I. Introduction

A. About the text

This is a text about what students will experience in their “college years”. It is addressed to college students in the United States. But with some modifications, what the author says here will also make perfect sense to our students.

College life is both exciting and frustrating experience. It is clear that young adulthood is an extremely important period in our life.

Not everyone knows how to handle their sudden independence or freedom. There are also those who take their newly found independence to mean that they can do anything they want.

B.About the author

Dr. Bob H artman is a children’s story-teller and part-time pastor. He was born in Pittsburgh, the United States, and moved to England in the summer of 2000.

II. Warming-up exercises

1. What are my goals for the college years?

2. Do you find it easy to relate to the opposite sex? Do you agree with the author that stressful as it is, it is nevertheless one of the most important goals we must achieve during school years?

III. Detailed study of the text

1.（Para. 1）“Has it ever occurred to you that your professors and other school personnel have certain goals for

your growth and maturity during your college years? Has it ever dawned on you that certain

developmental changes will occur in your life as you move from adolescence to young adulthood?”

A. Draw the student’s att ention to the difference between Chinese and English in expressing this idea: In Chinese, the subject is usually a personal pronoun, whereas in English, the anticipatory “it” is used.

More examples:

It never occurred to me that wealth could ruin a person’s life.

我从来没想到财富能毁灭一个人的一生。

It suddenly dawned on us that high savings rate may not be a good thing.

我们突然想到高的存款利率未必是件好事。

It gradually began to dawn on the economists that the problem was not overproduction, but

under-consumption.

经济学家们逐渐认识到，问题不是生产过剩而是消费过低。
