Comprehension (1) Explain the text (2) Summarize Text Organization Part One (Paras 1-3) The story between a former heavyweight champion with his son; Part Two: (Paras 4-24) The story between the author with his son. (3) Summarize General idea Father always attempts to let their children repeat their past, to succeed them in achievement. The former heavyweight champion Joe Frazier serves as an example, so does the author. When he took his son to a baseball game, he realized that children also had their own strong will, and he finally chose to respect his son’s will. These two stories aim at one point: It is not wise for parents to impose their wills or expectations on their children. 3. Long sentences In the face of clear evidence to the contrary, Joe Frazier was unable to give up the notion that Marvis would succeed him as champion, that he would continue to hold the crown through his son. It is a disturbing business, this drive for immortality, usually much more subtle than thrusting one’s son naked into the ring. But I knew better. I knew now that if I insisted on staying, it would be his day that would be ruined so Dad could watch a ball game. He was supposed to like the baseball game, not for his sake, but for mine, and I had gotten angry at him when he didn’t measure up to my expectations. b. the theme-related language learning tasks (Part IV) 1.
