当新概念英语遇上思维导图(刻意练习5/96)

 lesson 5   No wrong numbers

（一）文本阅读

    Mr. James Scott has a garage in Silbury and now he has just bought another garage in Pinhurst. Pinhurst is only five miles from Silbury, but Mr. Scott cannot get a telephone for his new garage, so he has just bought twelve pigeons. Yesterday, a pigeon carried the first message from Pinhurst to Silbury. The bird covered the distance in three minutes. Up to now, Mr. Scott has sent a great many requests for spare parts and other urgent messages from one garage to the other. In this way, he has begun his own private ' telephone' service.

（二）抓重点：文字化

      这篇文章从3W（Who、Where、What）和1个H（How）来理解，文章的主人公是Mr. James Scott；文章出现的两个地点分别是James的两个车库，一个在Silbury，另一个在Pinhurst；事情的起因是James买了新车库，虽然两个车库相距不远，但仍没办法在新车库安装电话，所以James就买了12只鸽子，让鸽子充当“接线员”，递送一些重要的信息。由此，James也就巧妙的解决了没有电话烦恼。

(三) 4宫格可视化：看图说话

(四) 实际操练:情景模拟

背诵的最好效果就是学会应用。所以接下来的时间，我们要开始情景模拟了哦。

——What kind of workshop does Mr. Scott have in Silbury?

——He has a garage.

——I heard he bought another garage in Pinhurst? Is it true?

——Yes, he has just bought another garage in Pinhurst.

——What's the distance between the two garages?

——Pinhurst is only five miles from Sibury.

——Just five miles! The communication must be convenient, right?

——Actually, no. Guess what? Mr. Scott cannot get a telephone for his new garage.

——How did he deal with this problem?

——He has just bought twelve pigeons. Yesterday, a pigeon carried the first message from

Pinhurst to Silbury. The bird covered the distance in three minutes.

——What kind of messages do the pigeons carry?

——Up to now, he has sent a great many requests for spare parts and other urgent messages

from one garage to the other. In this way, he has begun his own private telephone' service.

（五）反思

 重新再整理这篇文章还是依旧觉得很有意思，James先生真的是位很有意思的人，没有电话估计很多人都会抓狂，会抱怨这个地区怎么这么落后，而这问James却另辟蹊径想到用鸽子来帮忙传递信息，真是可爱。

想到现在都是出门只带手机的时代，正好那天出门才发现手机欠费停机，一阵窘迫，也没有零钱在身。跟朋友提及此事，朋友哈哈大笑，说他近期也遇到类似问题，他当时是打了无数个电话给10086，让接线员帮忙打电话给家人帮忙冲话费，最后接线员真的答应帮忙，家人也帮忙冲了话费。听了大开眼界，哈哈哈，一件事情真的有无数的解决方法，就看你会不会转弯敢不敢尝试吧。哈哈哈，不过经过此事，我实在又是涨了经验， 立马搜查手机停机能否应急充值的文章作为备用。

正所谓事事皆学问吧。生活有趣哈哈哈。
