Unit 1
An impressive English lesson
1 If I am the only parent who still corrects his child's English, then perhaps my
son isright. To him, I am a tedious oddity: a father he is obliged to listen to and
aman absorbed in the rules of grammar, which my son seems allergic to.
2 I think I got serious about this only recently when I ran into one of my former
students,fresh from an excursion to Europe. "How was it?" I asked, full of earnest
anticipation.
3 She nodded three or four times, searched the heavens for the right words,
andthen exclaimed, "It was, like, whoa!"
4 And that was it. The civilization of Greece and the glory ofRoman
architecture were captured in a condensed non-statement. My student's
"whoa!"was exceeded only by my head-shaking distress.
5 There are many different stories about the downturn in the proper use of
English. Surelystudents should be able to distinguish between their/there/they're
orthe distinctive difference between complimentary and complementary. They
unfairly bearthe bulk of the criticism for these knowledge deficits because there is
a sense that theyshould know better.
6 Students are not dumb, but they are being misled everywhere they look and
listen. Forexample, signs in grocery stores point them to the stationary, even
though theactual stationery items — pads, albums and notebooks — are not
nailed down. Friendsand loved ones often proclaim they've just ate when, in fact,
they've just eaten. Therefore,it doesn't make any sense to criticize our students.
7 Blame for the scandal of this language deficit should be thrust upon our
schools, whichshould be setting high standards of English language proficiency.
Instead, they only teacha little grammar and even less advanced vocabulary.
Moreover, the younger teachersthemselves evidently have little knowledge of
these vital structures of language becausethey also went without exposure to
them. Schools fail to adequately teach the essentialframework of language,
accurate grammar and proper vocabulary, while they should takethe responsibility
of pushing the young onto the path of competent communication.
8 Since grammar is boring to most of the young students, I think that it must
be handleddelicately, step by step. The chance came when one day I was driving
with my son. As weset out on our trip, he noticed a bird in jerky flight and said, "It's
flying so unsteady." Icarefully asked, "My son, how is the bird flying?" "What's
wrong? Did I say anythingincorrectly?" He got lost. "Great! You said incorrectly
instead of incorrect. We use adverbsto describe verbs. Therefore, it's flying so
unsteadily but not so unsteady."
