College Life in the United States
Instructors at American colleges and universities have many different teaching
methods. Some instructors give assignments every day. They grade homework. Students in
their classes have to take many quizzes, a midterm exam, and a final exam. Other instructors
give only assignments. Some teachers always follow a course outline and usually use
textbook. Others send students to the library for assignments.
The atmosphere in some classrooms is very formal. Students call their instructor “
Professor Smith,” “Mrs. Jones,” and so on. Some teachers wear business clothes and give
lectures. Other classrooms have an informal atmosphere. Students and lectures discuss their
ideas. Instructors dress informally, and students call them by they first name. American
teachers are not alike in their teaching styles.
At American colleges and universities, libraries and learning centers are available to
the students. They can often use typewriter, tape recorders, video machines, and computers.
They can buy books, notebooks, and other thing at campus stores. There are also services
available to the students. They can get advice on their problems from counselors and
individual help with their classes from tutors. In addition to facilities and services for study,
colleges and universities usually offer facilities for recreation. Some schools have swimming
pools and tennis courts. Most have snack bars or cafetarias. (Taken from INTERACTIONS,
Kirn, 1985)

1. READING
You have to read the following text at home
“How can I get to the Post office?”
I have a special rule for travel: never carry a map. I prefer to ask for directions. Sometimes I
get lost, but I usually have a good time. I can practice a new language, meet new people, and
learn new customs. And I find out about different “styles” of directions every time I ask,
“How can I get to the post office?”
Foreign tourist often confused in Japan because most streets there don’t have names; in
Japan, people use landmarks in their directions instead of their street names. For example,
the Japanese will say to travelers, “Go straight down to the corner. Turn left at the big hotel
and go past a fruit market. The post office is across from the bus stop.”
In the countryside of the American Midwest, there are not usually many landmarks. There
are no mountains, so the land is very flat; in many places there is no town or buildings within
miles. Instead of landmark, people will tell you directions and distances. In Kansas or Iowa,
for instance, people will say,” Go north two miles. Turn east, and then go another mile.”
People in Los Angles, California, have no idea of distance on the map: they measure distance
in Los Angles in time, not miles. “ How far away is the post office?” you ask. “Oh,” they
answer, “it’s about five minutes from here.” You say, “ Yes, but how many miles away is it?”
They don’t know.

Women in the Nuclear Family
The family is changing. In the past, grandparents, parents, and children used to live together;
in other words, they had an “extended family.” Sometimes two or more brothers with their
wives and children were part of this large family group. But family structure is changing
throughout the world. The “nuclear family” consists of only one father, one mother and
children; it is becoming the main family structure everywhere.
The nuclear family offers married women some advantages: they have freedom from their
relatives, and husband does not have all the power of the family. Family structure in most
part of the world is still “patriarchal”; that is the father is the head of the family and makes
most of the important decisions. Studies show, however, that in nuclear families, men and
women usually make an equal number of decisions about family life. Also, well-educated
husbands and wives often prefer to share the power.
But wives usually have to “pay” for the benefits of freedom and power. When women lived in
extended families, sisters, grandmothers, and aunts helped one another with housework and
childcare. In addition, older women in a large family group had important positions. Wives
in nuclear families do not often enjoy this benefit, and they have another disadvantage, too;
women generally live longer than their husbands, so older women from nuclear families
often have to live alone.

Untitled
Most children have achieved remarkably sophisticated language capabilities by the age of
three. Their vocabularies have reached about 1000 words, and they can use as many as five of
those words in a single sentence. They make up new words, too. They can speak about the
past and future as well as the present. They understand that some words have more than one
meaning. They can duck when a ball is coming or see a duck on lake. They have began to use
negatives (“That’s not mine”) and helping verbs (“I can do it myself”).
Over the next two years, their vocabulary will more than double. They will begin to play with
words, to repeat silly sounds, to try out “toilet” words or even swear words, just to elicit an
adult’s reaction. Newly aware of the power of words, they will begin to argue, and they will
start to tell jokes.
This language play carries on a process of experimentation that began when child was an
infant, first encountering language. At one time, experts thought children learned language
simply by imitating adults. Nowadays, most linguists agree that children learn primarily by
experimenting-by listening and thinking about what they hear, by making their own sounds,
and then by observing the way others react.
2. SPEAKING
Language comes first as a great garble of sound. Slowly, children learn to hear individual
sound patterns, or words. They try out sounds. For example babies
A : Hi, how have you been for a week?
B : I have (I’ve) been fine.
A : What have you done then?
B : I have finished my homework and visited my friends in Jakarta.
A : Sounds good. And how has you sister been?
B : She has (She’s) been fine too.
A : What has she done for a week?
B : As I know, she has just returned home after a vacation in Bali.

