14、r.An example: a grammar lesson with my son2. Structure of the textIntroductionIn his sons eyes, the father is one who he has to obey and an oddity absorbed in grammar. (Para.1) He was shocked by his students inability todescribe properly her excursion to Europe. (Paras. 2-4) Thesis of the narration:

28、的”。例如： His grandfather had been a distinguished university professor. 他的祖父曾是一位杰出的大学教授。 2) distinctive指“（特征、性格或外表）独特的，有明显不同的”。强调“表示差别的”、“有特色的”、“特殊的”。例如： Irene had a very distinctive voice. 艾琳有一个非常独特的声音。 Can you find the distinctive watermarks of this stamp? 你能看到这枚邮票上明显的水印吗？ Pupils in Hong Kong usuall

36、rd to adapt to the new school. 这些孩子们发现很难适应这所新学校。 The body adjusts itself to changes of temperature. 身体会自行适应温度的变化。 Intelligence seeks to grasp, manipulate, re-order, and adjust, while intellect examines, ponders, wonders, theorizes, criticizes and imagines. 智力寻求的是理解、运用、整合和调节，而才学是审视、思考、探究、形成理论、批判和想象。

40、ll corrects his childs 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 corre

41、cts his childs 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 doesnt seem to like. 2 I think I got serious about this only recently when I ran into one of my former students, fresh fro

42、m an excursion to Europe. How was it? I asked, full of earnest anticipation. 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

43、 rather than a complete statement because of her inability to choose appropriate words to express herself. 3. My students “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,

45、, “My son, how is the bird flying?” “Whats wrong? Did I say anything incorrectly?” He got lost. “Great! You said incorrectly instead of incorrect. We use adverbs to describe verbs. Therefore, its flying so unsteadily but not so unsteady.” (Para. 8) Meaning: On hearing what he said, I asked him cauti

46、ously how the bird was flying. My son didnt have any idea about what was wrong, so he asked if he said anything incorrectly. By praising his correct use of incorrectly, I explained that unsteady is improperly used because an adverb is needed to describe a verb. Meaning beyond words: From “I carefull

47、y asked” and “Great” we can see the way the father used to correct his sons grammatical mistake is very encouraging. 5.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 gr

48、ammar 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 (imp

49、rove 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. 6.While the road map guides your journey to your destination, an excellent vehicle helps you

50、 to fully enjoy all of the sights, sounds and experiences along the way. (Para. 12) Meaning: Though the road map leads you to the place where you want to go, the well-conditioned/well-tuned car (vocabulary) enables you to completely enjoy your trip along the road. Sentence structure note: while Whil

51、e can be used in a clause to introduce information which contrasts with information in the main clause.

52、mize students learning, a committed student can always enjoy learning. 虽然一个有效的语言老师能让学生最大限度地学到东西, 但是一个孜孜不倦的学生总是能对学习乐此不彼。 The south of the country grows richer and richer, while the north grows poorer and poorer. 这个国家的南方越来越富，但是北方却越来越穷。 7.I was, like, whoa! (Para. 17) Meaning: I was really surprised an

53、d impressed by my sons grammar knowledge. Meaning beyond words: The father was very proud of his son. The expression used here is to contrast with the one said at the beginning of the text when the author describes the incapability of the students language. Though both are in a surprised tone, the p

54、urposes are apparently different. By returning to the phrase from the beginning of the text: “, like, whoa!”, the father is playing ball with this “condensed non-statement”. Using this word at the end of the text, therefore, reflects the authors skillfully expressed humor. Step Three Language applic
