Lesson 41 Illusions of pastoral peaceKey to CompositionSpecial Note: Pram this point in the course, while the Students' Book suggests a choice of two compositions, only one is chosen as a model.A possible answerPlan and ideas for compositionTitle: Give the countryIntroduction: Never understood city-lovers — city a place to visit, to go shopping, to see special exhibitions, etc. — not live inDevelopment: Advantages — living in country — quiet — more healthy — less traffic — fresh air — fresh food from farms or village shops — people polite and friendly. . .Disadvantages —living in city —noisy —dirty —stressful —people always in rush —rude, unfriendlyConclusion: Always a mystery why some country people say — like to live in city CompositionI have never understood city-lovers. For me a city is a place to visit for a few hours, to go shopping, to see special exhibitions, shows, plays and films. But it's not a place to live in, even though thousands do. Usually they are tied to the city by their jobs or perhaps even by family. There are so many advantages to living in the country. It is quiet and more healthy. There is far less traffic on the roads and the air is so much fresher. Instead of buying everything in packets from a supermarket, in the country we can always buy fresh food from farms or village shops every day — milk, fruit, fresh eggs, vegetables and meat. And we don't have to look at "Use by. . . " labels to see when we must use something by: we know that everything is fresh. And the people in the country are always so polite and friendly too — as long as you obey the unwritten rules of the countryside, that is.On the other hand, there are so many disadvantages to living in a town or city. The first thing most country people notice is the noise and dirt. It must be the traffic, but many country people find it difficult to breathe in the city. And it is stressful, too: people always seem to be in a rush, and they are so often rude and unfriendly.There are so many advantages to living in the country that it is a mystery to me why some country people say they would like to live the city. In fact, I just cannot understand how anyone can even consider living in the city. (282wards)Lesson 42 Modern cavemenKey to CompositionA possible answerPlan and ideas for composition ( a )Title: Caught in a caveIntroduction: Went out for day on beach — walked round headland — found deserted beach —marvellous day swimming, sunbathing, reading — late afternoon began to pack up Development: Took time — began to walk to headland — suddenly realized — tide coming in fast — walked faster — tide reached head-land rocksSaw cave in cliff — hoped to climb — went in — couldn't see way out — started back — tide coming in cave — found a "chimney" — climbed up — managed to reach the top of cliff Conclusion: Never so frightened in life — never do it againCompositionOne day last summer Rob, a friend of mine, decided to go out for a day on his own. He took a day off work and went to the beach. He walked round the headland a mile from the town and found a deserted beach. He couldn't believe it: there was no one else there. He spent a marvellous relaxing day there swimming, sunbathing and reading, and for the whole day he was the only one on the beach. Then late in the afternoon, he decided to pack up and go home.He took his time drying himself, changing and packing his things into the shoulder bag he had brought with him, and then began to walk towards the headland. As he was walking along the beach, he suddenly realized that the tide was coming in: it was coming in very fast, and he began to get a little worried. He walked faster, but soon the tide had reached the headland and there was no way that he could walk around.He looked round and saw a cave in the cliff. As he hoped to climb up inside it, he went in. Unfortunately, he just couldn't see a way out, so he started back. It was too late: the tide was coming in the cave and as he looked down from the point he had reached, the sea that was already covering the floor of the cave and beginning to rise up the chimney in the cave. He turned round and started climbing again —and eventually found a smaller chimney that he managed to climb up to reach the top of the cliff.He had never been so frightened in his life. He promised himself that he would never do it again.