Advertising: The Selling of a Product
A consumer walks into a store. He stands in front of hundreds of foxes of laundry detergent.
He chooses one brand, pays for it, and leaves. Why does he pick that specific kind of soap? Is
it truly better than the others? Probably not. These days, many products are nearly identical
to each other in quality and price. If products are almost the same, what makes consumers
buy one brand instead of another? Although we might not like to admit it, commercials on
television and advertisements in magazines probably influence us much more than we think
they do.
Advertising informs consumers about new products available on the market. It gives us
information about everything from shampoo to toothpaste to computers and cars. But there
is one serious problem with this. The “information” is actually very often “misinformation.”
It tells us the products’ benefits but hides their disadvantages. Advertisings not only lead us
to buy things that we don’t need and can’t afford, but it also confuses our sense of reality.
“Zoom toothpaste prevents cavities and give you white teeth!” the advertisement tells us. But
it does not tell us the complete truth: that a healthy diet and a good toothbrush will have the
same effect.
Advertisers use many methods to get us to buy their products. One of their most successful
methods is to make us feel dissatisfied with ourselves and our imperfect

Television: How it Affects Us
How does television affect our lives? It can be very helpful to people who carefully choose the
shows that they watch. Television can increase our knowledge of the outside world; there are
high-quality programs that help us understand many fields of study: science, medicine, the
arts, and so on. Moreover, television benefits very old people who can’t often leave the house,
as well as patient in the hospitals. It also offers non-native speakers the advantage of daily
informal language practice; they can increase their vocabulary and practice listening.
On the other hand there are several serious disadvantages to television. Of course, it provides
us with a pleasant way to relax and spend our free time, but in some countries, people watch
the “boob tube” for an average of six hours of more a day. Many children stare at a t.v. screen
for more hours each day than they do anything else, including studying and sleeping. It’s
clear that the tube has a powerful influence on their lives and that its influence is often
negative.
Recent studies show that after only thirty seconds of t.v., a person’s brain “relaxes” the same
that it does just before the person falls asleep. Another effect of television on the human
brain is that it seems to cause poor concentration. Chidden who view a lot t.v. can often
concentrate on a subject for only fifteen to twenty minutes; they can pay attention only for
amount of time between commercials.

1. READING

How has a computer application influenced our attitudes?
Attitudes are associated with almost every learning activity. An attitude is an internal state
that affects our tendency to respond in a certain way. People generally have a positive or
negative emotional reaction to any learning situation. That emotional reaction influences our
attitudes about what we have learned. Our attitudes influence how we respond with respect
to our knowledge and skills. Attitudes are involved in choices made about smoking
cigarettes, attendening an opera, studying, following safety procedures, and obeying traffic
laws. Attitudes can be influenced and changed through the use of classical condition,
reinforcement, and human modeling.
Any computer application will have some influence on student attitudes. If the program is
designed to adapt to individual needs, then the student will experience success and have a
positive emotional reaction. If the program is too easy or too difficult, the student will
become bored or frustrated, which leads to negative attitudes. If appropriate gaming
elements are incorporated into the application, then the students will be motivated to
continue to interact with the program. When students have a choice, they will engage in
those learning activities that are enjoyable and relevant to their interests. Computer-based
videodisc applications can be used to demonstrate or model appropriate choice behaviors.

