Section II Read and Explore of Passage A (4 periods)

Passage A Tongue-tied

Step 1 Pre-reading Tasks (15 mins)

1. In what way do you usually learn English words? Do you often ask the native speakers to explain English words for you?

2. How do you understand the German proverb ―Whoever cares to learn will always find a teacher‖?

3. Do you think teaching is also learning? Why? Culture notes:

1. The Concepts of Lifelong Education

The desire for knowledge is never-ending. Learning is a lifelong quest. It’s never too late and you’re never too old to learn.

University study isn’t just for school-leavers. The university culture is changing, with more and more people studying later in life.

And it’s a great way to get to know new people. The story of your education is to be continued.

Education is a powerful tool — a tool you can use to shape your life and the world in which you live.

By making university study more accessible and achievable, continuing education programs place the tools of knowledge and learning within reach.

So, the story of your education doesn’t stop here. It’s only just beginning. 2. The Open University (UK)

The Open University calls it ―OU supported open learning‖. It’s a method of distance learning that’s accessible to everybody living in the European Union. There are also a number of courses which can be followed online by those outside these countries.

Step 2 While-reading Tasks (75 mins)

1) Read the title and guess what type of writing this passage may be. (Narrative writing)

2) Read the passage for the first time and answer:

What was the author’s immediate response when the driver passed her a slip of paper?

What did the author mean by saying “clever is not clever if it doesn't communicate”?

Why did the author hope that the driver owned a dictionary? 2. Skim the passage and try to find the main idea:

Main idea: This is an amusing short story that illustrates how little people sometimes know about their mother tongue. The narrator is a woman, the passenger in a taxi whose driver is a Pakistani man eager to learn English by asking his passengers about new words. Struggling to explain the meanings of a proverb and an idiom, she realizes how little she really knows about the vocabulary of her native language and also wonders what kind of answers other, probably equally ignorant, native passengers might give.

Summary: In this passage, the writer, a newspaper columnist and TV commentator, praises the idea of education for education’s sake and regrets the fact that most college students, motivated only by the idea of future professional success, do not realize what a wonderful opportunity they are missing. While at college and not burdened by the responsibilities that will come later in life, they focus their attention only on those courses that they think will help make them rich. The author himself would like to go right back to being a freshman and study philosophy, calculus, literature, history and grammar. He does recognize that if he were studying for the knowledge and not for earning grades, education would probably become less stressful and more fun.

Teacher: Paragraph development by example is one of the most common and most

useful means for expanding the topic sentence into a more convincing discourse. How to develop a paragraph by example? Would you please explain with an example?

Standby examples:

Life in the 21st century demands preparation. Therefore, young people today must prepare themselves through adequate schooling for their career as well as for their responsibilities as citizens.

For another instance, one’s interests might take him into serious study of business in order to be qualified for such work as accounting, international business management or public relations. Still, there are many other instances of preparation for persons with talent and ambition to find their place in government service, medicine, law, and many other fields that offer fascinating careers.