It had been anchored to the side of the canal after it had been launched and was as big as many of the boats on the canal. It was about eighteen feet long and about six feet wide, and the sides were about three feet high.When a number of teenage girls and boys came along the canal path early in the evening, they thought the dish looked fascinating. There were about ten of them and they all jumped or climbed into the dish one by one. The first thing that happened was that they started slipping and sliding everywhere and all fell down in the bottom of the dish because it was so smooth. They all laughed a lot.Then one of them turned on the large portable radio that he had brought with him and some of them started dancing. (At least there was no one near the canal to complain about the noise. ) Suddenly the dish began to move in the water. It went down one side, and then down one end, and the teenagers moved to the other end. Then it started dipping that end and they all slid into a pile. At that point the rim of the dish reached the level of the water. Once that happened, the teenagers couldn't climb back up to the other end, and the water started pouring in. It capsized in minutes and sank in seven feet of water. Fortunately they all managed to swim to the bank and were safe.The teenagers may not have done much damage, but if they hadn't held their party on the dish, it wouldn't have sunk and the insur-ance company wouldn't have had to pay to salvage it from the canal. .

Flying has many advantages that regular international travellers will tell you about, but it has many disadvantages.When you travel by train, you turn up at the railway station, buy a ticket to your destination, go onto the platform and get on the train when it arrives. With travelling by air, booking itself is a major problem. Immediately you are faced with choices because different airlines offer the same flights for different prices. Personally I never know which to choose.And then there's the real time. When they tell you that it is a two-hour flight, add at least five hours to that. Remember first of all that you have to get to the airport (by car, bus, coach or train). Then you have to check in —usually at least an hour before take-off —go through customsand-passport control, and then wait in the departure lounge (bored out of your mind!) until your flight is called. Boarding takes at least half an hour, and then you sit in the aircraft waiting to take off. At the other end, after your flight, again you are sub-jected to customs and passport control before waiting for your luggage before you catch your transport from the airport to your real destination.On the flight itself you are squashed in, often sitting next to strangers who might have strange or bad habits, such as an irritating cough. They always give you a meal, but airline food often tastes like plastic and there is rarely any choice. Three are just two small toilets for hundreds of people and there is the constant drone of engines and the' hum of the air-conditioning system.For some travellers, too, there is a constant sense of danger: Will we arrive safely? — Will any of the engines fail? — What if there's a mad hijacker on board? —Flying has many disadvantages but millions will still go on flying.

It doesn't usually mean that a person has been living in rags and then becomes extremely rich. The expression is not quite right to describe what happened to John, but not far wrong.John's life had been very ordinary and certainly lacked excitement. He was 25 years old, but he didn't take part in any sport, he didn't have a girlfriend and he didn't drive a car. Instead he went everywhere on his bicycle. In fact he led a pretty boring life, but he was happy.Then one day a friend suggested he do the football pools. (In England this is a way of winning a lot of money. If your prediction! correspond to real football scores, you can win lots of money. ) John did the football pools and won a million pounds. He went mad with the money. He bought a new car and a big house. And then he met a girl and married her. It was all too quick. Very soon they started arguing and soon they got a divorce. Now John is alone again, and living in his big house as a sad millionaire.The lesson of the story is this: never listen to the advice of a friend. If John had never done the football pools, he would never have become a sad millionaire. On the other hand, he is now ableto give a lot of money to charity — to help people less fortunate than himself. (271wards)。

