ProcedureStep 1 Revision : Dictation of words and phrases of section B of Unit 4Step 2 Introduction Preview of unit 5The patterns of personal relationships are changing across the globe. Traditional families and friendships are giving way to more modern interrelationships. In the following articles, the writers present a range of practices that characterize this period of relational and familial change：living alone, sharing a room with others and arranged marriage. Passage A looks at two contrasting sides of solitude：the American hero or literary giant who choose to be alone and how solitude is seen as promoting both a strong character and creative inspiration and, how individuals feel about and react to loneliness that is not of their own choosing. The second passage discusses the problems that can arise when college students have to share a dormitory with each other. Differences in preferred lifestyles can often lead to irritation and tension and can occasionally explode into violence. Passage C is a personal account of a USA educated Indian woman who, despite having taken on the western value of individualism, still chose to be part of a traditional arranged marriage.

ProcedureStep 1 Revision : Dictation of words and phrasesStep 2 Introduction Lead-in Question:Why are American heroes, poets and philosophers admired for their solitude？Path of thinking:Whats your opinion about that？Summary:While loneliness is very common in the U.S., few people care to admit to it because it is perceived as some of social disease. It is seen as admirable for American heroes to bravely go alone into the wildness and for poets and philosophers to seek out solitude. Some hunters and explorers prefer being alone when hunting while some poets and hl is not solitary out of choices, the experience is both less enjoyable and productive. We all need to talk to someone not only about the big things but also about the little day-to-day things. As a consequent, lonely people will talk about the little things to themselves, the cat, the dog and, most embarrassingly, to total strangers.Background InformationHenry David Thoreau：U.S.thinkers, eassayist,and naturalist （18171862）John Milton：English poet （16081674）. William Wordsworth： English poet （17701850）. He is regarded as the central figure in the initiation of English romanticism.Main idea of the text The article looks at two contrasting sides of solitude：the American hero or literary giant who chooses to be alone and how solitude is seen as promoting both both a strong character and creative inspiration and, how individuals feel about and react to loneliness that is not of their own choosing.The reading passage focuses on a social phenomenonchoosing to be alone on purpose. The passage can be broadly divided into four main parts：Main idea of each partPart I (Para. 1) it tells us that living alone is a common social phenomenon. By recent count, all 22 million people live alone for one reason or another. Part II (Para. 2) it tells us what people think of living alone.Part III (Paras 3-10) it mentions3 famous literary giants who choose to be alone and tells us what message we can draw from the people who choose to be alone.Part IV (Paras 11-16) it is the most important part as the author makes his comments on living alone.Step 3 ExplanationStudy of the text 1. here we are, all by ourselves, all 22 million of us by recent count, alone in our rooms, some of us liking it that way and some of us not. （Para. 1）Meaning: We are here, living all aloneaccording to recent statistics up to 22 million of us are living alone in our rooms; some like the solitary way of life and some do not like it.By count：by calculating the number of units in a group.e.g. by our count that is the fifth cake you have eaten.我们数了一下，这是你吃的第五块蛋糕。2Loneliness may be a sort of national disease here, and it is more embarrassing fir us to admit than any other sin.（Para 2）Meaning: to feel unhappy when being alone may be a kind of typical American bad habit and Americans feel more embarrassed to admit having this bad habit than any other sin.3. On the other hand, to be alone on purpose, having rejected company rather than been cast out by it, os one characteristic of an American hero. （para 2）Meaning: on ther hand, the deliberate choice of solitude by refusing companions instead of being excluded by others is one special quality of American hero. 4. Inspiration in solitude is a major commodity for poets and philosophers. They are all for it. （para 3）Meaning: inspiration in solitude is the most useful thing for poets and philosophers. They are all in favor of it. 5.they are all for it. （para 3 ）Be for： support, favor.e.g. I am for the chairmans plan.我赞成主席的计划。e.g. I am for sexual equality but I do not want my wife to work. 我拥护男女平等， 但是我不想让我妻子工作。6 Ice cream at one sitting-（para 11）At one sitting：a period of time that a person spends sitting and doing an activity. e.g. I read the book at one sitting. 我坐着一口气把书读完了。Writing 1. 电子词典的优点2. 电子辞典的缺点3. 我的结论写作模式1) the discussion about -has never stopped in the past few years.
