Gail's father, David, whom I had not yet met personally, approached our decision with a father-knows-best attitude. He basically asked the same questions as Gail's mother: "Why the haste? Who is this Mark? What's his citizenship status? " And when he learned of my problems with the citizenship department, he immediately suspected that I was marrying his daughter in order to remain in the United States.

U3--教师用书--现代大英(第二版)基础写作(上)
现代大学英语（第二版）基础写作（上）教师用书Unit 3Task One: Summary WritingActivity 1Summarizing a story section by sectionSummarize “The Midnight Visitor,” using the above guidelines just given and those stated in the previous units. Here are some questions for you to think about while reading the text.1.Ausable, an American secret agent. A summary should focus on him because thestory portrays the main character rather than narrates an incident he is involved in.2.Max, the German spy. He is important and shouldn’t be left out because theconflict is the struggle between him and Ausable.3.Fowler, the young American writer. He has no part in the conflict. In the story hisfunction is to heighten a professional secret agent’s presence of mind against an inexperienced young writer’s fright in a dangerous situation.Section 1 (Paras. 1 – 4)Study the three summaries that describe the main character. Explain which of them is the best, and what is wrong with the other two.Summary 1 is the best of the three. It is objective, complete, and balanced. Second, the length is just right, about one-fourth of the original.Summary 2 focuses on a minor character although the length is all right.Summary 3 includes an unimportant detail in the last but one sentence. The second half is a repetition of what is stated in the opening sentence. And an important detail—Fowler’s presence and his impression of Ausable—is left out.Section 2 (Paras. 5 – 13)Summarize this section orally, making your summary one-third to one-fourth the length of the original. Before you summarize the passage answer these questions and list the important points you think should be included in the summary.1.He told Fowler that he would soon witness something exciting—animportant paper was to be delivered to him.2.It was a German secret agent, Ausable’s old opponent.3.He had come to get the report that was on its way to Ausable’s place.4.He remained calm. He behaved as if he had seen an old friend.5. A balcony outside the window of his room. He said he believed it was wherehis enemy had got into the room.Now list the facts you think should be included in the summary.1.Ausable told Fowler an important paper would soon be delivered to him.2.He found in his room a man with a pistol.3.The man was Max, a German spy, an old opponent.4.He wanted to get the paper Ausable mentioned.5.Ausable remained calm.6.He spoke as if he thought Max had entered his room through a balcony andtalked at length about it.Work out an outline based on the list.Thesis: Ausable worked out a plan to deal with his opponent.Outline:-Ausable told Fowler an important paper was to be delivered to him soon.-In his room, Ausable found his old opponent who had come for the same paper.-He had a plan to deal with the situation and made the man believe there was a balcony outside the window.Section 3 (Paras. 14-16)Summarize this passage orally.Ausable told the young writer that a very important paper was to be delivered to him that night. When they entered his room, Ausable found an old opponent of his threatening them with a pistol. The man had come for the very same paper. Looking angry, Ausable started complaining about a balcony outside the window of his room. He spoke as if he believed that his enemy had got in through the balcony, but the man said he had used a passkey.Section 4 (Paras. 17-28)Now list the facts you think should be included in the summary.-They heard a knock at the door.-Ausable said that he had sent for the police for protection.-Max moved to the window, intending to hide on the balcony.-The doorknob turned and Max dropped to what he thought was the balcony.- A waiter walked in with the drink Ausable had ordered.-Ausable told Fowler there was no police and Max would not return.Work out an outline based on the list.Thesis: Ausable defeated his opponent. / Ausable’s plan worked.Outline:-When someone knocked at the door, Ausable made the man believe it was the police.-The man moved to the window and was ready to hide on the balcony.-When the doorknob turned, the man dropped to his death as there was no balconySummarize the passage orally.Then they heard a knock at the door. Ausable said it was the police he had sent for to protect the paper. Max became nervous. He moved to the window, intending to hide on the balcony, and he told Ausable to send the police away. When the doorknob turned, he dropped out of the window. A waiter entered with the drink Ausable hadordered. Ausable then told Fowler that he had not asked the police for protection and said the man with the gun would not return.Activity 2: Summarizing a story in chronological orderRead the following narrative essay entitled “A Home of a Different Sort” section by section, summarize each section in one sentence and write the sentence in the space below.Section 1 (Paras. 1-2)1.Jeff decided to work with a ski patrol while his father demanded he went tocollege, and said he would disown/reject him if he didn’t.2.Father and son had become estranged since then.Main idea:Jeff was estranged from his father after a bitter argument about his future when he graduated from high school.Section 2 (Paras. 3-12)1.He was now doing is for himself, not for his father, after working as a planner fora big company.2.It was a trick Jeff’s sister planned and played for the estranged father and son tohave a “chance” meeting.Main idea: Years later, Jeff was attending college and kept it a secret from his father until the day of his graduation ceremony.Section 3 (Paras. 13-16)1.The father must have had mixed feelings. On the one hand he must have felt proudof his son and was anxious to welcome him back. On the other hand, he might have felt sorry for those harsh words he said to his son.The son was moved by the change in his formerly cold and stern father and was anxious to go home.Main idea:the estranged father and son were reconciled.✍Writing Assignment OneAnswers may vary.Task Two: Paragraph WritingActivity 3 Learning to create a dominant impressionRead the following paragraph from “Silk Parachute” by John McPhee and respond to the questions that follow it.1.

