ⅩⅣ. The main idea is developed by the method of classification. The writer uses a series of paragraphs to develop the classification adequately and completely. To write an effective paragraph of classification, the writer can use the following procedure : 1. Clearly, and as precisely as necessary, identify the term being classified. When necessary, define it in words the reader can understand.

2. State or imply clearly the standards on which the classification is to be made. Sometimes the name of the class or classes in which the item is placed suggests the basis or standard for the classification. Classifying birds as game birds clearly specifies them as among those which can be hunted and eaten by humans. 3. Identify the names of the classes into which the items being classified belong. 4. Finally, discuss each of the classes, limiting the discussion to the standards on which the classification is based.

XV. 1. The writer is satirizing a self-conceited freshman in a law school. The freshman is made the narrator of the story, who goes on smugly boasting and singing praises of himself at every conceivable opportunity. From the very beginning, in paragraph 4, he begins to heap on himself all the beautiful words of praise he can think of cool, logical, keen, calculating, perspicacious, acute, astute, pow- erful, precise and penetrating. This exaggerated self praise and the profuse use of similes and metaphors help to make the satire humorous. At the same time the narrator takes every opportunity to downgrade Percy Butch. For example, he calls him: dumb, nothing upstairs, unstable, impressionable and a faddist. And as for Polly Espy, she is “a beautiful dumb girl”, who would smarten up under his guidance. In order to smarten her up, the narrator decides to give her a course in logic. He teaches her how to recognize the common fallacies of logic. He succeeds too well because the whole thing backfires on him when Polly refutes all his arguments as logical fallacies before finally rejecting him. In desperation the narrator argues that “the things you learn in school don’t have anything to do in life”. The appeal does not move Polly because she does not reject him on logical grounds. She rejects him because he does not own a raccoon coat as Petey Burch does. At the end of the story, the reader feels the narrator has got what he deserved. He has been too clever for his own good. The title of the story is humorous and well chosen. It has two meanings, When “fallacy” is taken in its ordinary sense. the title means: “There is a deceptive or delusive quality about love ⅩⅥ. Learning

A proverb goes, “Learning is the eye of mind”. With the “eye”, not only can we

develop a better understanding of ourselves but we can see a prosperous future of our nation. Then, how to make the eye sharper? Though it varies accordingly, several principles exist here.

First, distint targets should be set for learning. It includes the targets of both long term and short term. Only with these, can we know how to study efficiently. Second, we should try to form a good habit of learning. We should have in mind the idea of doing one thing at a time, i.e. learn while learning, and play while playing. The last and most crucial principle is involving ourselves in our study. Learning is not only an acceptance, but a digestion and absorption. We can’t improve ourselves without serious attitude.
