4. analyse what makes a great musician and explain the reasons;

Key Points and Difficult Points
Key points:
Text Structure Analysis：Learn to identify structures like “flashback”. Practice mapping how an article starts with a key moment, then dives into his life story, and connects back.
Inferential Comprehension：Extract implied ideas. Train to read between lines, a skill vital for analyzing arguments, character motives in novels, or historical document subtexts.
Vocabulary in Context：Grasp academic/descriptive words from context. Learn to decode new terms using surrounding sentences—key for expanding language proficiency and tackling complex texts with unfamiliar vocabulary.
Key Points and Difficult Points
Difficult Points:
Advanced Flashback Recognition：Distinguishing subtle flashback transitions. Struggling to separate “present” narrative anchors from past - tense backstories.
Emotional & Thematic Linking：Connecting Beethoven’s personal struggles to musical themes. Translating life experiences to artistic expression is abstract—hard to apply to analyzing how authors infuse personal trials into themes.
Critical Evaluation of Legacy：Arguing “what makes a great musician” using Beethoven’s example. Requires synthesizing facts into reasoned opinions. Tough for students to move beyond retelling to critical judgment—skills needed for essay writing, debating historical/cultural figures.
