THOMSON HIGH SCHOOL
A
Creative Writing
-by Mrs A. MeCletian
Creative writing is a course in which we study and apply the methods used in various forms of fiction
writing. Writing is a skill of art in itself. We are guided by Ezra Pound's opinion: "Make it new." Creative
writing does not only provide us with an opportunity to express ourselves, but also holds our attention to
word choice, paragraph development, and other skills useful in writing.
B
Journalism
-by Dr E. Brandt
Journalism is a course for seniors, in which we will cover how to gather, write and report the news. We
will discuss how information is, or can be, organized. This course also aims to develop communication
skills required of journalists.
C
American &. British Classics
-by Dr E. Waiter
A classic is a literary work that has stood the test of time. Generations of readers have turned to classics
to discover that which is everlasting. Through both the works themselves and the people they mirror, we
may better be able to see ourselves. In this course, we will read works in both British and American
literature. We will write reviews of what we read.
D
Non-fiction
-by Dr M. Timm
The course is a study of non-fiction through reading many different types of non-fiction. The course will
also be about the possible changes in journalistic reporting and the sharing of personal stories of various
people on various topics such as travel and adventure. We will examine some of the best writings in the
world and deal with the techniques used in this text type.
E
World Literature
-by Mrs A. MeClellan
World Literature examines the common people found in quality literature worldwide, from Europe to
America, from Asia to Africa, and introduces a variety of cultural background at different points in history. In these worlds, we find not only what is unique to each culture, but what is universal. We are also able
to tell what makes for a good story, no matter from where or whom the story springs. 题型：未知难度：其他题型

考点
据考高分专家说，试题“阅读理解 Thomson 中学.....”主要考查你对 [日常生活类阅读 ]考点的理解。日常生活类阅读
日常生活类阅读的概念：
日常生活这一话题主要涉及人们衣食住行等方面的活动。这一话题的选材主要针对人们日常的工作，生活以及学习情况。做这一类题时，最主要的是要把握好人物的活动内容，时间和地点。
日常生活类阅读题答题技巧：
【题型说明】
该类文章内容涉及到人们的言谈举止、生活习惯、饮食起居、服饰仪表、恋爱婚姻、消遣娱乐、节日起源、家庭生活等。文章篇幅短小，追根溯源，探索各项风俗的历史渊源，内容有趣。命题也以送分题为主，如事实细节题、语义转换题、词义猜测题和简单推理判断题等。虽然这类文章读起来感觉轻松，试题做起来比较顺手，但绝不能掉以轻心。因为稍不留神，就会丢分。
【备考提醒】
为了保证较高准确率，建议同学们做好以下几点：
1、保持正常的考试心态。笔者在教学中发现，越是容易的试题，同学们越是容易失分。为什么呢？因为在这种情况下，同学们极易产生麻痹思想，认为题目好做，就不引起高度重视，于是思维不发散、不周密。而命题人就是利用同学们的这一弱点，设计陷阱题。所以，无论试题难易与否，我们都要保持正常的考试心态。试题容易，不欣喜；试题难，不悲观。
2、根据前面讲到的方法，认认真真、细细心心做好事实细节题。
3、做好语义转换题。这类题是根据英语中一词多义和某些词语在文中能表达一定的修辞意义的原则而设计的。要求同学们解释某生词的含义，确定多义词或短语在文中的意思，确认文中的某个代词所指代的对象，或者对英语中特有的表达、格言、谚语进行解释。这种题要求同学们一定要根据上下文猜测词义或理解句子，切不可望文生义。
4、做好简单推理判断题。简单推理判断题要以表面文字为前提，以具体事实为依据进行推理，做出判断。这种推理方式比较直接，只要弄清事实，即可结合常识推断出合理的结论。
