How many languages does the writer probably speak?The

11、writer probably speaks three languages: Baras, Indonesian, and English.

15、 opportunity for cultural diversity. In China, for example, increased participation in global trade not only boosted the economy; it also allowed the Chinese to spread their culture around the world, whether through Peking operas or traditional festivals or food. Meanwhile, the influence brought by

16、the introduction of foreign cultures has increased awareness of Chinese peoples cultural identity, stimulating citizens to defend, preserve, and restore the cultural features they care about the most.IV.

RevisionThe topic of

19、 this unit is “Progress?”. Try to explain what the question mark implies based on your understanding of the reading passage.Answers may vary.(For reference) The question mark is intended to set us thinking whether globalization leads to progress in human society or not. In the reading passage, after

20、 illustrating how globalization has made people from different parts of the world start to live similar lives, the writer further expresses his concern about the negative impact of globalization on regional languages and cultures. It seems to the writer that globalization is robbing the world of its

21、 diversity, which is obviously bad for the human race.II. Deep readingHow does the writer make his argument in the passage? Complete the table. Pay attention to the words in bold.Sentences in the passageMy explanationWriting StrategiesIn October 2011, the seven billionth baby was born, and experts p

22、redict that there will be ten billion of us before the end of this century.Guiding question: Why does the writer mention these figures?These figures make it easier for readers to understand the alarming rate of increase, and make the writers argument stronger.Statistics(1) If you said “hello” to a d

23、ifferent person every second, it would take you 222 years to greet everyone on the planet.Guiding question: Why does the writer mention the imagined situation?The writer mentions the imagined situation to make it easier for the readers to understand how big the population is. 222 years is a length o

24、f time that we can easily form a picture of in our mind. It is something we can relate to.Imagined situation(2) In the past, travellers from Europe to Indonesia spent months at sea. Now you just have to sit on a plane for a few hours.Guiding question: What is the writers purpose of contrasting trave

25、l in the past with that in modern times?The writer uses contrast here to show that the planet seems to be getting smaller as a result of the development of faster transportation. It also shows how advances in technology have made travel more convenient so that people from different parts of the worl

26、d are becoming more connected than ever before.Contrast(3) I grew up in a small village where everyone spoke Baras, one of Indonesias local languages. The only regular Baras speakers at present are the older people who have stayed in the country,.Guiding question: What does the writer imply about th

27、e Baras language?The writer implies that Baras is dying because fewer young people are speaking it at present and it is the older generations who are regularly speaking the language in his small village. Thats because globalization causes people to migrate and the migrants usually learn the common l

28、anguage and give up using their own languages.This is an example to show how globalization can cause problems for local languages.Illustration(4) Where will it stop? Will there be a time in the future when Earths billions all speak just one language, and there are no cultural differences to divide u

29、s?Guiding question: What is the writers purpose for raising these questions?The two questions show that the writer is worried about language dying and cultural differences disappearing. The writer asks these questions to attract readers attention and encourage them to think about the issue themselve

30、s.Rhetorical questionsIII. Mini-projectRefer to your own experience and conduct an interview on the topic “How has globalization changed our lives?” Explain the change(s) in the following one or two aspects and give your opinion on such change(s).l foodl local languagel festivalsl clothingl entertai

The city is filled with bakeries, cafe

32、s and international fast food chains.I personally welcome this change. Because globalization has made it easier for consumers to enjoy a rich variety of meal options. By having a taste of the traditional food in other countries, we can also get to know their cultures and customs without going abroad

33、. In short, globalization not only enriches our diets but also promotes cultural exchange.Globalization has brought change to transport .My opinion on such changeIn the pastTodayIn the 1970s, city dwellers in China mainly travelled by bicycle or by bus, though owning a bicycle was still considered a

34、 luxury by many Chinese people. Cars have become a popular means of transport in China. It is reported that every 100 Chinese households own 37.1 cars in 2020. In addition to driving a car, people can also choose to take the underground or ride a bicycle.Globalization has greatly promoted economic d

35、evelopment in China and global competition has also helped bring down prices of many goods. Therefore, more and more ordinary Chinese families can afford private cars. Besides, globalization has also strengthened international exchange and cooperation in the field of science and technology. Developi

36、ng countries, including China, are able to benefit from current technology with fewer barriers. The construction of underground railways and high-speed railways has made it easier and safer for us to travel. In short, I believe the change brought by globalization has helped make our lives better.(Fo

114、some students in Wales have to learn Welsh?From the video, because _.(students answer for reference)-Every child under the age of sixteen is required to study Welsh in school.-All the subjects, except English and French, are taught in Welsh in some schools like Glantaf School.-Students would probabl

115、y never speak the language if they didnt study Welsh at school.From your perspective, _.(students answer for reference)From my perspective, some students in Wales are required to learn Welsh because people who live there are afraid of losing their own language and they want to protect their language

116、 as well as their culture. So, perhaps the best way to preserve Welsh is to ask students even small children to learn the language.III. Group discussion.Share your opinions on the statement of Putonghua should be used more than local dialects. You should support your opinions with proper reasons.(st

117、udents answer for reference)I agree that Putonghua should be used more than local dialects. Putonghua is the only official language in China. It enables people from different provinces to understand and communicate with each other more easily. If people dont speak such a common language, it will be

118、difficult for them to find a job in big cities. So, Putonghua should be used more than local dialects for information exchange nationwide.I dont think that Putonghua should be used more than local dialects. Local dialects carry and preserve local cultures. Maintaining high standards of Putonghua may

119、 pose a threat to some local dialects and cultures. People should be encouraged to use dialects more than Putonghua in their daily life, such as in TV and radio programs. Otherwise, some local dialects may disappear.IV. InteractionIf you lived in Wales, would you speak English or Welshor both? Why?(

120、students answer for reference)If I lived in Wales, I would speak both English and Welsh. Here are my reasons. On one hand, English as a global language is so widely used all over the world that I cant neglect it. English will help me to communicate and make friends with people from other countries.

121、On the other hand, I think I have no choice but to learn Welsh, especially in some schools like Glantaf School, where students are required to learn Welsh. And a lot of local people there speak Welsh, so it is easy to communicate with them if I speak Welsh. Furthermore, I know there are many unique,

122、 small languages that risk becoming extinct in the years to come. Therefore, if I lived in Wales, I would be afraid of losing Welsh. Language is a kind of personal identity, so it is very important to remember who we are and where we come from. If we younger generation couldnt carry on speaking Wels

123、h, it would disappear in the future. So, if I lived in Wales, I would choose to speak both English and Welsh for the purpose of communicating with people around the world as well as preserving the language of my own.IV. Assignments1.
