Main idea:

In America many people have a romantic
idea of life in the countryside. Many living in
towns dream of starting up their own farm,
of living off the land. Few get round to
putting their dreams into practice. This is
perhaps just as well, as the life of a farmer is
far from easy, as Jim Doherty discovered
when he set out to combine being a writer
with running a farm. Nevertheless, as he
BACK
explains, he has no regrets and remains
enthusiastic about his decision to change his
way of life.

课文赏析
 在美国,不少人对乡村生活怀有浪漫的情感.许
多居住在城镇的人梦想着自己办个农场,梦想
着靠土地为生.很少有人真去把梦想变为现实.
或许这也没有什么不好,因为,正如吉姆.多尔蒂
当初开始其写作和农场经营双重生涯是所体验
到的那样,农更生活远非轻松自在. 但他写到,
自己并不后悔.对自己作出的改变生活方式的
决定仍热情不减

课文赏析
 Sometimes
there is no transitional
devices between detail sentences,
sometimes there are. The most
frequently used one of which is time
words or phrases. For example, the
detail sentences in para 4 begin with
“three months ago”, “three months
from now”, “recently”, and “later this
month”, respectively. Other
conjunctions scatter the text, like
“first”- “then”- “eventually” in para 7

Text Analysis
The author writes his piece in a clear and
logical way. In many instances he employs
the pattern of “one topic sentence + several
detail sentences” structure
 Sometimes the detail sentences run parallel
to each other, (in para 2). In some other
paragraphs the detail sentences have their
own hierarchy. (in para 5). The first sentence
tells how busy “I” am. The second sentence
states that Sandy, the wife, is also busy. The
final sentence is a kind of summary– nobody
can relax. Yet, following the second sentence
there are a few more detail sentences
showing exactly how tight a schedule Sandy
has.
