资源简介 (共20张PPT)Unit 3 Diverse CulturesReading for writingDescribe a place with distinctive cultural identitydistinctive adj. (特征/性格/外表)独特的, 特别的, 与众不同的)Background Knowledge19世纪末时,中国移民像“卖猪仔”似的被运来加州修筑太平洋铁路和淘金,对当地的经济建设贡献厥伟,但他们却与义裔移民、黑人、穷白人、水手一块儿被当时的政府视为“次等公民”,并规定他们居住在特定区域内以免“污染”其它地方。他们只好在以都板街(Grant Ave.)为中心的小范围内活动,后来这里又迁入了新的移民,发展至今,便成了眼前的“唐人街”,也是亚洲之外最大的华人社区。旧金山的唐人街是海外最具中国传统风格的唐人街,最有特色的唐人街。唐人街长宽约1公里,共占16条街口,入口在格兰特街和布斯特街交会处,大门是一座中式牌楼,绿瓦盖顶,上书孙中山的“天下为公”4个大字。穿过牌楼,走进唐人街,你会发现这里的建筑、布置与电影中上世纪80年代的香港非常相像,充耳所闻的大多是粤语,会感觉非常亲切。Scan the text and know more about the Chinatown in San Francisco.What are the famous tourist sites in the Chinatown of San Francisco Dragon Gate, Tin How Temple, Bank ofCanton, and Portsmouth Square.What else can you do there We can explore the interesting sights,experience traditional Chinese culture, goshopping, eat Chinese food, and so on.Who are the target readers What is the writer’s purpose of writing this text Read and answer:Task 1Task 2Study the structure of the text.What’s the main idea of the passage A.
