Part IV Chinese & Foreign Culture Introduction
Task One
Xi’an, anciently called Chang’an, is the provincial capital of Shanxi Province of China. It was authorized by the UNESCO as a world-famous historic city in 1981.
With a history of more than 3,100 years, Xi’an is one of the Four Great Ancient Capital Cities together with Athens, Rome and Cairo. From the 11th century B.C. to the 10th century A.D., there were a total of about 13 dynasties or regimes which made X i’an their capital. Among these dynasties, Xi’an w as most prosperous during the Xizhou, Qin, Xihan and Tang dynasties. Especially, during the Han and Tang dynasty, Xi’an city was very grand and was an international city famous around the world. Xi’an was also the start point of “Silk Road”.
The first land mark visitors will encounter in Xi’an is its ancient City Wall, which stretches just outside the railway station. It is the most complete ancient city wall in China and one of the largest ancient military defensive systems in the world
as well.
Task Two
有一条古堡之路从沿海的阿伯丁一直蜿蜒到格兰扁山区深处。
沿途很多昔日的要塞是苏格兰在历史上不断反抗英格兰统治的见证。
或许，苏格兰争取自治的过程中最大快人心的莫过于这个时刻——1320年，布鲁斯国王在阿布罗斯这个修道院鼓动百姓大肆庆贺独立宣言签订。
布鲁斯采纳传奇英雄威廉·华勒斯所献的计策，完成了自治大业，这个故事后来被改编成电影《勇敢的心》，该片曾摘取五项奥斯卡奖。
这就是格拉米斯城堡。
它之所以名闻遐迩，却是因为曾经的两位主人——苏格兰国王麦克白与幼年时的伊丽莎白女王。
如今这里最殷勤的客人当数传说中挥之不去的幽灵，这些传说即使不是源于世代相传的民间故事，也大有受其启发的嫌疑。
苏格兰人似乎生来就笃信超自然的力量，因此才有了这些传说。
这里游人如织的另一个原因则是尼斯湖的怪兽。
真假姑且不论，这个昵称为
Nessie（尼斯）的怪兽在过去的半个世纪中已经吸引了三千多名游客。
如今它头上有五十万英镑的悬赏，这使得对于怪兽的争论日益激烈，或许也会令游人的好奇心更加强烈吧。

中时，则采用地下开采方式提取有用矿物。
3.跟地下开采相比，这些作业方式成本更低，但是，如果不采取措施复垦土
地，将会对周边环境带来更严重的破坏。
4.露天开采可能成为一种成本耗费更低，作业相对安全，能够获取大量所需
资源的采矿方式。
5.在许多情况下，条带开采法被运用在荒土地区中，开采中的复垦过程不
仅能够恢复土壤，还能改善土壤。
Part VI Academic Writing: Lecture
略
Part VII Developing Skills: Narrative Writing ( I )
1. Introduction: The introductory paragraph should identify the topic and explain why it is important and worthy of discussion. The sample essay begins with a general statement: “Learning something new can be a scary experience.” This statement introduces the subject of the essay, which is a particular learning experience the author had.
2. Conclusion: The concluding paragraph may be the most important. The writer must
not merely repeat the introductory paragraph, but explain in expert —like detail what has been learned, explained, decided, proven, etc. The writer must reveal the ways in which the paper’s thesis might have significance in society. In the final paragraph of the sample essay, the author reflects on the larger meaning of the experience described. The author concludes that learning to swim helped her feel more confident about herself in other new situations, and the idea that self-confidence comes from conquering fears is something all people can relate to. This is the point of the essay.。
