二、文本学习

1. Global understanding of the text

1）Scan the text in three minutes and fill in the blanks.

After I read the passage, I know the text talking about how _________ and __________ can be taught efficiently. The writer might be a ________ and a ________________ as well.

2）What is the writing style of the text? Why?

The writing style of the text is relaxed, which is proved by a lot of short sentences and paragraphs, casual verbs, daily talks and simple modifiers.

3）Map the text structure and fill in the blanks.

2. Detailed understanding of the text

Read the text again and answer the following questions.

1) Why does the son think that his father is a tedious oddity?

Because he is tired of listening to his father and he is not interested in grammar rules.

2) Why does the author think that students’ language deficits should be blamed on schools?

Because the schools fail to set high standards of language proficiency. They only teach a little grammar and less advanced vocabulary. And the younger teachers themselves have little knowledge of the vital structures of language.

3) What does the father teach the son while giving him a grammar lesson?

He familiarized his son with different parts of speech in a sentence and discussed their specific grammatical functions including how to use adverbs to describe verbs.

4) What are the two things that the author uses to describe grammar and vocabulary?

The author uses “road map” and “car” to describe grammar and vocabulary. Here, “road map” is considered as grammar and “car” as vocabulary.

5) How do you understand the interjection “whoa!” said by the father toward the end of the text?

Since the subjunctive mood his son used is a fairly advanced grammar structure, the in terjection “whoa!” reflects the tremendous pride the father had toward his son; it also reflects the author’s humor in using the word because it was once used by his student, though in two different situations and with two different feelings.

An Impressive English Lesson

However, it doesn’t ________________ to criticize our students. They unfairly bear the bulk of the criticism for these __________________ because there is a sense that they _________________. On one hand, they are misled by the____________. On the other hand, school fails to _________________ the essential framework of language, accurate grammar and proper vocabulary. Perhaps, language should be looked upon as a _________ and a ___________________: often study the road map (check grammar) and ________ the car engine (adjust vocabulary). Learning grammar and a good vocabulary is just like driving with a road map in a ________________ car. __________, _________, and __________ communication depends upon grammar and a good vocabulary, the two __________ assets for students, but they are ________________ in schools.
