to practise writing the title of the essay八、课后小结：Emphasis on the writing procedure→ Prewriting- choosing a topic and exploring ideas→Drafting: getting your ideas on paper→Revising: strengthening your essay→Editing and proofreading: eliminating technical errorsUnit Six Task One DefinitionI What is definition?In talking with other people, we sometimes offer informal definitions to explain just what we mean by a particular term. That is, to avoid confusion or misunderstanding, we have to define aword, term, or concept which is unfamiliar to most readers or open to various interpretations.Suppose, for example, we say to a friend:”Forrest is really an inconsiderate person.”We might then explain what we mean by “ inconsiderate” by saying, “He borrowed my accounting book overnight but didn’t return it for a week. And when I got it back, it was covered with coffee stains.Definition is the explanation of the meaning of a word or concept, and it is also a method of developing an essay.II. The ways to define a word or termThere are three basic ways to define a word or termA. To give a synonym For example: ‘ To mend is to repair.”Or “ A fellow is a man or aboy.”B. To use a sentence (often with an attributive clause) For example, ink may be define in asentence: “Ink is colored water which we use for writing.”C. To write a paragraph or even an essay But a synonymy or a sentence cannot give asatisfactory definition of an abstract term whose meaning is complex. We have to write a paragraph or an essay with examples or negative examples (what the term does not mean), with analogies or comparisons, with classification or cause-effect analysis.III. When we give a definition, we should observe certain principles:1.First, we should avoid circular definitions. “Democracy is the democratic process.”And“astronomer is one who studies astronomy” are circular definition.2.Second, we should avoid long lists of synonyms if the term to be defined is an abstract one.For example: By imagination, I mean the power to form mental images of objects, the power to form new ideas, the gift of employing images in writing, and the tendency to attribute reality to unreal things, situations and states.(picking up words, expressions from a dictionary , in the hope that one will hit)3.Third, we should avoid loaded definition, Loaded definitions do not explain terms but makean immediate appeal for emotional approval.A definition like:’ By state enterprise, I mean high cost and poor efficiency.” is loaded withpejorative emotional connotation. Conversely, “ By state enterprise, I mean one of the great blessing of democratic planning”is loaded with favorable emotional connotation. Such judgements can be vigorious to a discussion, but they lead to argument, not clarification, when offered as definition.IV. Types of definition1.Standard/ Formal definition---denotation is a word’s core, direct, and literal meaning.2.Connotative/Personal meaning---Explains what you mean by a certain term or concept thatcould have different meanings for others.On the other hand, connotation is the implied, suggested meaning of a word; it refers to the emotional response stimulated by associations the word carries with it.A.For Americans, Water gate is associated with a political scandal that means dishonesty.And more words are created with the suffix—gate to mean some scandal in English now, thus, Iran Gate, Intelligence GateB.Dogs, in Chinese culture, may be quite a negative image. It is insulting to call someone adog. What about the western people? In their eyes, dog is lovely and has good associated meanings. They say “ Love me, love my dog.”C.Imperialism means to us Chinese quite negative. Some of the western people may beproud of being imperial and imperialism itself.D.People everywhere may also share some connotations for some words. They are generalconnotations. Mother means love, care, selfless, etc.E.Let’s get the gang together for a party tonight. (a group)Don’t go around with that gang or you’ll come to no good. (degraded group of people or group of criminals)Connotation can make all the difference. It is the mirror of your attitude.3.Extended definition---is an essay length piece of writing using this method of development. V. How to write an extended definitionFollow 4 rules for a good definition:1. Don’t use the words “when “‘where”, giving a definition. A common practice is to definethe noun with a noun, adjective with adjective and so on.2. Remember, that definition is not a repetition.3. Use simple and well- known term in your explanation.4. Point out the distinguishing features of the term.Unit Six Task Two: The TitleI.What is title?A title is a very brief summary of what your paper is about. It is often no more thanseveral words. You may find it easier to write the title after you have completed your paper.A title may be a phrase which can indicate a