写作教程(一)unit-1标准答案Unit 1PART Ⅱ FOCUSDenotation and ConnotationSuggested answer to the questionIf it is your teacher, most probably you will choose b, as the word portly has an implication of a more or less dignified and imposing appearance (e.g. an elderly gentleman, large and portly). However, if it is a doorkeeper, an amiable middle-aged woman, you may choose the word plump as it implies a pleasing fullness of figure (e.g. the plump goddesses of Renaissance paintings). From this exercise we can conclude that words that share the same denotative meanings can be diverse in their connotative meanings.Reference for the Classroom Activities1.father: the male parent.

In this excerpt, the use of false friends adds a humorous effect to the text.Reference for the Classroom Activities1.The false friends are lie meaning to keep one’s body in a flat position, andlie meaning to say something dishonest.2. a.

高级英语写作1-10课翻译
The Delicate Art of the Forest库珀的创造天分并不怎么样；但是他似乎热衷于此并沾沾自喜。
确实，他做了一些令人感到愉快的事情。
在小小的道具箱内，他为笔下的森林猎人和土人准备了七八种诡计或圈套，这些人以此诱骗对方。
利用这些幼稚的技巧达到了预期的效果，没有什么更让他高兴得了。
其中一个就是他最喜欢的，就是让一个穿着鹿皮靴的人踩着穿着鹿皮靴敌人的脚印，借以隐藏了自己行踪。
这么做使库珀磨烂不知多少桶鹿皮靴。
他常用的另一个道具是断树枝。
他认为断树枝效果最好，因此不遗余力地使用。
在他的小说中，如果哪章中没有人踩到断树枝惊着两百码外的印第安人和白人，那么这一节则非常平静/那就谢天谢地了。
每次库珀笔下的人物陷入危险，每分钟绝对安静的价格是4美元/一分静一分金，这个人肯定会踩到断树枝。
尽管附近有上百种东西可以踩，但这都不足以使库珀称心。
他会让这个人找一根干树枝；如果找不到，就去借一根。
事实上，《皮袜子故事系列丛书》应该叫做《断树枝故事集》。
很遗憾，我没有足够的篇幅，写上几十个例子，看看奈迪·班波和其他库伯专家们是怎样运用他的森林中的高招。
大概我们可以试着斗胆举它两三个例子。
库伯曾经航过海—当过海军军官。
但是他却一本正经/煞有介事地告诉我们，一条被风刮向海岸遇险的船，被船长驶向一个有离岸暗流的地点而得救。
因为暗流顶着风，把船冲了回来。
看看这森林术，这行船术，或者叫别的什么术，很高明吧？库珀在炮兵部队里待过几年，他应该注意到炮弹落到地上时，要么爆炸，要么弹起来，跳起百英尺，再弹再跳，直到跳不动了滚几下。
现在某个地方他让几个女性—他总是这么称呼女的—在一个迷雾重重的夜晚，迷失在平原附近一片树林边上—目的是让班波有机会向读者展示他在森林中的本事。
这些迷路的人正在寻找一个城堡。
他们听到一声炮响，接着一发炮弹就滚进树林，停在他们脚下。
对女性，这毫无价值。
但对可敬的班波就完全不同了。
我想，如果班波要是不马上冲出来，跟着弹痕，穿过浓雾，跨过平原，找到要塞，我就再也不知道什么是“和平”了。

The how of reading a newspaper in America is different from that of reading a newspaper in a totalitarian（极权主义的） country. In a democracy, first of all, you can check one newspaper against another; you can compare an account in your newspaper against what you hear on the radio. You can consult books to determine whether a report is accurate. In a totalitarian nation all information comes from one source － the government.

大学英语高级写作教程Unit One
The following are some of the conventions that narrative-asessay and narrative-as-story share in common:
Use of the first person singular or the third person singular; use of an interpolated tale. Whichever person you use, be consistent. Inclusion of the five elements of narration: characters, setting, plot, climax and an ending. Events are usually presented in chronological order, but may use flashbacks to merge past and present. Employment of specific, lively, precise, often sensory, details to explain, support, or embellish the story or to make the point. Design the conflict, sequence and dialogues to make the account lively.
III. Practice
1. Reading, Discussion and Evaluation
Task 1: Read and Decide Discussion Questions – Is the passage a narrative-as-essay or a narrative -as-story? Why? – What are the defining characteristics that have led to your judgment? – If the passage is a narrative-as-essay, what is its generalization? – If the passage is a narrative-as-story, underline the five elements of narrative writing.

