Text I
Writing Skills
The text is a piece of narrative writing and organized in the usual chronological order. But at the start of the text, the author used the flashback technique by beginning with the signing of the will and then turned back to the classification of Shakespeare’s life into several periods based on a time order. The author also used the “cyclic return” in the writing by using the key word “signature” both in the first paragraph and the last paragraph. The two techniques helped the author to inform the reader about the life of Shakespeare most effectively.
2) The author used many adjectives ending with “–ing”, superlatives and some emphatic sentence patterns to achieve an “emotional” tone, trying to arouse the strong feelings in readers.
II. Language Points
The way to express date
e.g. in May; in 1999; in June, 1998; on August 3rd, 1998
number-year/month-old + n.
e.g. He has a two-month-old baby.
He offered his seat to a sixty-five-year-old woman.
cf: They had a ten-minute talk.
No decision was made after a two-hour meeting.
will, legacy, inheritance, estate
will: a legal statement about how to deal with the property after death
legacy: money or other belongings left to another person after death
inheritance: receiving property, title from ancestors according to the will
estate: Estate includes real estate and personal estate.
real estate (动产): land and building
personal estate(不动产): money, property
the second/third/by far + the superlative degree of an adjective
e.g. Hainan Island is the second largest island in China.
Paraphrase:
She is one of the most diligent girls in our class and considered to be No. 3.
The Amazon is the longest river in the world. (use “by far”)
This book is the most interesting one of all the books. (use “by far”)
adv + off = rich
comfortably off, well off, well to do
be better off = be in better circumstances
be worse off = be in worse circumstances