topic of interest (i.e. your focus) and at thesame time point towards a particular kind of discussion (your mode of argument).Accordingly, your title needs not only to indicate what the essay will be about, but also to indicate the point of view it will adopt concerning whatever it is about.II.The purpose of the titleTo give the reader an idea of what the essay is aboutTo provide focus for the essayTo arouse the reader’s interestIII.How to write a good titleMake it clear, concise and preciseUse a phrase rather than a sentenceExclude all extra wordsIV.Other rules to obeyCenter it at the top of the first page.Use no period at the end or quotation marksCapitalize the first and last wordsCapitalize all other words except●articles (a, the)●the to in infinitives●prepositions containing one syllable●coordinating conjunctions (and, but, or, etc)A title leads, but a poor title misleads. Be sure that it is appropriate. Besides, be careful with the capitalization.Write an appropriate title for each of the introductory paragraphs that follow.1.Title: _____Reactions to Disappointment___________________Ben Franklin said that the only sure things in life are death and taxes. He left something out, however: disappointment. No one gets through life without experiencing many disappointments. Strangely, though, most people seem unprepared for disappointment and react to it in negative ways. They feel depressed or try to escape their troubles instead of using disappointments asan opportunity for growth.2.Title: ____Annoying People_____________________President Richard Nixon used to keep “enemies list” of all the people he didn’t especially like. Iam ashamed to confess it, butI, too, have an enemies list—a mental one. On this list are the people I would gladly live without , the ones who cause my blood pressure to rise to the boiling point. The top three places on the list go to people with annoying nervous habits, people who talk in movie theatres, and people who talk on car phones while driving.3.Title: ___The Meaning of Maturity______________________Being a mature student does not mean being an old-timer. Maturity is not measured by the number of years a person have lived. Instead, the yardstick of maturity is marked by the qualities of self-denial, determination, and dependability.4.Title: _____College Stress____________________Jack’s heart pounds as he casts panicky looks around the classroom. He doesn’t recognize the professor, he doesn’t know any of the students, and he can’t even figure out what the subject is. In front of him is a test. At the last minute his roommate awakens him. I t’s only another anxiety dream. The very fact that dreams like Jack’s are common suggests that college is a stressful situation for young people. The cause of this stress can be academic, financial, and personal.5.Title: __How to Complain_______________________I’m not just a consumer—I’m a victim. If I order a product, it is sure to arrive in the wrong color, sixe, or quantity. If I hire people to do repairs, they never arrive on the day scheduled.If I owe a bill, the computer is bound to overcharge me. Therefore, in self-defense, I have developed the following consumer’s guide to complaining affectively授课题目：Unit Seven The Insight I Gained一、教学目的、要求：（一）掌握：1、To learn the basics of Analogy→ Definition→ Uses→ Methods of Organization2、To learn to use transitions→ What is analogy→ The difference between analogy and comparison知识点：→ The field analogy is used→ The difference between analogy and comparison→ The patterns of analogy（二）熟悉:→The functions and areas analogy is usually used., to learn to use transition知识点: →Functions and patterns of analogy:→ A comparison explains two obviously similar things and considers both their differences and similarities→ An analogy compares two apparently unlike things, and focus only on their major similarities→An analogy is thus an extended metaphor—the figure of speech that declares one thing to be another（三）了解：How to organize an analogy by the way ---subject by subjectHow to organize an analogy by the way—point by point二、教学重点及难点：重点：Functions and patterns of definitionThe differences between comparison and analogyHow to learn to use transitionHow to organize an analogy by the way ---subject by subjectHow to organize an analogy by the way—point by point难点：How to learn to use transitionHow to organize an analogy by the way ---subject by subjectHow to organize an analogy by the way—point by point三、课时安排：共4课时四、授课方式：讲授、课堂快速阅读练习、课堂提问、写作实践讲解五、教学基本内容第六課definition第六課Parts of the essay: The Title六、参考书目：《英语写作手册》，《美国大学英语写作》七、作业和思考题：第一次：Read on the subject and write a definition essay on any of the given topics 第二次：Write an essay of 200-250 words on any of the given topics.第三次：Ask students to practise writing the title of the essay八、课后小结：Emphasis on the writing procedure→ Prewriting-chossing a topic and exploring ideas→Drafting: getting your ideas on paper→Revising: strengthening your essay→Editing and proofreading: eliminating technical errors。

