Inspiration
1. Why didn’t the author put “however” at the beginning of sentence one
It is used to echo “a big challenge” at the end of last paragraph for better transition
in passage progression.
2.what is the function of the transitional word “but” in the paragraph
Big challenges, however, can sometimes lead to great solutions. In the 1950s, the Egyptian government wanted to build a new dam across the Nile in order to control floods, produce electricity, and supply water to more farmers in the area. But the proposal led to protests. Water from the dam would likely damage a number of temples and destroy cultural relics that were an important part of Egypt’ s cultural heritage. After listening to the scientists who had studied the problem, and citizens who lived near the dam, the government turned to the United Nations for help in 1959.
To list the conflict of the advantages(pros)and disavantages(cons)of building the new dam.
advantages(prons) disadvantages(cons)
a） to control floods
c) to supply water to more farmers
b) to produce electricity
d) would likely damage many temples
e) would destroy cultural relics
1. Can you sort out UN’s specific ways to solve the problem with a mind map
A committee was established to limit damage to the Egyptian buildings and prevent the loss of cultural relics. The group asked for contributions from different departments and raised funds within the international community. Experts investigated the issue, conducted several tests, and then made a proposal for how the buildings could be saved. Finally, a document was signed, and the work began in 1960.

Which one is the topic sentence
The first sentence is the topic sentence.
What type of details is used to support the author’s idea
A. Facts B. Examples C. Explanation
What’s the use of “not only…but also…” structure in sentence two
It is a partial inversion which is to highlight and to emphasize the
right way to protect cultural relics.
When the project ended in 1980, it was considered a great success. Not only had the countries found a path to the future that did not run over the relics of the past, but they had also learnt that it was possible for countries to work together to build a better tomorrow.
C
What is the spirit of the Aswan Dam project
International cooperation.
What rhetorical device is used in the last sentence What’s the function
The final syllables of words “nation” and “solution” rhyme. It is to create a strong rhythm and rhythmic flow to the ending part that facilitates memorization.
What inspiration do we get from the last paragraph
In the time of globalization, we live in the global village. That’s why we need international team work when needed. At present, fighting Covid-19 is a good example of this.
The spirit of the Aswan Dam project is still alive today. Perhaps the best example is shown by UNESCO, which runs a programme that prevents world cultural heritage sites around the world from disappearing. If a problem seems too difficult for a single nation, the global community can sometimes provide a solution.
