Lesson OneFace to Face with Hurricane Camille. 1. We re 23 feet above sea level.2. The house has been here since 1915, and no hurricane has ever caused any damage to it.3. We can make the necessary preparations and survive the hurricane without much damage.4. Water got into the generator and put it out. It stopped producing electricity, so the lights also went out.5. Everybody go out through the back door and run to the cars.6. The electrical systems in the car had been put out by water.7. As John watched the water inch its way up the steps, he felt a strong sense of guilt because he blamed himself for endangering the whole family by deciding not to flee inland.8. oh God, please help us to get through this storm safely.9. Grandmother Koshak sang a few words alone and then her voice gradually grew dimmer and stopped.10. Janis displayed rather late the exhaustion brought about by the nervous tension caused by the hurricane.Lesson TwoIV. 1. The buring-ground is nothing more than a huge piece of wasteland full of mounds of earth looking like a deserted and abandoned piece of land on which a building was going to be put up.2. All the imperialists build up their empires by treating the people in the colonies like animals (by not treating the people in the colonies as human beings).3. They are born. Then for a few years they work, toil and starve. Finally they die and are buried in graves without a name.4. Sitting with his legs crossed and using a very old-fashioned lathe, a carpenter quickly gives a round shape to the chair-legs he is making.5. Immediately from their dark hole-like cells everywhere a great number of Jews rushed out wildly excited.6. Every one of these poor Jews looked on the cigarette as a piece of luxury which they could not possibly afford.7. However, a white-skinned European is always quite noticeable.8. If you take a look at the natural scenery in a tropical region, you see everything but the human beings.9. No one would think of organizing cheap trips for the tourists to visit the poor slum areas (for these trips 42V. would not be interesting)10life is very hard for ninety percent of the peopleWith hard backbreaking toil they can produce a little food on the poor soil11She took it for granted that as an old woman she was the lowest in the community，that。she was only fit for doing heavy work like an animal12People with brown skins are almost invisible13The Senegales soldiers were wearing ready-made khaki uniforms which hid their beautiful well-built bodies14How much longer before they turn their guns around and attack us?。15Every white man，the onlookers，the officers on their horses and the white NCOsmarching with the black soldiers，had this thought hidden somewhere or other in his mindLesson Three Pub Talk and the Kings English1And conversation is an activity which is found only among human beings(Animals and birds are not capable of conversation)2Conversation is not for persuading others to accept our idea or point of view 3 In fact a person who really enjoys and is skilled at conversation will not argue to win or force others to accept his point of view4People who meet each other for a drink in the bar of a pub are not intimate friends for they are not deeply absorbed or engrossed in each others lives5 The conversation could go on without anybody knowing who was right or wrong6 These animals are called cattle when they are alive and feeding in the fields；but when we sit down at the table to eatwe call their meat beef7 The new ruling class by using French instead of English made it difficult for the English to accept or absorb the culture of the、rulers8The English language received proper recognition and was used by the King once more9 The phrase，the Kings English，has always been used disrespectfully and jokingly by the lower classes The working people very often make fun of the proper and formal language of the educated people10 There still exists in the working people，as in the early Saxon peasants，a spirit of opposition to the cultural authority of the ruling class11 There is always a great danger that we might forget that words are only symbols and take them for things they are supposed to representFor example，the word “dog“ is a symbol representing a kind of animalWe mustnt regard the word “dog“ as being the animal itself12 Even the most educated and literate people do not use standard，formal English all the time in their conversationLesson Four Inaugural AddressIV. 1. Our ancestors fought a revolutionary war to maintain that all men were created equal and God had given them certain unalienable rights which no state or ruler could take away from them. But today this issue has not yet been decided in many countries around the world.2. This much we promise to do and we promise to do more.3. United and working together we can accomplish a lot of things in a great number of joint undertakings.4. We will not allow any enemy country
