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