Food Personalities
People express their personalities in their clothes, their cars, and their homes. Astudy shows
that our diets are also an expression of our personalities. Perhaps wedon’t choose foods only
for taste and nutrition. We might choose them becausethey “tell” people something about us.
For example, some people mainly eatgourmet foods, such as caviar and lobster, and they eat
only in expensiverestaurants (never in cafeterias or snack bars). They might want to “tell” the
worldthat they know about the “the better things in life.”
Human beings can eat many different kinds of foods, but some people choose notto eat meat.
These vegetarians often have more in common than just their diet.Their personalities might
be similar, too. For example, vegetarians in the UnitedStates may be creative people, and
they might not enjoy competitive sports or jobs.They worry about their health of the world,
and they probably don’t believe in war.
Some people eat mostly “fast food”. One study shows that many fast food-eatershave a lot in
common with each other, but they are very much different fromvegetarians. They are
competitive and good at business. They are also in hurry.Many fast food eaters might not
agree with this description of their personalities,but it is a common picture of them.Some
people also believe that people of the same astrological sign have similar foodpersonalities.
Arians (born under the sign of Aries, between March 21 and April 19)

Are Men More Creative Than Women?
Through out history it has been men, for the most part, who have engaged in public life. Men
have sought for public achievement and recognition, while women obtained their main
satisfactions by bearing and rearing children. In women’s eyes, public achievement makes a
man more attractive as a marriage partner. But for men the situation is reversed. The more a
woman achieves publicly, the less desirable she seems as a wife.
There are three possible positions one can tackle about male and female creativity. The first
is that males are inherently more creative in all fields. The second is that if it were not for the
greater appeal of crating and cherishing young human beings, females would be as creative
as males. If this were the case, then if men were permitted the enjoyment women have
always had in rearing young children, male creativity might be reduced also. (There is some
indication in the United States today that this is so.) The third possible position is that
certain forms of creativity are more congenial to one sex than to the other and that the great
creative acts will therefore come from only one sex in a given field. (Taken from Mozaic,
Wegmann & Kenezevic, 1985)
“if it were not for the greater appeal of crating and cherishing young human beings,females
would be as creative as males”The sentence above is called a conditional sentence.
Conditional sentences have two parts: the if clause and the main clause. There are three types
of conditional sentences: Type 1: the action at present or future = probable to happen Type 2:
contrary to the facts at present = impossible to happen Type 3: contrary to the facts in the
past = impossible to happen
Type If clause Main clause
Type 1
If you do not study hard, (it
is probable that you do not
study hard)
you will not pass the exam. (it is
probable that you do not pass
the exam)
Type 2
If you lived in the moon,
(impossible that you live in
the moon)
You would see the earth above
you. (impossible that you see the
earth above you)
Type 3
If we had got independence
in 1940, (we did not get
independence in 1940)
Japanese would not have
colonialized our country.
(Japanese colonialized our
country)
Type 1 If subject verb 1st Subject will verb 1st
Type 2 If subject verb 2snd Subject would verb 1st
Type 3 If subject had verb 3rd Subject would have verb 3rd
Note:
Possible variations of the basic forms:Conditional sentences may take negative forms.In
type 1 instead of will, we may use can, may, might, must, or should.In type 2 instead of
would, we may use might or could.In type 3 instead of would have, we may use might
have, or could have.

Charlie Chaplin, Creator of Comedy
Charlie Chaplin has broken all records in making people laugh. No one has so set a whole
world laughing as the little man with the bowler hat, the cane, and the overlarge shoes.
Much has been written about Chaplin’s art and his legendary career, and opinions have
varied widely. But perhaps the commentator who called him “the most universal human
being of our time” comes closest to the truth. Those who have called him a genius stress the
timeless and universal qualities in his work. It is an art filled with tragic undertones and deep
human feeling, with which an audience cannot help but become involved and identified. It is
for these reasons, I believe, that the figure of “Charlie” has kept its grip on generation after
generation.
All his biographers agree that Chaplin’s miserable childhood in the London slums was the
decisive influence in his development and in the type of films he made. Chaplin himself
emphasizes it in his memories. The more one reads about his earliest period, the more one is
inclined to agree. For Chaplin, his suffering youth has a lingering fascination: it gave him a
world that he could transform with his imagination onto the movie screen.
Chaplin was never afraid of tackle controversial subjects in his films. He released a parody on
war (Shoulder Arms) only a few weeks before the American troops came home from the hell
of the trenches in World War I (1918). This was regarded as

they actually do involves putting students into situations where they are simply made to
think and expected to do is as best they can. Most methods teachers customarily use to
“teach” thinking are indirect, rather than direct. These methods are based on the
questionable assumption that by doing thinking, students automatically learn how to engage
in such thinking.
Educational researchers have pointed out time and again that learning to think is not an
automatic by-product of studying certain subjects, assimilating the products of someone
else’s thinking, or simply being asked to think about a subject or topic. Nor do youngsters
learn how to engage in critical thinking effectively by themselves. There is little reason to
believe that competence in critical thinking can be an incidental outcome of instruction
directed, or that appears to be directed, at other ends. By concentrating on the detail of the
subject mater being studied, most common approaches to teaching critical thinking so
obscure the skills of how to engage in thinking that students fail to master them.
If we want to improve student proficiency in thinking, we must use more direct methods of
instruction than we now use. First, we must establish as explicit goals of instruction, the
attitude, skill, and knowledge components of critical thinking. Second, we must employ
direct, systematic instruction in these skills prior to,

