高级英语第二册第二课课后题答案

高级英语第二册第二课课后题答案

第二单元习题答案Ⅰ. Marrakech: in west central Morocco, at the Northern foot of the high Atlas, 130 miles south of Casablanca, the chief seaport. The city renowned for leather goods, is one of the principal commercial centers of Morocco. It was founded in 1062 and was the capital of Morocco from then until 1147 and again from 1550 to 1660. It was captured by the French in 1912, when its modern growth began. It has extremely hot summers but mild winters. Yearly rainfall is 9 inches and limited to winter months. The city was formerly also called Morocco.Morocco: Located in North Africa, on the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean. Morocco is the farthest west of all the Arab countries. Rabat is the capital. The estimated population in 1973 was 15,600,000. About 2000 B. C. it was settled by Berber tribes, who have formed the basis of the population ever since. The Arabs invaded Morocco in the 7thcentury, bringing with them Islam. From the end of the 17thcentury until the early 19th century Morocco was almost entirely free from foreign influence. But in 1912, a Franco- Spanish agreement divided Morocco into 4 administrative zones. It gained independence in 1956 and became a constitutional monarchy in 1957. Morocco is a member of the United Nations, the League of Arab States, and the Organization of African Unity. Moroccans are mainly farmers (70%)who try to grow their own food. They often use camels, donkeys and mules to pull their plows. In the south a few tribesmen still, wander from place to place in the desert.Ⅱ. 1. Here are five things he describes to show poverty- (a) the burial of the poor inhabitants (b)an Arab Navvy, an employee of the municipality, begging for a piece of bread (c)the miserable lives of the Jews in the ghettoes~ (d)cultivation of the poor soil; (e) the old women carrying fire wood.2. See paragraphs 1 and 2.3. All the imperialists build up their empires by treating the people in the colonies as animals instead of as human be rags.4. Medieval ghettoes were probably like the Jewish quarters in Marrakech--overcrowded, thousands of people living in a narrow street, houses completely windowless, and the whole area dirty and unhygienic.5. If Hitler were here, all the Jews would have been massacred.6. Those who work with their hands are partly invisible. It’s only because of this that the starved countries of Asia and Africa are accepted as tourist resorts. The people are not treated as human beings, and it is on this fact that all colonial empires are in reality founded.7. See paragraph 18.8. The old woman was surprised because someone was taking notice of her and treating her as a human being. She accepted her status as an old woman, that is to say, as a beast of burden.9, Every white man thought. "How much longer can we go on kidding these people? How long before they turn their guns in the other direction?" They knew they could not go on fooling these black people any longer. Some day they would rise up in revolt and free themselves.Ⅲ. 1. Yes, it is. In this essay Orwell denounces the evils of colonialism or imperialism by mercilessly exposing the poverty, misery and degradation of the native people in the colonies.2. He manages to show that he is outraged at the spectacle of misery, first, through the appropriate use of words second, through the clever choice of the scenes he describes; third,through the tone in which he describes these scenes and finally, by contrasting the indignation at the cruel handling of the donkey with the unconcern towards the fate of the human beings.3. Because that shows the cruel treatment the donkeys receive evokes a greater feeling of sympathy in the breasts of the white masters than the miserable fate of the people. This contrast have on the reader an effect that the people are not considered nor treated as human beings.4. Paragraphs 4-7 could as well come after 8-15 as before. Other groups of paragraphs could be rearranged. This indicates that the whole passage is made up of various independent examples or illustrations of the people's poverty and suffering. The central theme--all colonial empires are in reality founded upon this fact--gives unity and cohesion to the whole essay.5. This essay gives a new insight into imperialism. Yes, he has succeeded in showing that imperialism is an "evil thing".6. Orwell is good at the appropriate use of simple but forceful words and the clever choice of the scenes he describes. His lucid style and fine attention to significant descriptive details efficiently conveyed to the readers the central idea "all colonial empires are in reality founded upon this fact", the fact that the people are not considered or treated as human beings.IV. 1. The buring-ground is nothing more than a huge piece of wasteland full of mounds of earth looking like a deserted and abandoned piece of land on which a building was going to be put up.2. All the imperialists build up their empires by treating the people in the colonies like animals (by not treating the people in the colonies as human beings).3. They are born. Then for a few years they work, toil and starve. Finally they die and are buried in graves without a name.4. Sitting with his legs crossed and using a very old-fashioned lathe, a carpenter quickly gives a round shape to the chair-legs he is making.5. Immediately from their dark hole-like cells everywhere a great number of Jews rushed out wildly excited.6. Every one of these poor Jews looked on the cigarette as a piece of luxury which they could not possibly afford.7. However, a white-skinned European is always quite noticeable.8. If you take a look at the natural scenery in a tropical region, you see everything but the human beings.9. No one would think of organizing cheap trips for the tourists to visit the poor slum areas (for these trips would not be interesting).10.life is very hard for ninety percent of the people.With hard backbreaking toil they can produce a little food on the poor soil.11.She took it for granted that as an old woman she was the lowest in the community,that。

