Task 2 Text study
Language focus
活动
：
Reading
comprehension and discuss these questions in
groups
1) What does the son think of
the father? (Para. 1)
A
tedious oddity:
a father he is obliged
to listen to and a man absorbed in the rules of
grammar.
2) Why
was the writer shocked by his student’s answer?
(Paras. 2
-4)
She is unable to describe her excursion
to Europe with the right words.
3) Why should students not be blamed
for their language deficiency?
(Paras.
6-7)
The
learning environment is misleading.
4) How should grammar be
taught as far as the writer is concerned?
(Paras.8-10)
Grammar must be handled delicately,
step by step. An
effective way of
teaching could arouse children’s interest in
learning
English grammar. An example: a
grammar lesson with my son
Difficult
sentences
1.
If
I
am
the
only
parent
who
still
corrects
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
mistakes
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.
The civilization of Greece and the
glory of Roman architecture were
captured in a 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.
3.
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).
