外研版高中英语选择性必修第一册 Unit 4 Meeting the muse
单元写作任务专项训练
本单元的写作任务是写一篇音乐或艺术作品的赏析短文(review / appreciation)。要求文章包含以下部分:
初遇(First encounter):交代你在什么情境下接触到这件作品;细听或细看(Close attention):选一个旋律、色彩或笔法细节,说明它如何打动人;理解(What it means):谈谈作品背后的故事或它对你的意义。
在动笔之前,教材为本单元的写作提供了充分的输入与铺垫。阅读输入:本单元的语篇探讨“灵感(the muse)从何而来”——艺术家的创作往往源于一段记忆、一次旅行或一种民间曲调,传统与现代在作品中相遇。教材引导学生关注艺术作品与创作者经历之间的联系。
语言输入:教材引导学生关注音乐与美术词汇(melody / rhythm / instrument / tone / brushstroke)、描写听觉感受的句式(It begins quietly, like... / The melody rises...),以及表达感受与联想的表达(It sounds like... / It reminds me of...),并提示赏析要落在具体的段落或细节上。
写作输出:教材设置了“介绍一件打动你的作品”的写作任务——学生先反复听或看一遍,记下三个细节,再写成短文,最后在班级“作品推荐会”上分享。本单元的写作任务旨在培养学生运用初遇—细节—理解的结构写赏析的能力,学会用通感与比喻传达难以言说的感受,并尊重不同文化中的艺术表达。

A Song Without Words
The first time I heard The Butterfly Lovers, I was sitting on a bus and did not know what it was.
The violin enters quietly, like a person walking into a room. Then the melody rises, and you can almost hear two students talking by a bridge. When the music turns sad, it does not shout; it slows down, the way real grief does.
I looked up the story that evening. Since then, the piece has sounded like a place I have visited.

An Afternoon with the Terracotta Army
Last month our class visited the Terracotta Warriors in Xi'an, and I expected rows of brown statues.
What surprised me was the detail. Each face is different: one has a small moustache, another a broken ear. Our guide said that the craftsmen signed some figures on hidden parts, as if to say, “I made this.”
I left thinking about those unknown workmen. The emperor wanted to be remembered; they are the ones I remember.

Art Is a Conversation
Hello, everyone. A painting is not a wall decoration. It is one side of a conversation.
When I look at Van Gogh's sunflowers, I answer with my own memory of a kitchen table. Someone in another century painted; someone here looks. Between us, something is passed that has no name. It is a conversation across time, and I am allowed to answer.
So give art your time. Look for one minute longer than feels comfortable. Thank you!

Dear Chris,
You asked for a piece of Chinese music. Try Erquan Yingyue by Abing.
It is played on the erhu, a two-stringed instrument, and the melody sounds like a person telling a story with no words. Abing was a street musician who lost his sight, and the piece is sad without being hopeless. Every time I hear it, I notice a different detail.
Listen with headphones, at night. Then tell me what you see. You will hear the street in it.
Yours,
Li Hua
