Step II 应用实践
活动四:内化与运用
Ask students to read the introduction about the Brownings. Then have them help the author edit the passage to make it more concise. Tell them to use relative clauses if necessary.(Activity 2)
Suggested answer:
If you study the history of English literature, you will find the names of Robert and Elizabeth Barrett Browning, who were one of the most romantic literary couples of the Victorian era. Elizabeth Barrett started to write poetry from about the age of six. In 1844, Elizabeth's Poems brought her great success and also attracted the admiration of poet Robert Browning. Browning fell in love with her poetry and then they entered into personal correspondence. The couple exchanged many letters, which obviously helped sow the seeds of love between the two.Elizabeth had been ill for many years. She stayed at home and almost never saw visitors. Browning was sure about his love, so he found a way to visit her. and immediately convinced her to become his bride. However, their subsequent marriage was carried out in secret because her father was a dominant and selfish man who would refuse to let his daughter go. The couple moved to Italy in 1846.where Elizabeth lived for the rest of her life. Browning had a great influence on Elizabeth's writing. The best evidence that can be found is Sonnets from the Portuguese that were written during the time when she was in love with Robert Browning.