3. When I was a child, we never varied our Christmas Eve ritual. We always began our private celebration promptly at 6 p.m. on December 24 when the whole family assembled in our small kitchen. We watched as Mother and my older sister prepared a light supper. As soon as we finished the meal, we rushed into the living room to decorate the tree. The younger children started the decorating by putting tinsel and colorful
balls on the branches near the base of the tree. Meanwhile, the two older children were placing ornaments on the higher branches. Finally, our parents completed the decorating by placing a beautiful goldenhaired angel at the very top of the tree. After we finished the tree, we hurriedly dressed and walked down the street to Midnight Mass. As we listened to the service, we remembered the reason we celebrated Christmas. Then we returned home where we ate some of Mother's Christmas goodies. We always ended our Christmas Eve ritual around 2 a.m. by gathering around the tree and singing "Silent Night."

• Both are faulty generalizations. • Sentence 1. The sentence moves from some
Americans to a conclusion drawn on all Americans. This is a problem of overgeneralization.
• 2.On TV, I saw George Bush signing documents with his left hand. I saw Ronald Reagan signing documents with his left hand. I saw Bill Clinton signing documents with his left hand during his recent trip to China. Clearly, all American presidents are left-handed.
• The importance of a sentence in a paragraph corresponds closely to its level of generality: the more important a statement is in a paragraph, the higher its level of generality.
• Questions
• 1. Underline the generalization in each group.
• Group 1: The mass media are often badly used.
• Group 2: Television has bad effects on people.

写出景物的特征 丁虹一、导入    “天边渐渐地亮起来，这时好像谁在那淡青色的天畔抹上了一层粉红色；在粉红色下面隐藏着无数道金光。
猛然间仿佛起了一阵响声似的，于是粉红色的云片被冲开了，天空顿时开展起来。
”    “蓝天已被它染红了一角，青山的顶也带了灿烂的红光。
离太阳不远的几片紫色和淡墨色的云被日光烘托起，成了特别的颜色，还镶上一道宽的金边。
”    以上两段文字皆选自巴金的小说。
不用细辨，你自能区分出“朝夕”。
原因何在？关键是作者抓住了两者的光色特征。
    再来看一个故事。
古时有一地主，家住北方。
一日听人说江南的苏州园林甚妙，遂差家仆依样仿制。
工毕，赞叹不已。
后游江南得亲见，叹日：“不如其十之一也。
”    其实不是家仆仿得不像，而是未渗入江南园林独有的气蕴。
    以上两例给我们的写作带来很大启示，即写景状物时如能抓其特征则拨云见日，否则难免雾里看花。

