3 Guided writing 1 The Structure of a Paragraph
A paragraph is a group of related sentences developing one central idea, or expressing one unit of thought. It is a unit in itself and is also part of the larger whole―the essay.
A paragraph should be unified(统一的), coherent (连贯的)and well developed. It is unified when it has a single focus. It is coherent when all the sentences in it are related and lead logically to one another, and the choice is based on the content of the paragraph and the intention of the writer.

Unit One Section B Key to Successful Online Learning
1. Reading skill
1. Introduction:
Hello, everyone. We’ve come to Section B.
The section deals with Reading Skills. In this section, we will introduce the important reading skills one by one. You should take care to read the explanation of each specific skill, which has been written in clear -to-understand language. And we’ll use Reading Passages B and C to let you see each skill applied to a particular passage.
The particular reading skill introduced in this unit will help you to find word meanings through many different ways. In the text we list as many as 9 different ways of finding out a word’s meaning which you may not be familiar with.
2. Finding out Word Meaning
1)Some sentences set off(mark off) the definition for a difficult word by using punctuation(标点符号). Example: The period of adolescence, the period between childhood and adulthood, may be long or short,
depending on the social and on society’s definition.
2)Sometimes helping words, along with punctuation, provide important clues. Example: Still other people are not avoiding work; strictly speaking, they are slowly-------- delaying their work.
3)Some sentences tell the opposite of what a new word means. From its opposite, you can figure out the meaning of the word. Example
If we desire to get rid of the slovenliness of our English we can think carefully and clearly before expressing ourselves in it.
4)Sometimes you can use your own experiences to figure out the definition of a word. Example
They were puzzled to see that the tractor(拖拉机) was followed by about 200,000 women in a parading procession that took more than three hours to snake through central Rome. Explanation
According to your own experience, “snake”means “move in a long winding line through central Rome(像蛇那样蜿蜒前进)
5)Sentences before or after a sentence that has a difficult word sometimes explain the meaning of the word.
Example
I had a kind and patient teacher who often praised all of the students. Because of this positive method, I eagerly answered all the questions I could, …
6)Some sentences are written just to give the definitions of the difficult words―words that readers will need to know in order to understand what they are reading.
Example
8
…that I could communicate with many more people than before. Talking with people is one of my favorite activities.
7)Because some sentences give examples for a new word, you can build a definition. Example
Today young couples who are just starting their households often spend lots of their money on appliances, for instance, washing machines, refrigerators and color televisions.
8)Some sentences use a word you do know to help explain a word you do not know. Example
The medical use of some drugs should be carefully regulated by doctors because they are addictive or habit-forming.
9)Word part clues―stems(词干) and affixes(词缀) also help to find out word meaning. Example
With many factors unforeseeable, there is no reason for us to show a sweeping optimism about our plan. 3. Text Reading 1)expand(L.2)