马拉喀什见闻乔治·奥威尔一具尸体抬过,成群的苍蝇从饭馆的餐桌上瓮嗡嗡而起追逐过去,但几分钟过后又非了回来。

一支人数不多的送葬队伍——其中老少尽皆男性,没有一个女的——沿着集贸市场,从一堆堆石榴摊子以及出租汽车和骆驼中间挤道而行,一边走着一边悲痛地重复着一支短促的哀歌。

苍蝇之所以群起追逐是因为在这个地方死人的尸首从不装进棺木,只是用一块破布裹着放在一个草草做成的木头架子上,有四个朋友抬着送葬。

朋友们到了安葬场后,便在地上挖出一个一二英尺深的长方形坑,将尸首往坑里一倒。

再扔一些像碎砖头一样的日、干土块。

不立墓碑,不留姓名,什么识别标志都没有。

坟场只不过是一片土丘林立的荒野,恰似一片已废弃不用的建筑场地。

一两个月过后,就谁也说不准自己的亲人葬于何处了。

当你穿行也这样的城镇——其居民20万中至少有2万是除开一身聊以蔽体的破衣烂衫之外完全一无所有——当你看到那些人是如何生活,又如何动辄死亡时,你永远难以相信自己是行走在人类之中。

实际上,这是所有的殖民帝国赖以建立的基础。

这里的人都有一张褐色的脸,而且,人数书如此之多!他们真的和你意义同属人类吗?难道他们也会有名有姓吗?也许他们只是像彼此之间难以区分的蜜蜂或珊瑚虫一样的东西。

他们从泥土里长出来,受哭受累,忍饥挨饿过上几年,然后有被埋在那一个个无名的小坟丘里。

谁也不会注意到他们的离去。

就是那些小坟丘本身也过不了很久便会变成平地。

有时当你外出散步,穿过仙人掌丛时,你会感觉到地上有些绊脚的东西,只是在经过多次以后,摸清了其一般规律时,你才会知道你脚下踩的是死人的骷髅。

我正在公园里给一只瞪羚喂食。

动物中也恐怕只有瞪羚还活着时就让人觉得是美味佳肴。

事实上,人们只要看到它们那两条后腿就会联想到薄荷酱。

我现在喂着的这只瞪羚好象已经看透了我的心思。

它虽然叼走了拿在手上的一块面包,但显然不喜欢我这个人。

它一面啃食着面包,一面头一低向我顶过来,再啃一下面包又顶过来一次。

MarrakechAs the corpse(死尸,尸体) went past the flies left the restaurant table in a cloud and rushed after it, but they came back a few minutes later.一具尸体抬过,成群的苍蝇从饭馆的餐桌上瓮嗡嗡而起追逐过去,但几分钟过后又飞了回来。

