《大学英语课程教学要求》(2007)
●大学英语的教学目标是培养学生的英语综合能力，特别
是听说能力。。。使他们。。。能用英语有效地进行交
际，同时增强其自主学习能力，提高综合文化素养。。。
●新的教学模式应体现英语教学实用性、知识性和趣味
性相结合的原则，有利于调动教师和学生两个方面的积
极性，尤其要体现学生在教学过程中的主体地位和教师
在教学过程中的主导作用。
●教学模式改革的目的之一是促进学生个性化学习方法
的形成和学生自主学习能力的发展。

由于交大学生入校时就有较好的英语应用能力，所以我们希

The class is divided into two groups. Each group sends a
representative to the front of the class. The teacher
shows the name of a famous person to the
representatives who then try to describe that person
to their groups and make them guess the name. The
same name is simultaneously shown to both
representatives order to maintain fairness. The
group, which first guesses correctly, gets a point.
Then, the next name is shown and the game goes on.
Sample: Bill Gates

Global Reading Activities
Q-A
(for Part 1) What is Chaplin’s childhood like? Could you figure out
some adjectives to describe it. (e.g. miserable, unfortunate,
sad…/ Why?)
 There is an old English proverb “ Spare the rod, spoil the child.”
To what extent do you agree with it?
 Many people hold the belief that poverty and hardships produce
incentive to achieve something important. How do you view it?
Give some examples.
Q-A
(for Part 2) Why did Chaplin win greater
popularity in other countries than in his own
country, Britain?
Possibly because he left Britain when he was
young and never came back; most figures
he created were not of a gentleman-like
British style.
Q-A (for Part 3)
Give examples to show Chaplin’s deep need to be loved and his fear
of being betrayed.
We can find that from the characters he created, such as the
flower girl and the French wife killer.
What influence did Oona have on Chaplin’s life?

Lifeless objects especially helped Chaplin make

into other kinds of objects. Thus, a broken alarm
clock in the movie The Pawnbroker became a “sick”

film The Gold Rush and their soles

The Hazards of Movie-going
Sample
Structured Writing
Sample
Although I love movies, I’ve found that there are
drawbacks to movie-going. One problem is just
the inconvenience of it all. It can take me long
time to drive to the theater and find a parking
spot. Another problem is my lack of self-control
at the theater. I often stuff myself with unhealthy
calorie-laden snacks for the limited choices. The
worst problem is some of the other movie-goers.
Kids run up and down the aisle. It’s noisy and
messy in the theater. All in all, I would rather
stay home and watch TV comfortably.

As we learned in Book 1, Book2, and Book 3, it is
very important to tell the difference between facts