  • 2. UNIT 1 1. READING College Life in the United States Instructors at American colleges and universities have many different teaching methods. Some instructors give assignments every day. They grade homework. Students in their classes have to take many quizzes, a midterm exam, and a final exam. Other instructors give only assignments. Some teachers always follow a course outline and usually use textbook. Others send students to the library for assignments. The atmosphere in some classrooms is very formal. Students call their instructor “ Professor Smith,” “Mrs. Jones,” and so on. Some teachers wear business clothes and give lectures. Other classrooms have an informal atmosphere. Students and lectures discuss their ideas. Instructors dress informally, and students call them by they first name. American teachers are not alike in their teaching styles. At American colleges and universities, libraries and learning centers are available to the students. They can often use typewriter, tape recorders, video machines, and computers. They can buy books, notebooks, and other thing at campus stores. There are also services available to the students. They can get advice on their problems from counselors and individual help with their classes from tutors. In addition to facilities and services for study, colleges and universities usually offer facilities for recreation. Some schools have swimming pools and tennis courts. Most have snack bars or cafetarias. (Taken from INTERACTIONS, Kirn, 1985) 2. SPEAKING Activity 1 As a student you have to schedule your routine activities. Fill in the form below. Now ask in turn about routine activities. Follow this model: A : Where are you at 6 o’clock in the morning? B : I am at home.
  • 3. A : What do you usually do at home at 6 o’clock? B : I usually read a book. Schedule of my daily activities No Time Place Activities 1 6 at home. read a book 2 6… 6.10…… ………at contract house Wake up, pray, cook 3 ……… ……… ……… 4 ……… ……… ……… 20 ……… ……… ……… Activity 2 Work in pairs with another partner telling him/her your partner’s routine activities you have talked about. Begin like this: A : Please tell me your friend’s routine activities? B : Well, Ani/Anto is at home at 6 o’clock. S(he) usually reads a book. Etc. 3. WRITING Write down a paragraph about your own routine activities. See the example below.I am usually at home at 6 o’clock in the morning. At the time I often read a book,etc.
  • 4. UNIT 2 1. READING You have to read the following text at home “How can I get to the Post office?” I have a special rule for travel: never carry a map. I prefer to ask for directions. Sometimes I get lost, but I usually have a good time. I can practice a new language, meet new people, and learn new customs. And I find out about different “styles” of directions every time I ask, “How can I get to the post office?” Foreign tourist often confused in Japan because most streets there don’t have names; in Japan, people use landmarks in their directions instead of their street names. For example, the Japanese will say to travelers, “Go straight down to the corner. Turn left at the big hotel and go past a fruit market. The post office is across from the bus stop.” In the countryside of the American Midwest, there are not usually many landmarks. There are no mountains, so the land is very flat; in many places there is no town or buildings within miles. Instead of landmark, people will tell you directions and distances. In Kansas or Iowa, for instance, people will say,” Go north two miles. Turn east, and then go another mile.” People in Los Angles, California, have no idea of distance on the map: they measure distance in Los Angles in time, not miles. “ How far away is the post office?” you ask. “Oh,” they answer, “it’s about five minutes from here.” You say, “ Yes, but how many miles away is it?” They don’t know. 1 We Will be parents in the future. 2 Girls Will be mothers. 3 Boys Will be fathers. 4 All of us Will not be unemployed. 5 Some of us Will not be in Lampung.

