Believe it or not, this oldest form of expressing love still works the best in the modern world. Suppose you are going to write a love note. What would you want to say to your lover? Discuss this with your classmates.After the discussion, Teacher asks several students to present their love notes to the class and read the two well-known love notes as follows:When You Are OldBY WILLIAM BUTLER YEATSWhen you are old and grey and full of sleep,And nodding by the fire, take down this book,And slowly read, and dream of the soft lookYour eyes had once, and of their shadows deep;How many loved your moments of glad grace,And loved your beauty with love false or true,But one man loved the pilgrim soul in you,And loved the sorrows of your changing face;And bending down beside the glowing bars,Murmur, a little sadly, how Love fledAnd paced upon the mountains overheadAnd hid his face amid a crowd of stars.朱生豪给妻子宋清如的情书中写道：醒来觉得甚是爱你.这两天活得很快活,而且骄傲.你这人,有点太不可怕,尤其是,一点也不莫名其妙.不要愁老之将至,你老了一定很可爱.而且,假如你老了十岁,我当然也同样老了十岁,世界也老了十岁,上帝也老了十岁,一切都是一样.II.Listen to the Text.Listen to Text A and find out what the precious legacy was and why they were so precious.Part 2 Text A I.Language Points1.legacyExamples:a) My grandmother died and left me a small legacy. b) The war left an enduring legacy of bitterness and suspicion. c) Perhaps her most important legacy was her programme of educational reform.2.proceeds 收益, policy 保险单, deed 契约当这些词作为商务专业词汇business terms时,与其作为普通词汇时3 / 8的含义有别.3.bracelet 手镯Relevant Words: pearl, jewelry, necklace, earring, ring4.cf. electric, electrical, electronicThese three words share much mon ground, and they are interchangeable in many uses, but its possible to sketch rough differences between them.i)Electrical means of or relating to electricity, and its used for things that generate or process electricityfor example, electrical generators and electrical outlets. Its also simply a broad term for anything that uses electricity.ii)Devices that run on electricity are electricfor example, electric lights, electric heaters, electric cars.iii) Electronic describes devices that manipulate electrical current internally through switches. Its also used for virtual forms of things that were traditionally in the physical world, such as electronic stores and electronic books.If these distinctions are accurate, then all electric and electronic devices are electrical, and all electronic devices are electric, but not all electric devices are electronic. In any case, these distinctions are not always borne out in real-world usage. In particular,electricis often used where we might expect to seeelectrical. 5.funeralRead the poem quoted in the classic film Four Weddings and One FuneralFuneral BluesBY W. H.

The line illustrates three different senses of the word, which can mean moral strength or reputation , a person in a work of fiction , or, by extension, a colorful personality . A fourth usage is the distinctive nature of a person or thing, a meaning reflected in the words origins. In Greek, a kharaktr was a stamping tool, used to give something a distinctive mark.10. enrichen- word family: encourage, endanger, enforce, enlist, enlarge, ennoble, ensure II.Difficult Sentences1.Until the lawyer read her will, I never fully appreciated the depth of the old ladys love.直到律师宣读她的遗嘱的那一刻,我才充分感受到这位老妇人深深的爱.本句将从句置于主句之前,强调了时间概念.可以让学生用neveruntil直到才造句.2.It was a moment I will never forgeta day that made me the richest kid in town.这是我永生难忘的时刻这一天,我成了镇上最富有的孩子.I will never forget 作 a moment 的定语从句,省略了关系代词 that 或 which.破折号后面的成分作 a moment 的同位语,起解释说明的作用.本文有好几处破折号后跟同位语的现象,见 2,3,5 段.3.a guide book that will teach you how to love a woman, how to understand people, and how to respect and maintain your integrity. 指导你如何去爱一个女人,如何理解别人, 如何重视并保持正直品格的指南.在修饰 a guidebook 的定语从句中,动词 teach 的直接宾语是三个并列的不定式短语.并列结构一般从短到长排列,起强调作用, 增强句子的韵律和感染力.4.While his love is now a memory, it is also a real dream that never ends. 尽管他的爱现在已经成了回忆,但它也是一个永远不会结束的真实的梦.本句中,连词 while 表示虽然,尽管,详单于 though 或 although,引导让步状语从句.Do Exercise 75.As for being valuable, save the envelopes. 说到这些信的价值,请把信封收藏好.As for is used for introducing a subject that is related to what you have just been talking about, e.g. As for the children, they were happy enough to spend all day on the beach. 6.The personal handwritten note from General Pershing is even more valuable than the stamps. 潘兴将军的亲笔信比邮票更加值钱.Even 表示比更,与形容词或副词的比较急连用,加强语气.Do Exercise 8III. plete Exercises 4 to 9 on pages 164 to 167.Part 3 Grammar Review5 / 8I.Its important to distinguish between countable and uncountable nouns in English because their usage is different in regards to both determiners and verbs.Countable nouns are for things we can count using numbers. They have a singular and a plural form. The singular form can use the determiner a or an. If you want to ask about the quantity of a countable noun, you ask How many? bined with the plural countable noun.Uncountable nouns are for the things that we cannot count with numbers. They may be the names for abstract ideas or qualities or for physical objects that are too small or too amorphous to be counted . Uncountable nouns are used with a singular verb. They usually do not have a plural form. We cannot use a/an with these nouns. To express a quantity of an uncountable noun, use a word or expression like some, a lot of, much, a bit of, a great deal of, or else use an exact measurement like a cup of, a bag of, 1kg of, 1L of, a handful of, a pinch of, an hour of, a day of. If you want to ask about the quantity of an uncountable noun, you ask How much?Tricky Spots Be careful with the conversions between countable and uncountable nouns. Some uncountable nouns can be converted to countable nouns when i referring to individual stuff, ii having specific modifiers, iii with meaning changed. Some nouns are countable in other languages but uncountable in English. They must follow the rules for uncountable nouns. The most mon ones are:acmodation, advice, baggage, behavior, bread, furniture, information, luggage, news, progress, traffic, travel, trouble, weather, work.

