I think it is true to saying that, in general, language teachers (1)________ have paid little attention to the way sentences are used in combination
to form stretches of disconnected discourse. They have tended to take (2)_________ their cue from the grammarian and have concentrated to the teaching (3)________ of sentences as self-contained units. It is true that these are often represented in ―contexts‖ and strung together in dialogues and
reading passages, but these are essentially setting to make the (4)_________ formal properties of the sentences stand out more clearly, properties
which are then established in the learner‘s brain by means of practice (5)_________ drill and exercises. Basically, the language teaching unit is the (6)__________ sentence as a formal linguistic object. The language teachers‘ view of
what that constitutes knowledge of a language is essentially the same (7)__________ as Chomsky‘s knowledge of a syntactic structure of sentences, (8)___________ and of the transformational relations which hold them. Sentences are seen as paradigmatically rather than syntagmatically related. Such a knowledge ―provides the basis for the actual use of language
By the speaker-hearer‖. The assumption that the language appears to (9)___________ make is that once this basis is provided, then the learner will have no
difficulty in the dealing with the actual use of language. (10)__________
Man has woefully misused the earth‘s natural resources Down through the ages. This has been done largely through his Ignoring of the consequences. But in the process he has succeeded
in laying wasteful vast expanses of forests and croplands. If our extending
population is not to suffer from shortages and pollution in the future, (1)________ a great effort must be made to repair some of the damages already
done and to stop more harm from done. A few people throughout (2)_________ the world are becoming less aware of out past mistakes (3)_________ and are striving to halt this destruction and to revert to the use of
methods from which will give us full use (4)_________ of our resources without destroying them. The job may be a long (5)_________ one, require much study and practice. (6)_________ The most important thing that those of us who live in towns or
Cities can do is to take interest in those problems and find (7)__________ Out what is going on around us. Because much of the land (8)_________ We see is covered up with sidewalks, streets, and building, (9)_________ This does not mean we are not directly
Effected by what happens to the water, and atmosphere (10)_________ Of our country.