He will meet with his academic guidance. Etc. 3. WRITING Write down a paragraph of ten to fifteen sentences about your planning for next semester.
  • 6. UNIT 3 1. READING You have to read the following text at home Women in the Nuclear Family The family is changing. In the past, grandparents, parents, and children used to live together; in other words, they had an “extended family.” Sometimes two or more brothers with their wives and children were part of this large family group. But family structure is changing throughout the world. The “nuclear family” consists of only one father, one mother and children; it is becoming the main family structure everywhere. The nuclear family offers married women some advantages: they have freedom from their relatives, and husband does not have all the power of the family. Family structure in most part of the world is still “patriarchal”; that is the father is the head of the family and makes most of the important decisions. Studies show, however, that in nuclear families, men and women usually make an equal number of decisions about family life. Also, well-educated husbands and wives often prefer to share the power. But wives usually have to “pay” for the benefits of freedom and power. When women lived in extended families, sisters, grandmothers, and aunts helped one another with housework and childcare. In addition, older women in a large family group had important positions. Wives in nuclear families do not often enjoy this benefit, and they have another disadvantage, too; women generally live longer than their husbands, so older women from nuclear families often have to live alone. B. Sentences with non verbal predicates No Subject Verbal Predicate 1 My father Was very active in students’ activities. 2 He Was the captain in this class. 3 My mother Was not active. 4 She Was one of the beautiful girl in her class.

Etc Schedule of Yesterday’s activities No Time Place Activities 1 6 a.m. at home. do jogging 2 ……… ……… ……….. 3 ……… ……… ……… 4 ……… ……… ……… 10 ……… ……… ……… Activity 2 Now ask another friend what your friend did yesterday. Begin like this: A : Where was he at 6 a.m. yesterday? B : He was at home? A : What did he do at home at 6 a.m. yesterday? B : He said that he did jogging. Etc. 3. WRITING Write a paragraph about your own yesterday’s activities.
  • 8. UNIT 4 1. READING You have to read the following text at home Untitled Most children have achieved remarkably sophisticated language capabilities by the age of three. Their vocabularies have reached about 1000 words, and they can use as many as five of those words in a single sentence. They make up new words, too. They can speak about the past and future as well as the present. They understand that some words have more than one meaning. They can duck when a ball is coming or see a duck on lake. They have began to use negatives (“That’s not mine”) and helping verbs (“I can do it myself”). Over the next two years, their vocabulary will more than double. They will begin to play with words, to repeat silly sounds, to try out “toilet” words or even swear words, just to elicit an adult’s reaction. Newly aware of the power of words, they will begin to argue, and they will start to tell jokes. This language play carries on a process of experimentation that began when child was an infant, first encountering language. At one time, experts thought children learned language simply by imitating adults. Nowadays, most linguists agree that children learn primarily by experimenting-by listening and thinking about what they hear, by making their own sounds, and then by observing the way others react. 2. SPEAKING Language comes first as a great garble of sound. Slowly, children learn to hear individual sound patterns, or words. They try out sounds. For example babies A : Hi, how have you been for a week? B : I have (I’ve) been fine. A : What have you done then? B : I have finished my homework and visited my friends in Jakarta. A : Sounds good. And how has you sister been?
  • 9. B : She has (She’s) been fine too. A : What has she done for a week? B : As I know, she has just returned home after a vacation in Bali. Summary of my family condition and activities for a week Members Condition Activities of the family You fine finish homework, visit friend father ………….. ………….. mother ………….. ………….. brother ………….. ………….. sister ………….. ………….. nieces ………….. ………….. nephews ………….. ………….. etc. Activity 2 Now change roles. Practice the activity 1 again. Activity 3 Now tell another friend about the condition and activities of your friend’s family for a week you have talked about. See the example below. A : Please tell me the condition and activities of his/her family for one week. B : Well, he has been fine and he has finished …….etc 3. WRITING Write down condition and activities of your own family for a week.
  • 10. UNIT 5 1. READING You have to read the following text at home Advertising: The Selling of a Product A consumer walks into a store. He stands in front of hundreds of foxes of laundry detergent. He chooses one brand, pays for it, and leaves. Why does he pick that specific kind of soap? Is it truly better than the others? Probably not. These days, many products are nearly identical to each other in quality and price. If products are almost the same, what makes consumers buy one brand instead of another? Although we might not like to admit it, commercials on television and advertisements in magazines probably influence us much more than we think they do. Advertising informs consumers about new products available on the market. It gives us information about everything from shampoo to toothpaste to computers and cars. But there is one serious problem with this. The “information” is actually very often “misinformation.” It tells us the products’ benefits but hides their disadvantages. Advertisings not only lead us to buy things that we don’t need and can’t afford, but it also confuses our sense of reality. “Zoom toothpaste prevents cavities and give you white teeth!” the advertisement tells us. But it does not tell us the complete truth: that a healthy diet and a good toothbrush will have the same effect. Advertisers use many methods to get us to buy their products. One of their most successful methods is to make us feel dissatisfied with ourselves and our imperfect No Tenses Examples 1 Simple Present Tense We like Information Technology. 2 Simple Future Tense We will learn English for two semesters. 3 Simple Past Tense We did not learn English seriously at SMU. 4 Simple Past Tense We have learned English for 6 years.

