Unit 5
When work is a pleasure
PART 1
Understanding and Learning Overview This unit centers on
the topic of work-an indispensable part of individual lives. Work
may
serve
different
purposes
and
have
different
meanings
to
different
people.
Text
A
argues,
by
differentiating
among
work,labor,and
play,that
interest
and
enjoyment
in
work
are
important for the benefit of both individuals and society. Text B,
by telling us a story of a shoemaker and the author, stimulates
thoughts
on
building
a
tradition
of
working
with
pride,
self-esteem, and responsibility. All of these elements, as shown
in both texts, cannot be achieved in a job that is done merely for
the sake of money.
Concerning
the
writing
style,
Text
A
is
developed
mainly
by
means
of
contrasts,
which
are
effectively
used
to
highlight,
point
by
point,
the
differences
between
workers
and
laborers.
