Step 5: While-reading ActivitiesLanguage Points:1. There are numerous and reliable ways by which one can measure the impact of employment on student achievement, and we used several in our research (Para. 1)Meaning: There are many reliable methods to study how work affects students’ school performance, and we used a few of the methods in our research.2. We have simplified and classified the data and the results are clear: The stakes are high. (Para. 2)Meaning: We have processed the data by making them simpler and grouping them into different categories. The research results are clear: The risks for working students are high.3. On the other hand, we also detected a different pattern. Working for approximately 10 hours per week or less seemingly does not take a consistent toll on school performance. (Para. 3) Meaning: However, we also found out a different pattern, that is, when students work for about 10 hours or less every week, it does not seem to have a continuous bad effect on students’ school performance.4. In other words, over time, the more students work, the less committed to school they become. (Para. 4)Meaning: That is to say, as students work longer hours, they gradually become less devoted to study.5. Over time, as these become established practices, students’ commitment to school is eroded bit by bit. (Para. 5)Meaning: Gradually, as these practices of cutting corners have been in use for a long time, students become less and less committed to school.Step 6: Typical patterns:Purpose:Further understand the text （Train further reading ability）to find out some difficult sentences and details of the text.Method:Read the text together; Use task-based language teaching method, reading approach, communicative approach, grammar-translation approach and total physical response method.Typical patterns：1. Nevertheless, given that half of all employed seniors, about one-third of all juniors, and about one-fifth of all second-year students work above the 20-hour limit, indications are that a large number of students are at risk of compromising their school careers with their part-time jobs. (Para.3, L3)不过，鉴于一半的大四打工学生、约三分之一的大三打工学生、以及五分之一的大二打工学生的打工时间都超过20小时的上限，因此种种迹象表明，有众多学生面临因打零工而危及学业的风险。
