一、学前阅读。看您有哪些词汇语法障碍：
People are always talking about 'the problem of youth'. If there is one -- which I take leave to doubt -- then it is older people who create it, not the young themselves. Let us get down to fundamentals and agree that the young are after all human beings -- people just like their elders.
请结合音标“音形结合”记单词，培养“见词能读、听音能写”的能力。
take leave to 向... 告别
get down to sth 认真处理；认真做
fundamental [fʌndə'ment(ə)l] n. 基本原理；基本原则
二、学中理解。学习词汇语言知识点：
1.People are always talking about 'the problem of youth'.
人们总是在谈论“青年问题”。
(这是个简单句，现在进行时与always连用，表示“经常做某事，总是做某事”。)
2.If there is one -- [which I take leave to doubt] -- then it is older people who create it, not the young themselves.
如果这个问题存在的话 -- 请允许我对此持怀疑态度 -- 那么，这个问题是由老年人而不是青年人造成的。
([which I take leave to doubt]是个定语从句做插入语，which指先行词one，one又是指前一句的 'the problem of youth'. then后面是个it is ...... who/that......表强调的句式，表示“是......而不是......”的意思。
3.Let us get down to fundamentals ｜and agree {that the young are after all human beings -- people just like their elders.}
让我们着眼一些基本事实：承认青年人毕竟是人----就像他们长辈一样的人。
(get down to和agree是并列谓语，接同一个宾语从句，破折号后是说明解释成分。)
三、学后复习。在理解的基础上背诵默写过关才算是真正的学会，背诵默写就是听说读写综合训练。
不要担心背过默过又忘了，背默就没用。像吃了上顿还要吃下顿一样，吸收了词汇、短语、句子结构这样的语言知识就是最大的收获！
