how something happens step by step so that the reader can perform the process or understand the process more easily.For this reason,process paragraphs are often organized in time order.1111/53Process Analysis Process analysis is one of the common and useful ways in writings like description and narration.Process writing organizes its ideas according to the steps of the process.For instance,we often need to explain how something is done or what procedures we have to follow in order to complete a process.Such steps or procedures have to be arranged as they reasonably or objectively(not randomly)occur.1212/53Process Analysis The purpose of process description is usually to inform,teach or give ideas to the reader about how something new(or interesting or conventional)happens or in what way it can be completed.13 how the body uses oxygen how a CD player produces sound how people celebrate a holiday or tradition how to lose weight/stop smoking how to study for an exam13/53Process Analysis There are two types of process analysis.14 Directional process analysis gives step-by-step instructions to help readers carry out a process(how to run a computer program,how to write an outline,for example.)When you encounter a person at a party who starts to tell jokes with racial slurs(毁谤;诋毁;欺侮性言辞),you should take certain steps.First,you should not laugh at the jokes,even though you may embarass that person.Then.14/53Process Analysis 15 Informative process analysis explains a process to help readers understand how something happens or how something operates(how ants are produced(繁殖繁殖),how I became a videoholic(录像迷录像迷),for instance.)Last weekend at a party,a man started telling racial jokes.I decided it was time to take a stand(表明立场),and I developed some strategies I intend to use from now on.First,I didnt laugh at this job.Then.15/53Organizational StructureRead the following paragraphs and tell what type of process analysis they belong to.1616/53Supplementary Reading1717/53Supplementary Reading The cloning of Dolly involved several steps.First,cells that had previously been taken from Dollys mother were starved for five days,which caused them to stop dividing.This interruption of the cells division cycle made it easier for them to reprogram themselves to start growing a new organism.After five days,the nuclei of these cells were removed and transferred into an unfertilized sheep egg,from which the natural nucleus had previously been removed.In the next step,the egg was grown in the laboratory for a period of time.Then the egg was implanted into a different sheep,where it grew normally.When the sheep finally gave birth,the lamb was an exact genetic copy,or clone,of the sheep that had provided the transferred nuleus,not of the sheep that had provided the egg.1818/53Organizational StructureRead the following paragraph and answer the questions.1919/53Supplementary Reading British housewives often make chocolate chip cookies(巧克力曲奇)themselves for their afternoon tea.To make such cookies,however,is a quite complicated task.Here is the recipe(食谱)for such cookies to be made.Several things,like flour,water,sugar,salt,eggs,and chocolate,need to be prepared before the whole process starts.First,two cups of flour and a teaspoon of baking soda(发酵粉)are mixed together with water.Then add a teaspoon of salt before you put together a cup of butter and a cup of sugar in a separate bowl.After this,two eggs can be added to this mixture.Now all the ingredients(烹调)原料)can be combined into a large bowl,and you slowly mix in a cup of chocolate chips and a cup of nuts.When all this is done,little cookies can be formed from the mixture and then placed onto a cookie sheet(饼干纸(烘烤用).Finally,bake the stuff for 8 minutes at 375 degrees Fahrenheit.2020/53Organizational StructureQuestions:1.What is the topic of the paragraph?2.What are the characteristics of this paragraph?2121/53Organizational StructureQuestions:1.What is the topic of the paragraph?This paragraph offers a recipe for making chocolate chip cookies.222.What are the characteristics of this paragraph?The paragraph is characteristic of process description.It informs us of a series of steps British housewives usually take in preparing cookies.These steps involve preparations,specific steps,and the final result of chocolate chip cookies making.All these steps are described according to the actual order of doing the work.22/53Organizational StructureNow,complete the table according to the steps in Sample 1.2323/53Step 1(preparation):Get ready flour,water,sugar,salt,eggs,and chocolate.Step 2:Mix flour and baking soda together with water.Step 3:Add salt and put butter and sugar together in a separate bowl.Step 5:Mix in chocolate chips and nuts after combining all the ingredients.Step 6:Place the little cookies formed from the mixture onto a cookie sheet.Step 7:Bake all these pieces for 8 minutes at 375 degrees Fahrenheit.Step 8(result):Here are the chocolate chip cookies that can be served for afternoon tea.Organizational Structure24/53Organizational StructureNow,can you summarize the pattern of process description in Sample 1?2525/53Organizational StructureThe sample paragraph explains or describes the successive(连续连续)steps of making chocolate chip cookies for afternoon tea in Britain.26This pattern of organization is called process analysis.In this pattern,you may illustrate the process of doing something in detail from beginning to end.And the description of these details has to follow the order of the actual steps.26/53Organizational Structurev Bullfights in Spain appeal to(对对有有吸引力吸引力)many people with an exciting atmosphere.Along with the music of the brass band(铜铜管管乐队乐队(由(由铜铜管管乐乐器和打器和打击乐击乐器器组组成)成)),the magnificently dressed performers are seen walking across the ring(又作又作bullring,斗牛斗牛场场)at the beginning of the