Because he is tired of listening to his father and he is not interested in grammar rules.2. The civilization of Greece and the glory of Roman architecture are so marvelous and remarkable that they should be described in a brief account ; however, what the student could do was single utterance : 〃whoa!〃 without any specific comment.3. Because the schools fail to set high standards of proficiency. They only teach a little grammar and less vocabulary. And the younger teachers themselves have little knowledge of the vital structures of language.4. Because teaching grammar is not an easy job and most of the students will easily get bored if it's not properly dealt with.5. He familiarized his son with different parts of speech in a sentence and discussed their specific grammatical functions including how to use adverbs to describe verbs.6. Because the son had never heard about the various names and functions of words in an English sentence before.7. The author uses 〃road map ，z and 〃cax〃 to describe grammar and vocabulary. Here, 〃road map ，z is considered as grammar and 〃cax〃 as vocabulary.8. Since the subjunctive mood his son used is a fairly advanced grammar structure, the interjection 〃whoa!〃 reflects the tremendous pride the father had toward his son; it also reflects the author's humor in using the word because it was once used by his student, though in twodifferent situations and with two different feelings.(2)1.•Motivation.2.English grammar helps a lot in the following:3.•Use more communicative ways.4.•Read more English from online sources.5.•Read English newspapers,magazines,and books.1. 3.1Word in use1.condense,2.exceed,3.deficit,4.exposure,5.asset,6.adequate,petent,8.adjusting,9.precisely,10.beneficial1.3.2Word building:Practice(1)1)managerial,2)editorial,3)substance,4)survival,5)tradition,6)margin,7)consistency,8)accuracy,9)efficient,10)recovery,11)ministry,12)assembly(2)I.editorial,2.recovery,3.accuracy,4.substance,5.managerial,6.margin,7.assembly,8.Ministry,9.survival,10.tradition,II.consistency,12.efficient1. 3.4Banked cloze1)obliged,2)tedious,3)beneficial,4)abundant,5)adjusted,6)bulk,7)evidently,8)functions,9)efficiently,10)distress1. 3.5Expressions in use1.feel obliged to,2.be serious about,3.run into,4.distinguish between,5.thrust upon,6.was allergic to,7.get lost,8.be attracted to,9.make sense,10.looked upon as1. 4.1Structured writing:PracticeSome bookworms in my dormitory often spend hours reading their 〃Bible〃，Practical English Grammar,and do a lot of exercises in that book,but I don，t care about it at all.My assumption is since I have never learned Chinese grammar,what's the sense of learning English grammar?In fact,English grammar has always been a big headache to me.English grammar is very complicated because,unlike Chinese, there are many verb tenses.Even stranger than verb tenses,English grammar also contains something very confusing.For example,I don，t remember how many times my middle school teacher tried to〃impose〃the differences between used to and be used to on us.Sometimes he would go on with the explanation for20minutes or so.He even summarized the differences by listing three or four points for us to memorize.However,they could never stay in my head.I don，t remember how many times I got it wrong with the sentences containing used to or be used to on my exams.I was really confused with these two phrases, and I can never get them right.In brief,I'm allergic to learning English grammar.Curiously,I just wonder if the native speakers of English have a microcomputer in their brain to help them utter the two phrases promptly with just a click of their brain mouse!⑴人们普遍认为英语是一种世界语言，经常被许多不以英语为第一语言的国家使用。
