THOMSON HIGH SCHOOL

A．Creative Writing－by Mrs．A．McClellan　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．Brand　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．Walter　A classic is literary work that has stood the test of time．Generations of readers have turned to classics to discover that which is ever-lasting．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．Technical Writing－by Mr．J．Allen　What is technical writing?It is the course devoted to improving our communication skills in, for, and through technology．Activities for this course will help you develop communication skills that are necessary for writers and speakers working with technology or in business．

E．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 writing in the world and deal with the techniques used in this text type．

F．World Literature－by Mrs．A．McClellan　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 this world, 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 which place or whom the story springs．

Answer 1

答案：
解析：

1．C　根據(jù)Mike選擇閱讀的小說(shuō)的類型“Britain and American”可知。 　　2．A　Joseph需要通過(guò)提高詞匯水平和段落組織能力等手段來(lái)提高寫(xiě)作水平，“Creative Writing”恰好提供了“word choice, paragraph development, and other skills useful in writing”。 　　3．B　Anna由于信息組織能力的缺乏而失去了很多在報(bào)紙上發(fā)表文章的機(jī)會(huì)，因此她應(yīng)該參加Journalism的課程來(lái)了解“how information is, or can be, organizes”。 　　4．E　Ian有豐富的旅游和冒險(xiǎn)的經(jīng)歷，他可以通過(guò)Non-fiction的課程學(xué)習(xí)怎樣把自己的故事記錄下來(lái)與別人分享。 　　5．F　從Susan感興趣的亞洲和西方的古典文學(xué)來(lái)判斷，她應(yīng)該選擇“World Literature”來(lái)了解全世界各種文學(xué)及它們的歷史和文化背景。
