Text A An impressive English lesson
Ex.1 Understanding the text
1
?/p>
Because
he
is
tired
of
listening
to
his
father
and
he
is
not
interested
in
grammar rules.
2
?/p>
The
civilization
of
Greece
and
the
glory
of
Roman
architecture
are
so
marvelous
and
remarkable
that
they
should
be
described
at
least
in
a
brief
account;
however,
what
the
student
could
do
was
only
one
single
utterance :“whoa!?nbsp;without any any specific comment.
3
?/p>
Because the schools fail to set high standards of language proficiency. They
only
teach
a
little
grammar
and
less
advanced
vocabulary.
And
the
younger
teachers themselves have little knowledge of the vital structures of language.
4
?/p>
Because teaching grammar is not an easy job and most of the students will
easily get bored if it’s not properly dealt with.
5
?/p>
He
familiarized
his
son
with
different
parts
of
speech
in
a
sentence
and
discussed their specific grammatical functions including how to use adverbs to
describe verbs.
6
?/p>
Because the son had never heard about the various names and functions of
words in an English sentence before.
7
?/p>
The
author
uses
“road
map”and
“car”to
describe
grammar
and
vocabulary.
Here,“road map”is considered as grammar and “car”as vocabulary.
8
?/p>
Since
the
subjunctive
mood
his
son
used
is
a
fairly
advanced
grammar
structure,
the
interjection“whoa!”reflects
the
tremendous
pride
the
father
had
toward his son; it also reflects the author’s humor in using the word because it
was
once
used by his student, though in two
different
situations and with two
different feelings.