8) As the weary inhabitants of Beirut struggle to rebuild their warravaged (被战争毁坏的) city, evidence is emerging that it faces another threat. In AD 551 ancient Beirut was levelled, not by civil war but by a natural disaster. Some historians think the disaster was wrought by tsunamis (飓风、海啸) triggered by earthquakes elsewhere in the eastern Mediterranean. But new archaeological excavations in downtown Beirut point strongly towards a local event—an earthquake so severe that scarcely a pillar, column or arch of the city built by the Romans was left standing. What’s more though the standard wisdom is that the city should escape the worst of the region’s quakes, research published this month reveals an active earthquake fault running right through its heart.

English Writing II
Warm-up Activities
• Introduce your university/dormitory/classroom... • What’s your overall impression of the university? • Which building or location catches your attention first? • Which place do you want to describe next? And then? • What do you want to describe last? • What order does your description follow? Why do you choose this order?
• Paragraph A is developed according to time sequence, which shows the chronological order through the use of such time signals as 30,000,000 years ago, 2400 BC, 600 BC, AD 200, AD 100. • Paragraph B is arranged according to space, which describes the cultivation of the grape from its original place.
• Sample 2 • Questions: • 1. Which is the topic sentence? • The first sentence is the topic sentence.
• 2. What’s the method used to develop the paragraph? • The paragraph is developed in space order.
• 2. What does the writer describe first? And last? What order does he/she follow? What do you think he/she has followed that particular order? • The first thing the writer describes is the closet, and the last is a dresser. The description is organized according to the spatial order. The writer presents an orderly description just as his eyes might move from right to left around the room.
• Reference : • In a paragraph describing your university, you might develop the paragraph by space in several different ways: • 1) You might use some important landmark, for example, the library, and describe other locations in relation to it. The order in which you discuss each location is not as important as their relationships with the landmark.
• Summarize the pattern of the paragraph: • This paragraph is a description of “my grandfather’s barn.” In order to create a “deplorable” impression, the writer selects very specific words and arranges these descriptive details in a natural order of their physical layout: from the exterior to the interior of the barn. The details concerning the outside of the barn are arranged from the top of the barn to the bottom; those about the inside are arranged from left to right, to the rear, and finally to the overhead. Through this orderly sequence, the reader can visualize the scene very vividly and grasp the relationships of the objects.
• 5) schedule – on the wall above the nightstand • 6) desk – the left wall • 7) medals – on the shelves • 8) window – next to the desk • 9) dresser – between the window and the left corner
•
2) You might use an important landmark as the starting point and move from it to the next location, on to another, and so on, perhaps ending back at the original landmark. • 3) Another type of development by space might stress the boundaries of an area. The order in which these are listed is not necessarily important so long as there is a logical progression from location to location. • 4) Still another spatial development might stress the inter-relationships between locations.
• Here are the places mentioned in Paragraph B. • Grape Cultivation • Starting from the Caspian Sea • To Asia Minor • Greece • Sicily • France • Germany • England • India • America
Unit 3 Places
• In this unit emphasis will be laid on the organizational features of description by space or spatial order.

• 3. Please finish the following partial outline according to how the details are arranged. • The central focus is a deplorable barn. • The general arrangement of details is from the outside of the barn to the inside. • There are two other patterns: details concerning the outside are arranged from top to bottom; those concerning the inside are arranged from left to right, to the rear, and finally to the overhead
• Sample 3 • Questions: • 1. What is described in the paragraph? • An athlete’s room is described in the paragraph.
• 3. First match the objects described with the corresponding phrases of location. Then put them in the right order according to the sequence in which they appear in the description. • 1) closet – to my right • 2) cap – on the shelf • 3) bed – the far wall • 4) lamp – on the top of the nightstand to the left of the bed
