II. Cultural information

Quote: Bertrand Russell: Young men who have reason to fear that they will be killed in battle may justifiably feel bitter in the thought that they have been cheated of the best things that life has to offer. But in an old man who has known human joys and sorrows, and has achieved whatever work it was in him to do, the fear of death is somewhat abject and ignoble. The best way to overcome it — so at least it seems to me — is to make your interests gradually wider and more impersonal.

Henry David Thoreau: The failures and reverses which await men — and one after another sadden the brow of youth — add a dignity to the prospect of human life, which no Arcadian success would do.

1. What are the people doing in the video?

Answers to the questions:

1. The mother and her three children were moving to a new place.

2. Simon felt excited about moving to a large house because he wanted to keep some bigger pets. But Jared was not happy about the moving. / He was angry about it.

3. Students are encouraged to answer this question freely.

Video Script: Mom: There it is. Pretty much … how I remember it! I was younger than you last time I was here, Simon. Mallory:Well … it’s … big. Simon:Yes! So I can get bigger pets here, right, Mom? Mom:Sure, get a cow! Get a whole flock! Simon:Herd. Mom:That, too. What do you think, Jared? ... Jared? ... OK, here we go! Simon: It’s OK, Mr. Tibbs. It’s OK. … Oh, it has that old people smell. … It’s just an observation, not a judgment. Mom: You’re angry about the move. I get that. Just what are you expecting your silent protest will get you? … At least acknowledge this isn’t the way to deal with your anger the way you said you were gonna do. Say yes with your head. Two blinks. …Nothing. [sigh] Mal, you and Simon take your stuff. Wait in the foyer while I go look for the main circuit breaker. Mallory: OK, Mom. … Get out of the car right now! Jared: You are not my mother, Mallory! Mallory:No, I’m worse. Because Mom doesn’t believe in hitting!

II. Grammar Exercises 1. Tenses

Use of simple past tense: 1) The simple past tense is used to talk about completed actions and habits in the past.

e.g. Shakespeare died in 1616. We used to walk a mile in the morning when we were in London.

2) Past tense of verbs such as want, wonder, hope is used for polite inquiries. e.g. I wondered how you liked the film. Use of past progressive:

1) The past progressive indicates a limited duration of time and is thus a convenient way to indicate that something took place (in the simple past) while something else was happening. e.g. Carlos lost his watch while he was running.

2) The past progressive can express incomplete action.

e.g. I was sleeping on the couch when Bertie smashed through the door.

※as opposed to the simple past, which suggests a completed action e.g. I slept on the couch last night.

3) The past progressive is also used to poke fun at or criticize an action that is sporadic but habitual in nature.

e.g. Tashonda was always handing in late papers.

4) We use the past progressive of verbs such as wonder to show politeness. e.g. I was wondering if you could give me a lift. ※This use is even more polite and tentative than the simple past.

Use of past perfect tense:

1) The past perfect tense expresses the idea that something occurred before another action in the past. It can also show that something happened before a specific time in the past. e.g. I had never seen such a beautiful beach before I went to Kauai.

2) If the past perfect tense is not referring to an action at a specific time, it is not optional. Compare the examples below. Here the past perfect tense is referring to a lack of experience rather than an action at a specific time. For this reason, the past perfect tense cannot be used.

e.g. She never saw a bear before she moved to Alaska. Not Correct

She had never seen a bear before she moved to Alaska. Correct

Practice: Complete the following sentences using the simple past, past progressive or past perfect tense.

1. He watched the children for a moment. Some of them _________(bathe) in the sea, others _________ (look) for shells, still others _________ (play) in the sand.

2. I thought my train _________ (leave) at 14:33, and _______ (be) very disappointed when I __________ (arrive) at 14:30 and _________ (learn) that it just _______ (leave). I ________ (find) later that I ________ (use) an out-of-date timetable.

5. I ___________ (try) to fill out the form, but I couldn't answer half of the questions.

5. tried, wanted, had had, ended

6. entered, didn't recognize, had lost, grown

2. Verbs of perception: Verbs of perception are a set of verbs denoting the use of one of the physical senses. Some verbs of perception see, look at, hear, listen, and feel, along with watch and sense can be used with objects followed by verbs in -ing form, -ed form and infinitive form.

e.g. We heard you leave. (Emphasis on our hearing.) We heard you leaving. (Emphasis on your leaving.)