新概念英语第三册逐句精讲语言点第41课（1）新概念英语第三册逐句精讲语言点第41课(1)Illusions of Pastoral Peace 宁静田园生活的遐想The quiet life of the country has never appealed to me. City born and city bred. I have always regarded the country as something you look at through a train window, or something you occasional visit during the weekend. Most of my friends live in the city, yet they always go into raptures at themere mention of the country. Though they extol the virtues of the peaceful life, only one of them has ever gone to live in the country and he was back in town within six months. Even he still lives under the illusion that country life is somehow superior to town life. He is forever talking aboutthe friendly people, the clean atmosphere, the closeness to nature and the gentle pace of living. Nothing can be compared, he maintains, with the first cockcrow, the twittering of birds at dawn, the sight of the rising sun glinting on the trees and pastures. This idyllic pastoral scene is only partof the picture. My friend fails to mention the long and friendless winter evenings in front of the TV-virtually the only form of entertainment. He says nothing about the poor selection of goods in the shops, or about those unfortunate people who have to travel from the country to the city every day to get to work. Why people are prepared to tolerate afour-hour journey each day for the dubious privilege ofliving in the country is beyond me. They could be saved so much misery and expense if they chose to live in the city where they rightly belong.If you can do without the few pastoral pleasures of thecountry, you will find the city can provide you with the best that life can offer. You never have to travel miles to seeyour friends. They invariably live nearby and are always available for an informal chat or an evening's entertainment. Some of my acquaintances in the country come up to town once or twice a year to visit the theatre as a special treat. For them this is a major operation which involves considerable planning. As the play draws to its close, they wonder whether they will ever catch that last train home. The city dweller never experiences anxieties of this sort. The latest exhibitions, films, or plays are only a short bus ride away. Shopping, too, is always a pleasure. The latest exhibitions, films, or plays are only a short bus ride away. Shopping, too, is always a pleasure. There is so much variety that you never have to make do with second best. Country people run wildwhen they go shopping in the city and stagger home loaded with as many of the exotic items as they can carry. Nor isthe city without its moments of beauty. There is something comforting about the warm glow shed by advertisements on cold wet winter nights. Few things could be more impressive than the peace that descends on deserted city streets at weekends when the thousands that travel to work every day are tucked away in their homes in the country. It has always been a mystery to me who city dwellers, who appreciate all these things, obstinately pretend that they would prefer to live in the country.1.The quiet life of the country has never appealed to me.宁静的乡村生活从来没有吸引过我。

City born and city bred(经典句子,作文的highlight,在别的地方同样可以移植类似的结构), I have always regarded(避免了使用think这样的词汇,以后大家要写t hink的时候,就用regard as) the country as something you look at through a tra in window(细节的具象化,ETS不喜欢那些抽象的大道理却偏好这些很具体的小细节,这也就是为什么所有的Topic里边都有一个specific 的原因了), or somethi ng you occasionally(副词的使用充分的表达作者的感情和限定成分,同时避免了s ometimes这种相对常见的使用) visit during the weekend. Most of my friends l ive in the city, yet they always go into raptures at the mere mention of the c ountry(超强的句子!go into rapture,这里用一个很动感的短语表现了friend的狂喜,同时使用了always和mere两个词构成鲜明的对比,表达很生动!). Though they e xtol the virtues(赞美的高级说法,用一个3词的短语替代一个干瘪的praise,不仅在字数上多了,而且表达更好)of the peaceful life, only one of hem has ever gon e to live in the country and he was back in town within(within虽然不是什么高级的东西,但是大家常常忘记用,或者根本没有用within的意识) six months. E ven he still lives under the illusion(under the illusion活在幻想之下,这个短语本身就很好,同时,大家在写作时也可以用:a multitude of people live under the illu sion that A is superior to B, however, from my perspective…)that country lif e is somehowsuperior to town life(somehow也是好词!