Inquiry statement 探究说明 tànjiū shuōmíng:

Our second unit focuses on personal experiences, and how we share our experiences. Experience (体验 tǐyàn) in this unit ties to relationships. This is because our experiences, and how we talk about our experiences, depends greatly on our closeness with the people during those experiences, as well as our relationships to the people with whom we are sharing our stories about those experiences. We will look how speakers and writers express a particular point of view to foster empathy in their audience about people’s lived experiences.

Key Concepts 重大概念 zhòngdà gàiniàn:

"Perspective is the position from which we observe situations, objects, facts, ideas and opinions. Perspective may be associated with individuals, groups, cultures or disciplines. Different perspectives often lead to multiple representations and interpretations."

“Relationships are the connections and associations between properties, objects, people and ideas—including the human community’s connections with the world in which we live. Any change in relationship brings consequences—some of which may occur on a small scale, while others may be far-reaching, affecting large networks and systems such as human societies and the planetary ecosystem.”

Related Concept 相关概念 xiāngguān gàiniàn: 

Point of view: “The particular perspective brought by a composer, responder or character within a text to the text or to matters within the text.
