3.Introduction to some famous educators

Confucius

Confucius(KongZi)is one of China’s greatest thinkers and educationists.His teachings have become known as Confucianism and they continue to influence today’s Chinese and Chinese communities all over the world.

Confucius was born in 551 BC in Shandong Province. He came from a noble family, so the young Confucius were able to read many books. He was the first to start a private school which accepted students from all classes of the country. He stimulated（激勵） his students to think by posing（提出） questions. He spent his whole life trying to restore peace and harmony in society by emphasizing moral virtues and values. Many of his views and ideas on social behavior continue to be relevant（有關的） today. He belongs to not only China, but also the whole world.

Anton Makarenko

He was a Russian educator and novelist. He was born in 1888.He believed that physical labor and discipline were important in education. He also felt strongly that cooperation within the group/school community was essential and that democratic principles（民主理論） should be incorporated(合成一體的) into education. His theories were based on the idea that work results in discipline which is good for the school community and also benefits the individual by allowing him or her to enjoy creative activity. His aim was to develop young people with independent personalities who could also contribute to the community.

Anne Sullivan

Anne Sullivan became almost blind when she was 5 years old. She later had several operations and recovered her sight. She was a student at the Perkins Institute for the Blind and became Helen Keller’s teacher at the age of 20.

Helen Keller was born deaf and blind. Anne Sullivan met her when she was 7 years old. Anne taught Helen the manual alphabet ,the Tadoma method of touching other people’s lips as they spoke to feel the vibrations(振動) and braille (布萊葉盲文,點字法).

Anne Sullivan worked with Helen Keller for 49 years, and attended college with her to translate the lectures into her hand . Helen graduated from Radcliffe College and went on to become a famous speaker and author throughout the world. She also campaigned for blind people and issues concerning the prevention of blindness.

Step1 Revision

Retell the passage in your own words:

In China, as in other countries, the government has been doing its best to provide every school-age child nine years of compulsory education and the outcome is highly successful. Yet, problems and difficulties remain in the rural areas, some poor countries and less-populated areas. Distance learning and mixed-grade classes helped a lot. Besides, some international organizations and local organizations offered money to meet the cost in the poor areas. Though “Education for All” - the international target is hard to achieve, the UNESCO, every government and some local organizations are doing their bits. There is a long way to go, but we’re sure to succeed.

Step3 Language points

1. It is reported that 99% of school-age children in China attended primary school by 2004.

It is reported (said, thought, hoped and etc) that … 句型結構，通常表達“據報道（據說，人們認為，人們希望

等）”，其中句首的it是形式主語，真正的主語是that引導的從句內容。

e.g. It is hoped that the children will carry on our family traditions.

我們期待孩子們能繼承我們家族的傳統。

2. In China, as in other countries, the government realizes that the future welfare of its citizens is closely linked to education.

be linked to 與……連接（相關）的。

e.g. The island will be linked to the mainland by a new bridge.

In areas where agriculture plays an important role , people do not attach importance to education, and parents are sceptical of anything that takes children away from their work on the farm.

句中where和that都引導定語從句。 attach ... to ...（加于……之上）和be sceptical of（對……抱著懷疑的態 度）是固定短語。

e.g. No blame attaches to him for the accident.

這個事故他沒有受到責備。

We should attach primary importance to the development of economy.

我們要把發展經濟的工作放在第一位。

4. In some cultures parents are particularly unwilling to send their

daughters to school because the custom is to educate boys rather than girls.

be unwilling to do 不愿意……； rather than 勝于

e.g. These shoes are comfortable rather than pretty.

這雙鞋不好看，但是舒服

5. To solve this, Australia uses “distance learning” methods, where the students have lessons by two-way radio and mail.

to solve this是目的狀語提前，表示強調；另外句中where引導的是非限定性定語從句，修飾說明methods；此類定語從句比較特別，因為其中

的引導詞并非表示地點的名詞，類似的名詞還有case, situation, condition等。

e.g. Can you think of a situation where this idiom can be used?

你能想出一個使用這個成語的情況嗎？

6. In these countries, where some people do not even have fresh water or basic health care, reaching the target of “Education for All” will be a huge task, despite help from the international community.

where引導非限定性定語從句；

reaching短語是句子的主語，despite是介詞，其意義為“不管, 盡管, 不論”。

e.g. Despite the bad weather we

enjoyed our holiday.

盡管天氣不好，我們的假期仍

過得很愉快。
