2) Cultural notes

Single-parent families

Over the past 20 years single-parent families have become even more

common than the so-called "nuclear family" consisting of a mother, father

and children. Today we see all sorts of single parent families: headed by

mothers, headed by fathers, headed by a grandparent raising their

grandchildren.

Life in a single parent household — though common — can be quite stressful

for the adult and the children. Single parent families deal with many other

pressures and potential problem areas that the nuclear family does not have to

face.

Stresses faced by single parent families

Visitation and custody problems.

The effects of continuing conflict between the parents.

Less opportunity for parents and children to spend time together.

Effects of the breakup on children's school performance and peer relations.

Disruptions of extended family relationships.

Problems caused by the parents' dating and entering new relationships.

In such cases, relatives in the extended family may step in to help take care

of children.


a) Two- and Three-Word Verbs

Many verbs in English consist of two or three words. The first word is a verb

and the second and third words are usually prepositions. In most of these

verbs, the second word receives the stress. Listen to these examples:

The plane took ‗off at seven o‘clock.

John checked ‗up on his mother.

Please drop me ‗off at the corner.

b) Taking Notes on Examples

In English there are many expressions to signal examples. Here are a few:

For example,…

For instance,…

As an example,…

„ such as …

To give (one) example,…

In notes, people often use the abbreviation e.g. to indicate an example.

c) Linking

In writing, words are separated by spaces. In speech, words are usually

separated by pauses. However, sometimes words don‘t have pauses between

them. The words are linked, or connected.

Words are linked according to the following rules:

1. In a phrase, when a word ends in a consonant sound and the next word

starts with a vowel sound, the two words are linked.

2. If a word ends in the vowel sounds /iy/ as in me, /ey/ as in say, /ay/ as in

eye, or /oy/ as in boy, and the next word starts with a vowel, the words are

linked with the sound /y/.

3. If a word ends in the vowel sounds /uw/ as in you, /ow/ as in show, or /aw/

as in how, and the next word starts with a vowel, the words are linked with

the sound /w/.


a) Asking for Help or a Favor

Can/could you do me a(small/big) favor?

Can/could I ask you for a favor?

Will/can/could you + verb?

Could you give me a hand(with something)?

Can/could you help mewith (something)?

Would you mind verb + -ing?

b) Discussing Lifestyles

2) On the Spot!

What Would You Do? Read the following story from the Washington Post

newspaper. In small groups, discuss the questions that follow.

Husband Sues Wife over Housework

Tokyo—A 33-year-old Japanese woman divorced her husband after he

demanded that every day she cook him breakfast, iron his pants, and clean

the house. The woman worked full-time, but the husband said it was the

wife‘s job to do all the housework.

The husband, a 35-year-old public servant, filed a lawsuit demanding that the

wife pay him about $38,000 because she did not live up to her end of the

marriage arrangement.1

(1She did not do the things that her husband expected her to do.)

If you were the judge in this case, what would you decide? Do you agree

with the wife or the husband? Why?

Compare the situation of Japanese women and women in other countries. Are

women in other countries getting married later? Do some women refuse to

get married? Why?

Why Take Online Classes?

What are the advantages and the disadvantages of taking classes online? These

questions are faced by students deciding to take online classes.

Often students work full or part time jobs while going to college so their time is

valuable. These students want to make the right decisions in choosing classes so

knowing the advantages and disadvantages is important.

One of the best advantages of online classes is flexibility. A student can usually

take the course any time during the day or week. While there are custom essay

writing and researching assignments to complete, the precise time to take the

class often depends on the student's desire. Students who work are able to take

the class based on their schedules. Many students work on their course during the

middle of the night or early in the morning.

Another great advantage of online courses is that almost any type of course can

be found online. Distance learning courses are often available from a number of

colleges. A person can simply use the Google to find a class.

In addition, they often offer accelerated courses, and last but not least is the fact

that they are convenient for the student.

While online courses have advantages, they also have disadvantages. One of the

disadvantages with online courses is they are often more expensive than regular

classes. Is it worth the cost to take the class? This is an individual question that

often depends on the student taking the class.

a) Interrupting Politely

At the beginning of the conversation, Mari enters Jeff‘s room and says, ―Oh, sorry.

Am I interrupting?‖ In many cultures it is impolite to interrupt a person who is

speaking or working. However, most Americans are accustomed to interruptions

and don‘t mind them. Here are some expressions that English speakers use to

interrupt politely.

Expressions for Interrupting Politely

Am I interrupting?

I‘m sorry to interrupt, but...

Can/May I interrupt?

gesture have a different meaning in your culture? Which gesture or gestures do

you use to mean that something is OK or good?

How much personal space do people in your culture typically require? What do

you do if someone steps inside your personal space?

What are the ―rules‖ for making or avoiding eye contact in your culture?

