Presentation transcript:

Far East Book 1, Lesson 7 Discussion topics

G 1  The title is “ Adding Some Color to Your Life. ” What would you expect to read in the text? (prediction tree) Does the first paragraph match what you expected? Why?  In line 4-5, the author says “ It plays an important role in our lives. ” Is this a conclusion? What ’ s the reason? Can we say something plays an important role in our lives simply because it ’ s everywhere around us?

G2  In Line 6, why does the author say “ for example ” ? What fact is the author trying to prove? Is it successful? Why?  In Line 8, the author says “ yellow is the color of the emperor in China. ” Is it true? Why? What do you think of when you think of yellow?

G2 (2)  In Line 10-12, the author says “ red suggests the wish for good things to happen; it ’ s used for Chinese New Year and other celebrations. ” Are these still true? What do you usually do with the color red?  In Line 14, the author says “ red is the color for Valentine ’ s Day. ” Does it match your experiences? Why?  In Line 18-19, why would Westerners never wear white to a funeral? Make a guess.

G3  Do you believe that we can even use color to change our feelings or attitudes (Line 23-24)? Why?  In Line 25-34, the author talks about some power given by colors. Try to give examples to support what the author says or to nullify them.

G4  In Line 38, why does the author ask us to give them a try? Will you really do so? Why?  In the end, the author says “ at least they will make your life more colorful. ” Why does the author say so? Is this a good conclusion of this article? Why?

G4 (2)  Life is invisible. How can our life be “ colorful ” ? Please state your suggestions and reasons.  Can you think of a better title for this article? What is it?

G5  The title is “ Breaking the Fashion Rules. ” What would you expect to read in the text? Does the first paragraph match what you expected? Why?  Please draw a prediction tree.  What information is given in the 1 st paragraph? Why is it important?

G6  What kind of party is the card about? Why didn ’ t the card say what to wear?  What information does the sentence “… her closet, which took up an entire wall of her bedroom ” give you? Why is it important?

G6 (2)  What decision did Lucy finally make? What do you usually do when you are at a loss? Would you do the same thing in her case?  Do you think it ’ s possible for Lucy to go like that? Why?

G7  Lucy was wrong with her clothes. What are some of the reasons that made her make such a big mistake?  What kind of party would it be like? Can you imagine it? What is it for?

G7 (2)  After reading the article, do you think the title matches its content? Why? What does “ the fashion rules ” mean?  Which article do you like better? The text or the handout? Why? Which article do you learn more from? Why?
