2. How to write a college
essay:
An essay
normally has three main parts: Introduction, body
and conclusion.
Introduction: The introduction part is
usually one short paragraph that introduces the
topic to be discussed and the thesis
statement. A thesis statement can be an opinion,
an
attitude or a stand about the topic.
Body: The body
is the main part of an essay. It may contain
several short paragraphs
that
use
the
development
methods
of
examples,
narrative,
cause
and
effect,
comparison and contrast,
classification, argumentation, etc.
Conclusion: The conclusion
wraps up the discussion of a certain topic. It can
briefly
summarize
the
main
points
discussed
and
can
also
restate
the
thesis
statement
by
using different words and
structures. At the end of the conclusion, the
writer’s final
thoughts on the topic
may be added such as a predication, a suggestion,
or a warning.

IV
. Structure Analysis:
Main idea of
section A: this text is a narrative that talks
about the author’s personal
experience
in
giving an
effective
English lesson
to
his
son. He claims that
students
can learn better if they are properly
taught.
Part I (Paras. 1-5)
This part introduces the
background of the story. It presents the
thesis statement: Students unfairly
bear the bulk of the criticism for these knowledge
deficits because there is a sense that
they should know better.
Part
II
(Paras.6-
13) This part contains
two major sections to
support the author’s
point
of
view.
The
first
section
claims
that
students
should
not
be
blamed
for
their
language
deficiency
due
to
two
major
reasons:1)
they
are
misled
by
the
language
environment;2) they are not learning
the language adequately and efficiently in school.
The second section elaborates the
author’s personal opinion about the importance of
grammar and vocabulary, by way of
metaphors.
新视野大学英语第二册（第三版）教案
Para. II (Para. 14-17) Toward the end,
the author narrates another incident where
his
son
unconsciously
uttered
a
grammatically
perfect
sentence
with
a
subjunctive
mood and he’s
proud of his son.
Step 3 Language
points
Detailed study of
the text
1. If I am the
only parent who still correc
ts his
child’s English, then perhaps my son is
right.
To
him,
I
am
a
tedious
oddity:
a
father
he
is
obliged
to
listen
to
and
a
man
absorbed in the rules of
grammar, which my son seems allergic to. (Para. 1)
Meaning:
My
son
is
probably
right
if
there
is
no
other
parent
like
me
who
still
corrects his child’s mistake in
English. To my son, I am a boring and strange
father,
who he has to listen to I am
also the one who pays lots of attention to grammar
rules,
which he doesn’t seem to like.
2. She nodded three or four
times searched the heavens for the right words,
and then
exclaimed, it was like,
whoa!
Meaning : she nodded
her head three or four times, tried to find the
right words in her
mind and then
shouted with excitement it was like whoa!
Meaning beyond words: Since
the student was not quite sure how to exactly
describe
her
travel
experience,
the
tone
of
the
author
is
somewhat
sarcastic.
The
author
intended
to
send
out
the
message
that
the
student
was
incompetent
regarding
the
selection of her English vocabulary.
search somewhere for sth.:
try to find sth. in some place

suitable
words

describe
what
she
saw
and
experienced
when
traveling in Europe.
civilization
of
Greece
and
the
glory
of
Roman
architecture
were
captured
in
condensed non-statement. (para.4)
Meaning:
The
civilization of Greece and the
glory of
Roman architecture were just
described
in
one
word
rather
than
a
complete
statement
because
of
her
inability
to
choose appropriate words to express
herself
。
4. My
student ―whoa‖ was exceeded only by my
head
-shaking distress. (para. 4)
Meaning:
My
head-shaking
distress
at
her
inability
to
express
properly
was
even
greater
than
her
slang
term
whoa,
one
word,
which
did
not
make
any
statement
to
describe the civilization of Greece and
the glory of Roman architecture.
Meaning
beyond
words:
The
word
exceed
states
explicitly
that
the
authors
worry
about his student's language inability
was much more intense than her excitement.
5.
Surely
students
should
be
able
to
distinguish
between
their/there/they're
on
the
distinctive difference
between complimentary and complementary (para. 5)
Meaning:
Of
course,
students
should
be
able
to
recognize
and
understand
the
differences
between
their/
there/they're
on
the
obvious

grocery stores point them to the stationary, even
though the
actual stationery - pads,
albums and notebooks - are not items nailed down.
(para. 6)
Meaning:

