Step 4  Analysis of the structure of the text
T: Now read the passage again. Try to find the topic sentences in five minutes. (After a while.)
Paragraph 1
T: Can you find a topic sentence in Paragraph 1.
Ss: No.
T: Can you find the words indicating the times? Read them out.

Ss: Yes.
T: Is it used to support the first sentence?
Ss: No.
T: Actually it is used to support the sentence--- However, they may not be able to understand everything. Generally speaking, the sentence beginning with such words--- however, but ---after a statement is what the writer intends to give emphasis on. Thus, it is often the key sentences. So why can’t they understand each other?
Ss: World English are different from each other in some ways.

Now let’s see the structure of the passage. ( show on the screen.)
 
A Brief History Of English：

     ① AD 450--1150  ② 1150--1500  ③ 600’s
 P4 English is also spoken in many other countries.

T: why did the writer decide to end the passage with a question? According to the passage, languages change when cultures communicate with one another. So the writer intended to predict a possible road to modern English, that is, when Chinese culture communicate with English culture, English may change, too. So as time goes by, Chinese English may become one of the world English. That is what the writer intended to tell us about in this passage. So the writer gave it the title--- The Road To Modern English. When we want to write something, we should follow the following way:

1. First, decide what to write on the topic. ( the brief history of English)
2. Then, develop four ideas from the topic.
3. Next, give some figures or examples to develop and support the ideas.
4. A good article needs a good start, a good closing and a proper title.
(1). Start the passage in a way directly related to the topic. （ 开门见山）
(2). End the passage with a question and a saying. ( Only time will tell)
(3). A proper title. (The Road To Modern English)

When we read a passage we can grasp the main idea and the writer’s intention in a similar way, too.
