Pre-reading Tasks

1．Warming up activities

Pair work/ group work: students work in pairs or groups to discuss their opinions about the following topics.

1. When did your story of learning English start off?

2. Do you enjoy learning English? Why?

I enjoy learning English, because I find it very interesting. First, in my opinion, English is

a beautiful language, including its pronunciation and shape. I enjoy speaking and listening to it.

3. Do you have any trouble learning English?

4. Do you think it useful to learn English with the help of some strategies?

5. What strategies do you think can be employed in English learning?

6. What do you think is the most effective way of learning English?

As far as I am concerned, seeing English movies is the most effective way of learning

English. I choose those movies that I have great interest in, such as cartoons. For each movie, I

will see at least three times—without subtitles, with Chinese ones and with English ones. And at

the same time speak loudly after the characters. Though enjoying movies, I make considerable

progress in English.

2. Information related to the text.

English as an International Language

Worldwide over 1.4billion people live in countries where English has official status. One

out of five of the world’s population speaks some English. Over 70% of the world’s

scientists read English. About 85% of the world’s mails written in English, and 90% of all

information in the world’s electronic retrieval systems is stored in English.

Language learning strategies

Language learning strategies are used by learners to complete speaking, reading, vocabulary,

listening and writing activities presented in language lessons. Recognizing that there is a task to

complete or a problem to solve, language learners will use whatever strategies they possess to

attend the language-learning activity.

Possible language learning strategies include: using practice opportunities, self-evaluation, selective attention, time management, reviewing notes taken in class and checking one’s understanding, constantly seeking answers to questions instead of passively receiving information, etc.

Active vocabulary and passive vocabulary

Active vocabulary consist of the words you use frequently and comfortably in speaking and writing, while passive vocabulary consists of the words you recognize when you read and listen. Input-output balance theory in language learning

Input in language learning refers to information read, seen or heard by the learner, while output refers to what the learner produces in writing and speaking. The input-output balance theory in language learning believes that one can learn a language well through maintaining a

balance between input and output.

English is not Real English.

Skimming and scanning

Global Reading

1. Parts division of the text

Part Ⅰ(Paras. 1-2) Introduce globally that while learning English is not easy, there are still

some helpful strategies.

Part Ⅱ(Paras. 3-8) Introduce six helpful strategies in detail.

Part Ⅲ(Para. 9) Conclude that language learning is a process of accumulation.

2. Summary

Learning English is not easy, but there are still some useful strategies that we can use to make it easier. The text introduces six strategies concerning vocabulary, idioms, listening, speaking, reading and writing, and these strategies cover the basic and important points in English learning. The text also tells us that language learning is a process of accumulation. It is worthwhile for us to take in as much as we can from reading and listening and then put them into practice through speaking and writing.

3. Decide whether the following statements about the text are true or false.

1) Language learners should memorize all the new words. (F)

While active words demand constant practice and memorization, words that do not often occur in everyday situations require just a nodding acquaintance.

2) It’s impossible to cram too many words into your head at a time.(T)

3) he meaning of a word and the way native speakers use it are equally important.(T)

4) Listening to English occasionally will improve your ear and speaking skills. (T)

5) It’s important to catch every detail in English listening comprehension. (F)

The first time one may not catch a great deal, but with each repetition one will get something more.

6) Language learners do not find many opportunities to practice oral English at school.(T)

4. Discourse Analysis

A strategy refers to a set of carefully planned methods for achieving something that is difficult and may take a long time.

In introducing some strategies, the author adopts the structure of Problem—Strategy within a paragraph to show us the problems in English learning and then proposes strategies to solve

5. What strategies do you think can be employed in English learning?

Suggested Strategies:

Make your own oppotunities for practice in using the language inside and outside the classroom.

Specific ways:

1)ask your teacher questions before, during and after class.

2)speak to a foreigner

3)listen to an English radio program.

4)watch an English movie.

5)read an English article on the Internet.

6)use English software.