  • 12. UNIT 6 1. READING You have to read the following text at home Television: How it Affects Us How does television affect our lives? It can be very helpful to people who carefully choose the shows that they watch. Television can increase our knowledge of the outside world; there are high-quality programs that help us understand many fields of study: science, medicine, the arts, and so on. Moreover, television benefits very old people who can’t often leave the house, as well as patient in the hospitals. It also offers non-native speakers the advantage of daily informal language practice; they can increase their vocabulary and practice listening. On the other hand there are several serious disadvantages to television. Of course, it provides us with a pleasant way to relax and spend our free time, but in some countries, people watch the “boob tube” for an average of six hours of more a day. Many children stare at a t.v. screen for more hours each day than they do anything else, including studying and sleeping. It’s clear that the tube has a powerful influence on their lives and that its influence is often negative. Recent studies show that after only thirty seconds of t.v., a person’s brain “relaxes” the same that it does just before the person falls asleep. Another effect of television on the human brain is that it seems to cause poor concentration. Chidden who view a lot t.v. can often concentrate on a subject for only fifteen to twenty minutes; they can pay attention only for amount of time between commercials.

  • 15. UNIT 9 1. READING You have to read the following text at home How has a computer application influenced our attitudes? Attitudes are associated with almost every learning activity. An attitude is an internal state that affects our tendency to respond in a certain way. People generally have a positive or negative emotional reaction to any learning situation. That emotional reaction influences our attitudes about what we have learned. Our attitudes influence how we respond with respect to our knowledge and skills. Attitudes are involved in choices made about smoking cigarettes, attendening an opera, studying, following safety procedures, and obeying traffic laws. Attitudes can be influenced and changed through the use of classical condition, reinforcement, and human modeling. Any computer application will have some influence on student attitudes. If the program is designed to adapt to individual needs, then the student will experience success and have a positive emotional reaction. If the program is too easy or too difficult, the student will become bored or frustrated, which leads to negative attitudes. If appropriate gaming elements are incorporated into the application, then the students will be motivated to continue to interact with the program. When students have a choice, they will engage in those learning activities that are enjoyable and relevant to their interests. Computer-based videodisc applications can be used to demonstrate or model appropriate choice behaviors. (Taken from Computers in Education by Merrill, et al.)
  • 16. UNIT 10 1. READING You have to read the following text at home Food Personalities People express their personalities in their clothes, their cars, and their homes. Astudy shows that our diets are also an expression of our personalities. Perhaps wedon’t choose foods only for taste and nutrition. We might choose them becausethey “tell” people something about us. For example, some people mainly eatgourmet foods, such as caviar and lobster, and they eat only in expensiverestaurants (never in cafeterias or snack bars). They might want to “tell” the worldthat they know about the “the better things in life.” Human beings can eat many different kinds of foods, but some people choose notto eat meat. These vegetarians often have more in common than just their diet.Their personalities might be similar, too. For example, vegetarians in the UnitedStates may be creative people, and they might not enjoy competitive sports or jobs.They worry about their health of the world, and they probably don’t believe in war. Some people eat mostly “fast food”. One study shows that many fast food-eatershave a lot in common with each other, but they are very much different fromvegetarians. They are competitive and good at business. They are also in hurry.Many fast food eaters might not agree with this description of their personalities,but it is a common picture of them.Some people also believe that people of the same astrological sign have similar foodpersonalities. Arians (born under the sign of Aries, between March 21 and April 19) 1 Do you know gourmet eaters? Vegetarians? Fast-food eaters? In your opinion, what kind of people are they? 2 Do you believe the information in this reading? Why or why not? 4.

