What are the necessary fine qualities of a well-educated man in your opinion? Words and expressions for the topic: generosity open-mindedness intelligence responsibility modesty confidence integrity goodness and kindness Text introduction The text is a well-organized piece of exposition developed in a logical order concerned with the five traits of an educated man. The whole essay is characterized by an adequate exposition of the writer’s viewpoints, a clear structure, and a formal style. Structure analysis Paragraph 1 This part reveals the relationship between learning and the marks of an educated man, the relationship between learning and education, and that between education and certain traits and capacities. Paragraphs 2 – 6 This part gives a brief account of the five key traits of an educated man. Paragraph 7 This part tells us that the outline of an educated man may be filled in by whatever knowledge, ability or skills. Cultural background A lot of people would agree that an educated man is a man who has received diploma and graduation from a college. But a university is not a birthplace to poets or immortal authors, founders of schools, leaders of colonies, or conquerors of nations. In short, a university is not the birthplace of an educated man. A university does not promote a generation of Aristotles or Newtons, of Raphaels or Shakespeares. Nor is it content on the other hand with forming the critic or experimentalist, the economist or engineer. Those of them who did receive a University diploma do not owe their success or education to the University they receivedit from. The true thing that made them become pinnacles of education was their own love for knowledge. Today, men such as Martin Luther, Albert Einstein, and Charlie Chaplin can be added to the list. Another trait of an educated man is that he is at home with any society and has common ground with every class. An educated man shall not relate only to other educated men. A true educated man knows he may learn more about the anatomy of a fish from a poor fisherman than a Harvard graduate. He knows he may gain knowledge from all walks of life, and does not limit his knowledge input to the ideas of just one class. The idea of an educated man is still sometimes regarded as a social title rather than a task to complete. It is still stereotyped by what one has done, rather than what he is. Difficulties in understanding the text ⚫ The quite shocking slovenliness and vulgarity of much of the spoken English, as well as not a little of the written English, which one hears and sees, proves beyond peradventure that years of

Para 2 Much of the spoken English, as well as quite a lot of the written English, which one hears and sees is carelessly organized, blunt, tasteless and even ungrammatical. This shocking fact demonstrates beyond doubt that years of attending classes in schools and colleges which are considered to show socially acceptable standards have turned out no good results. 人们在英语口语中听到的大量混乱和粗俗的用法，在英语书面语中也读到不少，这些触目惊 心的现象无疑都表明本应有所成效的多年中学大学教育一无所获。 ⚫ When manners are superficial, artificial, and forced, no matter what their form, they are bad manners. Para 3 If ways of behaving are insincere, strained or unnatural, showing a lack of true feelings, they are impolite or poor manners, no matter how they are embodied. 如果举止浅薄、做作、不自然，那么不管表现得多么天衣无缝，都是失礼之举。 ⚫ When, however, they are the natural expression of fixed habits of thought and action, and when they reveal a refined and cultivated nature, they are good manners.

In simple terms, nouns are “things” (and verbs are “actions”), for example, food. Food (noun) is something you eat (verb). Nouns can be divided into countable nouns and uncountable nouns.

基础英语 A 综合教程 Book 1 Unit 8 8 coin, note, dollar Countable nouns can be singular or plural: My dog is playing. My dogs are hungry. Uncountable nouns are substances, concepts, etc. that we cannot divide into separate elements. We cannot “count” them. For example, we cannot count “milk”. We can only count “bottles of milk” or “litres of milk”. Here are some more uncountable nouns: music, art, love, happiness advice, information, news furniture, luggage money, currency We usually treat uncountable nouns as singular, and we use a singular verb. For example: This news is very important. Your luggage looks heavy. Change as many nouns as possible into the plural. Make other changes if necessary. 1. A bus leaves the terminus at 11:30. That is the last one. Countable nouns and pronouns in these sentences are bus, terminus, and that, one. And leave, is shall also take plural forms correspondingly. Buses leave the termini at 11:30. Those are the last ones. 2. The student thinks highly of the professor. Countable nouns in this sentence are student and professor. And thinks shall be changed into the plural since the subject is changed into the plural. The students think highly of the professors. Noun + singular or plural verb Some singular nouns (or countable nouns in their singular form) can be used with a plural verb as well as a singular one. Nouns like this usually refer to a group of people, an organization or a place and can be thought of either as the organization, place or group (singular) or as many individual people (plural). This is particularly true in British English and less true in American English. When we think of the group as people, doing things that people do (eating, wanting, feeling, etc.), we use plural verbs and pronouns: -The Vatican have issued a further statement this morning. -The committee have decided to dismiss him. But when we consider the group as an impersonal unit, we use singular verbs and pronouns: -The government says it is committed to tax reform. -An average family consists of four people. Here are some examples of words and expressions that can be considered singular or plural: choir, class, club, committee, company, family, government, jury, school, staff, team, union, the BBC, board of directors, the Conservative Party, Manchester United, the Ministry of Health, etc. Some uncountable nouns can be used with a plural verb as well as a singular one. -His whereabouts are/is still unknown.