Language Points

1.Learning English is by no means easy. It takes great diligence and prolonged

effort.(L1-2)

Paraphrase:

Although you have to work hard continually in order to be good at English, you can also make use of some learning strategies to help you attain your goal.

2.Nevertheless, while you cannot expect to gain a good command of English without

sustained hard work, there are vatious helpful learning strategies you can employ to make the task easier. Here are some of them.(L3-5)

1) While引导让步状语从句，主句中you can employ to make the task easier是省略到关系代

词that的定语从句，修饰strategies.

2) employ: vt.

①pay someone to work for you

Example: The factory employs over 2000 people.

②use a particular object, method, skill, etc. in order to achieve something

Example: The report examines teaching methods employed in the classroom.

★employ, hire & engage

①employ 表示支付薪水，较长期、固定地雇用某人。

Example: Hotels employ more women than men.

②hire表示支付一定钱额，雇用某人短期从事某项工作。

Example: I hired a bricklayer to build a wall on the balcony.

③engage表示任命、安排某人从事某项工作。

Example: The boss has engaged a new secretary.

Paraphrase:

Nevertheless, although you cannot expect to master English if you do not work hard continuously for a long time, you can use some helpful learning strategies to make the task easier.

What is the implied meaning of these two sentences?

On the one hand, the author states the fact that English learning is a very difficult task; on the other hand, the author foreshadows that some strategies are needed to help us fulfill the tough task.

3. But, in fact, it is not your memory that is at fault. If you cram your head with too many new words at a time, some of them are bound to be crowed out.(L8-10) Paraphrase:

But, actually, you should not blame your memory. If you memorize too many new words at a time, some of them are likely to be forget.

4. What you need to do is to deal with new words in different ways according to how frequently they occur in everyday use. (L10-12)

1) 本句中的主语是what you need to do，是由what引导的主语从句，而how frequently they occur in everyday use是由how引导的从句，做according to的宾语。to deal with是动词不定式作表语。

Example: Your health is what we really care about。

2）Occur:happen

Example: Pattern: It occurs to somebody to do (sth.).

It never seems to occur to my children to contact me.

我的孩子们似乎从来想不到和我联络。

5.While active words demand constant practice and useful words must be committed to memory, words that do not often occur in everyday situations require just a nodding acquaintance. (L12-14)

1）主干：Words require just a nooding acquaintance. While引导两个让步状语从句，主句中的that do not often occur in everyday situations是定语从句，修饰words.

2) What does the author mean by ―a nodding acquaintance‖?

This phrase is used as a metaphor. An acquaintance refers to someone we know slightly but who is not a close friend. So we only nod as a greeting when we see him or her. This interpersonal relationship is used to interpret the attitude we should hold to words that do not often occur in everyday situations.

Paraphrase:

We should often practice the use of active words, those which frequently occur in everyday use, and learn by heart those useful words, while we only need recognize those words which occur less frequently in everyday situations.

6. In learning English, you must pay attention not only to the meaning of a word, but also to the way native speakers use it in their daily lives.(L20-21)

1) 本句用not only…but also连接了两个并列的名词性结构作动词短语的宾语，第二个结

构中存在一个定语从句the way in which native speakers use it in their daily lives，省略了in which。

2) not only...but also...

Example: Not only the mother but also her children are sick.

7.Listening to English on a regular basis will not only improve your ear, but will also help you build your speaking skills. (L22-23)

1) Listening to English是动名词短语作主语，两个位于由关联词组not only...but also...连接。

2) on a regular basis: often and according to a set frequency

Example: I write to him on a regular basis.

3) ear：uses single form, means ―the sense of hearing or the ability to identify the sounds‖Example: She has a very good ear for music.

4) What can we infer from the sentence?

Example:Listening practice is contributive to the development of both listening and speaking skills. Paraphrase:

Listening to English every day will not only develop your linsing comprehension, but also help you practice your speaking.

