts say <P6>it's <30>advisable</30> for people in thesegroups to have a <31>yearly</31> blood test to check blood iron reserves.If iron levels are low, talk with a <32>physician</32> to see if the deficiency should be corrected by <33>modifying</33> your diet or by taking supplements.In general, it's better to <34>undo</34> the problem by adding more iron-rich foods to the diet, because iron supplements can have serious <35>shortings</35>. Supplements may produce a feeling of wanting to throw up, and may be poisonous in some cases.The best sources of iron, and the only sources of the form of iron most readily absorbed by the body, are meat, chicken, and fish.Good sources of other forms of iron include dates, beans, and some <36>leafy</36> green vegetables."<37>Select</37> breads and <38>cereals</38> with the words 'iron-added' on the label," writes sports diet expert Nancy Clark."<P7>This added iron supplements the small amount that naturally occurs in grains. Eat these foods with <39>plentiful</39> Vitamin C (for example, drink orangejuice with cereal or put a tomato on a sandwich) to enhance the amount of iron absorbed."Clark also remends cooking in iron pans, as food can <40>derive</40> iron from the pan during the cooking process."<P8>The iron content of tomato sauce cooked in an iron pot for three hours showed a <41>striking</41> increase, the level going up nearly 30 times," she writes. And people who are likely to have low iron should avoid drinking coffee or tea with meals, she says, <P9>since <42>substances</42> in these drinks can <43>interfere</43> with iron being absorbed into the body."Active women need to be a lot more careful about their food choices," sums up Purdue's Lyle."If you pay attention to warning signs before iron reserves are gone, you can <44>remedy</44> the deficiency before it really bees a problem. "。

大一英语下第二单元课文缩写

大一英语下第二单元课文缩写Now both Ellen and I were perfectly happy to allow Benjamin to bang the key near the key slot. His exploratory behavior seemed harmless enough. But I soon observed an interesting phenomenon. Any Chinese staff member nearby would come over to watch Benjamin and, noting his lack of initial success, attempt to assist. He or she would hold onto Benjamin's hand and, gently but firmly, guide it directly toward the slot, reposition it as necessary, and help him to insert it. The "teacher" would then smile somewhat expectantly at Ellen or me, as if awaiting a thank you ─ and on occasion would frown slightly, as if considering us to be neglecting our parental duties.我和XX都满不在乎，任由本杰明拿着钥匙在钥匙的槽口鼓捣。

