Unit 4

The Virtual World
I. Teaching Objectives

Students will be able to:

1.
understand
the
main
idea(despite
the
many
negative
effects
of
virtual
life,
the
author
prefers
it
to
real
life)
and
structure
of
the
text
(contrast
between
virtual
life and real life);

2. learn some rules of interpreting new vocabulary and usage related to computers
and the Internet in English;

3. grasp the key language points and grammatical structures in the text;

4.
conduct
a
series
of
reading,
listening,
speaking
and
writing
activities
related
to the theme of the unit.

II. Key Points:

The
structure,
the
writing
skill,
and
the
main
idea
of
the
text
will
be
the
focus.
Only
a
few
words
and
sentences,
which
will
be
the
obstacles
for
students’
understanding of the text, will be explained in class.


III. Difficult Points:

Some
sentences
whose
meanings
are
difficult
to
understand
and
whose
structures
are
hard to analyze:

1. Line 26-28

Para. 6

: I find myself shyer, more
cautious.
Or, conversely, when
suddenly confronted with real life humans, I get overexcited, speak too much,
interrupt.

2.
Line
45-47:
When
I
am
in
this
state,
I
fight
my
boyfriend
as
well,
misinterpreting
his intentions because of the lack of emotional cues given by our typed dialogue.

B. Cultural Notes

Internet:

an
international
computer
network
for
the
exchange
of
information.
It
was originally used mainly in the academic and military worlds but has since
become available to the large and increasing number of people with personal
computers. Other services, . the World Wide Web, are available through it.

The
Internet
is
changing
our
lives
and
a
parallel
universe
is
rapidly
emerging
online.
Today
there
is
scarcely
an
aspect
of
our
life
th
at
isn’t
being
upended
by the torrent of information available on the hundreds of millions of sites
crowding
the
Internet,
not
to
mention
its
saving
companies
billions
of
dollars
in producing goods and serving the needs of their customers. Nothing like it
has
been
seen
since
the
beginning
of
the
Industrial
Revolution,
when
power-driven machines began producing more in a day than men
could turn out in
nearly
a
year.
The
Internet
and
e-commerce
are
viewed
as
a
global
megatrend
along
the
lines
of
the
printing
press,
the
telephone,
the
computer
and
the
electricity.

You would be hard pressed to name something that isn’t available on the
Internet. Consider: books, health care, movie tickets, baby clothes, stocks,
real
estate,
toys
and
airline
tickets.
American
kids
today
are
so
computer
savvy
that
it
virtually
ensures
the
United
States
will
remain
the
unchallenged
leader
in
cyberspace
for
the
foreseeable
future.
Most
kids
use
computers
to
play
games
and have email chats with friends.

What’s clear is that, whatever
we like it or not, the Internet is an
ever-growing part of our lives and there is no turning back.

2.

NBC (the National Broadcasting Company):
the first of the original three US
national
broadcasting
companies.
It
was
established
in
1926
by
Radio
Corporation
of America as two groups of radio stations. The first NBC television channel
opened in 1940. The company is now owned by General Electric. Its main offices
are at Rockefeller Center in New York.

3.

PBS ( the Public Broadcasting Services):
(in the US) a television system that
broadcasts
programs
to
an
association
of
local
stations
which
use
no
television
advertisements and do not make a profit. It was established by the Public
Broadcasting
Act
and
is
supported
by
money
from
the
US
Government,
large
companies and the public. PBS is known for the high quality of its programs.

4.

ABC ( the American Broadcasting Company):
one of the original three major
television networks in American. It began in 1943 as the Blue Networks of six
radio stations. ABC is now owned by the Walt Disney Company.
