Unit1
I, for one, am far from ready to use online courses for my learning. Don’t get me wrong I am very happy about all the communication and learning opportunities the courses have give us. But for me those opportunities should not be used to replace classroom activities. In other words, they are only tools to help me learn what has already been offered in the classroom.
I love the classroom. I love having classmates. There are forty students in my class right now, and I think it’s great. I even love having classmates who are better than me. And, Let’s not forget the smell of ink on paper, the sound of chalk on a blackboard, the hardness of a wooden bench or heat inside the classroom in early September. I love it all. But most of all, I love having a teacher—a ―real live‖ teacher. I get excited when I am in the classroom with a good teacher. I learn in a way that has been proven to work. I am given insight not only into a certain subject, but also into the world. What makes having a classroom teacher so special? A good teacher pushes me to succeed. A good teacher rewards me with praise when I have done well and stays positive and gives me hope when I am down . I don’t believe that a teacher using a virtual classroom can reach out to in the same way. A teacher communicating through the Internet cannot share the same type of relationship a classroom teacher and student share.
I guess that I am lucky to have had situation to so many excellent classroom teachers.
I will never forget the kindness and commitment that those teachers have shown me Their examples make it hard for me to accept a way of learning that does not include them . You can me ―old-fashioned‖, but as long as there is a classroom, that’s where I will be learning.
Unit 2
I’m not sure whether a ―generation gap‖ exists, but if it does, I hope I’m still standing on the youth’s side of the gap. I may be 50 and then some, but I still like to rock. When I was younger, I listened to all of the new rock and roll music , and I really got into it . But, listening to as well as rocking to new and unique music. I have to admin
that rock and roll has changed since I was a teenager, but it is still about using rhythm to express feeling.
Some of the changes have been very positive . Advances in technology made personal recording simple and given us access to music on the Internet Nowadays you can’t throw a stone without hitting someone that has made their own CD. You don’t have to just listen to music made and sold by big record companies . Many groups send their music straight to community radio stations This allows for truly new music to be heard that record companies have never even touched I play drums for one such group myself.
My daughter is an actual teenager and she is thoroughly disgusted by my listening to and playing , as she puts it, ‖those awful tunes . ‖ Classical music and playing the piano appeal to her. She pretends to show concern by making c omments like ,‖You should turn that stuff down or you will hurt your ears, ‖but I know what she is really trying to say is upset ,though. And I don’t worry about my music having a(n) negative influence on her In any case ,she is probably right about my ears; I likely have lost some hearing from going to too many loud concert as I have . I can’t stay that it wasn’t worth it, though . If I had to it all over again I would do it all the same except I would protect my ears better
Unit 3
Do not put off until tomorrow the good you can do today. There are so many possibilities that can get in the way of a good or great deed Examples of people who missed out on good opportunities are everywhere , and when it is too late, they regret missing the chance to have been of service. Saying ―tomorrow‖ just once instead of doing some good may lead to a habit of saying ―tomorrow‖ . and tomorrow may never come . One delay is followed by another , and matters get out of hand quickly ,even when attempts are made to correct them .
Therefore , we must take things on as soon as we see them . This is the secret to progress and success One good deed can awaken us to new and greater opportunities to help those around us ,and thus, make our life richer. One good turn leads to another , and thus, the good is made larger . Once something great has been achieved,we are free to set our sights on the next opportunity to help that arise Each new opportunity may be bigger and better than the last And so ,I urge you to use all your efforts to do what good you can today instead of tomorrow .
Do not spend your time with thing that are neither good nor valuable. This will save you from mistake . If you are given a task that you do not believe is helpful ,delay it. Time will wash it away for you . At the same time, the beginnings of something positive will have built up . Do it at once ! A kind word ,or a(n) service to others is never a waste of your time ,and you will reap the benefits of doing good and enjoy peace of mind.
Unit 4
Standing in th e door of Mr Murphy’s office ,I could see he was learned on something he was reading. He had both elbow on his desk, his head was resting on one hand and his other hand was cupped about his mouth. I knew that he was keeping his office hours and that student participation was encouraged ,but all the same , I was afraid to
approach . Then ,as I turned to leave , my foot banged against the bottom of the door ,startling me and causing the professor to look up. His eyes had simply moved from the desk to me, but the rest of his physical body remained the same . He invited me in without gesture, just a ―Come in. What is it that you need? ‖ There was little if any warmth or tone in his voice; it wasn’t exactly encouragement Despite being intimidated, I made a conscious effort to relax and persuaded myself to smile and enter the room. ―Mr. Murphy ,‖ the pitch of my voice rose as I begin my introduction I am sorry to interrupt . my name is Peter . I am in your second-period English class. “Peter did you say it was? ‖he replied. His reaction disappointed me. It was apparent that I had not made much of an impression with the presentation I made in class last week. he said my name as if he would not have remembered it without my having stated it for him first –as though he were no more impressed than if he had encountered a beggar on the street He continued ,‖Do you have something you want to discuss with me , or do you just stop by to visit ?
In fact, I had stopped by to visit,but I was no longer feeling up to it and was looking for a fast exit . It seemed that the invitation he had extend in class ,‖ Drop by my office for a visit anytime . My door is always open . ‖ was just a(n) empty gesture probably required by the school. I reach inside my bag and pulled out my English language textbook. I figured I can ask him a quick question rather than try to have a meaningful conversation.
