Text A tells a love story about two college sweethearts, while Text B presents an image of a college girl who is in love and wants to initiate the first step to date a boy. The two texts have the same theme, but the dating practices are somewhat different: One is more traditional and the other more modern. Though the rhetoric modes used in both texts are narrative, Text B, however, is also more like an exposition, with the girl’s opinion about dating being clearly stated: what kind of date is most beneficial, who should initiate , and who should pay. The teacher may want to expose students to the elaborated description of the girl’s inner struggle. To let students find out what kind of date they really want and how they can deal with it properly, the teacher may start with a class discussion, based on the prereading activities, and then proceed to a storytelling activity on the topic of “l(fā)ove just happens when you least expect it”. The activity contains two layers: from oral to writing.Section A College sweetheartsBackground informationCampus romance in the 1960s in the United StatesThe 1960s in the United States are often perceived today as a period of profound societal change. Attitudes to a variety of issues changed, sometimes radically, throughout the decade. The urge to “find oneself”, the activism of the 1960s, and the quest for autonomy were characterized by changes toward sexual attitudes and practices, particularly among the young. These changes to sexual attitudes and behavior during the period are often referred to as the “sexual revolution”. The sexual revolution was often seen to have been centered on the university campus, among students. While the term “revolution” implies radical and widespread change, this was not necessarily in the case. Even in the “l(fā)iberal” 1960s, conservative and traditional views were widely held. The love story in Text A coincides with what happened in that particular historical period of time in the United States. From the story students can see the main characters, college sweethearts back then, were actually following a more traditional pattern of dating, romantic but conservative, a clear stream on campus in the 1960s.Detailed study of the text1.