  • 20. UNIT 12 1. READING You have to read the following text at home Are Men More Creative Than Women? Through out history it has been men, for the most part, who have engaged in public life. Men have sought for public achievement and recognition, while women obtained their main satisfactions by bearing and rearing children. In women’s eyes, public achievement makes a man more attractive as a marriage partner. But for men the situation is reversed. The more a woman achieves publicly, the less desirable she seems as a wife. There are three possible positions one can tackle about male and female creativity. The first is that males are inherently more creative in all fields. The second is that if it were not for the greater appeal of crating and cherishing young human beings, females would be as creative as males. If this were the case, then if men were permitted the enjoyment women have always had in rearing young children, male creativity might be reduced also. (There is some indication in the United States today that this is so.) The third possible position is that certain forms of creativity are more congenial to one sex than to the other and that the great creative acts will therefore come from only one sex in a given field. (Taken from Mozaic, Wegmann & Kenezevic, 1985) “if it were not for the greater appeal of crating and cherishing young human beings,females would be as creative as males”The sentence above is called a conditional sentence. Conditional sentences have two parts: the if clause and the main clause. There are three types of conditional sentences: Type 1: the action at present or future = probable to happen Type 2: contrary to the facts at present = impossible to happen Type 3: contrary to the facts in the past = impossible to happen Type If clause Main clause Type 1 If you do not study hard, (it is probable that you do not study hard) you will not pass the exam. (it is probable that you do not pass the exam)

(Japanese colonialized our country) Type 1 If subject verb 1st Subject will verb 1st Type 2 If subject verb 2snd Subject would verb 1st Type 3 If subject had verb 3rd Subject would have verb 3rd Note: Possible variations of the basic forms:Conditional sentences may take negative forms.In type 1 instead of will, we may use can, may, might, must, or should.In type 2 instead of would, we may use might or could.In type 3 instead of would have, we may use might have, or could have. 5.

  • 23. UNIT 13 1. READING You have to read the following text at home Charlie Chaplin, Creator of Comedy Charlie Chaplin has broken all records in making people laugh. No one has so set a whole world laughing as the little man with the bowler hat, the cane, and the overlarge shoes. Much has been written about Chaplin’s art and his legendary career, and opinions have varied widely. But perhaps the commentator who called him “the most universal human being of our time” comes closest to the truth. Those who have called him a genius stress the timeless and universal qualities in his work. It is an art filled with tragic undertones and deep human feeling, with which an audience cannot help but become involved and identified. It is for these reasons, I believe, that the figure of “Charlie” has kept its grip on generation after generation. All his biographers agree that Chaplin’s miserable childhood in the London slums was the decisive influence in his development and in the type of films he made. Chaplin himself emphasizes it in his memories. The more one reads about his earliest period, the more one is inclined to agree. For Chaplin, his suffering youth has a lingering fascination: it gave him a world that he could transform with his imagination onto the movie screen. Chaplin was never afraid of tackle controversial subjects in his films. He released a parody on war (Shoulder Arms) only a few weeks before the American troops came home from the hell of the trenches in World War I (1918). This was regarded as 1 What our comedian program do you dislike? Why? 2 What is your pinion about the comedian groups in our country?

  • 25. UNIT 14 1. READING You have to read the following text at home Thinking Skills Many teachers today believe that they teach thinking skills. In most instances, however, what they actually do involves putting students into situations where they are simply made to think and expected to do is as best they can. Most methods teachers customarily use to “teach” thinking are indirect, rather than direct. These methods are based on the questionable assumption that by doing thinking, students automatically learn how to engage in such thinking. Educational researchers have pointed out time and again that learning to think is not an automatic by-product of studying certain subjects, assimilating the products of someone else’s thinking, or simply being asked to think about a subject or topic. Nor do youngsters learn how to engage in critical thinking effectively by themselves. There is little reason to believe that competence in critical thinking can be an incidental outcome of instruction directed, or that appears to be directed, at other ends. By concentrating on the detail of the subject mater being studied, most common approaches to teaching critical thinking so obscure the skills of how to engage in thinking that students fail to master them. If we want to improve student proficiency in thinking, we must use more direct methods of instruction than we now use. First, we must establish as explicit goals of instruction, the attitude, skill, and knowledge components of critical thinking. Second, we must employ direct, systematic instruction in these skills prior to, 5.
