Step 1 Revision : Dictation of words and phrases of section B of Unit 4 Step 2 Introduction Preview of unit 5
The patterns of personal relationships are changing across the globe. Traditional families and friendships are giving way to more modern interrelationships. In the following articles, the writers present a range of practices that characterize this period of relational and familial change：living alone, sharing a room with others and arranged marriage. Passage A looks at two contrasting sides of solitude：the American hero or literary giant who choose to be alone and how solitude is seen as promoting both a strong character and creative inspiration and, how individuals feel about and react to loneliness that is not of their own choosing. The second passage discusses the problems that can arise when college students have to share a dormitory with each other. Differences in preferred lifestyles can often lead to irritation and tension and can occasionally explode into violence. Passage C is a personal account of a USA educated Indian woman who, despite having taken on the western value of individualism, still chose to be part of a traditional arranged marriage.

Why are American heroes, poets and philosophers admired for their solitude？ Path of thinking:
What’s your opinion about that？ Summary:
While loneliness is very common in the U.S., few people care to admit to it because it is perceived as some of social disease. It is seen as admirable for American heroes to bravely go alone into the wildness and for poets and philosophers to seek out solitude. Some hunters and
explorers prefer being alone when hunting while some poets and hl is not solitary out of choices, the experience is both less enjoyable and productive. We all need to talk to someone not only about the big things but also about the little day-to-day things. As a consequent, lonely people will talk about the little things to themselves, the cat, the dog and, most embarrassingly, to total strangers. Background Information Henry David Thoreau：

Main idea of the text
The article looks at two contrasting sides of solitude：the American hero or literary giant who chooses to be alone and how solitude is seen as promoting both both a strong character and creative inspiration and, how individuals feel about and react to loneliness that is not of their own choosing.
The reading passage focuses on a social phenomenon—choosing to be alone on purpose. The passage can be broadly divided into four main parts： Main idea of each part
Part I (Para. 1) it tells us that living alone is a common social phenomenon. By recent count, all 22 million people live alone for one reason or another.
Part II (Para. 2) it tells us what people think of living alone.
Part III (Paras 3-10) it mentions3 famous literary giants who choose to be alone and tells us what message we can draw from the people who choose to be alone.
Part IV (Paras 11-16) it is the most important part as the author makes his comments on living alone.
Step 3 Explanation Study of the text
1. here we are, all by ourselves, all 22 million of us by recent count, alone in our rooms, some of
us liking it that way and some of us not. （Para. 1）
Meaning: We are here, living all alone—according to recent statistics up to 22 million of us are living alone in our rooms; some like the solitary way of life and some do not like it. By count：by calculating the number of units in a group. e.g. by our count that is the fifth cake you have eaten. 我们数了一下，这是你吃的第五块蛋糕。
2．Loneliness may be a sort of national disease here, and it is more embarrassing fir us to admit than any other sin.（Para 2）
Meaning: to feel unhappy when being alone may be a kind of typical American bad habit and Americans feel more embarrassed to admit having this bad habit than any other sin.
3. On the other hand, to be alone on purpose, having rejected company rather than been cast out by it, os one characteristic of an American hero. （para 2）
Meaning: on ther hand, the deliberate choice of solitude by refusing companions instead of being excluded by others is one special quality of American hero.

Identifying the Writer’s Purpose (Ⅱ)
In the last unit we can see paragraph information often appears in patterns that can be recognized or analyzed. Paragraph ideas and information are put together so that we can see them related to each other in certain patterns. This kind of skills is important for us to get a better understanding of the passage we read but also it is curial for us to make sensible or reasonable predictions as to what is to follow next.
In this unit we would have more practice recognizing and analyzing paragraph patterns, especially the patterns that we did not cover in our last unit. New words
