Structure Analysis: Main idea of section A: this text is a narrative that talks about the author’s personal experience in giving an effective English lesson to his son. He claims that students can learn better if they are properly taught. Part I (Paras. 1-5) This part introduces the background of the story. It presents the thesis statement: Students unfairly bear the bulk of the criticism for these knowledge deficits because there is a sense that they should know better. Part II This part contains two major sections to support the author’s point of view. The first section claims that students should not be blamed for their language deficiency due to two major reasons:1) they are misled by the language environment;2) they are not learning the language adequately and efficiently in school. The second section elaborates the author’s personal opinion about the importance of grammar and vocabulary, by way of metaphors. Para. II (Para. 14-17) Toward the end, the author narrates another incident where his son unconsciously uttered a grammatically perfect sentence with a subjunctive mood and he’s proud of his son. 步骤3 Step 3 语言点Language points Detailed study of the text 1.
