26、ce, the first thing first and the second thing second. the whole text is made up of two parts.part one (para 1-4): this part introduces to us the love between gail, a white woman and mark, a black man. gail and mark were preparing to get married as they were sure of their love for each other, knowin

27、g each others weaknesses and strengths. furthermore, it is mentioned that their differences only enhanced their relationship, that they were prepared for their forthcoming difficulties as a mixed couple in america, and that they were sure of avoiding the mistake of not truly knowing each other. this

28、 part serves as a general background for us to see what will happen for a mixed marriage in america through the example of gail and mark.part two (para 5-21): this part can be further divided into two subparts, the opinions from gails mother and the opinions from gails father about gails mixed marri

29、age. both the father and the mother had reservations about gails mixed marriage and both of them tried to persuade gail from marrying mark. therefore, these two subparts are compatible to each other in matching relationship as both of them held negative opinions on gails mixed marriage. from paragra

30、ph 5 to paragraph 9, we can find the opinions from gails mother. gails mother tried to persuade gail not to get married, while gail was arguing for herself. even though gails mother argued that marks color is not the problem, she clearly expressed her concern that gail was making a wrong decision. s

31、he concluded that gail should wait and that there was no harm in waiting. from paragraph 10 to paragraph 21, we can find the opinions of gails father. gails father suspected marks intention in marrying gail was to obtain american citizenship. then gails father continued to quote statistics showing t

32、hat mixed couples had higher divorce rates than couples of the same race. he also mentioned the hardships for the children of mixed marriages as an evidence to support himself. this was also refuted by gail. at last, he warned his daughter that it was never too late to change her mind. from here we

33、can see that some americans look at mixed marriages in a negative way.iv. structured writing  a paragraph of denial of some opinions followed by some other opinionsa common way to present opinions or arguments is first to reject or correct some opinions or arguments and then on the basis of tha

34、t, give the opinions or arguments that are intended to be conveyed. the writer uses this common way to present ones opinion. here we can study an analysis of paragraph 7 to show how the mother presents her opinion in this way. the structure can be described in the following chart.  present

35、ation of some ideas, opinions or arguments of another person.                                        

36、;                  correction or rejection of the ideas, opinions or arguments mentioned.

40、en she goes on to reject both of them. the two ideas and the rejections are parallel to each other. in text structure analysis, we call them a matching relationship of compatibility. in other words, the two parts compare with each other in their similarity. both of the ideas are not correct and are

41、followed by corrections. so, we can also call them parallel structure. the mothers original opinion: to start with i must admit that at first i harbored reservations about a mixed marriage, prejudices you might even call them.the mother corrects her original opinion: but when i met mark i found him

42、a charming and intelligent young guy. any mother would be proud to have him for a son-in-law. so, color has nothing to do with it.   the mother presents others opinion: yes, my friends talk. some even express shock at what youre doing.   then the mother rejects that opinion, too:

43、 but they live in a different world. so you see, marks color is not the problem.students can finish exercise xii as an assignment. they can choose a topic and write a paragraph which starts with a correction of one idea and goes on to present another idea. in this way, students can be familiar with
