And what’s the main strategy the author adopt to developthe body of the essay?It is a piece of argumentation. Abundant examples are provided to support her argument in the body of the essay.Section Three Detailed ReadingText ICultural EncountersSusan Bassnett1Inevitably,the spread of English means that millions of people are adding anotherlanguage to their own and are learning how to negotiate cultural and linguistic differences.This is an essential skill in today’s hybrid world, particularly now when the need for international understanding has rarely been so important. But even as more people become multilingual, so native English speakers are losing out, for they are becoming ever more monolingual, and hence increasingly unaware of the differences between cultures that languages reveal. Communicating in another language involves not only linguistic skills, but the ability to think differently, to enter into another culture’s mentality and shape language accordingly.8Millions of people are discovering how to bridge cultures, while the English-speaking world becomes ever more complacent and cuts down on foreign language learning programs in the mistaken belief that it is enough to know English.2World peace in the future depends on intercultural understanding. Those best placed to help that process may not be the ones with the latest technology and state-of-the-art mobile phones, but those with the skills to understand what lies in, under and beyond the words spoken in many different languages.9Paragraphs 1-3Questions:1. What do cheap flights and the Internet mean to people today? (Paragraph 1)Cheap flights mean that millions of people can afford to visit places their parents could only dream about, while the Internet means that numerous people are able to communicate with the remotest places with great ease.2. Exemplify and explain that English has become the most important international language. (Paragraph 2)Conferences and business meetings around the globe are held in English, regardless of whether anyone present is a native English speaker. English has simply become the language that facilitates communication, and for many people learning English is an essential stepping stone on the road to success.Words and Expressions1.access n.entrance; way in; means of entering o r the right to use or look at somethinge.g. The only means of access to the building is along a muddy track.到达那幢楼的唯一途径是沿着那条泥泞的小路前行。