strengthening your essay→Editing and proofreading: eliminating technical errorsUnit Six Task One DefinitionI What is definition?In talking with other people, we sometimes offer informal definitions to explain just what we mean by a particular term. That is, to avoid confusion or misunderstanding, we have to define aword, term, or concept which is unfamiliar to most readers or open to various interpretations.Suppose, for example, we say to a friend: ” Forrest is really an inconsiderate person.”Wemight then explain what we mean by“inconsiderate”by saying,“He borrowed my accountingbook overnight but didn ’treturn it for a week. And when I got it back, it was covered with coffeestains.Definition is the explanation of the meaning of a word or concept, and it is also a method ofdeveloping an essay.II.The ways to define a word or termThere are three basic ways to define a word or termA. To give a synonym For example: ‘To mend is to repair.” Or“A fellow is a man or aboy.”B.To use a sentence (often with an attributive clause) For example, ink may be define in asentence: “Ink is colored water which we use for writing. ”C.To write a paragraph or even an essay But a synonymy or a sentence cannot give a satisfactorydefinition of an abstract term whose meaning is complex. We have to write a paragraph or anessay with examples or negative examples (what the term does not mean), with analogies orcomparisons, with classification or cause-effect analysis.III. When we give a definition, we should observe certain principles:1.First, we should avoid circular definitions. “Democracy is the democratic process.”And“astronomer is one who studies astronomy”are circular definition.2.Second, we should avoid long lists of synonyms if the term to be defined is an abstract one.For example: By imagination, I mean the power to form mental images of objects, the powerto form new ideas, the gift of employing images in writing, and the tendency to attribute reality tounreal things, situations and states.(picking up words, expressions from a dictionary , in the hope that one will hit)3.Third, we should avoid loaded definition, Loaded definitions do not explain terms but makean immediate appeal for emotional approval.A definition like : ’By state enterprise, I mean high cost and poor efficiency.”is loaded withpejorative emotional connotation. Conversely,“By state enterprise, I mean one of the great blessing of democratic planning ” is loaded with favorable emotional connotation. Such judgements can be vigorious to a discussion, but they lead to argument, not clarification, when offered as definition.IV . Types of definition1. Standard/ Formal definition--- denotation is a word’ s core, direct, and literal meaning.2.Connotative/Personal meaning---Explains what you mean by a certain term or concept thatcould have different meanings for others.On the other hand, connotation is the implied, suggested meaning of a word; it refers to the emotional response stimulated by associations the word carries with it.A.For Americans, Water gate is associated with a political scandal that means dishonesty.And more words are created with the suffix — gate to mean some scandal in English now, thus, Iran Gate, Intelligence GateB.Dogs, in Chinese culture, may be quite a negative image. It is insulting to call someone adog. What about the western people? In their eyes, dog is lovely and has goodassociated meanings. They say “Love me, love my dog. ”C.Imperialism means to us Chinese quite negative. Some of the western people may beproud of being imperial and imperialism itself.D.People everywhere may also share some connotations for some words. They are generalconnotations. Mother means love, care, selfless, etc.E.Let’s get the gang together for a party tonight. (a group)Don’tgo around with that gang or you ’ll come to no good. (degraded group of people orgroup of criminals)Connotation can make all the difference. It is the mirror of your attitude.3.Extended definition---is an essay length piece of writing using this method of development. V. How to write an extended definitionFollow 4 rules for a good definition:1.Don ’ t use the words“ when“‘ where”nition,giving.A commonadefi practice is to define thenoun with a noun, adjective with adjective and so on.2.Remember, that definition is not a repetition.e simple and well- known term in your explanation.4.Point out the distinguishing features of the term.Unit Six Task Two: The TitleI.What is title?A title is a very brief summary of what your paper is about. It is often no more thanseveral words. You may find it easier to write the title after you have completed your paper.A title may be a phrase which can indicate a topic of interest (i.e. your focus) and at thesame time point towards a