I guess this also depends on what the "Advanced Reading Skills" lessons talks about, but don't think of it as "really hard"! Work on one word, one phrase, one sentence, and you'll start making progress. =)
In general, when translating, the first thing you'll have to do is to understand the paragraph, but you're right, this isn't that easy a paragraph to translate. You could use an English dictionary, or a bilingual dictionary (http://www.nciku.com<span>is good for English-Chinese) to help you. While you're doing this, try to pick out important words and translate them first, and see if you could understand what each sentence means. </span>
<span>Sometimes, words may have multiple meanings or be used as metaphors - for example, "amputated" means "having been cut off", but in your 2nd sentence, it means that the poet should not be condemned and criticised to the point where he is treated as having no value. </span>
<span>Finally, after you've translated the text, don't forget to read it to check if it makes sense in the language you're using - and if it makes for smooth reading!</span>
False. you want to give good evidence otherwise you'd be giving the weakest information and the first body is what makes the reader want to read the persuasive essay. its to persuade them and get their attention.
I think it is, of intrest
In my opinion, the sentences that correctly use quotations are:
<span>2) Swift asserts that whoever finds “a fair, cheap and easy method” for solving the overwhelming issue of poverty in England would deserve to have “his statue set up for a preserver of the nation.” The author quotes chosen parts of Swift's narrative with correct punctuation.
</span><span>4) Swift explains that his proposal would bring relief to impoverished parents because they would “be rid of the charge of maintaining them after the first year.” The author quotes a part of the narrative.
5) “This would be a great inducement to marriage, which all wise nations have either encouraged by rewards, or enforced by laws and penalties,” writes Swift about his proposal. The author quotes an entire sentence as direct speech.
</span>
The first example isn't correct because the whole sentence is in quotation marks. The third one isn't correct either because there is no quotation; it is just a paraphrase.