8. In addition to language tapes especially prepared for your course, you can also listen

to English radio broadcasts, watch English TV, and see English movies. (L24-26)

1) in addition to: used to add another piece of information to what has just been said

in addition to表示―除…之外‖，后接具体事物；in addition 在句中作状语，表示―此外‖。

例如：这家公司提供廉价的因特网访问服务。此外，还做免费的共享软件。

Example: The company provides cheap Internet access. In addition, it makes free shareware. 9. The first time you listen to a taped conversation or passage in English, you may not be able to catch a great deal.

1) catch: v.

①get and hold; capture and seize

Example: The kids were throwing and catching a frisbee down on the beach.

②see (sb.) doing (sth.)

Example: I caught him reading my private letters.

10. It is true that there are few situations at school where you have to communicate in English, but you can seek out opportunities to practice speaking the language. (L30-32)

1) 本句中是由but连接两个并列句，It is true…but…相当于although引导的让步状语从

句。前一个分句中的it做形式主语，真正的主语为that引导的主语从句，其中包含where 引导的定语从句，修饰school。

2) 本句可改写为：Although there are few situation at school where you have to communicate

in English, you can seek out opportunities to practice speaking the language.

11. After you have made a purchase in a shop or finished a meal in a restaurant and paid

the check, pretend that all this happened in an English-speaking country and try to act it out in English. (L45-47)

在本句中after引导时间状语从句，主句中有两个谓语动词，分别是pretend和try, that all this happened in an English-speaking country做pretend的宾语。

12. It pays to absorb as much as you can from reading and listening and then try to put

what you have learned into practice through speaking and writing. (L60-62)

1) 本句中it做形式主语，真正的主语是后面的两个不定式：to absorb…and try to put…，

put后面是由what引导的宾语从句。

2) pay: v. give money in exchange for goods or services; bear a cost or penalty

Example:He paid the bill.

Collection:

it pays to do (sth.) 做某事是大有益处的

pay attention to 注意

pay tribute to 赞颂

pay a call/vist to 拜访

pay off 付清

pay out 付出

Paraphrase:

It is worthwhile for you to master knowledge as much as possible from reading and listening, and then try to put what you have learned into practice through speaking and writing.

Lesson Eight The Kindness of Strangers Mike Mclntyre 1. One summer I was driving from my home town of Tahoe City, Calif, to New Orleans. In the middle of the desert, I came upon a young man standing by the roadside. He had his thumb out and held a gas can in his other hand. I drove right by him. There was a time in the country when you' d be considered a jerk if you passed by somebody in need. Now you are a fool for helping. With gangs, drug addicts, murderers, rapists, thieves lurking everywhere, "I don't want to get involved" has become a national motto. 2. Several states later I was still thinking about the hitchhiker. Leaving him stranded in the desert did not bother me so much. What bothered me was how easily I had reached the decision. I never even lifted my foot off the accelerator. 3. Does anyone stop any more? I wondered. I recalled Blanche DuBois's famous line: "I have always depended on the kindness of strangers." Could anyone rely on the kindness of strangers these days? One way to test this would be for a person to journey from coast to coast without any money, relying solely on the good will of his fellow Americans. What kind of Americans would he find? Who would feed him, shelter him, carry him down the road? 4. The idea intrigued me. 5. The week I turned 37, I realized that I had never taken a gamble in my life. So I decided to travel from the Pacific to the Atlantic without a penny. It would be a cashless journey through the land of the almighty dollar. I would only accept offers of rides, food and a place to rest my head. My final destination would be Cape Fear in North Carolina, a symbol of all the fears I'd have to conquer during the trip. 6. I rose early on September 6, 1994, and headed for the Golden Gate Bridge with a 50-pound pack on my back and a sign displaying my destination to passing vehicles: "America." 7. For six weeks I hitched 82 rides and covered 4223 miles across 14 states. As I traveled, folks were always warning me about someplace else. In Montana they told me to watch out for the cowboys in Wyoming, In Nebraska they said people would not be as nice in Iowa. Yet I was treated with kindness everywhere I went. I was amazed by people's readiness to help a stranger, even when it seemed to run contrary to their own best interests. 8. One day in Nebraska a car pulled to the road shoulder. When I reached the window, I saw two little old ladies dressed in their Sunday finest." I know you're not supposed to pick up hitchhikers, but it's so far between towns out here, you feel bad passing a person," said the driver, who introduced herself as Vi. I didn't know whether to kiss them or scold them for stopping. This woman was telling me she'd rather risk her life than feel bad about passing a stranger on the side of the road. 9. Once when I was hitchhiking unsuccessfully in the rain, a trucker pulled over, locking his brakes so hard he skidded on the grass shoulder. The driver told me he was once robbed at knifepoint by a hitchhiker. "But I hate to see a man stand out in the rain," he added. "People don't have no heart anymore." 10. I found, however, that people were generally compassionate. Hearing I had no money and would take none, people bought me food or shared whatever they happened to have with them. Those who had the least to give often gave the most. In Oregon a house painter named Mike noted the chilly weather and asked if I had a coat. When he learned that I had "a light one," he drove me to his house, and handed me a big green army-style jacket. A lumber-mill worker named Tim invited me to a simple dinner with his family in their shabby house. Then he offered me his tent. I refused, knowing it was probably one of the family's most valuable possessions. But Tim was determined that I have it, and finally I agreed to take it. 11. I was grateful to all the people I met for their rides, their food, their shelter, and their gifts. But what I found most touching was the fact that they all did it as a matter of course.