spectacle(壮壮观场观场面面).Now everyone eagerly looks towards the small wooden door in the ringside(场边场边),waiting for it to be opened and for the first powerful bull to run into the arena.2727/53Organizational StructurevThen,when the action starts,different performers do their tasks with mastery(熟熟练练)and skill.The assistant bullfighters swirl(旋旋转转,打旋打旋)their pink and yellow capes(披肩披肩);the horseriders cut the muscles on the bulls necks with points of their long lances(长长矛矛,标枪标枪)while the bulls attack their blindfolded(蒙住眼蒙住眼睛睛)horses;and those ready to throw pairs of decorated spiked(装有尖装有尖钉钉)sticks into the necks of the bulls let the bulls charge at them and then nimbly(灵敏灵敏;灵活灵活)jump out of the way at the last second.2828/53Organizational StructurevAbove all,it is compelling(扣人心弦扣人心弦)to watch the final bullfighter kill each bull as artistically and as cleanly as possible.The graceful(优优雅雅)movements that the bullfighter makes as he swirls his scarlet(深深红红;鲜红鲜红色色)cape and twists his body out of the way of the bulls sharp horns are accompanied by gasps of wonder from the crowd.Then comes the moment of truth,when the bullfighter must plunge his short sword with its curved tip between the shoulder blades(肩胛肩胛)of the exhausted bull,and pierce its heart.2929/53Organizational StructurevIf he has fought bravely and made a good,clean kill,the bullfighter receives tumultuous(欢跃欢跃;喧喧闹闹)applause from the delighted crowd,and flowers and personal belongings are showered upon him as he walks around the ring.He may also be awarded with one or both of the bulls ears in recognition of his good performance.If,on the other hand,he has made a mess of things,the crowd whistles and shouts abuse(辱辱骂骂;恶语恶语),and cushions and other things are hurled into the arena.3030/53Organizational StructureFinally the dead bull is dragged out of the ring by a team of mules with jingling bells,the sand is cleaned up and smoothed by attendants in overalls((吊吊带带)工装裤工装裤),and the stage is set for the next fight.3131/53Organizational StructureQuestions:1.What is discussed in this passage?2.And how many steps are described in the passage?3232/53Organizational StructureQuestions:1.What is discussed in this passage?This passage tells us about the famous bullfight in Spain.332.And how many steps are described in the passage?There are 5 main procedures covered:the performers walking across the ring at the beginning;different performances with mastery and skill;the killing of the bull;the applause or abuse;and the cleaning up of the ring.33/53Organizational StructureNow,discuss in groups the organization of the passage and then fill in the table below.3434/53Step 1:Performers are seen walking across the ring along with the music.Step 2:Various performances start(e.g.by the assistant bullfighters,the horse-riders,those who throw sticks,and the final bullfighter).Step 3:The fighting bulls finally get killed.Step 4:The bullfighter receives applause and awards,or abuse,cushions and other things.Step 5:The ring is cleaned up.Organizational Structure35/53Organizational StructureNow,can you summarize the pattern of process description in Sample 2?3636/53Organizational StructureOn the whole,Sample 2 follows a similar pattern of organization to Sample 1 in the way it describes the process from beginning to end.37In such a pattern,the writer may conveniently structure his paragraph(s)by the steps as they actually happen.Within this framework,transitional devices are often used to ensure a smooth flow from one step to the next.However,Sample 2 is not as completely a description of a process as Sample 1 in that sentences of explanation or classification are added here and there to further clarify the procedure.37/53Linking DevicesRead the following two paragraphs and answer the questions.3838/53Passage A Christmas is drawing near,and I prepare buying cards.Money is the question for a high school student like me.Counting the money in my pocket,I ask myself the same question again and again:“How many cards can I buy and shall I buy?”And I start hunting from shop to shop.Faced with a great number of colorful cards,I feel puzzled by questions:“Which cards shall I buy?”“Will he or she like the card?”and“Is the card suitable for him or her?”Its often hard work both to make myself satisfied and to please my friends.When I decide on something,however,it should be neither too expensive nor too bad.My money and time go away with the coming of Christmas.Cards do help to express my warm wishes and truthful blessings to all my friends.3939/53Passage B Whenever Christmas is drawing near,I begin to prepare buying cards.Money is the first question for a high school student like me.Counting the money in my pocket,I ask myself the same question again and again:“How many cards can I buy and shall I buy?”And then I start hunting from shop to shop.Faced with a great number of colorful cards,I feel puzzled by some other questions:“Which cards shall I buy?”“Will he or she like the card?”and“Is the card suitable for him or her?”Its often hard work both to make myself satisfied and to please my friends.When I decide on something finally,however,it should be neither too expensive nor too bad.In this way,my money and time go away with the coming of Christmas,but anyhow,cards do help to express my warm wishes and truthful blessings to all my friends.4040/53Linking DevicesQuestions:1.What topics do the paragraphs mainly deal with?2.Which paragraph is easier to understand?4141/53Linking DevicesQuestions:1.What topics do the paragraphs mainly deal with?Both paragraphs deal with the same topic:buying Christmas cards.422.Which paragraph is easier to understand?Paragraph B is easier to understand.42/53Linking DevicesQuestions:3.What makes this particular paragraph easier to understand?4.What pattern of organization can be identifi