3. Child as / though he is, he knows a lot.

4. Hard as / though he worked, he didn’t finish the work satisfactorily.

4. Present participle phrases used as adverbials: Present participle phrases can be used as adverbials to express reason, condition, time, result and attending circumstances.

e.g. Turning around, she saw an ambulance driving up. (time) Knowing English well, he can read Shakespeare. (reason) Working still harder, you will succeed. (condition) Their car was caught in a traffic jam, thus causing the delay. (result) He sat at the window eating. (attending circumstances)

2. Cloze

In England recently three foreign gentlemen went to a bus stop. They studied the information on the sign and decided which bus to take. About five minutes (1) later the bus they wanted came along. They prepared to get on. Suddenly there was a clamour behind them. People rushed on to the bus and tried to (2) push them out of the way. Someone shouted at the foreigners. The bus conductor came rushing down the stairs to see (3) what all the trouble was about. The three foreign gentlemen looked (4) puzzled and embarrassed. No one had told them about the British (5) custom of queuing for a bus (6) because the first person who arrived at the bus stop is the first person to get on the bus.

Learning the language of a country isn’t enough. If you want to ensure a pleasant visit, find out as much as possible about the manners and customs of your (7) hosts . You will probably be surprised just how different they can be from your own. A (8) visitor to India will do well to remember that people there consider it impolite to use the left hand for passing food at (9) table . The left hand is supposed to be used for washing yourself. In Europe it is quite usual to cross legs when sitting talking to someone, even at an important meeting. Doing this when meeting an important person in Thailand, (10) however , could cause offence. It is considered too informal an attitude for such an occasion.

Hints: 1) later: Here you can use a word meaning ―afterwards‖.

2) push: With their hands, what can people do to make foreigners out of their way?

3) what: A connective leading noun clause is needed here.

4) puzzled: They didn’t know what was happing. How did they feel?

5) custom: What is the word meaning habitual practice?

6）because: What is the relation between queuing and that the first person who arrived at the bus stop is the first person to get on the bus? 7) hosts: What do we call the people who receive you as guest?

8) visitor: What do we call the people who go to other places? 9) table: Where do you eat?

10) however: The same action is considered usual and offensive. What is the relationship?

V. Oral activities 1. Giving a talk

The text is the writer’s recall of the most important and unforgettable experiences that came about when he was between 10 and 12. As a child, he learned from his grandfather how one should come to terms with those sad moments which one would inevitably encounter in one’s life. Now imagine that you are the boy’s grandfather, and tell from your point of view what happened on the day when the family had to move from the old house.

You could probably begin your narration with ―The day finally came when the family had to move out of the old house. I found my little grandson Billy sitting alone in the back porch, crying bitterly. I understood how he was feeling. So I sat on the steps beside him and …‖

For your reference: You may want to describe your grandson’s feeling as follows:

upset, sad, bitter, lost, unhappy, sorrowful, misery, suffering

You may want to comfort your grandson by using the following words:

courage, grow-up, fresh start, change, adjust to, love, friendship, curiosity, beloved, hand in hand, unforgettable

You may express the following viewpoints to your grandson: — Everybody will encounter such sorrowful moments. — Your heart and your soul still belong to here. — New home means new friends and a fresh start.

2. Having a discussion:In modern society people have become more mobile and the pace of life has become more rapid. It is quite common nowadays for people to move from place to place. Parting from family and friends, and whatever is close and dear to you has become a common occurrence. Discuss with your fellow students whether “saying goodbye” still means as much as it is supposed to.

For your reference: 1. I think saying goodbye still means as much as it is supposed to be. Because it conveys the me ssage ―At this moment we may separate and we could not see each other for a while. However, we believe we still could meet each other at a specific time and we look forward to it.‖

2. I think saying goodbye does not mean as much as it is supposed to be. With the hi-technology, people can meet each other online, by using mobile phones. Meanwhile, thanks to the development of the transportation, people find it convenient and easy to visit each other just in a few hours, or even in a few minutes. So, ―goodbye‖ may be replaced by such expressions as ―see you‖, ―see you later‖ or ―I’ll come back soon‖.

VI. Writing Practice: Sentence Fragments

Some writers use fragments in their writing as a rhetorical device to achieve some specific effects. But for inexperienced writers like our students, the occurrence of fragments is most likely due to a weak sense of grammar or a confusion of ideas, or both. Generally speaking, sentence fragments that made by students can be divided into the following:

A. Missing-subjec t fragments A Missing-subject fragment has no subject. It comes about when a writer closes a sentence but then thinks of another detail to explain what he just said.

