Capote                 1 During the winter of 1945 I lived for several months in a rooming house in Brooklyn. It was not a shabby place. It was pleasantly furnished and was kept hospital-neat by its owners and two sisters.        2 Mr. Jones lived in the room next to mine. My room was the smallest in the house, his the largest, a nice big sunshiny room, which was just as well, for Mr. Jones never left it: all his needs, meals, shopping, laundry, were attended to by the middle-aged landladies. Also, he was not without visitors; on the average, a half-dozen various persons, men and women, young, old, in-between, visited his room each day, from early morning until late in the evening. He was not a drug dealer or a fortune-teller; no, they came just to talk to him and apparently they made him small gifts of money for his conversation and advice. If not, he had no obvious means of support.2021/6/78ComprehensionComprehension                 3 I never had a conversation with Mr. Jones myself, which I’ve often since regretted. He was a handsome man, about forty. Slender, black-haired, and with a distinctive face; a pale, lean face, high cheekbones, and with a scarlet star-shaped birthmark on his left cheek; he wore gold-rimmed glasses with pitch-black lenses; he was blind, and crippled, too—according to the sisters. The use of his legs had been denied him by a childhood accident, and he could not move without crutches. He was always dressed in a dark grey or blue three-piece suit and a subdued tie—as though about to set off for a Wall Street office.2021/6/79ComprehensionComprehension                  4 However, Mr. Jones never left the premises. Simply he sat in his cheerful room in a comfortable chair and received visitors. I had no idea of why they came to see him, these rather ordinary-looking people or what they talked about, and I was far too concerned with my own affairs to much wonder over it. When I did, I imagined that his friends had found in him an intelligent, kindly man, a good listener in whom to confide and consult with over their troubles: a cross between a priest and a therapist.       5 Mr. Jones had a telephone. He was the only tenant with a private line. It rang constantly, often after midnight and as early as six in the morning.2021/6/710ComprehensionComprehension                 6 I moved to Manhattan. Several months later I returned to the house to collect a box of books I had stored there. While the landladies offered me tea and cakes, I enquired of Mr. Jones. Thewomen lowered their eyes. Clearing her throat, one said: “It’s in the hands of the police.”        7 The other offered: “We’ve reported him as a missing person.”        8 The first added: “Last month, twenty-six days ago, my sister carried up Mr. Jones’s breakfast, as usual. He wasn’t there. All his belongings were there. But he was gone.”        9 “It’s odd—”        10 “—how a man totally blind, a helpless cripple…”        11 Ten years passed.2021/6/711ComprehensionComprehension                12 Now it is a zero-cold December afternoon, and I am in Moscow. I am riding in a subway car. There are only a few other passengers. One of them is a man sitting opposite me, a man wearing boots, a thick long coat and a Russian-style fur cap. He has bright eyes, blue as a peacock’s.        13 After a doubtful instant, I simply stared, for even without the black glasses, there was no mistaking that lean distinctive face, those high cheekbones with the single scarlet star-shaped birthmark.I was just about to cross the aisle and speak to him when the train pulled into a station, and Mr. Jones, on a pair of fine sturdy legs, stood up and strode out of the car. Swiftly, the train door closed behind him.BACKBACK2021/6/712LanguageLanguage

