Part I Pre-Reading Task
Script for the recording:
Ways of learning is the topic of this unit. It is also the topic of the song you are about to listen to, called Teach Your Children sung by Crosby, Stills and Nash.
Teach Your Children少年的勇气
Crosby, Stills and Nash
You, who are on the road,
Must nave a code that you can live by.
And so, become yourlr,
Becau the past is just a goodbye.莘莘学子造句
Teach your cbildren well,
Their lather's hell did slowly go by.
And reed them on your dreams,
The one they picks, the one you'll mow by.
Don't you ever ash them why, ir they told you, you will cry, So just look at them and sigh and know they love you.
Appendix I - 93 -
And you, oi tender years,
Can't know the rears that your elders grew by.
Ana so plea help them with your youtb,
They ek the truth before tbey can die.
Teacb your parents well,
Tbeir children's bell will slowly go by.
And reed them on your dreams,
Tbe one tbey picks, tbe one you'll know by.
Don t you ever ask them why, ir tbey told you, you will cry, So just look at them and sigh and know tbey love you.
The first part of die song is about how parents can inspire their children through sharing with them their dreams, their hopes for a better life. It starts with advice on how you need
a t of rules, "a code diat you can live by," to guide you on the road of life. Only then will you be able to fully reali 五年级学情分析all that is within you and "become yourlf." Therefore, parents need to teach their children well.
And children — "you of tender years" — also have something to teach their parents, for learning is not a one-way street. Children should share their own dreams with their parents so that young and old can get to understand each otiier better.
That said, one should not go too far. For some things are perhaps better left unsaid between 仰人鼻息parents and children. "Don't you ever ask them why, if they told you, you will cry." At such moments all that there is left to do is to look at one another and sigh, happy in each otiier's love.
