1. 学生活动:Group work: Think and share
1 Why does Mark say "They say that phones bring people closer together but in reality, my mind is always a million miles away." Find examples from the text to illustrate how phones drive people further away.
(Because he does not talk to his friends face-to-face when he attends parties or plays sports.
Examples: I obsess over exactly how many followers I have on my account, but I can't remember the birthdays of some of my oldest mates. /His friends spent the dinner bent over their phones, texting friends online but ignoring the ones who sat right in front of them.)
2 How do you understand "We are hard-wired in, but we're more disconnected than ever." Why does Mark say we are more connected than ever
(Mark suggests that young people today have been brought up with social networks and that they are an important part of our lives which we can't live without. However, our addiction to social networks can lead to a loss of friendships or meaningful relationships due to less face-to-face contact in real life.)
2. Decide what text type this piece of writing is. What is its communicative purpose What impresses you the most about Mark's use of language Find examples from the text to support your idea.
(The text type of this piece of writing is a web blog, which uses a mixture of exposition and description. Its purpose is to tell young readers that social networking on the Internet is causing distance and disconnection in real life relationships through the detailed description of Mark's experience and feelings.
Mark's use of language could be:
1) asking rhetorical questions, e.g. "Where am I What am I doing "
2) irony, e.g. most of the words in the second paragraph describe how busy he is but then he ends the paragraph with the truth of being lonely, which is a sharp contrast.
3) using examples to support his ideas, like the dinner get-together to show that friends say nothing in real life.
4) the use of "I" to start a sentence, which is typical of personal blogs.)