The little crowd of mourners(哀悼者)-- all men and boys, no women--threaded their way across the market place between the piles of pomegranates(石榴)and the taxis and the camels, wailing(哭叫,哀号)a short chant(吟颂,咏唱)over and over again. What really appeals to the flies is that the corpses here are never put into coffins, they are merely wrapped in a piece of rag and carried on a rough wooden bier(棺材,棺材架)on the shoulders of four friends. When the friends get to the burying-ground they hack an oblong(长方形的)hole a foot or two deep, dump the body in it and fling over it a little of the dried-up, lumpy(满是疙瘩的,粗糙的)earth, which is like broken brick. No gravestone, no name, no identifying mark of any kind. The burying-ground is merely a huge waste of hummocky(圆丘般的,多圆丘的)earth, like a derelict(被抛弃的,废弃的)building-lot(建筑用地). After a month or two no one can even be certain where his own relatives are buried.一支人数不多的送葬队伍——其中老少尽皆男性,没有一个女的——沿着集贸市场,从一堆堆石榴摊子以及出租汽车和骆驼中间挤道而行,一边走着一边悲痛地重复着一支短促的哀歌。

Scene 3
Scene 4
(Paragraph 18) Most of Morocco is so desolate that no wild animal bigger than a hare can live on it. Huge areas which were once covered with forest have turned into a treeless waste where the soil is exactly like broken-up brick. Nevertheless a good deal of it is cultivated, with frightful labour.

His father, Richard Walmesley Blair, was a minor customs official in the opium department of the Indian Civil Service.*W hen Orwell was 4 years old, his family returned to England where he remained until 1922. When Orwell was 8 years old, he was sent to a private preparatory school in Sussex. After attending Wellington and Eton, he failed to win a university scholarship then he served with the Indian Imperial Police in Burma.In the 1930s*His experience in Burma is described in his first novel ‚B u rmese Days‛(1934)缅甸风云.*On his return to Europe in 1927 he lived in a poor financial condition , first in Paris and then in London, a period which is the basis of his book ‚D o w n and Out in Paris and London‛(1933)巴黎和伦敦的落魄生活. And in this book he assumed the name ‚George Orwell‛by which he would become world famous*During the1930s Orwell had adopted the views of a socialist and traveled to Spain to report on their civil war.*He took the side of the Republican (United Workers Marxist Party militia 统一公党市民军) and fought alongside them, which earned him a wound in the neck. It was this war that made him hate communism in favor of the English brand of socialism.*Orwell wrote a book on Spain, ‚Homag e to Catalonia‛(向加泰罗尼亚致敬), which was published in 1938.During World Wa r Two:*During the second World War rejected for military service on account of tuberculosis and a wound, Orwell served as a sergeant(军士)in the Home Guard and also worked as a journalist for the BBC, Observer and Tribune(论坛), where he was literary editor from 1943 to 1945.*It was toward the end of the war that he wrote ‚A n imal Farm‛, and when it was over he moved to Scotland.*It was ‚A nimal Farm‛(动物庄园) a satirical fantasy attacking communism as practiced in Soviet Union that finally made Orwell prosperous.*His other world -wide success ‚Nineteen Eighty-Four‛(1984)is an elaborate satire on modern politics, a prophetic novel describing the dehumanization of man in a mechanistic, totalitarian 极权主义的world.Orwell wrote many literary essays as well, his volumes of essays include :Dickens(1946)狄更斯*Dali and Others(1946)达里*Shooting an Elephant(1950)射象*Collected Essays(1968)随笔*Journalism(1968) 新闻文章*Letters of George Orwell(1968)书信集Marriage and Death*Eileen O'Shaugnessy, Orwell's wife died in 1945 and in 1949 he remarried to a woman named Sonia Browell.

Like the bodiless heads you see sometimes in circus sideshows, it is as thoughI have been surrounded by mirrors of hard, distorting glass. When they approachme they see only my surroundings, themselves, or fragments of their imagination---indeed, everything and anything except me.

