Unit 1 Language in mission
Text A An impressive English lesson
Ex.1 Understanding the text
1
銆?/p>
Because he is tired of listening to his father and he is not
interested in grammar rules.
2
銆?/p>
The
civilization
of
Greece
and
the
glory
of
Roman
architecture
are
so marvelous and remarkable that they should be described at least in a
brief account; however, what the student could do was only one single
utterance :
鈥?/p>
whoa!
鈥?/p>
without any any specific comment.
3
銆?/p>
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.
4
銆?/p>
Because
teaching
grammar
is
not
an
easy
job
and
most
of
the
students
will easily get bored if it
鈥?/p>
s not properly dealt with.

銆?/p>
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.
6
銆?/p>
Because
the
son
had
never
heard
about
the
various
names
and
functions
of words in an English sentence before.

銆?/p>
The author uses
鈥?/p>
road map
鈥?/p>
and
鈥?/p>
car
鈥?/p>
to describe grammar and
vocabulary. Here,
鈥?/p>
road map
鈥?/p>
is considered as grammar and
鈥?/p>
car
鈥?/p>
as
vocabulary.
8
銆?/p>
Since
the
subjunctive
mood
his
son
used
is
a
fairly
advanced
grammar
structure, the interjection
鈥?/p>
whoa!
鈥?/p>
reflects the tremendous pride the
father had toward his
son; it also
reflects the author
鈥?/p>
s humor in
using
the
word
because
it
was
once
used
by
his
student,
though
in
two
different
situations and with two different feelings.
