外研2019版 必修1 U2课文全文 Exploring English
Unit 2 EXPLORING ENGLISHUnderstanding ideasNeither Pine nor Apple in PineappleH ave you ever asked yourself why people often have trouble learning English? I hadn’t, until one day my five-year-old son asked me whether there was ham in a hamburger. There isn’t. This made me realize that there’s no egg in eggplant either. Neither is there pine nor apple in Pineapple. This got me thinking how English can be a crazy language to learn.For example, in our free time we can sculpt a sculpture and paint a painting, but we take a photo. And when we are traveling we say that we are in the car or the taxi, but on the train or bus! While we’re doing all this traveling, we can get seasick at sea, a irsick in the air and carsick in a car, but we don’t get homesick when we get back home. And speaking of home, why aren’t homework and housework the same thing?I f “hard” is the opposite of “soft”, why are “hardly” and “softly” not an opposing pair? If harmless actions are the opposite of harmful actions, why are shameless and shameful behaviors the same?W hen we look out of the window and see rain or snow, we can say “it’s raining” or “it’s snowing”. But when we see sunshine, we can’t say “it’s sunshining”.E ven the smallest words can be confusing. When you see the capitalized “WHO” in a medical report, do you read it as the “who” in “Who’s that?” What about “IT” and “US”?You also have to wonder at the unique madness of a language in which a house can burn up as it burns down, in which you fill in a form by filling it out, and in which an alarm is only heard once it goes off!English was invented by people, not computers, and it reflects the creativity of the human race. That is why when the stars are out, they are visible, but when the lights are out, they are invisible. And that is why when I wind up my watch, it starts, but when I wind up this passage, it ends.Tips: Unfamiliar English expressionsEach year, many additions are made to English dictionaries. Recent additions include “selfie” (a photograph that you take of yourself, usually with a mobile phone) and “netizen”(a citizen who uses the Internet).Some messaging abbreviations have also been added, for example, BRB (be right back), COZ (because) and G2G (got to go).Some of the language used on the Internet is different to the language used in other forms of communication. It may be a quick and, to you, clear way to communicate, but before you use it, stop and think: who do you want to communicate with and why? Make sure thatany abbreviations and emojis you use are appropriate for the situation, and consider whether you readers will even know what you mean by BRB or COZ.Developing ideasLearning to learnOnline English-learning forums can be a very useful learning resource. Not only can you post specific questions, but you can also broaden your knowledge by reading posts from other English learners around the word.Misadventures in EnglishLast week, our forum asked if you had any funny or strange stories about using English. We didn’t expect to get so many posts! Here are some of our favourites, to remind us that some of the English we learn in the classroom is rather different from the English in the outside world!366325 commentssharefvouritesYancyPeople say that the British always play safe with what they eat. Not true! I went to a summer school in Manchester and my English teacher was called Maggie. One day, adifferent teacher took our class. He told us that Maggie couldn’t teach that day COZ she had a frog in her throat. Poor Maggie – but why did she try to eat such a big frog?135 commentsSophieWhen I first visited New York, I went to a downtown shopping centre to buy some winter boots. At the information desk at the entrance, I asked a lady where the shoe section was. She said that it was on the first floor. So I went up to the first floor, but couldn’t find any shoes. I decided to leave. When I was looking for the exit, I saw that shoes were actually sold downstairs on the ground floor, not the first floor. Why did she give me the wrong information? X-(128 commentsJulienI’ve got and English penfriend, who I finally got to meet in London this summer. He had told me that his grandfather was “really wicked”. But when I met his grandfather, I liked him a lot. I found it very odd. Why did my friend use a negative word about such a nice man?63 commentsZheng XuThe British must have really high standards. I was part of a student exchange programmebetween a university in England and my university in China. I spent days preparing and writing my first English paper. I knew I had done a good job and was looking forward to getting a positive comment. When I got the paper back, I found my teacher had written the comment “Not bad!” Not bad? But there weren’t any errors in my paper. :-(85 comments。

countries.Today,more people speak English as their first,second or a foreign language than ever before.At first the English spoken in England between about AD 450 and 1150 was very different from the English spoken today.It was based more on③German than the English we speak at present.Then gradually④between about AD 800 and 1150,English became less like German because those who ruled England spoke first Danish and later French.These new settlers enriched⑤the English language and especially⑥ its vocabulary⑦.So by the 1600s Shakespeare was able to make use of a wider vocabulary than ever before.In 1620 some British settlers moved to ter in the 18th century some British people were taken to Australia too.English began to be spoken in both countries.English now is also spoken as a foreign or second language in South Asia.For example,India has a very large number of fluent⑧ English speakers because Britain ruled India from 1765 to 1947.During that time English became the language for government and education.English is also spoken in Singapore and Malaysia and countries in Africa such as South Africa.Today the number of people learning English in China is increasing