高级英语1第一单元作文
As a high school student, I have always been fascinated by the power of language and its ability to connect people from different cultures. This semester, we started learning Advanced English 1, and the first unit has been an eyeopening experience for me. The theme of the unit revolves around the importance of communication and the various forms it can take. Heres my take on the subject.Communication is the lifeblood of society. Its how we share ideas, express emotions, and build relationships. In our increasingly globalized world, the ability to communicate effectively is more important than ever. The first unit of Advanced English 1 has taught me that communication is not just about speaking and listening its a multifaceted process that involves a range of skills and strategies.One of the key lessons Ive learned is the importance of active listening. In our fastpaced world, we often rush to get our point across without really hearing what the other person is saying. But effective communication requires us to slow down, pay attention, and truly understand the other persons perspective. This means not just hearing the words, but also picking up on the tone, body language, and underlying emotions.Another important aspect of communication is the use of nonverbal cues. Gestures, facial expressions, and body language can convey a lot of information without saying a word. For example, a smile can show friendliness and openness, while crossed arms can signal defensiveness or disagreement. Learning to read and interpret these nonverbal signals can greatly enhance our communication skills.The unit also emphasized the role of empathy in communication. Empathy involves putting ourselves in someone elses shoes and trying to understand their feelings and perspective. When we communicate with empathy, we are more likely to build trust and rapport, which can lead to more productive and meaningful conversations.Moreover, the first unit highlighted the importance of adapting our communication style to different contexts. Whether were speaking to a friend, a teacher, or a stranger, our choice of words, tone, and body language can greatly affect how our message is received. Learning to adjust our communication style to suit the situation is a valuable skill that can help us navigate a wide range of social interactions.One of the most interesting topics we explored was the impact of technology on communication. With the rise of social media, texting, and video calls, we have more ways than ever to connect with others. However, these digital forms of communication can also create misunderstandings and misinterpretations. For example, without the benefit of tone and body language, it can be easy to misread someones intentions or feelings. Learning to navigate these challenges is an important part of mastering communication in the digital age.In conclusion, the first unit of Advanced English 1 has been a valuable exploration of the art of communication. It has taught me that effective communication involves more than just words it requires active listening, nonverbal cues, empathy, and an ability to adapt to different contexts. As Icontinue to develop these skills, I am excited about the potential they hold for building stronger relationships, expressing myself more clearly, and navigating the complexities of our interconnected world.。

Unit 1PART Ⅱ FOCUSDenotation and ConnotationSuggested answer to the questionIf it is your teacher, most probably you will choose b, as the word portly has an implication of a more or less dignified and imposing appearance(e.g. an elderly gentleman, large and portly). However, if it is a doorkeeper, an amiable middle-aged woman, you may choose the word plump as it implies a pleasing fullness of figure (e.g. the plump goddesses of Renaissance paintings). From this exercise we can conclude that words that share the same denotative meanings can be diverse in their connotative meanings.Reference for the Classroom Activities1.father: the male parent.

英语一大作文高级表达Title: Exploring the Nuances of English Prose: A Dive into Advanced Expressions。
English, as a language, offers a plethora of possibilities for expression, ranging from the simple and straightforward to the intricate and sophisticated. In this exploration, we delve into the realm of advanced English prose, uncovering nuanced expressions that add depth and elegance to writing.At the forefront of advanced English expression lies the mastery of vocabulary. Rather than relying on commonplace words, adept writers harness the richness of the language to convey their thoughts with precision and flair. Synonyms and antonyms, idiomatic expressions, and figurative language serve as tools to paint vivid pictures in the minds of readers. For instance, instead of merely stating "she was happy," one might employ alternatives such as "she exuded an aura of jubilation" or "her countenanceradiated with joy."Beyond vocabulary, sentence structure plays a pivotal role in elevating prose to a higher echelon. By incorporating varied sentence structures, writers can imbue their writing with rhythm and cadence, captivating the reader's attention. Complex sentences, comprising subordinate clauses and conjunctions, lend a sense of sophistication to the writing. Conversely, the strategic use of short, punchy sentences can inject energy and urgency into the narrative, driving the point home with impact.Moreover, the adept use of literary devices enriches English prose, transforming mere words into a tapestry of meaning and emotion. Metaphors and similes infuse language with imagery, allowing readers to visualize abstract concepts in tangible terms. Alliteration and assonance create melodic patterns that linger in the reader's mind, enhancing the overall aesthetic appeal of the writing. Additionally, rhetorical devices such as parallelism and anaphora lend rhetorical power to arguments, compellingreaders to ponder the underlying message.Furthermore, the artful deployment of transitionsfosters coherence and fluidity in writing, guiding readers seamlessly from one idea to the next. Transition words and phrases serve as signposts, signaling shifts in thought or direction. By mastering the nuances of transitions, writers can weave together disparate ideas into a cohesive narrative, ensuring that each paragraph flows logicallyinto the next.In addition to linguistic prowess, cultural andhistorical references add depth and resonance to English prose. Allusions to literary works, historical events, or philosophical concepts imbue writing with layers of meaning, inviting readers to engage on multiple levels. However, itis imperative to strike a balance between accessibility and erudition, ensuring that references enhance rather than obfuscate the intended message.In conclusion, the realm of advanced English proseoffers a vast playground for linguistic exploration andexpression. By harnessing the power of vocabulary, sentence structure, literary devices, transitions, and cultural references, writers can craft compelling narratives that resonate with readers on intellectual and emotional levels. Through continuous practice and refinement, aspiringwriters can unlock the full potential of the English language, wielding it with finesse and artistry.。

What we attempt to do here is to bring students' attention to some points particularly tricky and let them learn by practice. The method we use in the grammar section of this book is the discovery approach -- to let students find out their own answers. We hope this can raise students' interest in learning grammar and sharpen their inductive skills.The question of subject-verb agreement is very complicated.

2. Guidance for R源自ading a Narrative
People narrate for two different purposes: to recreate or retell an experience and to make a point. Thus, there are two types of narrative: narrative-as-story and narrative-as-essay. A narrative-as-story is an exact account of what happened with the purpose of recreating or retelling a particular experience. It requires facts be stated correctly and in good chronological order. Such writing is also referred to as factual narrative. A narrative-as-essay is a story that is told to make a particular point. This mode of writing is also known as a personal essay, a personal narrative or a narrative essay. The purpose is to deal with a personal experience or to express a personal attitude towards the chosen subject.