他的探索行为似乎并无任何害处。

但我很快就观察到一个有趣的现象。

饭店里任何一个中国工作人员若在近旁，都会走过来看着本杰明，见他初试失败，便都会试图帮忙。

他们会轻轻握紧本杰明的手，直接将它引向钥匙的槽口，进行必要的重新定位，并帮他把钥匙插入槽口。

大一下期英语2

大一下期课前听力翻译+完形填空Unit 1 2.5元Today my wife and I spent the morning going through our personal belongings. We were looking for items to give away for free, at a local park. Not just any items but things people really needed. We came up with blankets, soaps, food, and clothing. Our aim was not to find things we no longer wanted, but things we use everyday that would be useful to others. For some of the items we used and needed we split the amounts in half. We kept one half and added the other half to the pile of things to give away.We made up boxes with the things we believed would be useful and added some small toys. We added a list of local addresses and phone numbers of local helping agencies. Inside the boxes a simple letter was placed. It read…“Please take these items and know that your life is important. Times are difficult but these days will pass. We share what we have believing that it will matter. Use the food to nurture your body, use the blankets to stay warm. Be safe and know that the human spirit can overcome anything. Do not hold your head down for having a need to stay warm. Someday please do the same when you can. How you do it, where and when, your heart will tell you.” Who knows where these gifts of compassion will go. We never go back and see what happens. It’s unimportant. The right things will find the right people and that is all that counts.Unit2What on earth is happiness? Happiness is what we want. Happiness is what we strive for. Happiness is a feeling from the bottom of one’s heart. And sometimes, happiness is just a matter of choice. Suppose there is a half glass of water on the table. Do you see the glass as half-full rather than half-empty? This sounds just an ordinary question. But when we keep a psychological eye on it, it soon can be very meaningful. Really, it is just a choice in our daily life. But different choices do show different experiences of self well-being. If you see the glass as half-full, you are always catching the positive side of things. By contrast, if you see it as half-empty, you are always paying attention to the negative side of things.Then, does it have anything to do with happiness? The answer is quite clear. Seeing the positive side of things helps one to be happier, healthier and more successful. Seeing the negative side of things leads one to hopelessness, sickness and failure, combined with depression, loneliness and painful shyness. Maybe our habits could be counted for what we have chosen, but it does show something about one’s state of consciousness. Sometimes, we know little about ourselves. Sometimes, we pay little attention to our own behaviors.Someone once said that very little is needed to make a happy life; and it is all within yourself, in your way of thinking. So, I say, sometimes, happiness is just a matter of choice.Unit 4Today many people are forgetting the importance of reading. They don’t take the time to read books, magazines, or even newspapers anymore. Sadly, many kids are growing up without really realizing how important and exciting reading can really be. There are actually many great benefits to reading, however. Here are just a few of the benefits of reading that should drive home the importanceof reading today.One of the main benefits is that it will help you to build your vocabulary. Too many people today don’t read and they also suffer from vocabularies that are very limited. Well, you’ll find that your vocabulary will definitely improve when you become an avid reader.Another great benefit of reading is that it provides you with a wonderful time to relax and de-stress. This is a great time when you can allow yourself to be transported into another world that is exciting and different. If you need a few moments to relax after a hard day, reading is a wonderful way to do so.One more benefit is that reading can actually help to enhance your brain power. As you read you’ll stimulate the brain.As you can see, there are many great benefits of reading and they all show the importance of reading today. So, don’t let reading become left behind with the age of technology. It’s important thatyou take time to read and do your best to instill a love of reading within your children as well so that they grow up knowing how fun, exciting, and important it is to read.Unit 5Today’s young people may have the problems of the generation gap with people who are only five years older. If we do nothing to bridge this gap, it may become a serious social problem, destroying our daily life. So what can we do to bridge the generation gap? To find the answer, the first thing we should do is find out the causes of the generation gap. Young people today are exposed to an environment totally different from their parents’or grandparents’. Rapid technological changes have made it almost impossible for any except the youth to adapt fast enough. They are obliged to learn more and more. By logging on to the Internet, they can see, hear, and feel the newly emerging tendency. The influence of this environment shapes the new generation’s characteristics, also changes their social values, which are hardly acceptable to the old. The young people today are busily involved in various activities so that there isn’t much time left for interpersonal communication.The barriers between generations do exist, yet, they are removable. Here are some useful tips:1. To have a lot of communication with your children. Today’s youth are more likely to cut off the channel of communication if the parents disagree with some of their opinions. Spend a large part of your week having fun with your children so that they are willing to become your best friends in many ways.2. To teach your children to understand that if they want others’ respect they should respect others, make it clear that everything has to be earned.3. Teach them to know their minds and make their own decisions, and don’t forbidanything in absolute terms.In a word, to bridge the generation gap, the parents should view mutual understanding as the most important thing.Unit 6About 12 years ago I worked in a bookstore. Part of my job was to work at the information desk, answer questions and direct people to where they might find a book. One day shortly before Christmas, a customer came in and when I looked up the book she wanted it was out of print. The customer might have gone home disappointed; however, as luck would have it that day there was a win-win-win situation for the customer, the bookstore, and myself.The luck in this win-win-win was me. I owned a copy of that book. It was a $5 paperback that I had bought. But I had never read it and kept it in a box somewhere at home.I mentioned to the customer that the book she wanted was no longer available and I could make it available to her. I wasn’t quite sure which box it was in, but I knew I had it. I asked her to call the store the next day and I would let her know if I was able to find it.I went home that night, opened a random box of books and found what I was looking for sitting there on top of the first and only box I opened. I had expected to spend an hour opening boxes before finding it, but instead it took all of 30 seconds.The next day the woman called and later she came back to the store. She handed me a $5 bill and I handed her a book. That was a really win-win-win situation.For this woman the win was getting the exact Christmas present she was looking for even though it was no longer available. For me the win was getting my money back on a book I had no intention of reading. For the store the win was an increase in the loyalty a customer felt for the store.The point of the story isn’t to let you know what a wonderful person I am, but to show you how little things can make a big difference.Unit 7Children learn about the world from what they see of the world, and unfortunately this means they will learn about discrimination and injustice simply from having it occur around them. But adults can help them to understand equal rights by discussing the subject in an appropriate manner.Children notice much more of the world than they are prepared to understand, so adults can help them work through new concepts by discussing what they see. Children will notice that people havemany differences, from their sizes and shapes to their skin colour to what they believe, so adults should be prepared to discuss these differences with them.Adults can explain that the differences in people are what makes the world so exciting and that there is no reason to fear people who are different from those with whom the child normally spends time. Adults can also explain that everyone, regardless of any differences, should be treated equally. Allowing children to work through why this would be limiting will also help children come to understand the benefits of encouraging equal rights in the world around them.It can be hard for children to understand broad terms like “equal rights”, “equality” and “discrimination”. Instead of focusing on this vocabulary, adults can simply make sure that children understand what it means to show respect for all people. Helping children understand the golden rule —to treat others as theythemselves would like to be treated — is a good starting point for discussions aboutrespecting others.Children learn from what they see and hear, so adults should help them to see andhear the benefits of equal rights. Addressing differences between people, explainingrespect, encouraging selfrespect and modelling appropriate behaviour are all ways bywhich adults can help educate children about equality.Unit 11.
