Lesson Preparation Guide

Question 1 (page 88 of Literature 10, Volume 1):

- In terms of vocabulary: use specialized terms from the field of linguistics, such as vocabulary, grammar, literary style, etc.

- In terms of sentences: the written sentences should be clear and coherent (use line breaks to separate points, and employ ordering words to emphasize different points).

- In terms of punctuation: use it accurately and in the right places to clarify the meaning of the sentence.

- Include clear explanations that justify the selection and substitution of terminology.

Question 2 (page 89 of Literature 10, Volume 1):

- There is a switch in roles between the speaker and the listener, and a change in who speaks when.

- Speech is often accompanied by gestures and body movements: laughing loudly, smiling with a smug look, wiping sweat from the face while laughing, etc.

- Use of informal language: words like 'hey', 'if...', 'there's plenty of...', etc.

- Use of truncated sentences, exclamatory expressions, and imperative forms...

Question 3 (page 89 of Literature 10, Volume 1):

c. Error: Both vocabulary and phrasing are incorrect.

- Correction: They spare nothing: from carp, turtles, frogs, snails, to birds living near water like storks, herons, ducks, and geese...