The Senega lese soldiers a resupporting the colonia l ma sters who a re cruelly exploiting the country.It sounds ironica l. Yet the young ma n, instead of ha ting the white men,a ctua lly holds a deep respect for them. The whole situa tion gives a depressing future of the country.SummaryThe text is a piece of objective exposition of the poverty, misery anddegradation of the inhabitants in Marrakech. The ordinary local funeral,which treats the dead as animals, is merely one episode of the miserablelives of native people. However, this fact is the basis upon which all theimperialists build up their empires. The author illustrates the followingfacts to show the plight of the inhabitants. An Arab navvy , an employeeof the municipality, begs for a piece of brea d which is formerly the foodof the gazelles. In the unsanitary ghettoes which are crowded with Jews,people overwork in a wretched situation, but they cannot possibly afforda piece of cigarette. The brown laborers working in the barren fields in abackward way are partly invisible to the white colonists who are insensi-tive to the suffering all around them. The old women carrying fireworkare more invisible for their skinny a nd distorted figures. Ironically,oblivious to the miseries of the human beings, the white express moresympathy to the da mna ble fa t e of the donkeys. However, the colonized ,such as one of the Senagalese soldiers, bear blind deep respect for thewhite masters. This provokes the white to reexamine themselves as wellas their ways of treating the colonized people.Stylistic features* Generally speaking, Orwell describes objectively the suffering and misery of the colonial people inMarrakech, yet he manages to show that he is outraged at the spectacle of misery. He succeeds in imparting this feeling to his readers:a)through the clever choice of the scenes he describesb)through the appropriate use of words: concretec)through the tone in which he describes these scenes: objective, matter-of-factly, yet readers can see his anger beneath.d)by contrasting the indignation at the cruel handling of the donkey with the unconcern towards the fate of the human beings.e)figures of speech used: simile, metaphor, parallelism, repetition, rhetorical question, synecdoche, analogy, transferred epithetDictation1.wail a chant2. hack an oblong hole3. inhabitants4. undifferentiated5. derelict6. medieval ghettoes7. fly -infested 8. warp out of shape 9. conspicuous10. frenzied rush 11. grope in the air 12. eroded soil13. desolate place 14. conserve water 15. mummified with age 16. invisibility 17. be infuriated18. plight of human beings 19. slump under weight 20. glisten with sweat 21. contemptuous 22. reverence 23. sullen 24. inquisitive 25. scraps of paper26. hummocky 27. prickly pear 28. bumpy 29. hindquarter30. nibble 31. sidle 32. stow 33. municipality34. skull-cap 35. booth 36. prehistoric 37. clamour38. self-contained39. grove 40. witchcraft 41. hobble42. damnably 43. bridle 44. packsaddle 45. halter46. reach-me-down 47. squash 48. syphilis 49. garrison 50 George Orwell。

2、The little crows of mourners – all me and boys, no women – threaded their way across the marker place between the piles of pomegranates and the taxis and the camels, wailing a short chant over and over again. What really appeals to the flied is that the corpses here are never put into coffins; they are merely wrapped in a piece of ray and carried on a rough wooden bier on the shoulders of four friends. When the friends get to the burying-ground they hack an oblong hole afoot or two deep, dump the body in it and fling over it a little of the dried-up, lumpy earth, which is like broken brick. No gravestone, no name, no identifying mark of any kind. The burying-ground is merely a huge waste of hummocky earth. Like a derelict building-lot.