Lesson One Half a Day Naguib Mahfous 1. I walked alongside my father, clutching his right hand. All my clothes were new: the black shoes, the green school uniform, and the red cap. They did not make me happy, however, as this was the day I was to be thrown into school for the first time. 2. My mother stood at the window watching our progress, and I turned towards her from time to time, hoping she would help. We walked along a street lined with gardens, and fields planted with crops: pears, and date palms. 3. "Why school ?" I asked my father. "What have I done ?" 4. "I'm not punishing you, " he said, laughing. "School's not a punishment. It's a place that makes useful men out of boys. Don' t you want to be useful like your brothers?" 5. I was not convinced. I did not believe there was really any good to be had in tearing me away from my home and throwing me into the huge, high-walled building. 6. When we arrived at the gate we could see the courtyard, vast and full of boys and girls. "Go in by yourself, " said my father, "and join them. Put a smile on your face and be a good example to others. " 7. I hesitated and clung to his hand, but he gently pushed me from him. "Be a man, " he said. "Today you truly begin life. You will find me waiting for you when it's time to leave. " 8. I took a few steps. Then the faces of the boys and girls came into view. I did not know a single one of them, and none of them knew me. I felt I was a stranger who had lost his way. But then some boys began to glance at me in curiosity, and one of them came over and asked, "Who brought you?" 9. "My father, " I whispered. 10. "My father's dead, " he said simply. 11. I did not know what to say. The gate was now closed. Some of the children burst into tears. The bell rang. A lady came along, followed by a group of men. The men began sorting us into ranks. We were formed into an intricate pattern in the great courtyard surrounded by high buildings; from each floor we were overlooked by a long balcony roofed in wood. 12. "This is your new home, "said the woman. "There are mothers and fathers here, too. Everything that is enjoyable and beneficial is here. So dry your tears and face life joyfully. " 13. Well, it seemed that my misgivings had had no basis. From the first moments I made many friends and fell in love with many girls. I had never imagined school would have this rich variety of experiences. 14. We played all sorts of games. In the music room we sang our first songs. We also had our first introduction to language. We saw a globe of the Earth, which revolved and showed the various continents and countries. We started learning numbers, and we were told the story of the Creator of the universe. We ate delicious food, took a little nap, and woke up to go on with friendship and love, playing and learning. 15. Our path, however, was not totally sweet and unclouded. We had to be observant and patient. It was not all a matter of playing and fooling around. Rivalries could bring about pain and hatred or give rise to
