英文第五冊第六課課文解說

☆教學目標
1. 本課首先介紹讀書計畫的定義及其效用，然後以實例說明在申請學校時，應如何撰寫讀書計畫以呈現申請者的就讀意願。其中點出學生應如何將在校表現、興趣嗜好與所申請的科系加以連結，從而讓申請的校系注意到該學生的申請案件。經由此課，學生也可學習如何規劃生涯方向及表達個人未來志向。
2. 學習並活用本課兩大句型 + + wh¬ + + ....及從屬連接詞Subordinating Conjunctions的用法。
3. 藉由對話教導學生參加推甄或申請入學面試時所應注意的事項。
☆本課導讀
隨著多元入學方案的實施，目前在臺灣的高中、高職學生在畢業後的升學管道也隨之多元化。除了參加傳統入學考試，依分數高低分發進入各校就讀外，也可依個人意願向大專校院提出申請，或經由就讀學校推薦的方式通過大學審查，達成上大學的目標。本課以實際例子解說若學生想採用申請或推甄的方式進入大學，申請者應如何撰寫讀書計畫來使評審委員了解自己想就讀該系所的原因與目標。
教師在講解課文的過程中，除了向學生做文字說明及句法闡釋外，若時間許可，可以對撰寫讀書計畫的通則加以整理說明：
1. 應該明確指出個人對申請科系課程的意願。
2. 應該敘述所申請科系課程與個人興趣的關聯性，並說明所申請科系課程為何有助於個人的生涯規劃。
3. 應該提供明確的個人資訊，避免落入空泛敘述。
4. 適時藉著細節舉例描述，說明自己的能力、個性及在校的表現成果，以加強讀書計畫的說服力。
5. 應該請撰寫推薦函的師長過目自己的讀書計畫，並請他們提出建言。
6. 務必確認文法與拼字的正確性。

Warm-up
本課課前活動是經由申請入學步驟的排序，幫助學生了解申請入學的基本流程。在活動進行前，教師可先解釋何謂讀書計畫及強調讀書計畫、履歷表對入學申請及面試的重要性。除此之外，教師也可先帶領學生閱讀活動中的英文敘述，以確保學生了解英文句子中的專有名詞。
此活動的目的不全然是為了得到全班一致的標準答案，重點應放在如何激勵學生自行去了解申請大學的相關準備事項，並確實執行每一個申請環節。



Redaing

讀書計畫(SOP)即是一篇陳述個人為何有意就讀某大學系所的短篇論文。由於許多大專院校都要求在申請入學時附上一份讀書計畫，所以最好儘早準備。
1. ... a short essay about yourself [that explains why you want to study...].
(1) ...a short essay about yourself that explains....


(2) ...explains why you want to study....
此為 + + wh¬ + + ....的間接問句句型。詳細用法請參見本課句型解析一。
2. Since an SOP is required in applications to many colleges and universities, ...prepare one early on .
(1) since為從屬連接詞，引導表原因的從屬子句，意思為「因為，即然」，可和because或as代換。關於從屬連接詞的詳細用法，請參見本課句型解析二。
(2) one是指上面提到的SOP。
(3) early on表示「在早期的時候」。在此強調在申請大學的流程初期最好儘早準備。例：
‧Jessie decided early on that she would not
marry Joe.

一篇好的讀書計畫應明確指出你對於選擇的課程所設定的目標。它也應該包括這課程與你的興趣有什麼關聯性，以及為何該課程有助於你未來的職場生涯。為了要說服閱讀者，你的讀書計畫應提供關於個人的特殊資訊。舉例來說，如果你想攻讀電腦科學，要避免空泛的敘述像是「我喜歡使用電腦」。相反地，應試著提出更具體的資訊。
1. ...point out the goals [you have for your chosen program].
(1) you have for your chosen program為省略受格that的關係子句，修飾先行詞the goals。
(2)chosen為分詞作形容詞的用法，修飾program。
2. It should also include [how the program is connected to your interests and why...].
(1) 此為 + + wh¬ + + ....句型。詳細用法請參見本課句型解析一。
(2) be connected to = be related to，表示「有關聯」。例：
‧Terry's memory loss is connected/related
to his brain tumor.
3. To persuade the people reading it ....
(1) To persuade為不定詞開頭的句子，表目的，可代換為In order to persuade....。
(2) ...the people reading it....
→ ...the people who read it....。
此為限定關係子句省略而來的分詞片語用法。
4. ...if you want..., avoid general statements....
此為假設法的真實條件句，表假設情況有可能發生，故句子用直說法

比較適當的例子如下所示：「我喜歡網頁設計，也曾為學校的電腦課設計圖解說明，因而在校內獲獎。為了將來有一天能夠在電腦業工作，我想加強這方面的技能。」這敘述同時包含了動機以及成就，同時也暗示著申請者會是學系中優秀的成員，因為他/她曾對學校有所貢獻這概念是經由特定的事實暗示的，而不是經由籠統的空泛敘述如「我是個有團隊精神的人」。
1. the following為名詞，可表示「下列的人/事/物」。例：
‧The following is an idea come up with by
Nick.
‧Please make sure you bring the following:
a swimsuit, goggles and a towel.
2. ... won an award at school for designing....
3. industry在此為「產業」之意，例如：movie industry (電影業)、tourist industry (觀光業)和fishing industry (漁業)等。例：
‧My dad works in the fishing industry and goes
sea¬fishing once a month.
4. What this statement includes is ....
複合關係代名詞what可代換為the thing(s) that，後面需接單數動詞is。
5. It also suggests that...this idea is implied in specific facts instead of ...“I am a team player.”
(1 )suggest在此表示「暗示」，意思相當於imply。例：
‧Ms. Lin's angry reaction suggests/implies
that Jim's mistake is serious.
(2) 此句的instead of可用rather than替換，表示「而不是…」。例：
‧Maggie will visit the United States during
her vacation instead of/rather than Japan.
(3) team player表示「在團隊中可與人和諧相處的人」，此外，team spirit為「團隊精神」、teamwork為「團隊工作」。

