27、 of potential learners, advertisements usually exaggerate the fast pace and great ease of learning English. T2. To be able to read the original works by great writers can be a motivation for people to learn the language of those great writers. T3. People dont believe what advertisements say about la

28、nguage learning at all. F 4. Each individual teacher may have his or her unique way of teaching a language. TSentence rearrangement 1. No doubt this is true to a certain extent, but it is not very helpful to students.2. But it is difficult for anyone to explain in simple language why one method is b

29、etter than another, and it is no use pretending that anyone has discovered a perfect way of teaching English in every possible situation. 3. It is natural for students to be attracted to methods that will teach them as quickly and efficiently and cheaply as possible. 4. Some experts even argue that

30、there are as many good methods of teaching a language as there are good teachers, because every teacher is an individual with his own personality.Key: 3-2-4-1Questions and answer Q 1 What do advertisements for English learning always claim? It is easy to learn English; it doesnt take much time; it d

31、oesnt take much effort. Q 2 Why do those advertisements also refer to famous writers like William Shakespeare or Charles Dickens? Both they were great writers and are considered ad great masters of the English language. The advertisers intend to use the two British writers to encourage students to j

32、oin them in learning English so that they will be able to enjoy works by these great writers in the original.Q 3 What is the writers response to such advertisements? Its impossible to learn English well in a short time; many people must believe these ads.SkimmingQ 4 Does the author feel satisfied wi

33、th the fact that every teacher has his or her own way of teaching English?No. The author recognizes the fact but does not feel happy about it because he thinks simply pointing out the fact does not help students much.If it were as easy to learn English as they say, I would have to look for another j

34、ob, because very few qualified teachers would be needed. Q 5 What is the authors profession? He must be an English teacher whose job is to train qualified English teachers.Q 6 What is meant by “every teacher is an individual with his own personality”?It means that different teachers have different p

35、ersonalities and, therefore, a teacher may have his or her own way of teaching English.Q 7 If you all feel that your teachers way of teaching is good and acceptable, does it mean that everyone in your class can learn English well enough?No. The reason is simple. Each student is an individual with hi

36、s or her own personality. That is why the teach should attend to / satisfy / meet the individual needs of his or her students.No doubt this is true to a certain extent, but it is not very helpful to students.Q 8 What can we learn from the expression “This is true to a certain extent, but ”?We can se

37、e the author doesnt totally agree with the previous statement.Q 9 Then, what, in the authors opinion, is helpful to students?Students should have some good methods in learning English.2) Part IITrue or false The only way to learn a language well is to go and live in a country where it is spoken. FQu

38、estions and answer Q 1 What are the two extremes concerning the beliefs of language learning? On one hand, some believe that the only way to learn a foreign language is to spend a great deal of time in the target country; on the other hand, some learners claim that they can master a foreign language

39、 just by self-study with only the help of dictionaries. Q 2 Could you give some examples to show that “it is wrong to assume that each word in English has a precise equivalent in another language and vice versa”?One example is that the English word “aunt” may refer to 姑母，姨母，舅母，婶母，伯母，etc. Another cas

40、e in point is that in Chinese we have “mantou”(馒头）which has no precise equivalent in English, though we can paraphrase it as “steamed bread”. 3) Part IIITrue or false Learning a language is just like how a parrot imitates a human being. FQuestions and answer What would teachers who believe in behavi

41、orist psychology encourage students to do in the language learning context?Behaviorists believe that language learning is a kind of habit formation and they assume that people learn things very much like parrots and chimpanzees. So teachers who believe in behaviorist psychology would ask students to

42、 repeat phrases and do mechanical exercises by imitation. 4) (Part IV)Questions and answerQ 1 What is the authors opinion about learning a new language?The author believes that no one can learn a new language well enough unless he or she is interested in it. He also thinks that the way of learning t

43、o speak and write in another language is probably similar to the way of learning ones mother tongue.Q 2 What does the writer emphasize towards the end of this essay?He emphasizes the importance of group work in learning a new language.Q 3 Why does the writer repeat the word “real” in the last senten

44、ce?He wants to emphasize the idea that language learning should be based on “real situations” in “real life” and the language we learn should be “real language”.5)Summary of the textDirection: Complete the following passage with words chosen from this unit.
