Text A

The Freshman Experience: College Is Not Summer Camp

Language and Cultural Points in the Text

Para. 1 The first week of college is summer camp. The second is back to reality.

The first week of college is like summer camp (which is usually full of excitement and fun), but in the second week, we have to go back to our real life at college.

I never imagined going from name games to essays in a blink.

I hadn?t thought I would change from playing games to studying hard so fast. Here name games simply mean playing instead of studying

Note: The Name Game (also known as the Adjective Game) starts with one person in the room picking a word that describes himself or herself as a person. The catch is that the word must start with the first letter of their first name.

imagine

to form a picture in your mind of what something might be e.g. She imagined singing her favorite song on a big stage.

她想象着自己在一个巨大的舞台上唱自己最喜欢的歌曲。 Close your eyes and imagine (that) you are in a forest. 闭上眼睛，想象自己在森林里。

blink

n. (usually singular) the act of shutting and opening your eyes very quickly e.g. He finished all his food in the blink of an eye. 一眨眼功夫他把食物全吃光了。

She does not comprehend the meaning of my blink. 她没有领会我眨眼的意思。

Para. 2 orientation

training or information that you are given before starting a new job, course, etc. e.g. This is orientation week for all the new students. 这是让全体新生熟悉情况的迎新周。 New employees receive three days’ orientation. 新雇员接受三天的入职培训。

……it never really felt like school until I walked into Geology on Tuesday morning.

It was not like school until I walked into the Geology class on Tuesday morning. Here “felt” is a link verb, different from when it is used in “feel like doing sth.”

imaginable

. used with superlatives, and with “all” and “every”, to emphasize that something is the best, worst, etc. that you can imagine, or includes every possible example

e.g. This is the only solution imaginable. 这是唯一可想得到的解决办法。

Posters were put up on every imaginable surface. 每一处能想到的空白都张贴着海报。

Para. 3 Buying textbooks before the class was its own problem It?s hard to get cheap second-hand textbooks for this course.

Note: College students in some countries have to buy textbooks, often second-handed ones, on their own. For many courses, there are simply no textbooks, but reference books, and students do not always have the option to purchase these items.

dirt cheap

(informal) extremely cheap, as cheap as dirt

e.g. The shop owner let us have the stuff dirt cheap. (used as adverb) 店主很便宜地卖给我们这些东西。

She bought the fashionable dress at a dirt-cheap price. (used as adjective) 这件时装她买得很便宜。

…but being in a room filled with strangers, most not na?ve first years like me, was quite frightening.

I felt frightened, because the classroom was full of students whom I did not know, and most of them were not silly freshmen like me. Here first years refer to first year students, or freshmen.

Note: In the western universities where the credit system (学分制) is in practice, it is not uncommon to find students of different majors or ages sitting in the same classroom for the course they choose.

Para. 4 catch up on

to find out about things that have happened e.g. Let me catch you up on all the gossip. 我跟你透露一点最近的闲话。

I’m afraid I can’t catch up on how things are in that region. 恐怕我无法跟进那一地区的情况。

Note: In informal conversations, “Let?s catch up.（改天见面聊一聊）” is a very

common and polite way of saying “Let?s get together and have a talk.”

gossip

informal talk or stories about other people?s private lives, that may be unkind or not true

e.g. Don’t believe all the gossip you hear. 别对那些道听途说都信以为真。

Mary’s in there having a gossip with Maggie. 玛丽在那里和玛吉闲聊。

Para. 5 confirm

v. to state or show that something is true or correct, especially by providing more evidence

e.g. Research has confirmed that the risk is higher for women. 研究证实这种风险对女性来讲要大一些。 Has everyone confirmed that they’re coming? 他们是不是每一个人都确定会来？

…that I will be piled down with reading and papers… that I will be loaded with piles of books and papers...

