2. 有些长句在语篇中与上下文存在较为紧密的衔接连贯关系,尤其是句中有指代词的时候,除了需要厘清句子的结构层次和语义逻辑之外,有时还需要结合句子所在的上下文,分析明确长句中指代词的具体所指。

Activity 1: Before you watch
A Teen's Passion for His Work
Photography is a popular hobby today, and has become easier as technology has improved.
However, it takes a great deal of patience and hard work to become a successful photographer. This video shows how passion and enthusiasm helped a young man succeed in bringing his work to an international audience.
Task 1 Look at the picture and the introduction. Know something about photography.
Task 2 Look at the pictures from the video below. In groups, use the following words and any other words you can think of to describe what is happening in the photos.
grass camera hide wait well-disguised
edit a photograph give a presentation smart clothes fame
Suggested Answers
The boy is hiding and waiting in a well-disguised tent in the tall grass with his camera so that he can take photographs of wild animals.
Now he is editing the photo with his computer.
Here, he is wearing smart clothes and standing next to one of his photos, giving a presentation.
There are many people watching his presentation. He is famous!
Activity 2: While you watch
Task 1 Check your responses to Before You Watch.
Task 2 Decide if the following statements are true (T) or false (F).
1. The tent and long grass stop the birds from seeing Mateusz.
2. The Natural History Museum in New York recognised his talent with the award Best Young Wildlife Photographer.
3. He took his award-winning photograph of oyster catchers on a beach in London.
4. Mateusz takes up to 1,000 photographs in each session.
5. His parents buy meat for him because he gets hungry while taking photographs.
Answers: 1.T 2.F 3.F 4.T 5.F
Activity 3: After you watch
Discuss the following questions in groups.
1. Mateusz loves wildlife photography. Which is your favourite type of photography and why?
2. Why do you think Mateusz has been so successful at such a young age? List three reasons. How could you apply these to yourself to achieve your own goals and dreams?
Suggested Answers
1. I love travel photography because I am interested in different places and cultures.
2. Three reasons: he works hard and is willing to endure hardship for his photography; he has great patience and is willing to wait a long time to get the best shot; he has developed the technical skills needed to succeed.
For me, the biggest lessons are the willingness to endure hardship and his patience. Often, I don't like to put myself through difficulty and I like to take the easy way, and I hate waiting!
However, in order to achieve my dreams, I will have to become more patient, and I will have to push myself to do better, even when it is not easy.