The first thing a recipient sees is the envelope. It is essential that it should be of suitable quality with the name and address spelt correctly.The name and address of the recipient should be centered on the envelope or in the lower right part of the front. Make sure the address begins far enough down on the face of the envelope so that it will not be covered by the postmark.Things to include in a mailing address:Line 1: the receivers name, followed by the courtesy title, job title or rank.Line 2: the name of the pany, college, institution or the building.Line 3: the street, with the house number before it.Line 4: the city and state , followed by the zip code.Line 5: the country itself.e.g. Miss Abigail BeecherDepartment of History Klondike munity College14 Banks St.Yellowknife, NT X1A 2N36 / 8CanadaWhen using an envelope with a printed return address, you must type or write the name of the writer of the letter immediately above the printed information. Align the writers name on the left with this information. If desired, the writers job title may be included after his or her name. if you are using a plain envelope, you must add the return address in the upper left corner.

Part 6 Improve Your Reading SkillsParagraph Development in Time Order I.DefinitionIn position and speech, time orderis a method of organizationin which actions or events are presented as they occur in time. Also called chronological andlinear order.Narrativesand process analysis essays monly rely on chronological order. Morton Miller points out that the natural order of eventsbeginning, middle, and endis narrations simplest and most-used arrangement .Time order, sometimes called sequential order or chronological order, is a frequently used pattern in informative speeches. When you use time order, you organize your main points in a chronological sequence or by steps in a process. Thus, time order is appropriate when you are explaining how to do something, how to make something, how something works, or how something happened.II.Examples1.Chronological Order in a NarrativeEarly next morning I was lying in bed, when an old gentleman riding a bay horse arrived at the river. He was dressed in a faded chocolate gown flecked with roses and the end of his turban was wrapped round his face over an iron-grey beard. Across the saddle he carried a brown lamb. Behind him, on foot, came his son aged twelve, flapping along in a gown of geranium red and a white turban as big 7 / 8as himself, and holding a stick with which he directed the progress of a black ewe and her black lamb.When the party had assembled at the ford, the process of crossing began. First the old man rode into the stream, with difficulty kept his horses head against it, and deposited the brown lamb on the other side. While he was returning, the child caught the black lamb. This he gave to his father, who then reentered the water dangling it by one leg so that it screamed. Bleating in sympathy, the ewe followed. But the current swept her away and landed her on the bank she had started from. Meanwhile her offspring, now safe on the further bank with the brown lamb, kept on crying. Again the old man returned, and helped his son drive the wet and shivering ewe a hundred yards up the bank above the ford. There the current caught her once more, and landed her neatly at the ford itself, this time on the further side, where she was warmly greeted by both lambs. Putting his foot on his fathers boot, the little boy hopped up behind him and probed the stream with his pole as they crossed, to see if the bottom was firm. On the other bank he dismounted, restored the brown lamb to his fathers saddle, set the ewe and the black lamb in motion, and launched into a swinging trot, with his geranium gown flying out behind him. The bay horse followed, and the process was lost on the horizon.ObservationsIn any kind of narration, the simplest approach is to set down events in chronological order, the way they happened. To do so is to have your story already organized for you. A chronological order is therefore an excellent sequence to follow unless you can see some special advantage in violating it. 2.Chronological Order in a Process AnalysisHow to Boil an Egg Like a ProPut your eggs in a saucepan and cover them with about one-half inch cold water. Heat the pan until the water is simmering and cook like this for seven minutes, using a timer. As soon as the timer dings put the saucepan into the sink and turn on the cold tap, allowing the water to overspill. It doesnt need to be galloping; a steady but vigorous flow will do. After a minute turn off the tap and leave the eggs in the cold water for another couple of minutes, or until they are cold enough to hold fortably.When times up your eggs will be cooked, and with no soft center remaining.ObservationsWhen the steps in the process must be performed in a particular order, details are arranged in a chronological order. To help your reader follow the chronological order, transitions like these can help:First, you must . . .Next, be careful to . . .Now, you can . . .After that , try . . .Finally, you should . . . 8 / 83.plete Exercise 17 on page 183.4.Remended Reading ListExamples of Chronologically Organized Essaysi)Camping Out by Ernest Hemingwayii)Christmas Afternoon by Robert Benchleyiii) posing My First College Essayiv) An Extended Definition of Happiness by Ni