第二课参考译文马拉喀什随笔乔治·奥威尔1. 一具尸体抬过,成群的苍蝇从饭馆的餐桌上一哄而起,追逐而上,几分钟后又嗡嗡地飞了回来。

2. 一支人数不多的送葬队伍——无论成人或孩子全是男性,没有女性——沿着集贸市场,迂回穿行于一堆堆石榴摊子、出租车和骆驼之间,一边走着一边反复地哀号着一曲短促的悲歌。

真正吸引苍蝇成群追逐的是:这里的尸体从来都不装进棺木,只是用一块破布裹着,放在一个粗糙的木制陈尸架上,由死者的四位朋友抬着送葬。

抵达安葬地后,先在地上挖出一个一两英尺深的长方形坑,随即将尸体往坑里一倒,再扔上一些像碎砖头一样的干土块。

既没有墓碑,也没有留名,更没有任何身份标识。

安葬地不过是一片巨大的土丘林立的荒原,恰似一块废弃的建筑工地。

一两个月之后,谁也说不准自己的亲人究竟葬在何处。

3. 当你徒步经过这样的城镇——20万当地居民当中,至少有两万人除了一身聊以蔽体的破衣烂裳外,一无所有——当你看到那些人何以生存,又何以轻易地死去时,你永远难以相信自己是在人类当中穿行。