当你要说有的人荒谬的观点时,就可以说:why some deem A as the optimal choice and somehow super ior to B is really beyond me.). He is forever talking(be forever doing,当强调一个动作的时候,这是很好的,be doing比一个单一的do来的强烈得多) about the friendly people, the clean atmosphere(atmosphere的使用避免的用俗了的enviro nment), the closeness to nature and the gentle pace(gentle pace, gentle完美的形容了乡村生活,准确而生动的形容词使用) of living. Nothing can be compared (又学到了,无与伦比的说法,在表达自己肯定的观点的时候可以使用), he maintai ns, with the first cockcrow, the twittering of birds at dawn, the sight of the ri sing sun glinting on the trees and pastures. This idyllic pastoral scene is only part of the picture(only part of the picture,仅仅是问题的一个方面,这个短语是很常用的!).My friend fails to mention(这里用fail to do替代了does not do,因为does not do实在太低级了,而fail to do则是好很多) the long and friendless (漂亮的使用)winter evenings in front of the TV(又是一个具体的细节,很符合ETS的口味)-- virtually (在写作中actually这个概念是很容易出现了,这里使用了virtually替换,避免了撞车)the only form(看来唯一的方式不仅仅只是the only way, 这里又用了一个替换,避免了过于普遍的用词) of entertainment. He says nothing(ATTENTION:作者一直没有用does not,却两次表达了否定,say nothing肯定比does not say来得好)about the poor selection of goods in the shops, or about those unfortunate people who have to travel from the country to the city every day to get to work. Why people are prepared to tolerate a four-hour jou rney each day for the dubious privilege of living in the country is beyond me (注意这里的why…beyond me这种用法,在你要反驳一种观点的时候是很有用的). They could be saved so much misery and expense if theychose to live in th e city where they rightly belong(其实这是一个作文结尾的不错模版,可以避免单一乏味的重复).If you can do without(do without,把…方在一边,很强的用法,写作的时候需要反驳一方并支持另一方的时候可以用,如:If you can do without the dubious merits of A, you wi ll swiftly find B…)the few pastoral pleasures of the coun try, you will find the city can provide you with the best that life can offer. Y ou never have to travel miles to see your friends. They invariably(invariably是我强烈推荐的always的替换,这个词是人家很常用的) lie nearby and are always available for an informal chat or an evening's entertainment. Some of my acq uaintances(避免了friends的重复)in the country come up to town once or twic e a year(具体的次数其实就是details,大家记住o nce or twice绝对比several time s好很多,这样才可以体现出你文章的specific,不要认为这些小的地方可以忽视,其实在文章中注意细节,是可以make a difference的!) to visit the theatre as a s pecial treat(特殊待遇). For them this is a major operation which involves(invol ve这个词大家都知道,却不常用) considerable(elaborate也不错)planning. As the play draws to its close(draw to its close,接近的意思,避免了过于大众的come t o the end), they wonder(wonder也是一个建议多用的词汇)whether they will e ver catch that last train home. The city dweller never experiences(experience, u ndergo和suffer两个词汇最好是有机会就用,没有机会创造机会用,ATTENTION: undergo, suffer是经历不好的事)anxieties of this sort(没有出现kind). The lates t exhibitions, films, or plays are only a short bus ride away(a short bus ride a way,用具体的描写替代了nearby这个概念,这是大家应该学习的,以后形容近就可以说:A is only a couple of minutes walk away). Shopping, too, is always a pl easure. There is so much variety that you never have to make do with(make d o with,相信这是大家几乎没有听说过的用法,就是凑合着用的意思,和有用的用法,你可以写:Viathe help of B, one will never have to make do with XXX) seco nd best. Country people run wild(run wild是使用避免了crazily这个干瘪的词,如果你能够用frantically当然也很好)when they go shopping in the city and stagger home loaded with as many of the exotic items as they can carry(OMG,这个句子很具体的写出了乡村人的不幸,作者用了stagger蹒跚,loaded with装载,as many as they can多, exotic ite ms外来物品,4个概念组成了一幅农民进城的生动画面,阅卷人就喜欢这样的有d etails)句子,以后大家想要形象的描写一个东西就可以按照这个句子的模式来些). Nor is the c ity without its moments of beauty(双重否定表肯定,用这样的句子就可以显示出你的语言功底,同时要提醒的是moments of xxx这个用法是要一有机会就用的,比如你先说B有什么不好,再说A很好,你就说Nor is A without its moments of XXX). There is something comforting about the warm glow shed by advertisements on cold wet winter nights. Few things could be more impressive than th e peace that descends on deserted city streets at weekends when the thousands that travel to work every day are tucked away in their homes in the country (这个句子你很可能一掠而过,但是这里的结构同样是值得学习的: Few things co uld be more impressive than A其实就是A is more impressive than many thing s,但是这里一个小小的替换就避免了简单的称述句,这是那些句子很单一的同学们应该好好学习的). It has always been a mystery to me who city dwellers, w ho appreciate all these things, obstinately pretend that they would prefer to liv e in the country(漂亮的收尾,没有反对的词汇,却表示出了反对的意思,这也是结尾的一个很好的模版).。
