Yes the 1st and the 2nd traits have something to do with “being ladies and gentlemen” . 3 What are the other qualities an educated one should possess according to the author? And the other traits are: ⚫ Correctness and precision in the use of the mother tongue ⚫ Refined and gentle manners ⚫ The power and habit of reflection ⚫ The power of growth ⚫ One’s possession of efficiency, or the power to do 4. 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