事实上,这是所有殖民帝国赖以建立的基础。

这里的人都有一张褐色的脸——而且,他们人数众多!他们果真和你一样同属人类吗?他们也有名有姓吗?或许他们只是像一群群彼此之间难以区分的蜜蜂或珊瑚虫一样的东西。

他们生于土地,受苦受累,忍饥挨饿地过上几年,然后就被埋到无名的小坟丘下。

没有人会注意到他们的离去,甚至那些小坟丘本身也会很快地夷为平地。

有时,当你外出散步,穿过仙人掌丛时,你会感觉到脚下特别的凸凹不平,只有那起伏凹凸的固定形状使你意识到脚下踩的正是死人的骷髅。

4. 我正在公园里给一只瞪羚喂食。

5. 瞪羚几乎是唯一一种在存活时看上去能让人食欲大开的动物。

实际上,人们光看到它的两条后腿就会联想到薄荷酱。

我正在喂着的这只瞪羚似乎已看出了我的心思,尽管它在吃我手上递出去的面包,但显然对我并没什么好感。

它迅速地咬了一小口面包,然后低下头,试图用脑袋顶我,然后又咬一口面包,又顶了一次。

高级英语学习指南(第三版)第二册第二课全文共6篇示例,供读者参考篇1Learning English is Awesome!Hey there, friends! It's me again, your buddy who loves learning English. I'm so excited to share with you what I learned from the second lesson in my Advanced English Learning Guide. This book has been a game-changer for me, and I can't wait to tell you all about it!First things first, let me give you a little backstory. I'm a10-year-old kid who loves to read, play sports, and hang out with my friends. English was always a subject that gave me a hard time, but ever since I started using this amazing book, everything has changed.The second lesson in the book was all about mastering vocabulary. I know what you're thinking, "Ugh, vocabulary? That sounds so boring!" But trust me, the way this book teaches it is anything but boring!One of the coolest things about this lesson was the way it introduced new words through stories and games. For example, there was this super fun story about a group of kids who went on an adventure篇2My English Class Adventure!Hi there! My name is Timmy and I'm going to tell you all about my awesome English class. We just started a new lesson and it's super cool. It's from this really big book called the "Advanced English Learning Guide" - it looks kind of like a dictionary but it's not, it's way better!Our lesson is all about different jobs and occupations. At first I was like "Boooring!" but then my teacher Mrs. Roberts made it really fun. She had us go around the class and say what we want to be when we grow up. Can you guess what I said? A professional soccer player! I'm the best player on my team, at least according to me. My best friend Johnny said he wants to be an astronaut and go to the moon. How cool would that be?After we went around sharing our dream jobs, Mrs. Roberts taught us lots of new vocabulary words related to different careers. My favorite one was "veterinarian" - that's an animaldoctor! I loooove animals so that could be another fun job. We also learned "chef", "scientist", "artist", and "engineer" among others. Engineers design really cool buildings and bridges - maybe I could be one of those if the whole soccer star thing doesn't pan out.Then we did this awesome activity where we had to draw pictures of different professionals doing their jobs. I drew a fireman rescuing a cat from a tree. Chloe drew a dentist looking at someone's teeth. Billy drew a lunch lady dropping a tray of food (he's so silly!). After we finished our drawings, we went around describing what was happening in each picture using the new vocabulary words we had practiced. It was kind of like show-and-tell which is my favorite part of school!The best part of the lesson came next though. Mrs. Roberts split us up into teams and gave each team an occupation that we had to act out doing different tasks for that job. Can you guess what my team's job was? A zookeeper! We had to pretend to feed the lions, bathe the elephants, and clean out the penguin habitat. We made all the animal noises and everything - it was hilarious. The team playing doctors had to give each other check-ups. And the team playing firefighters had to put out an "imaginary fire" by aiming their pretend hoses at it. So much fun!At the end, we learned about suffixes and how you can add "-er" or "-or" to some verbs to name the person who does that action. Like a "teacher" teaches, a "sailor" sails ships, and a "conductor" conducts an orchestra or train. Having different forms of words is one of the trickiest parts of English if you ask me. But Mrs. Roberts made a game of it where we had to take turns going up to the board and writing new job names using suffixes. Whoever made a mistake had to do five jumping jacks - good thing I'm in shape from all that soccer practice!That's pretty much all the highlights from our super engaging jobs and occupations lesson. I can't wait until our next class so we can learn more new things. English is hard sometimes with all the rules and exceptions, but amazing teachers like Mrs. Roberts make it a blast. Plus it will really help me in the future when I'm negotiating my multi-million dollar soccer contract! Until next time, keep on learning. Peace out!篇3My English Learning Adventure - Unit 2Wow, I can't believe we're already on Unit 2 of our Advanced English Learning book! The last unit was so much fun, but I'm ready to dive into some new and exciting topics.This unit is all about "Around the World." How cool is that? I love learning about different countries, cultures, and people. It's like going on a adventure without even leaving the classroom!One of the first things we learned about was famous landmarks from around the globe. We read descriptions and saw pictures of incredible structures like the Pyramids of Giza in Egypt, the Taj Mahal in India, and the Statue of Liberty in the United States. I was in awe at how massive and beautiful these landmarks are. I can only imagine what it must be like to see them in person!My favorite activity was when we had to research a landmark of our choice and create a poster presentation about it. I chose to do mine on the Great Wall of China. Did you know that it's over 13,000 miles long? That's almost long enough to go halfway around the Earth! I had so much fun learning all the fascinating facts and history behind this amazing structure. My poster turned out great, and I even got to dress up like a Chinese warrior to present it. My classmates thought it was really cool.We've also been practicing how to give directions and locate places on a map. This will definitely come in handy if I ever get to travel to different countries someday. Our teacher had us work in pairs, where one person had to guide the other to a secretlocation just using a map and verbal instructions. It was tricky at first, but after some practice, my partner and I became pros at navigating the maps without getting lost.Another highlight was when we learned about various cultural traditions and celebrations from different parts of the world. We read stories, listened to music, and even got to try some traditional foods from several countries. My favorite was definitely the sweet rice cakes we made to represent the Chinese New Year. They were so yummy!Overall, this unit on exploring the world has been an absolute blast. I feel like I've gone on a whirlwind tour through history, across continents, and into the hearts of fascinating cultures and traditions. Perhaps my next stop will be learning some new languages to prepare for my future travels!Who knows where Unit 3 will take us? I can't wait to find out. But for now, it's been an enriching journey through the wonders of our amazing world. Bring on the adventures!