Ex.1? Understanding the text

1、Because he is tired of listening to his father and he is not interested in grammar rules.

2、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!”?without any any specific comment.

3、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、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、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、Because the son had never heard about the various names and functions of words in an English sentence before.

7、The author uses?“road map”and?“car”to describe grammar and vocabulary. Here,“road map”is considered as grammar and?“car”as vocabulary.

8、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.

Ex.8? Structured writing

Some bookworms in my dormitory often spend hours reading their “Bible”, Practical English Grammar, and do a lot of exercises in that book , but I don’t care about it at all. My assumption is since I have never learned Chinese grammar, what’s the sense of learning English grammar? In fact, English grammar has always been a big headache to me.

English grammar is very complicated because, unlike Chinese, there are many verb tenses. Even stranger than verb tenses, English grammar also contains something very confusing. For example, I don’t remember how many times my middle school teacher tried to“impose”the differences between used to and be used to on us. Sometimes he would go on with the explanation for 20 minutes or so. He even summarized the differences by listing three or four points for us to memorize. However, they could never stay in my head . I don’t remember how many times I got it wrong with the sentences containing used to or be used to on my exams . I was really confused with these two phrases,and I can never get them right.

In brief, I’m allergic to learning English grammar. Curiously, I just wonder if the native speakers of English have a microcomputer in their brain to help them utter the two phrases promptly with just a click of their brain mouse!

Ex.9? E-C Translation

人們普遍認(rèn)為英語(yǔ)是一種世界語(yǔ)言，經(jīng)常被許多不以英語(yǔ)為第一語(yǔ)言的國(guó)家使用。與其他語(yǔ)言一樣，英語(yǔ)也發(fā)生了很大的變化。英語(yǔ)的歷史可以分為三個(gè)主要階段：古英語(yǔ)，中古英語(yǔ)和現(xiàn)代英語(yǔ)。英語(yǔ)起源于公元5世紀(jì)，當(dāng)時(shí)三個(gè)日耳曼部落入侵英國(guó)，他們對(duì)英語(yǔ)語(yǔ)言的形成起了很大的作用。在中世紀(jì)和現(xiàn)代社會(huì)初期，英語(yǔ)的影響遍及不列顛群島。從17世紀(jì)初，它的影響力開(kāi)始在世界各地顯現(xiàn)。歐洲幾百年的探險(xiǎn)和殖民過(guò)程導(dǎo)致了英語(yǔ)的重大變化。今天，由于美國(guó)電影、電視、音樂(lè)、貿(mào)易和技術(shù)、包括互聯(lián)網(wǎng)的大受歡迎，美國(guó)英語(yǔ)的影響力尤其顯著。

Ex.10? C-E Translation

Chinese calligraphy is a unique art and the unique art treasure in the world. The formation and development of the Chinese calligraphy is closely related to the emergence and evolution of Chinese characters. In this long evolutionary process, Chinese characters have not only played an important role in exchanging ideas and transmitting culture but also developed into a unique art form. Calligraphic works well reflect calligraphers’ personal feelings, knowledge, self-cultivation, personality, and so forth, thus there is an expression that “seeing the calligrapher’s handwriting is like seeing the person”. As one of the treasures of Chinese culture, Chinese calligraphy shines splendidly in the world’s treasure house of culture and art.?

EX. 6? Sentence structure

.

even though it is important of the students to have a deep understanding of the texts, it doesn’t make any sense to read texts word for word from the beginning to the end

as it is a matter of little importance to us, it doesn’t make much sense to argue out which is wrong or right or which is better or worse

it makes no sense to compel children to obey their parents; instead, we should try to tell them what is right and what is wrong.
