Memorable Quotes• Education makes a people easy to lead,

but difficult to drive; easy to govern, but impossible to enslave.

― Henry Peter Brougham• A little learning is a dangerous thing;

Drink deep, or taste not the Pierian spring;There shallow draughts (几口酒) intoxicate the Brain;And drinking largely sobers us again.

― Elizabeth Cady Stanton

• Words and phrases suggested• invariable / no exception / Confucian

doctrines ‘ devotion to / cultivation / justice / loyalty to ... /supplemented by new elements such as ...

• For your reference• We don't think there exist invariable standards

in judgment. The criteria for an educated man are of no exception. According to ancient Confucian doctrines, they include devotion to parents, family and friends; cultivation of the mind, self-control; and justice and loyalty to society, etc. But the standards of an educated man are now supplemented by new elements, such as a substantial amount of knowledge; self-confidence and self-esteem confronting challenges; responsibility to a civilized modern society, and so on.

Part 1

II. Text learning _ Part 1 U8-B1

Main Idea of Part 1

This part tells us about the relationship between learning and the marks of an educated man, the relationship between learning and education, and that between education and certain traits and capacities which have to be acquired by conscious efforts.


5

• What do you think of the question raised at the very beginning?

The question put forward at the very beginning is both attractive and very important. It is very attractive because it holds the readers' attention and causes the readers to think about its answer. It is very important because it is directly related to the topic of the essay.

“What are the marks of an educated man?” (L1, Para.1)


• What is the main idea of the first paragraph?

•The first paragraph first asks a topic-related question and then points out the relationship between learning and the marks of an educated man, between learning and education, and between education and certain traits and capacities which have to be gained by conscious efforts.


It is plain that one may gain no inconsiderable body of learning in some special field of knowledge without at the same time acquiring those habits can traits which are the marks of an educated gentleman. (L.1, Para.1)


• How many negative words are there in this sentence and how will you explain them?

• What about analyzing the syntactic structure of the sentence?

Double negativeA double negative occurs when two forms of negation are used in the same clause. In formal English it is used to negate a negation, and therefore, it resolves to a positive. e.g.We don't need no education. We don't need no thought control.There isn't a day when I don't think about her. I don’t want to go nowhere. (?) → I don’t want to go anywhere.


It is plain that one may gain no inconsiderable body of learning in some special field of knowledge without at the same time acquiring those habits can traits which are the marks of an educated gentleman.

• … [that one may gain no inconsiderable body of learning in some special field of knowledge without at the same timeacquiring those habits and traits which are the marks of an educated gentleman].

Adverbial of condition


• … without at the same time acquiring those habits and traits which are the marks of an educated gentleman.

An education will make its mark and find its evidences in certain traits, characteristics, and capacities which have to be acquired by patient endeavor, by following good examples, and by receiving wise discipline and sound instructions. (L.6, Para.1)

• What is the characteristic of this sentence in its structure?



(Paras.2-6)

Part 2


Main idea of Part 2

This part discusses the five waits of an educated man: be correct and precise in the use of the mother tongue; refined and gentle manners; the power and habit of reflection; the power of growth;and possession of efficiency.


• These five paragraphs, which discuss the five waits of an educated man, comprise the body of the essay.

• The second paragraph is concerned with the first trait of an educated man, i.e. he must be correct and precise in the use of the mother tongue.

• The third paragraph points out and defines the second and indispensable trait of the educated man, i.e. refined and gentle manners, presenting a contrast between good and bad manners.


• The fourth paragraph advances and explains the third trait of the educated man: the power and habit of reflection.

• The fifth paragraph puts forth and expounds the fourth trait of the educated man: the power of growth.

• The sixth paragraph mentions and explains the fifth trait of the educated man : his possession of efficiency. The writer presents, explains, or discusses the five traits of an educated man in a reasonable and logical manner.


• Do you agree that the five traits of an educated man expounded in the text are the most important characteristics of an educated man? Justify your answer.

(This is an open question. ) Yes, I do. Because these five traits are the basic marks of an educated man that are acknowledged almost by all.

The quite shocking slovenliness and vulgarity of much of the spoken English, as well as not a little of the written English, which one hears and sees, proves beyond peradventure that years of attendance upon schools and colleges that are thought to be respectable have produced no impression. (L3, Para. 2)


• Can we paraphrase this long sentence?.

The shocking fact that much of the spoken English, as well as quite a lot of the written English, which one hears and sees, is not arranged in a proper order, or is carelessly organized, and shows a lack of fine feeling or good judgment in the choice of what is suitable or beautiful demonstrates or confirms beyond any shadow of doubt that years of attending classes in schools and colleges which are considered to show socially acceptable standards have turned out no good results.


The quite shocking slovenliness and vulgarity of much of the spoken English, as well as not a little of the written English, which one hears and sees, proves beyond peradventure that years of attendance upon schools and colleges that are thought to be respectable have produced no impression.

"Manners make the man." (Para.3)

Infinitive phrases

• An infinitive phrase will begin with an infinitive [to + simple form of the verb]. It will include objects and/or modifiers.

Infinitive phrases can function as nouns, adjectives, or adverbs. Look at these examples:

• To finish her shift without spilling another pizza into a customer's lap is Michelle's only goal tonight.

III. Grammar U8-B1

• To finish her shift without spilling another pizza into a customer's lab functions as a noun because it is the subject of the sentence.

• Lakesha hopes to win the approval of her mother by switching her major from fine arts to pre-med.

III. Grammar U8-B1

III. Grammar U8-B1

• To survive Dr. Peterson's boring history lectures functions as an adjective because it modifies way.

• Kelvin, an aspiring comic book artist, is taking Anatomy and Physiology this semester to understand the interplay of muscle and bone in the human body.

III. Grammar U8-B1

• To understand the interplay of muscle and bone in the human body functions as an adverb because it why Kelvin is taking the class.

Punctuating an infinitive phrase correctly

• When an infinitive phrase introduces a main clause, separate the two sentence components with a comma. The pattern looks like this:

• infinitive phrase, + main clause.

III. Grammar U8-B1

• To avoid burning another bag of popcorn,Brendan pressed his nose against the microwave door, sniffing suspiciously with every breath.

• When an infinitive phrase breaks the flow of a main clause, use a comma both before and after the interrupter. The pattern looks like this:

• start of main clause , + interrupter , + end of main clause.

III. Grammar U8-B1

• Those basketball shoes, to be perfectly honest,do not complement (添彩) the suit you are planning to wear to the interview.

20

• When an infinitive phrase concludes a main clause, you need no punctuation to connect the two sentence parts. The pattern looks like this:

• main clause + Ø + infinitive phrase

III. Grammar U8-B1

• Janice and her friends went to the mall to flirt with the cute guys who congregate at the food court.