Simple     The Past Simple is used to narrate past events in chronological order. e.g. Alice left her family home in the morning and moved to the big city. What a busy day it was! She sat and looked at the cosy living room around her. At last the house was hers. She gazed out at the London skyline with awe.2021/6/7422. The Past Perfect The Past Perfect is used to express an action that happened before a definite time in the past. A writer can use it to re-order the events of a narrative for dramatic effect.         e.g. Alice sat and looked at the cosy living room around her. At last the house was hers. What a busy day it had been! She had left her family home in the morning and had moved to the big city. She gazed at the London skyline with awe.Grammar DevelopmentGrammar Development2021/6/743★ Notice that had need not be repeated if the subject of      both verbs is the same.    e.g. She had said goodbye to her mother and (had) caught the train to London.★ It is not always essential to use the Past Perfect. If it is clear that       the events described in the time clause took place before the      one in the main clause, the Past Simple can be used. e.g. After she said goodbye to her mother, she caught the train to London.★ If it is important to show that the first action was completed        before the second one began, the Past Perfect must be used. e.g. When she had raised sufficient capital, she put in an offer on the house.Grammar DevelopmentGrammar Development2021/6/7443. The Past Continuous and the Past Perfect Continuous     The Past Continuous and the Past Perfect Continuous (as with all        continuous tenses) express ideas of activity in progress or        repeated activity.        e.g. She was wearing a green velvet dress. She was hoping the phone would ring. She had been arranging and rearranging the rooms for weeks.Grammar DevelopmentGrammar Development2021/6/7454. The future-in-the-past Sometimes, in a narrative, a writer (or speaker) wants to       express the future as seen from a specific point in the past.        This is called the 'future-in-the-past'.     This is expressed by was going to (+ verb) or the Past       Continuous. e.g. Alice smiled as she thought of the evening to come. She was meeting Peter, and together they were going to see a play at the Adelphi Theatre.Grammar DevelopmentGrammar DevelopmentBACKBACK2021/6/746Vocabulary BuildingVocabulary BuildingPhrasal Verbs with “OFF “and “Out”         Although many phrasal verbs have special meanings, the particles often keep something of their basic meaning.          For example, both off and out can suggest departing or disappearing, but off also emphasises separation, while out sometimes means sudden emergence, absence, clearness, loudness or completion.2021/6/747Vocabulary BuildingVocabulary BuildingOff Off 1、、“离开、断开离开、断开”，如：，如：       bite off——咬断咬断          　　　　　　　　　　    blow（爆炸）（爆炸）sth. off——炸毁炸毁       break off——折断　　　　　　　　折断　　　　　　　　  cut off——切断切断       tear off——撕开　　　　　　　　　撕开　　　　　　　　　 give off——发出，散发发出，散发       go off——离开，爆炸　　　　　　离开，爆炸　　　　　　   keep off——避开避开       take off——脱衣服，起飞　　　　脱衣服，起飞　　　　    see off——送行送行2、、“使进行中的行动停止使进行中的行动停止”：：       break off——突然结束　　　　　　突然结束　　　　　　  call off——取消取消       lay off——解雇　　　　　　　　　解雇　　　　　　　　　   on and off——偶尔，断断续续偶尔，断断续续       shut off——关掉，关上　　　　　　关掉，关上　　　　　　 turn off——关闭，停止关闭，停止2021/6/7483 3、、无实际含义，仅起加强语气的作用：无实际含义，仅起加强语气的作用：       be better off ——生活得更好生活得更好　　　　　　   be well off——富有富有       show off——炫耀，卖弄　炫耀，卖弄　　　　　　　　　  wear off——逐渐消失逐渐消失4 4、、““向下向下””：：       fall off——跌落，掉下　　跌落，掉下　　　　　　　　　　　　get off——下车下车5 5、引申为、引申为““延缓延缓””之义：之义：       hold off——推迟，延迟　推迟，延迟　　　　　　　　　　　 put off——延期，延缓延期，延缓6 6、、 “ “放假放假””：：       have (some time) off－－－－放假放假　　　　     take (some time) off——放假放假Vocabulary BuildingVocabulary Building2021/6/749Vocabulary BuildingVocabulary BuildingOutOut1、、 “出来，出现出来，出现”：：       work out——设计出，锻炼，计算出　　设计出，锻炼，计算出　　    throw out——逐出，拒绝逐出，拒绝       take out——拿出，取出　　　　　　　拿出，取出　　　　　　　     stick （伸出）（伸出）out——突出突出       bring out出现，出版　　　　　　　　出现，出版　　　　　　　　       come out——出现，显露出现，显露       day in day out——日日夜夜　　　　　　日日夜夜　　　　　　  set out——起身，开始起身，开始       stand out——突出，杰出　　　　　　突出，杰出　　　　　　      figure out——想出，算出想出，算出       find out—— 查明，查出　　　　　　查明，查出　　　　　　        hand out——拿出，取出拿出，取出       have it out with ——讲明白，摊牌　　　讲明白，摊牌　　　   make out——成功，表现，了解成功，表现，了解       pick out ——选择，挑选　　　　　选择，挑选　　　　　           point out——指出指出2021/6/750Vocabulary BuildingVocabulary Building2、、“外出，向外外出，向外” ：：       eat out——外出吃饭　　　　　　　外出吃饭　　　　　　　          give out——分发分发       go out——外出　　　　　　　　　外出　　　　　　　　　           hand out——分发分发       keep out——使不能进入　　　　　　使不能进入　　　　　　       look out——小心，注意小心，注意       look out on/up on——面对　　　　　面对　　　　　      stay out——外出外出       watch out for——监视，留意　　　监视，留意　　　          be out of the question——绝无可能绝无可能3、、“熄灭，一点不剩熄灭，一点不剩” ：：       blow out ——吹灭，吹熄　　　　　　吹灭，吹熄　　　　　　       burn out——熄灭熄灭       give out——用尽　　　　　　　　　用尽　　　　　　　　　         put out——关掉，扑灭，熄灭关掉，扑灭，熄灭        go out——熄灭　　　　　　　　　熄灭　　　　　　　　　           out of ——用尽用尽       run out of——用光，耗尽　　　　　　用光，耗尽　　　　　　      sell out——售完售完2021/6/751Vocabulary BuildingVocabulary Building4、、out的常见含义还包括的常见含义还包括“退出，离开退出，离开”：：       back out ——退出，食言　　　　　　退出，食言　　　　　　       drop out——退出，离去退出，离去       get out ——离开　　　　　　　　　离开　　　　　　　　　         go out——离开离开       out of  ——离开　　　　　　　　　离开　　　　　　　　　          move out of——迁出，离开迁出，离开5、、out也有也有“移除，脱离移除，脱离”的含义：的含义：        clean out ——扫除，清除　　　　　　扫除，清除　　　　　　      cross out ——删除，勾销删除，勾销       cut out——割离，排除　　　　　　割离，排除　　　　　　           grow out of ——消除，戒除，不合身消除，戒除，不合身       out of （时间）（时间）——过时　　　　　　过时　　　　　　        out of order——故障，损坏故障，损坏2021/6/752Vocabulary BuildingVocabulary Building6、、out有时候无实际含义，起加强语气的作用：有时候无实际含义，起加强语气的作用：       carry out ——开展，执行　　　　　　开展，执行　　　　　　       die out ——消失，灭绝消失，灭绝       dry out  ——晾干　　　　　　　　　晾干　　　　　　　　　         try out ——尝试，试用尝试，试用  　　  break out ——爆炸，突然发生　　　　爆炸，突然发生　　　　     turn out ——变成，变得变成，变得7、、out还有还有“完全，彻底完全，彻底”的含义：的含义：        buy out——买断，买进　　　　　　买断，买进　　　　　　          fill out ——填妥，填写填妥，填写       hold out ——撑到最后　　　　　　　撑到最后　　　　　　　        knock out ——击倒，击昏击倒，击昏       tired out ——筋疲力尽　　　　　　　筋疲力尽　　　　　　　        wear out ——穿破，穿坏穿破，穿坏2021/6/753Vocabulary BuildingVocabulary BuildingComplete the following sentences using “off” or “out”.ExerciseExercise1.

The phonemic item dictation, consists of the teacher presenting the individual sounds of a language (i.e., their IPA coordinates) to students for transcription. 2. The phonemic text dictation, is an extension of the phonemic item dictation. It consists of the teacher reciting a passage which students phonetically transcribe.2021/6/758 Learning to LearnLearning to Learn 3. The orthographic item dictation is the dictating of individual words in isolation for transcription, similar to the traditional spelling test. 4. The dictation with the broadest learning possibilities is the orthographic text dictation, in which students transcribe a unified passage.Ø Benefits of Dictation     1. Dictation makes the students and the teacher aware of the students' comprehension errors--phonological, grammatical, or both. 2. Dictation shows students the kinds of spelling errors they are prone to make.2021/6/759 Learning to LearnLearning to Learn     3. Dictation gives students practice in comprehending and transcribing clear English prose. 4. It is important for students to hear as well as read a standard version of English. 5.