In your culture, what body language do people use when they greet a) people they

know and b) people they don‘t know?

2) Cultural notes

The Tower of Babel: The story takes place after the flood that destroyed all but

Noah and his family. Up until this point in the Bible, the whole world had one

language, meaning one common speech for all people. The people of the earth

had become skilled in construction and decided to build a city with a tower that

would reach to heaven. By building the tower, they wanted to make a name for

themselves and also prevent the people from being scattered. God came to see

their city and the tower they were building. He perceived their intentions, and in

his infinite wisdom, he knew this "stairway to heaven" would only lead the

people away from God. As a result, he confused their language, causing them to

speak many different languages so they would not understand each other. He also

scattered the people of the city all over the face of the earth.


a) Statements with Rising Intonation

b) Classifying and Taking Notes on Classification

Lectures are often organized by classification. That is, the lecture topic is

classified, or divided, into several smaller topics. These smaller topics are called

subtopics. A well-organized lecturer will announce these topics in the

introduction. You should listen for this information because it helps you plan and

organize your notes.

A graphic organizer like the one below can help you organize topics and details.

Use this type of graphic organizer when you‘re taking notes on a lecture about

several topics, or when you‘re organizing your own thoughts or research.


a) Contradicting Politely

To contradict means ―to say the opposite of what someone has just said.‖ For

example:

Mari: Why do Americans say things they don‘t mean? They‘re so ... how do you

say it... two-faced?

Nancy: I know it seems that way sometimes, Mari. But it‘s not true.

In her answer, Nancy contradicts Mari and corrects her wrong idea.

There are polite and impolite ways to contradict people. Here are some common

expressions that are used for this purpose:

Polite

Well, you might think... but actually...

Well, actually...

It‘s true that... but...

It seems... but...

That‘s not completely true.

Impolite/Rude

You‘re wrong.

What are you talking about?

That‘s ridiculous.

American or British English. Check your answers by using an

American-British–British-American dictionary online.

This is then ignited and used to power the transmission which then turns

the wheels, giving the car motion. (Paragraph B)

An electric car produces no emissions. (Paragraph B)

However, electrical batteries have a comparatively low capacity and need

regular recharging. (Paragraph B)

The standard car battery, though, is only required to recharge a small

portion of the components in a gasoline car and is not required to drive the

vehicle. (Paragraph C)

A hybrid car combines electric motors and a gasoline engine to give greater

performance and longer traveling distances than an electric car. (Paragraph

D)

Combing an electric motor and a gasoline engine is not as easy as putting

them both under the hood and letting them do their own thing... (Paragraph

E)

This means that the car will use substantially less gasoline while being

driven under normal circumstances, offering better fuel consumption and

less-damaging emissions pumped into the atmosphere. (Paragraph F)

The electric motor will usually come into play when the car is put under

Confucius, 551 b.c.e. – 479 b.c.e.

Courage Begins with One Voice




Identifying the main idea

Figuring Out Words from Structure Clues

Finding Facts to Support or Disprove General Statements




1) Cultural Notes

a. The Analects or Lunyu, also known as the Analects of Confucius, is the

collection of sayings and ideas attributed to the Chinese philosopher

Confucius and his contemporaries, traditionally believed to have been

written by Confucius‘ followers. By the early Han dynasty the Analects

was considered merely a ―commentary‖ on the Five Classics, but the status

of the Analects grew to be one of the central texts of Confucianism by the

end of that dynasty. The Analects has been one of the most widely read and

studied books in China for the last 2,000 years, and continues to have a

substantial influence on Chinese and East Asian thought and values today.

b. Burning of books and burying of scholars refers to the burning of texts

and slaughter of scholars during the Qin dynasty of Ancient China,

between 213 and 210 BC. The ―burning of books and burying of scholars‖

resulted in some loss to the history of China, and to human knowledge in

general.

c. Shih Huang Ti (259-210 BC), personal name Ying Zheng, was the King

of the state of Qin (246-221 BC) who conquered all other Warring States

and united China in 221 BC. Rather than maintain the title of king borne

by the Shang and Zhou rulers, he ruled as the First Emperor of the Qin

dynasty.

d. The South Asian Coalition on Child Servitude: It is the first civil society

initiative to fight against child slavery and child labor since 1980 in India.

It is proud in liberating over 55,000 children from slavery, which paved the

way for new lives through education, training and rehabilitation.

2) Vocabulary

3) Difficult sentences

1. There was little in his childhood background that predicted the

remarkable prestige that Confucius eventually achieved. (Paragraph B,

Line 7)

2. In addition, he was the first major philosopher to state the Golden Rule,

which he phrased as ―Do not do unto others that which you would not have

them do unto you.‖ (Paragraph C, Line 26)

3. Confucius believed that respect and obedience are owed by children to

their parents, by wives to their husbands, and by subjects to their rulers.