篇4Learning English is Super Fun!Hi everyone! My name is Timmy and I'm 8 years old. I love learning English because it's so much fun. My teacher just started teaching us from this really cool book called the "Advanced English Learning Guide Volume 2." We're on the second lesson and I want to tell you all about it!The lesson is all about describing people's appearances. In English, we can use lots of awesome words to say what someone looks like. We can talk about their hair, eyes, face, body and more. It's like being a detective and observing every little detail!My favorite part is learning the words for different hair colors and styles. Did you know there are so many more options than just "blonde" and "brown?" We can say "strawberry blonde," "raven black," "fiery red" and "chestnut brown." How cool is that? It's like giving someone's hair a fun code name.Then there are all the words for different hair textures too. Some people have "sleek and shiny" hair while others have "frizzy and unruly" locks. My best friend Jack has hair that always sticks straight up no matter what he does. I guess you could call it "spiky!"When we describe eyes, it gets even more exciting. We don't just say "blue" or "green." Nope, in English we can use vivid words like "sapphire," "emerald," "hazel" and "amber." It makesme think of precious gems and jewels. My eyes are just a boring "muddy brown," but my teacher has pretty "almond-shaped" eyes.Faces are a blast too. Some people have "chiseled" features with a "strong jawline." Other folks look "cherubic" with "rosy cheeks." My grandma always pinches my puffy cheeks and calls me her little "buttercup." How embarrassing!We've talked about different noses too. Some are "button noses" while others are more "aquiline" which means hooked like a bird's beak. My dad has a "bulbous" nose that my brother and I tease him about. But my mom says篇5Learning English - It's Fun and Easy!Hi there! My name is Emma and I'm 10 years old. I love learning English because it opens up a whole new world of books, movies, games, and friends from all over the globe. English is the coolest language ever!In my English class, we just started a new lesson about describing people's appearances and personalities. It's really interesting to learn all the new vocabulary words for hair colors,eye colors, body types, and traits like funny, smart, kind, or adventurous.My teacher showed us some pictures of different people and we had to describe what they looked like and seemed like as a person. There was this one guy who had spiky red hair, freckles, and a big goofy grin. I said he looked like a clown and seemed really goofy and fun. My best friend Sara disagreed though - she thought he just looked kind of weird and messy.Describing people is harder than you might think! You have to look at every little detail and try to put it into words. Like this篇6Learning English is Fun!Hi there! My name is Emily and I'm in 5th grade. Today I want to tell you all about the cool English lessons we've been having in class from this big book called the "Advanced English Learning Guide." It's a pretty funny name since I'm just a kid, but the lessons are actually lots of fun!In the last lesson, we learned about telling stories in English. Mrs. Robinson had us all pick our favorite fairy tales or make one up, and then we practiced retelling the story in our own words. Ipicked Little Red Riding Hood because that's always been one of my favorites. I remembered how the silly wolf tried to trick little Red by dressing up like her grandmother. But in the end, the huntsman rescued her and gave the wolf what he deserved!It was really hard at first to get all the details right in English. Sometimes I got mixed up on words like "woods" and "forest" or I'd forget whether Red's grandma lived in a "house" or a "cottage." But Mrs. Robinson was super patient and helped me get it straight. By the end, I could retell the whole story clearly. She said my English storytelling skills were excellent!For this latest lesson, we're learning how to describe things in great detail. Mrs. Robinson brought in a bunch of cool objects for us to practice with. One was this crazy looking sculpture made out of pipe cleaners all twisted up. It kind of looked like a porcupine or maybe a weird bunny! I raised my hand and gave a long description of how it had all these bendable stems sticking out in every direction, some thicker ones and some thin ones too.I said the colors were bright like a rainbow, with reds and blues and greens all mixed together.Another object was an old-fashioned rotary telephone. Remember those? It was this heavy black thing with a curly cord and a dial you had to stick your finger in and turn instead ofpushing buttons. I described how it felt really solid and smooth to the touch, but the dial part had those cool little holes and ridges. It made me imagine calling up someone from the olden days!Describing using English words is way harder than it looks. Like for the pipe cleaner sculpture, I got mixed up between words like "fuzzy" and "prickly". And for the phone, I struggled to explain how the dial part moved with words like "spin" or "twist" or "turn." Thank goodness Mrs. Robinson would gently correct me until I got it right.My favorite object was this weird retro lamp that looked like a rocket ship. I said it was shaped like a cone or pyramid, with a bright orange glass cover on top. The base was a chunky cylinder that kind of had a 50s sci-fi vibe. It felt cold and smooth, like it was made of metal or plastic. When you turned it on, the orange top glowed like a pumpkin! I had so much fun using descriptive words in English to paint that picture.After we described all the objects, Mrs. Robinson had us work with partners. One partner picked an object and the other had to listen carefully and draw it based on their description. Let me tell you, it was not easy! My partner Jayden described this ceramic mug, but I got the colors and the shape all mixed up onmy drawing. Jayden's picture of the rocket lamp looked pretty good, but he missed some of the biggest details. Like how the base was cylindrical or how the top almost looked like a flying saucer. No matter how hard we tried, our drawings never quite matched the real thing!But that's okay, because practice makes perfect. The more we describe objects out loud in English class, the better we're getting at it. Using all those vivid adjectives like "conical" or "cylindrical" or "translucent" is definitely a skill. Same with explaining how things look, feel, smell, or even sound. I never realized how many words you need for giving a clear picture with your descriptions!Pretty soon, I know I'll be a total pro at describing anything and everything in perfect English detail. Then whoever I describe something to will be able to imagine it just as clearly as if they were looking right at it! Maybe I'll even write some descriptive stories of my own one day. I could set them in worlds filled with crazy sculptures, funky lamps, and all sorts of whachmacallit doodads. The descriptions will be so vibrant and lifelike, it'll seem just as real as Little。

