The Man Who Changed Our Understanding of The Universe
Albert Einstein, who is perhaps the greatest scientist in modern physics, is often
considered one of the smartest men who ever lived. He made numerous contributions
to the world, the most well-known being the general theory of relativity and the famous
formula E=mc². Einstein was not only a genius; he was a courageous and kind figure
loved by many people.
This gentle genius was born in Germany on 14 March 1879. When he was 16, he
tried to enter university in Switzerland, but failed due to his low scores in the general
part of the entrance exam, despite obtaining exceptional scores in maths and physics.
After studying for another year, he managed to pass the exam, entering university in
1896 and graduating in 1900.
After two years of looking for work as a teacher, Einstein took a job as a clerk in
the Swiss patent office. While working there, out of a strong passion for knowledge,
he continued to study, earning a doctorate in physics in 1905. That same year, which
was later recorded as a miracle year in science, he published four extraordinary physics
papers. Following this, he gradually became famous throughout the world as the new
Isaac Newton. After four years, he was able to quit his job at the patent office and enter
research full-time at a university. In 1922, he was awarded the 1921 Nobel Prize for
Physics for his explanation of the photoelectric effect.
Circumstances changed in 1933, when Hitler came to power in Germany.
Einstein, who was Jewish, found the doors of academic institutions closed to him. As
a consequence, he had to flee Germany. After spending time in Europe, he finally took
up a position as a researcher at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, USA.

Following that, he continued to make great achievements in physics and mathematics.
To the public, he was seen as a slightly odd-looking but kind and funny man. He
had a thick moustache and long white hair, which sometimes stood on end as though
he had just received an electric shock. Although he was a genius, he sometimes forgot
things, like his friends’ birthdays. But despite his peculiarities, he was loved by his
friends and neighbours. There is even a story about how he helped a little girl who
knocked on his door and asked for help with her homework. In fact, Einstein often
encountered people on the street who would stop him and ask him to help explain things.
After many such occasions, he finally started saying, “Pardon me! Sorry! Always I am
mistaken for Professor Einstein!”
On 18 April 1955, it was reported that Einstein had passed away, and the whole
world mourned the great loss of a brilliant scientist.

同时具备阅读的技巧并能通过小组合作解决有挑战性的任务。但是学生对修辞手法
的认识不够全面,驾驭修辞手法的能力不足,需要教师的指导。此外,学生从了解
并介绍令人敬佩的人到树立远大目标的主题深层挖掘也需要在活动中逐渐体悟。

In order to relieve Ss pressure, the teacher presents a sample. It’s based on a real
person, who is a former student of the teacher.
A sample
Today, I’d like to introduce Sun Shiwei, who is one of my former students. He
graduatedfrom Shijiazhuang No. 1 High School in 2005, working in a state-owned
company in Beijing now.
Being the youngest child of the family, he is loved by all his family members. He
is of medium build and not very good-looking. When in high school, he was a positive
and easy-going student, always ready to help others. He was Lei Feng of the class. In
2012, while he was working in Sudan, some anti-government armed forces kidnapped
29 Chinesecitizens including him. Not only did he post an immediate message online
saying they were in great danger but also he stepped forward, using his skills in Arabian

四、教学反思
本节课整体进展顺利,基本达成了教学目标。本节课的重点是分析人物传记的
语篇结构、组织方式,以及识别并运用描述性词汇和修辞手段介绍人物。从学生课
上的反馈来看,他们基本掌握了重点。修辞手段的理解和使用是一个难点,通过给
例子、小组讨论以及老师示范等方式,学生理解了如何使用修辞及其在写作中的作
用。教学过程任务突出,教师教学方法灵活,教态自然,语言简练,板书美观,给
了学生及时的指导。但是因为时间有限,只展示了部分小组的作品,另外,有些同
学没有得到回答问题的机会。
