基础英语 D 综合教程 Book 4 Unit 9 4 3) What attitude do you think that we should take towards financial or physical problems? Part III: An Integrated Analysis of Text 1 The Discus Thrower Highlights This text if a piece of narration. The narrator, as a doctor, had a unique habit of “spying on” his patients for the sake of better medical treatment. He met with a particular patient with a strange habit of throwing the plate. This caused a conflict between the man and the head nurse. Finally the patient died, and the doctor discovered that the man starved himself to death when he paid attention to the repeatedly washed place where the scrambled eggs dropped to the floor. II. Structural analysis Structural Analysis of the Text This passage can be divided into three parts. Part One (Paragraph 1): Spying on Patients—a Habit of Mine This part serves as an introduction to the background of the story. The narrator tells about one of his unique habits of “spying on” the patient and justifies himself for the sake of better medical treatment. Part Two (Paragraphs 2-13): Encounters with a Particular Patient This part talks about the narrator’s contact with the “discuss thrower”. The miserable condition of the patient is compared to a bonsai, as he resembles it in several ways. His confinement caused by blindness is like the restricted growth domain of a bonsai: the domain permitted by a pot. He is legless in the way the roots and braches of the miniature trees are pruned. The reason for his “discuss throwing” is that his plight throws him into despair and he hopes for nothing, only waiting for death. Part Three (Paragraphs 14-15): The Death of the Patient This part tells about how the man is found dead and the doctor discovered the secret that the man starved himself to death as is suggested at the end of the text by the doctor’s attention to the repeatedly washed place where the scrambled eggs dropped to the floor. III Comprehension questions 1. what were his situations in the war in which the unknown soldiers wrote his diary? 2. what was it, as mentioned in all the three entries, that encouraged the unknown soldier to live on? 3. how did the unknown soldier view that on-going war?

Keeping a diary in English is one of the effective ways to improve English writing. It can help cultivate the habit of thinking in English. What is your opinion? The discussion can be based on the following aspects. 1) Keeping a diary in English can help cultivate the habit of thinking in English. 2) Practice makes perfect. A sample discussion on the second topic: With the development of globalization, English has become an indispensable tool for communication. Consequently, people are more and more concerned with English study. Some people suggest that English learners should keep a diary to enhance their English learning ability. In my case, I am not quite on their side. I am in favor of reading to improve English learning ability. For one thing, keeping a diary is a sort of writing which requires some high qualities that might be difficult for English learners, especially elementary learners. However, reading can help solve this problem. While reading, you can pay special attention to the use of words that seem foreign to you. Moreover, you can develop a good mastery of how to write idiomatic English through appreciating native writers’ works. For another thing, reading can broaden your horizon, which will be helpful for you to stand out among other English learners and also, it can foster your ability to contemplate in a different perspective which keeping a diary definitely cannot do because nothing new comes to your mind. In conclusion, to some extent, keeping a diary is a kind of repeated activity, which may keep you at the same level. However, reading can make a big difference in helping you improve your English learning ability, especially writing ability. Oral translation Writing practice