To improve such a fragment, attach it to the sentence before or after, or add the missing subject to the fragment to create a complete sentence.

Example: Fragment: He is an independent devil. Think for himself.

Revised: a. He is an independent devil and thinks for himself.（Attach the loose verb think to the original sentence.）b. He is an independent devil. He thinks for himself.（Add the subject He to the fragment.）

B. Dependent-word fragments A dependent-word fragment is a dependent clause or a subordinate clause. It is patterned like a sentence, with both a subject and a verb in it, but begins with a word that marks it as subordinate.

To eliminate a fragment of this kind, attach it to an adjoining sentence or delete the dependent word.

Example: Fragment: The decision seems fair. Because it considers all parties.

Revised: a. The decision seems fair because it considers all parties.（Attach the fragment to the main clause.）

b. The decision seems fair. It considers all parties.

（Delete the dependent word because, and change the subordinate clause to be a complete sentence.）

C. -ing fragments An -ing fragment begins with a present participle or a gerund, but has no subject or verb.

To correct such a fragment, attach it to the sentence before or after, or change the –ing verb to other word.

Example:

Fragment: Seattle is a wonderful place to live. Having mountains, ocean, and forests all within easy driving distance. Revised: a. Having mountains, ocean, and forests all within easy driving distance, Seattle is a wonderful place to live. （Attach the -ing fragment to the sentence before.）

b. Seattle is a wonderful place to live, with mountains, ocean, and forests all within easy driving distance.

(Change the–ing verb to with so as to make the fragment to be a part of the sentence before.)

D. To fragments A to fragment begins with a to-infinitive but has no subject or verb.

To correct such a fragment, attach it to the sentence before or after, or add a subject and change the to-infinitive into its correct form.

Example: Fragment: He has one purpose in life. To enable his mother to lead a letter life.

Revised: a. He has only one purpose in life. He wants to enable his mother to lead a better life.

(Add the subject He and verb want to the to fragment to make it a complete sentence.)

b. He has one purpose in life: to enable his mother to lead a better life.

(Change the to fragment to be a part of the sentence before.)

E. Added-detail fragments

Added-detail fragments are just phrases standing alone. Writers want to add something that is separate from the previous part. Here is list of words to watch out for: especially, including, except, not even, particularly, such as,in addition, for example and other adverbial or prepositional phrases.

Example: Fragment: The South has produced some of our greatest twentieth century writers. Such as William Faulkner, Alice Walker, and Thomas Wolfe.

Revised: The South has produced some of our greatest twentieth century writers, such as William Faulkner, Alice Walker, and Thomas Wolfe. (Change the Added-detail fragment to be a part of the sentence before.)

2. Practice: Rewrite the following sentence fragments to make complete sentence.

1. Because we want to do something perfectly. (A dependent-word fragment)

Revised: a. We want to do something perfectly.

b. Sometimes we tend to put off what we can do today till tomorrow simply because we want to do something perfectly.

2. Being born and bred in a city. ( An -ing fragment) Revised: a. I was born and bred in a city.

b. Being born and bred in a city, I am interested in everything in the countryside.

The dog ran around the yard. To find the ball. (A to fragment)

Revised: The dog ran around the yard to find the ball.

Many unique animals live in Australia. Such as the kangaroo and the koala. (An added-detail fragment)

Revised: Many unique animals live in Australia, such as the kangaroo and the koala.

You feel rewarded for your hard work. And get spiritual or sometimes material satisfaction. (A missing-subject fragment) Revised: You feel rewarded for your hard work and get spiritual or sometimes material satisfaction.

Guidance: Family is where our roots take hold and where we grow. A close family bond is like a safe harbor where we find refuge.

These rituals and traditions, not only create memories, but create our first path in life — one that is positive.

Paraphrase: When I look at my life, those happiest moments are spent at home with my family who love me and make me feel safe.

in the bosom of sth.: in a situation in which you are with people who love and protect you

e.g. He spent the weekend in the bosom of his family.

2. Where we love is home,

Home that our feet may leave, but not our hearts. —Oliver Wendell Holmes

Paraphrase: We love our home —the place our bodies may leave, but we are emotionally attached to it forever.
