Hello, everyone!
Welcome to our class.
Last time we had a detailed analysis
of the first part of the text.
Now
let's go on with the body part of the text.
From the general analysis of the text,
we know that the body part of the text
is about the key changes in college years
which include the following:
The body part of this text is about
the seven key changes during college years.
Next we'll analyze the seven key changes
one by one,
emphasizing the important language points.
Before analyzing the first key change
identity crisis,
here
I have two questions for college students.
My first question is
My second question is
It is easy to find answers
to the two questions
in the second paragraph.
Students endeavor to find out
who they are and what their strong points
and weak points are.
They want to know
how other people perceive themselves
as well as how other people perceive them.
Our identity may be influenced by
genes, environment and opportunities.
The author uses topic sentence,
definition and citation
to analyze identity crisis.
The topic sentence is the first sentence
in this paragraph,
Which is
According to Piers and Landau,
who we are is determined by three factors:
Identity crisis refers to the difficulties,
confusions and anxieties
that college students go through
during adolescence
when they are not sure who they are
and what their purpose in life is.
Next we'll discuss the second key change
the dependence/independence struggle
in paragraph 3 and 4.
Are college students totally
independent from the parents?
The answer is certainly "no".
They may become financially dependent
upon their parents
in pursuing a college education.
But they have chosen to grow and learn
how to be independent.
In paragraph 3,
an important point
is the different prepositions used after
"dependent" and "independent":
we say "to be independent from
or to be independent ofˇ±,
but we say "to be dependent on".
For example:
Another example:
In paragraph 4,
Jeffery A. Hoffman observed four
aspects to independence.
What are they?
They are:
The first one is
It means that
The second is
It means that
The third is
It means that
The fourth is
It means that
In paragraph 4,
one important point is the different
prepositions used after freedom or free.
For example:
Another example:
For example:
Another example:
The difference between "freedom of"
and "freedom from"can be easily found
in the speech by Franklin D. Roosevelt
which is
OK. That's all for the first two key changes
in the body part.
Next time we'll go on analyzing
the rest of the key changes in this part.
