Unit 12 Teachers’ Paper
Background knowledge:
Distance learning
A type of education, typically college-level, where students work on their own at home or at the office and communicate with faculty and other students via e-mail, electronic forums, videoconferencing, chat rooms, bulletin boards, instant messaging and other forms of computer-based communication.
Most distance learning programs include a computer-based training (CBT) system and communications tools to produce a virtual classroom. Because the Internet and World Wide Web are accessible from virtually all computer platforms, they serve as the foundation for many distance learning systems.
The Hope Project
Education plays an important part in modern life. However, in some poor areas, many children can't afford the expenses of schooling and are forced to leave school. At the same time, our country is not able to invest too much in it. Under this condition, the Hope Project if carried out.
The Hope Project if of great necessity to our country. In the first place, it will create conditions for the children to go back to school. Secondly, it can make more people educated. Thus, is may indirectly lead to the improvement of people's standards of life.
In my opinion, the Hope Project is of great importance to our country, I hope that with this help more and more children can get the opportunity to be educated.
United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organization
The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESC0) is one of 18 specialized agencies within the United Nations System. It was established on November 16, 1945, as much of the world was emerging from the devastation of the Second World War. Canada was one of the 20 founding members. UNESCO was formed to create an organization that would embody a genuine culture of peace by promoting collaboration among nations through education, the sciences, culture, and communication and information.
UNESCO works to create the conditions for dialogue and cooperation between the peoples of the world, based upon commonly shared values and respect for individual civilizations and cultures. The Organization also serves as a clearinghouse to share knowledge and ideas with its 190 Member States and six Associate Members. Through diverse and extensive strategies and projects, UNESCO is is actively pursuing the United Nations Millennium Development Goals, placing particular emphasis on initiatives which focus on eradicating poverty; achieving universal primary education and eliminating gender disparity in education; helping countries to implement national strategies for sustainable development; and halting the loss of environmental resources.
Since its inception , UNESCO has worked to inspire, encourage and sustain the principles of democracy, cooperation, non-violence, respect for human rights and cultural diversity. As the developing countries of the world struggle to find their place, as globalization continues to grow and the world moves rapidly towards knowledge based societies, the work of UNESCO becomes ever more vital. Through its efforts in the sectors of education, science, culture, information and communication, UNESCO is committed to attaining an ambitious goal: to build peace in the minds of men.

4. Careful reading(Answer the following questions.)
1. Why did the Chinese government introduce a law stating that by the year 2000 every Chinese child would have nine years of compulsory education?
(Because the Chinese government realises that the future welfare of its citizens is closely linked to education.)
2. Do all girls and boys in China share the same opportunity to accept education? Why (not)?
(No. In some cultures parents are particularly unwilling to send their daughters to school because the custom is to educate boys rather than girls.)
3. What’s your understanding of the title “Education for all”?
(Complete, free and compulsory primary education of good quality for all children by 2015.)
4. The success of a country in bringing education to all depends on the economy . Does this mean rich nations in the world don’t face education problems?
(No, it doesn’t. Even the richest nation in the world faces problems. e.g. the USA found that it is not easy to make sure that every student receives the same quality of teaching.)
5. Close test:
__________, it is important to _____a positive attitude. In areas where agriculture _______ ___________, people do not ______________ education, and parents _____________ anything that _____ children _________ their work on the farm.

e.g. It is hoped that the children will carry on our family traditions.
我們期待孩子們能繼承我們家族的傳統(tǒng)。
2. In China, as in other countries, the government realizes that the future welfare of its citizens is closely linked to education.

他起初沒錢，可是后來相當(dāng)富有了。
4. In areas where agriculture plays an important role, people do not attach importance to education, and parents are sceptical of anything that takes children away from their work on farm.
句中where和that都引導(dǎo)定語從句。

e.g. No blame attaches to him for the accident. 這個(gè)事故他沒有受到責(zé)備。

7. To solve this, Australia uses “distance learning” methods, where the students have lessons by two-way radio and mail.
to solve this是目的狀語提前，表示強(qiáng)調(diào)；另外句中where引導(dǎo)的是非限定性定語從句，修飾說明methods；此類定語從句比較特別，因?yàn)槠渲械囊龑?dǎo)詞并非表示地點(diǎn)的名詞，類似的名詞還有case, situation, condition等。

9. In these countries, where some people do not even have fresh water or basic health care, reaching the target of “Education for All” will be a huge task, despite help from the international community.
where引導(dǎo)非限定性定語從句；reaching短語是句子的主語，despite是介詞，其意義為“不管, 盡管, 不論”。
e.g. Despite the bad weather we enjoyed our holiday.
盡管天氣不好，我們的假期仍過得很愉快。