students
to
the
―stationary‖
department

stationery
like
pads

notebooks.
However, these displayed stationery
items are movable but not nailed down.
Meaning
beyond
words:
Taking
the
wrong
spelled
signs
in
grocery
stores
as
an
example, the author argues that it is
not students’ fault. The verb phrase nail down is
cleverly used
to describe
the funny situation: movable ―stationery‖ items

and student
organizations covering every possible interest
from the arts to science, to
community
service and so on. (para4)
7. Therefore, it doesn’t make any sense
to criticize our studen
ts (para. 6)
Meaning: So, there's no
good reason to criticize our students. Which is
unfair to them.
8.
Moreover, the younger teachers themselves
evidently have little knowledge of these
vital structures of language because
they also went without exposure to them. (para.
7)

addition, the young teachers obviously know little
about these important
structures of
language since they also didn’t have the chance to

prior learning

about

asked
me
what

Slowly,
I

―it's a word that tells you something about a
verb.‖ It led to his asking me what
a
v
erb was. I explained, ―Verbs are
action words; for example, Dad drives the truck.
Drive is the verb because it's the
thing dad is doing.‖ (para. 9)
Meaning: fascinated by my correction,
he wondered what an adverb was. After he got
the answer, he went on with the
question of a verb. To explain vividly to him, I
used
the example of driving: an action
I was doing. Meaning beyond words: The boy was
very
alert
to
something
new
or
interesting.
His
learning
experience
illustrates
that
learning grammar is not necessarily
boring.
11. Then, out of
his own curiosity, he asked me if other words had
names for their use
and functions.
(para. 10)
Meaning:
After

12. Perhaps, language
should be looked upon as a road map and a valuable
possession:
often
study
the
road
map
(check
grammar)
and
tune
up
the
car
engine
(adjust
vocabulary).
Learning grammar and a good vocabulary is just
like driving with a road
map in a well-
conditioned car (para. 11)
Meaning:
Maybe,
you
should
regard
language
as
a
road
map
and
a
very
precious
property
you
have.
You
should
often
look
at
the
road
map
(review
grammar)
and
make small changes to
your car engine (improve vocabulary).
Meaning beyond words: The road map and
the car are used metaphorically to mean
that
grammar
and
vocabulary
are
powerful
devices
that
will
enable
you
to
freely
explore in the language world.
13. Equipped with grammar
and a good vocabulary, you have flexibility and
excellent
control. (para. 12)
Meaning beyond words: Just
as traveling with a road map and a good car, with
the
help of grammar knowledge and a
large vocabulary, you will feel more comfortable
and confident when using the English
language.

Step 2 Section A An Impressive English
Lesson
I. Background
information
1. the
humanities
The
humanities are a group of academic disciplines
that study the human condition,
using
methods that are primarily analytical, critical,
or speculative. Therefore, they are
distinguished
from
the
approaches
of
the
natural
sciences.
The
humanities,
called
social sciences, include history,
anthropology, communication studies, cultural
studies,
law,
language,
literature,
philosophy,
religion,
music
and
theater,
etc.
Through
exploration of the
humanities, students learn how to think creatively
and critically, to
reason, and to ask
questions. Because these skills allow students to
gain new insights
into everything from
poetry and paintings to business models and
politics, humanistic
subjects
have
been
at
the
heart
of
a
liberal
arts
education.
Today,
humanistic
knowledge
continues to provide the ideal foundation for
exploring and understanding
the human
experience.
2.
self-awareness
Self-
awareness isn’t a
quality that you demonstrate by telling a story,
but rather it has
to do with how you
tell the story and your ability to communicate
what you learned.
Being
able
to
explain
to
the
admissions
committee
why
you
value
one
accomplishment
above
others,
what
you
learned
from
a
setback,
or
the
deeper
meaning
of
your
career
goals,
is
evidence
of
self-
awareness.
Furthermore,
the
self-aware individual has knowledge of
both his strengths and weaknesses.

