Lesson 33
A day to remember
What
incident began the series of traffic
accidents?
Two
cars
collided
and the
drivers began to argue.
Why was There a
second angry argument ?
Because the
lorry driver blamed the owner of the cake for his
accident
What might have prevented a
chain reaction following the initial
collision?
Had
there been a more experienced driver
behind the two cars.
1, What is the
topic sentence for the first paragraph
and for the whole text?
“We
have all experienced days when
everything
2, What is the topic sentence for the
second
paragraph?
“Things can go wrong on a
big scale, as a number
of
people recently discovered in Parramatta,
a suburb of
Sydney.”
3, What is the
structure of the text?
“P1 first tells
us the topic –
‘we have
all
experienced days when everything goes wrong.’
Then the writer supposes a
day when things go wrong on
a small scale
–
at home;
P2
tells us a day when things go wrong on a big scale
–
on the road.
The two examples together prove the
topic sentence.
”
4, Why does the writer use the present
tenses in describing
the
first day, but the past tenses in describing the
second day?
“Because the first day is a
supposed case, while the
second day is a real case discovered by
a number of
people recently
in Parramatta,
a suburb of
Sydney.”
