(The answer is open.) Questions for after-class discussion: ① What is your ultimate purpose of learning English or other foreign languages? Sample Answer: To be an international citizen in the global village. ② Is learning a foreign language important for learning a different culture? Sample Answer: Language is probably the most significant element in culture. The relation between language and culture is primarily about how language is used and is not about language structure. Actually, language in a specific context may carry some cultural factors. On the other hand, differences in culture mean differences in language because people in different cultures have different classifications of this world. Meanwhile, when a culture experiences radical change, its vocabulary also undergoes corresponding alterations. In a sense, ignoring the language, one could not learn the culture well, and vice versa. ③ Is it necessary for a college student to be a person of bilingualism and biculturalism in modern society? Why? Sample Answer: Cultivating the awareness of bilingualism and biculturalism is extremely important for college students. Bilingual competence enables one to freely communicate with foreigners to get desirable information, which is the most valuable matter in modern society.

9 one must have an active competence in both the source and target languages. Virtually, biculturalism is even more important than bilingualism, since words only have meanings in terms of the cultures in which they function. The awareness of biculturalism makes people become accustomed to their own ways of doing things and have the ability of conceiving of other people accomplishing the same purposes by quite different actions. In a way, the awareness of biculturalism could contribute to equal communications between different peoples in the world. 2) Translation ① 生活在北京决不是生活在温柔富贵乡。(far from) (不定式作主语) To live in Beijing is far from a bed of roses. ② 能和外国友人面对面交流我很开心。(communicate) (动名词作动词宾语) I enjoy communicating with foreigners face to face. ③ 我们已经接触到与该项目有关的全部人员，获得了非常重要的资料。(get access to) (分词作后置修饰语) We have got access to all the people involved in this project and got very important data. ④ 他们昨天参观了这座城市，了解了那里居民的生活情况。(give sb. insights into) (关 系从句 that/which) They visited the city yesterday, which gave them insights into the lives of the people who live there. ⑤ 他抓住了这次机会才获得成功。(opportunity) (that 引导名词性从句作主语) That he seized the opportunity contributes to his success. ⑥ 在商场购物时，我偶然遇到一位多年不见的老校友。(come across) (时间状语从句， 省略主语) When going shopping, I came across a former shoolmate whom I had not seen for ages. ⑦ 老师建议我们积极参加各种课外活动以提高英语水平。(participate in) (虚拟语气表 示建议) The teacher proposes that we (should) actively participate in various after-class activities to improve our English. ⑧ 他十分渴望得到那份工作，因为这是他职业生涯中非常关键的一步。(be eager to do) (be+adj.表示动词意义) He is very eager to get that job, because it is a critical step in his career. ⑨ 他也失败了，和约翰一样的尴尬。(embarrass) (adj.原级) He also failed, and felt the same embarrassed as John. ⑩ 为了跟上世界贸易的进程，中国加入了世贸组织。(keep up with) (不定式作状语) China joined WTO to keep up with the flow of world trade. Summary (Sample): To sum up, learning a foreign language is not only a very difficult and a frustrating experience but also a rewarding and valuable one. When language teachers use positive methods, students feel encouraged to answer eagerly, never worrying about making mistakes. Other times, teachers who are not patient enough are likely to cause students to lose their excitement for answering questions and their desire to say anything in English. However, very large classes may give students fewer chances to answer and may intimidate them

10 because of those who speak much better than they. Studying English online is not different from study in the regular classroom but it gives students freedom to think out their ideas and to write a reply before posting it on the screen. Online learning also brings many benefits such as learning the value of hard work, gaining insights into other cultures, and opening people’s minds to new ways of thinking. Learning a foreign language by computers makes it possible to communicate with many more people and to bridge the gap between one culture and another. Through learning a foreign language, college students should cultivate their awareness of bilingualism and biculturalism. Only in this way, can they become international citizens in the global village and the real masters of the 21st century. Step 4 Section B This step aims at developing Ss’ reading skills and improving their learning methods. 1) Reading skills: Figure out word meanings through context clues. ① Some sentences set off (mark off) the definition for a difficult word by using punctuation. eg. Monogamy, the practice or condition of having one marriage partner, is now adopted by most countries as one of state policies. ② Sometimes helping words, along with punctuation, provide important clues. eg. Still other people are not avoiding work; strictly speaking, they are merely procrastinating—delaying their work. ③ Some sentences tell the opposite of what a new word means. From its opposite, you can figure out the meaning of the word. eg. If we desire to get rid of the slovenliness of our English we can think carefully and clearly before expressing ourselves in it. ④ Sometimes you can use your own experiences to figure out the definition of a word. eg. Confinement requires jailers, and a death punishment calls for executioners. ⑤ Sentences before or after a sentence that has a difficult word sometimes explain the meaning of the word. eg. I had a kind and patient teacher who often praised all of the students. Because of this positive method, I eagerly answered all the questions I could, . ⑥ Some sentences are written just to give the definitions of the difficult words—words that readers will need to know in order to understand what they are reading. eg. .that I could communicate with many more people than before. Talking with people is one of my favorite activities. ⑦ Because some sentences give examples for a new word, you can build a definition. eg. The “vicious cycle” recurs throughout human life. To cure her husband’s faults, for example, a wife may find fault with him. His faults get worse, so she finds fault with him even more. Naturally his faults get worse still. ⑧ Some sentences use a word you do know to help explain a word you do not know. eg. The medical use of some drugs should be carefully regulated by doctors because they are addictive or habit-forming. ⑨ Word part clues—stems and affixes also help to find out word meaning. eg. With many factors unforeseeable, there is no reason for us to show a sweeping