Para. 6 scare

v. to frighten somebody

e.g. The thunder scared the children. 雷声使孩子们感到害怕。

Some parents try to scare their children into behaving well. 有些父母试图用吓唬的法子使孩子守规矩。

drop by

to pay an informal visit to a person or a place

e.g. I’ve got to drop by the bank to get some money. 我得顺便到银行去取点钱。

Drop by whenever you are in the area. 如果你来这地方，请到我这里来坐坐。

Para. 7 overwhelm

v. to defeat somebody completely

e.g. The army was overwhelmed by the rebels. 军队被叛乱者击垮了。

He met with an accident that overwhelmed his career. 他遭到一次意外事故，那毁了他一生的事业。

Text B Surviving Your Freshman Year( Home-reading)

Part C Phonetics and Writing

Phonetics : Front Vowels

元音(vowel)是英语音素的一种，与辅音(consonant)相对。元音在发音过程中气流通过口腔而不受阻碍。元音分为单元音和双元音(front vowel)。单元音包括前元音、中元音和后元音；双元音包括合口双元音与集中双元音。前元音包括[i:]、[i]、[e]和[?] ，发音时舌的最高部位移向口腔前部并稍微拱起。

Writing:

1.Writing for General Purposes: General or Specific Word Writing Strategy

If you want to write well, one of the most important decisions you have to make is the choice of words. The following guidelines may be useful:

Use specific words instead of general ones.

Use idiomatic expressions and words in acceptable collocations. The term idiom sometimes refers to the normal word order or to the normal way of expressing an idea. For instance, in English people say “baby girl” instead of “girl baby” as in Chinese.

2.Writing for Specific Purposes: Notice

Notice

Please be informed that Dormitory Safety Training Session will be conducted from 2:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. this Friday afternoon in Conference Room 512. Monitors of all classes are required to come.

Handouts will be available after the session.

A common error is underestimating serving sizes…

Note: It is possible for young people to underestimate the serving

sizes because of their good appetite. But according to a New York Times article, “One Bowl=2 Servings. F.D.A. May Fix That.” by William Neuman

(http://www.nytimes.com/2010/02/06/business/06portion.html?_r =1), food producers would never like to scare off their consumers with the real calorie counts, so they often put smaller serving sizes on the food packages, which may contribute to the underestimating. junk food

food that is quick and easy to prepare and eat, but that is thought to be bad for your health when regularly eaten

Note: This is an informal term coined by Michael Jacobson, director of the Center for Science in the Public Interest, in 1972. Junk food includes foods such as soft drinks, hamburgers, hot dogs, ice cream, cake, French fries, chocolate and other confectionery, pizza, cookies, fried chicken, onion rings and donuts. alcoholic drinks

e.g. A year constitutes a cycle of the seasons. 一年由四季的周期循环组成。

A cycle of the sun takes a year. 太阳循环周期需要一年。

Note: vicious cycle/circle: one trouble leads to another that worsens the first, its antonym is virtuous cycle/circle. Para. 4 financial aid

money that is given or lent to students at a university or college who cannot pay the full cost of their education

e.g. They offer financial aid unconditionally.

他们无条件提供财务援助。

Financial aid is available to international students. 外国留学生可获得校方资助。 energy-dense foods

Writing for General Purposes:

Developing Paragraphs by Examples Writing Strategy

Examples are very effective means to explain things. Readers usually prefer writings with examples to those with only dry theories. A well-chosen example can make your writing vivid and persuasive. Here are some tips for choosing examples:

Choose relevant and persuasive examples.

The examples you choose should be closely related to and fully support your points as the example used in Text A to describe how sports can prevent Freshman 15. The personal experience of a sophomore who has successfully prevented Freshman 15 by joining the crew team can certainly convince readers to take part in college sports.

Choose typical examples.

Choose examples that are most likely to convince your readers. After reading what a junior said about joining athletic team to make friends, readers will have no doubt about playing sports in college.

Writing Strategy

We use comparison and contrast to set out the similarities and differences of two things as a basis for further discussion. When we compare one thing with another, we focus on the similarities between two items; when we contrast one thing with another, we show differences.

1. Writing for General Purposes: Developing Paragraphs by Classification Writing Strategy

Classification is a method of developing a paragraph by arranging people, objects, or ideas with shared characteristics into particular classes or groups. With this method, we create order out of confusion and provide a clear overview of the information we offer.

A classification paragraph usually contains a topic sentence to introduce the subject to be classified and supporting details to clarify the nature of the classification. The topic sentence for a classifying paragraph should indicate the criterion（标准） of classification and the number of smaller groups into which our topic group is broken. For example, “There are three basic types of materials in any good library.” This topic sentence contains the topic “any good library”, the criterion “basic types”, and the number “three”. The supporting items in a classifying paragraph are parallel（平行的）and are presented by listing. Therefore, we make a list of the items and discuss them one by one.