Scene 6
(Paragraph 24)As they went past, a tall, very young Negro turned and caught my eye. But the look he gave me was not in the least the kind of look you might expect. Not hostile, not contemptuous, not sullen, not even inquisitive. It was the shy, wide-eyed Negro look, which actually is a look of profound respect.
1. The historical roots of colonial domination
• The ambitions of imperialists to expand territory and seek hegemony • The abundant natural resources of weak countries
Scene 4
(Paragraph 18) Most of Morocco is so desolate that no wild animal bigger than a hare can live on it. Huge areas which were once covered with forest have turned into a treeless waste where the soil is exactly like broken-up brick. Nevertheless a good deal of it is cultivated, with frightful labour.

Scene 5
(Paragraph 19) Every afternoon a file of very old woman passes down the road outside my house, each carrying a load of firewood. All of them are mummified with age and the sun, and all of them are tiny. (Paragraph 21) Anyone can be sorry for the donkey with its galled back, but it is generally owing to some kind of accident if one even notices the old woman under her load of sticks.

Constructions of Colonial Domination
1.Breaking traditional isolation
Scene 2
(Paragragh6) An Arab navvy working on the path nearby lowered his heavy hoe and sidled slowly towards us. He looked from the gazelle to the bread and from the bread to the gazelle, with a sort of quiet amazement, as though he had never seen anything quite like this before. Finally he said shyly in French: “I could eat some of that bread.”
Scene 3ቤተ መጻሕፍቲ ባይዱ
(Paragraph 8) When you go through the Jewish quarters you gather some idea of what the medieval ghettoes were probably like. Under their Moorish rulers the Jews were only allowed to own land in certain restricted areas, and after centuries of this kind of treatment they have eased to bother about overcrowding. The houses are completely windowless, and sore-eyed children cluster everywhere in unbelievable numbers, like clouds of flies. Down the center of the street there is generally running a little river of urine.
Scene 6
Scene1
(Paragraph 2) What really appeals to the flies is that the corpses here are never put into coffins, they are merely wrapped in a piece of rag and carried on a rough wooden bier on the shoulders of four friends. They hack an oblong hole a foot or two deep, dump the body in it and fling over it a little of the dried-up, lumpy earth, which is like broken brick. No gravestone, no name, no identifying mark of any kind.