Ⅳ
.Structure
Analysis:
Main
idea of section A: this text is a narrative that
talks about the author’s personal
experience in
giving an
effective English lesson
to
his
son. He claims that
students
can learn better if
they are properly taught.
Part I (Paras. 1-5) Part I provides the
background information of the argument. By
moving
away
from
the
humanities
and
taking
some
―hard
-skill
courses
instead,
students
think
it
would
improve
their
chance
of
finding
a
job.
Because
of
the
economic downturn, this trend is likely
to persist and even accelerate. However, the
humanities play a significant role in
people’s lives and can’t be ignored.
Part
II
(Paras.6-
9)
Part
II
presents
the
author’s
argument
to
stand
up
for
th
e
true
value of the
humanities: studying the humanities can improve
our ability to read and
write, invest
us with great insight and self-awareness, thereby
releasing our creative
energy and
talent, and provide the scope of possibilities
that are widely open to us. It
also
suggests that inner insight, combined with
technical knowledge, is ideal for the
establishment of a good career.
Part
III (Para.
10) Part
III summaries
the
main ideas stated in
the argument: The
humanities
help
to
create
well-
rounded
human
beings
with
inner
insight
and
understanding of the passions, hopes
and dreams common to all humanity

II. Structure
Analysis:
Main
idea of section A: this text is a narrative that
talks about the author’s personal
experience in
giving an
effective English lesson
to
his
son. He claims that
students
can learn better if
they are properly taught.
Part1
(Para.
1)
Explains
how
the
traditional
way
labeled
previous
life
stages:
childhood, adolescence, adulthood and
old ages
Part 2
(Paras.2) This transitional paragraph claims that
the way of viewing different
life
stages is changing.
Part 3
(Paras3-5) Introduces a new life stage, the
odyssey years, using comparison
and
contrast. Specifically, Paragraph 3 describes what
young people used to do after
college.
Paragraph 4 presents young people’s assumption of
adulthood people today.
Paragraph 5
compares the image of young people today in the
past and present.
Part
4
(Paras6-10)
This
part
exclusively
deals
with
the
characteristics
of
the
odyssey
years
such as
young people’s
rebellious reaction, parents’ feelings
toward
the growing children, no new
guidelines, young people holding traditional
aspirations
and so on
Step 3 Language points
Detailed study of the text
1. Most of us know about
the phases of life which we label to parallel
different age
groups and life stages:
childhood, adolescence, adulthood, and old age.
(Para. 1)
Meaning: Most of
us know about the different life stages that we
describe according
to different age
groups: childhood, adolescence, adulthood, and old
age.
2.
We
think
of
infancy
before
childhood
and
middle
age
before
old
age,
with
each
unique
phase bringing it’s own peculiar set of
challenges. (Para. 1)
Meaning: We sequence the life stages of
infancy, childhood, middle age and old age
according to their natural order, with
each particular life stage facing its own featured
challenges.
3.
These challenges can be overcome by acquainting
ourselves with them, such as the
child’s need to learn, the adult’s need
to find the right career and build a family, and
the senior’s need for support and good
health care. (Para. 1)
Meaning: By familiarizing ourselves
with the particular challenges such as the needs
for
different
age
groups:
child,
adult,
and
senior,
we
can
surely
overcome
all
these
challenges.
Meaning beyond words: If we stay
positive and optimistic, we’ll successfully handle
the challenges at different life
stages.
4. Interestingly,
ideas about the stages of life are changing.
(Para. 2)
Meaning beyond
words: Since the sentence states that the ideas
about life stages are
新视野大学英语第二册（第三版）教案
changing, it’s predictable that the
following text will foc
us on this
topic.
5. In previous
times, people didn’t have a solid idea of
childhood as being separate
from
adulthood. A hundred years ago, no one thought of
adolescence. (Para. 3)
Meaning: In the past, people didn’t
have a clear concept about separating
childhood
from
adulthood.
Children
were
simply
seen
as
youngsters.
Likewise,
people
didn’t
think about the life stage of
adolescence a hundred years ago.
6.
Until recently it was
understood as
a norm that
their induction
to
adulthood was
completed as soon as they graduated
from college. They would now find a sensible
job
which
would
lead
to
a
career.
(Para.
3)
Meaning:
People
used
to
consider
it
normal: As soon as
students graduated from college, they would become
part of the
adult community and find a
practical and reliable job toward a career.
7.
Then
during
this
career
they
would
start
a
family,
ideally
before
they
turned
30.
(Para. 3)
Meaning:
While
working
on
their
career,
they
would
get
married
to
start
their
own
family, preferably by
age 30.

equivalent need to recognize a new phase of life
that comes after

and having a
career, the so-called odyssey years. (Para. 4)
Meaning: Today we are also

Meaning: They get confused
because it’s hard to communicate with their
parents and
also because the journey of
self-discovery they need in this particular life

ried about
their grown children’s future
but don’t