當申請者著手撰寫讀書計畫時，他/她可以藉由增加描寫能力以及個性的細節，以強化讀書計畫的說服力。例如：「我精通數學以及數學在電腦上的應用」(這意味著你是位能幹的學生)以及「我是籃球校隊的一員，也協助管理學校的戲劇社」(這意味著你很合群，而且也有能力妥善處理事情)。
1. When an applicant is working on ... make it even stronger by adding extra....
(1)work on表示「致力，從事」。例：
‧The engineers of this computer company are
now working on new anti¬virus software.
(2)makeiteven stronger

(3) by表「藉著」，後接動名詞或名詞，表執行的方法或手段。
2. ...I am good at math and its application to....
(1) be good at sth表示「擅長於…」。例：
‧My elder brother is good at website design
and now works for a computer company.
(2)application表示「應用」。例：
‧The study is about the applications of
computer to our daily lives.
3. run表示「經營，運作」。例：
‧Ms. Jones has been running the restaurant
on her own for years.


你的讀書計畫是你跟你未來就讀學校的第一次交流，因此你應該誠實並妥善準備，以在面試時談論更多關於你所寫的事。此外，你也應請幫你寫推薦函的師長過目你所撰寫的讀書計畫，並給予你一些建言。最後但並非最不重要的是，務必要確定文法與拼字都正確！
1. ...the first communication between you and your future place of study.
communication between A and B表示「A與B之間的溝通交流」。例：
‧The school works hard on establishing direct
communication between teachers and parents.
2. ... be prepared to talk more about....
be prepared to do sth表示「準備好做某事」。例：
‧We are prepared to meet the
challenge.
3. You should also have the teachers who will write... read your SOP and give you their advice.
(1) ...have the teachers...read your SOP and give you....

(2)...give you their advice.



以下是一篇讀書計畫的範例：
我的名字是王佩玲，為臺北三民高職的高三生。我期望進入貴校就讀企管學士學位。我相信貴校課程能夠讓我發展專業技能，並對於我將來的深造及職業生涯都有所助益。
1. bachelor's degree是「學士學位」，master's degree是「碩士學位」，而Doctor of Philosophy則是「博士學位」。

我的興趣廣泛，但我對語言、電腦科學以及管理特別有興趣。在一次創業者競賽中，我因一份創業企劃而獲得首獎。我的企劃與協助學校設立回收計畫有關；這項計畫不僅有助於環境保護，而且還能幫助學校運動校隊籌募經費。…
1. I have a wide range of interests, but I am particularly interested in ....
(1) a wide range of表示「廣泛的」，後接複數名詞。例：
‧The store has a wide range of digital
cameras, and you can find some in your
price range.
(2 ) be interested in表示「對…有興趣」，可代換為have/take an interest in。
2. In a contest for entrepreneurs, I won first place for ....
(1) a contest for...表示「為…而辦的競賽」。
(2) first place為「第一名」，之後for表原因。
3. environmentally friendly也可寫成environment friendly或eco¬friendly，表示「不破壞生態環境的，助於環保的」。


…此外，去年我獲得學校英語演講比賽第三名，並且協助學校英語會話社的社務運作。我正考慮未來從事行銷業，並期望能夠將我的技能應用在這個領域上。
4. I am considering working in...this field .

‧Lynn is considering moving to the countryside.
(2)field為「領域」之意。例：
‧Computer is not my field of study, so I cannot
help you with your computer problems.

貴校所提供的企業管理課程將能幫助我增進行銷業所需的管理技能及商業知識，以在這個領域成功。在獲得學士學位後，我也考慮繼續攻讀行銷的碩士學位或者是企業管理碩士學位。因此，企業管理的學士學位是最理想的敲門磚。
1. The Business Administration course offered by your school... succeed in the marketing industry.
(1) ...courseoffered by....

(2) succeed in + N/V¬ing表示「在…上成功」。例：

Conversation

一位名為凱洛的學生即將參加大學入學面試。她正請教學校的林老師有關如何準備面試及如何留下良好第一印象的建議。(C = 凱洛，L = 林老師)
C: 不好意思，林老師，我下禮拜一要參加大學的入學面試。能不能請老師指點我如何留下良好第一印象的秘訣呢？
L: 當然，首先妳必需穿著正式服裝，並且禮貌地向教授打招呼。然後，回答所提問的問題時，聲音務必清晰並且要注視向妳提問的人。
C: 有沒有辦法可以幫助我預先準備可能會被問到的問題呢？

L: 在出發參加面試前，妳要再仔細複習妳的讀書計畫，並且練習如何回答教授可能會提問的問題。妳也可以請朋友或家人問妳一些問題。
C: 我想我都可以做得到。
L: 除此之外，妳也應該查詢有關這所大學的一些資訊。這有利妳解釋為何選擇該所大學以及為何妳會適合在那裡就讀。
C: 還有其他我應該做的事嗎？
L: 妳可以想一些有關妳有興趣的這個課程的問題，因為教授在面試結尾時，可能會問妳是否有任何問題要提問。
C: 我怕到時我會表現得非常緊張。關於這點您有任何建議嗎？
L: 這妳倒不用擔心，因為大部分的人在面試之前及參加面試當時都會感到緊張。妳只要遵循2P原則，就不會那麼緊張，甚至還會享受面試的樂趣。
C: 2P原則？
L: 「準備」和「練習」。如果妳記住這兩件事，那麼面試應該會進行得很順利。祝妳好運啦！