particular kind of discussion (your mode of argument).Accordingly, your title needs not only to indicate what the essay will be about, but also toindicate the point of view it will adopt concerning whatever it is about.II.The purpose of the titleTo give the reader an idea of what the essay is aboutTo provide focus for the essayTo arouse the reader’ s interestIII.How to write a good titleMake it clear, concise and preciseUse a phrase rather than a sentenceExclude all extra wordsIV.Other rules to obeyCenter it at the top of the first page.Use no period at the end or quotation marksCapitalize the first and last wordsCapitalize all other words exceptarticles (a, the)the to in infinitives精品文库coordinating conjunctions (and, but, or, etc)A title leads, but a poor title misleads. Be sure that it is appropriate. Besides, be careful with thecapitalization.Write an appropriate title for each of the introductory paragraphs that follow.1.Title: _____Reactions to Disappointment___________________Ben Franklin said that the only sure things in life are death and taxes. He left something out,however: disappointment. No one gets through life without experiencing manydisappointments. Strangely, though, most people seem unprepared for disappointment andreact to it in negative ways. They feel depressed or try to escape their troubles instead ofusing disappointments asan opportunity for growth.2.Title: ____Annoying People_____________________President Richard Nixon used to keep“ enemies list” of all the people he didn’ t esp like. Iam ashamed to confess it, butI, too, have an enemies list — a mental one. On this listare the people I would gladly live without , the ones who cause my blood pressure to rise tothe boiling point. The top three places on the list go to people with annoying nervous habits,people who talk in movie theatres, and people who talk on car phones while driving.3.Title: ___The Meaning of Maturity______________________Being a mature student does not mean being an old-timer. Maturity is not measured by thenumber of years a person have lived. Instead, the yardstick of maturity is marked by thequalities of self-denial, determination, and dependability.4.Title: _____College Stress____________________Jack ’ s heart pounds as he casts panicky looks around the classroom. He doesn’ t recog the professor, he doesn’ t know any of the students, and he can’at eventh figure out whsubject is. In front of him is a test. At the last minute his roommate awakens him. Itanother anxiety dream. The very fact that dreams like Jack ’ares common suggests thatcollege is a stressful situation for young people. The cause of this stress can be academic,financial, and personal.5.Title: __How to Complain_______________________I ’ m not just a consumer — I ’ m a victim. If I order a product, it is sure to arrive in the wrong color,sixe, or quantity. If I hire people to do repairs, they never arrive on the day scheduled.If I owe a bill, the computer is bound to overcharge me. Therefore, in self-defense, I havedeveloped the following consumer’ s guide to complaining affectively授课题目：Unit Seven The Insight I Gained一、教学目的、要求：（一）掌握： 1、To learn the basics of Analogy→Definition→Uses→Methods of Organization2、To learn to use transitions→What is analogy→The difference between analogy and comparison 知识点：→ The field analogy is used→The difference between analogy and comparison→The patterns of analogy（二）熟悉 :→ The functions and areas analogy is usually used., to learn to use transition知识点 :→Functions and patterns of analogy:→A comparison explains two obviously similar things and considers both their differences and similarities→An analogy compares two apparently unlike things, and focus only on their major similarities→An analogy is thus an extended metaphor— the figure of speech that declares one thing to be another（三）了解：How to organize an analogy by the way ---subject by subjectHow to organize an analogy by the way— point by point二、教学重点及难点：重点： Functions and patterns of definitionThe differences between comparison and analogyHow to learn to use transitionHow to organize an analogy by the way ---subject by subjectHow to organize an analogy by the way—point by point难点： How to learn to use transitionHow to organize an analogy by the way ---subject by subjectHow to organize an analogy by the way—point by point三、课时安排：共 4 课时四、授课方式：讲授、课堂快速阅读练习、课堂提问、写作实践讲解五、教学基本内容第六課definition第六課Parts of the essay: The Title六、参考书目：《英语写作手册》，《美国大学英语写作》七、作业和思考题：第一次：Read on the subject and write a definition essay on any of the given topics 第二次： Write an essay of 200-250 words on any of the given topics.第三次： Ask students to practise writing the title of the essay八、课后小结： Emphasis on the writing procedure→Prewriting-chossing a topic and exploring ideas→Drafting: getting your ideas on paper→Revising: strengthening your essay→Editing and proofreading: eliminating technical errors。
