Unit 2 Lessons in life
新外研版选择性必修Book 4
Learning objectives
In this class, you will be able to
get to know proverbs and understand the meanings and contexts in which these proverbs are used;
listen for key information and write the proverbs down quickly;
experience the significance of lifelong learning and cultivate an optimistic and upward-looking worldview and values.
What is a proverb
A proverb is a short, pithy saying that expresses a traditionally held truth or piece of advice, based on common sense or experience.
Pre-listening
Meaning: Actions are a better reflection of one’s character because it’s easy to say things, but difficult to act on them and follow through.
Example: Julie always says she’ll donate to the school, and she never does, so I doubt whether she will this year. Actions speak louder than words, after all.
What proverbs do you know
Which one is your favorite
Since apples are rich in vitamin C – which is vital to our health – this proverb means that proper nutrition contributes to good health and fewer visits to the doctor. In this proverb, apples are a symbol of healthy foods and proper nutrition.
An apple a day keeps the doctor away.
Example: Switch from chips to apples for your snack. An apple a day keeps the doctor away.
It is best to always be honest and tell the truth. By doing so, you will win the trust and respect of others.
Example: I think you should just explain what happened, rather than trying to cover your tracks. Honesty is the best policy, after all.
Don’t form an opinion or make a judgment about someone or something based on its outward appearance.
Example: He seems a bit jerk to me, but, hey, you never know. He may be good. You shouldn’t judge a book by its cover.

1 University Fees Are No Barrier to Grandma!

3 Janet Says “Family First! That’s what matters!”
4 How the Students Experience Has Changed with the Centuries
8
Interviewer: Last week Janet Rose graduated from South Omaha University with a degree in American literature. There is nothing unusual about that except that Janet is an 81-year-old grandmother. Yesterday we caught up with Janet and asked her to tell us her story. Good morning, Janet. Why did you wait so long to get a degree
Janet: Ha ha! That's a good question and one that nearly everyone asks me. Well, let me see. I started university back in 1955, but in my first year my mother fell very ill and she couldn't help my father run the family business any more. So I went home to Texas to take care of her and to help my father. After that I never really thought about going back to study.
Interviewer: Why not And what changed your mind
Janet: I thought it was too late. But then five years ago my daughter Candy suggested I go back to school and I jumped at the chance.
Interviewer: How did you feel going back to university after all these years
Janet: I felt a bit nervous at first. I mean, I was surrounded by all these smart young people with their electronic gadgets, and I felt so old. But the students and teachers were kind to me and I soon got used to the classes. They even let me join some of their activities, and I became good friends with some of them. I soon got used to studying, using online resources as well as reading books and articles. It was hard work, but fun.
Interviewer: So, you have just graduated with a degree in American literature. How does it feel
Janet: It feels great. I am trying to live my life to the full. I don't want to sit around at home all day watching daytime TV.
Interviewer: That's fantastic to hear. Janet, do you have any advice for other senior citizens considering going back to university
Janet:I suggest that if you are thinking of going back to school, do it. You'll find that studying again opens up a new world of opportunity to you. And remember, you're never too old to learn.
Interviewer: Thank you for your time, Janet. Finally, what are your plans now
Janet: Oh, didn't I say I'm starting a master's degree in the fall.

Tell a story about yourself that can be summarised by a proverb in this situation.
Before graduation from university, thesis paper was a huge obstacle that troubled me a lot. I was feeling overwhelmed by the prospect of completing 10,000-word paper within a month. At that time, anxiety seized me day and night. So helpless was I that I turned to my tutor for help. She told me that a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step and suggested that I should make a suitable plan. Then, I started by writing 500 words every day. In the end, I made it and the final paper was thought highly of by my tutor. After all, a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.
