· 内容分析:
【What】本板块的语篇围绕“工作的意义”这一主题,以杂志文章的形式从三个方面论述了人们工作的原因:除了寻求经济独立之外,工作还有助于个人梦想的实现、有利于个人技能的提升和有益于社会整体的发展。文章内容紧扣社会生活,富有时代气息,启发学生思考工作的价值,正确理解工作和生活的关系。
【Why】本文通过对人们工作原因的细致分析,旨在帮助学生理解不同职业的重要性,树立正确的劳动观念,塑造勤恳敬业的品格,弘扬中华民族的勤劳美德,创造美好生活。
【How】本文的语篇类型为议论文。文章结构严谨,条理清晰,逻辑缜密,语言精练。全文为“总—分—总”结构。文章标题和第一段以一个经典的问题创设情境,引发学生思考,引出本文的论点——谋生不是我们工作的唯一原因,还有其它因素促使我们去工作;第二段到第四段是主体部分,从三个方面分析了我们为什么要工作;最后一段自然归纳出我们工作不仅是为了个人利益,还为了社会福祉。结构层面,第二段到第四段均由段落主题句引领;语言层面,作者运用大量与“工作”相关的主题语境词汇,如earn a living, endeavour等帮助学生感知工作的意义;第四段将社会比作一台机器,将不同种类的工作比作机器上的齿轮,形象生动地展示了各行各业对社会正常运转的重要性;逻辑层面,作者巧妙运用多种话语标记语,如使用for example用于举例说明、使用moreover用于增加信息等,从而使行文富有逻辑,连贯自然。
