10 Detailed reading1 The Light of Depression Alice Johnson
Twice, I have seen my father cry. The first time, I was 12, and my sister, Jenny, was 14. She was diagnosed with juvenile diabetes and needed further testing. When we arrived at the hospital, my dad walked around to her side of the car, gathered her into his arms and held her. None of us understood what was happening to my sister’s body, but when I heard my strong dad’s voice break with tears, I knew we were on a new and unexpected path. 1

11 Detailed reading2 Detailed reading Almost 10 years later, in the fall following my college graduation, I was the one my father gathered into his arms. At 22, I was diagnosed with clinical depression and voluntarily admitted to a psychiatric hospital. At a time in my life when the world was supposed to be opening up to me, I found myself retreating. Apathetic, uncaring, tired, and with no particular vision for any future, I drifted into a world without hope. My family and I knew I needed help. 2

12 Detailed reading3 Detailed reading As a child, I had great passion for life. The simplest of pleasures brought unexplainable joy. I seldom demonstrated a melancholic personality. In fact, my parents learned that birthdays, Christmas and any reason for celebration would find me in excitement. I loved life, and I loved being alive. When depression struck, I was dropped into a world where wearing my own skin was foreign and ill-fitting. 3

13 Detailed reading4 Detailed reading My mom says that one of the hardest days of her life was the day I checked into the hospital. My personal belongings were rummaged through, and I headed down the long hallway to doctors and a treatment team that became my “family” for the next month. Her drive home, leaving me behind, was heartbreaking. She was left to wonder and guess at why her daughter was in so much pain and why she couldn’t fix it this time. 4

14 Detailed reading5 Detailed reading I was numb, trying to see through a haze that had settled upon what once was vivid and bright. All color had seeped from a life that used to hold such joy. Some people didn’t understand my depression. They regarded it as a bad case of the Sunday evening blues believing that if I tried harder and stopped feeling sorry for myself, I would “get better.” But I wasn’t just dealing with apathy toward routine. I couldn’t remedy being sick with a strenuous run, a good movie, or simply the passing of time. Depression transcended my circumstances and invaded my soul. It was more like a day terror — like waking up to a nightmare. Clinical depression painted my world black while screaming quietly that I was worthless. 5

15 Detailed reading6 Detailed reading I remember driving home from work the week before I checked into the hospital. My co-workers hadn’t noticed any difference in my performance or behavior. I was great at keeping up appearances. I was good at performing. But that evening, I recall wishing I weren’t alive, wishing my car would turn down an empty road and I could disappear. Upon arriving home, I headed straight for my room and slipped under my covers, hoping to sleep. I wanted to escape life because it hurt to breathe. 6

16 Detailed reading7 Detailed reading By the end of my first week at the hospital, I had made up my mind to leave. It wasn’t working. I packed my bags, headed to the front desk, and announced that I was calling my parents to come and pick me up. But my treatment team told me I needed to stay. Defeated and scared, I returned to my room, unpacked my bags and cried myself to sleep. It was time to get honest with myself. 7

17 Detailed reading8 Detailed reading I was angry. Me, happy Alice, with so much going for her Stripped of the world’s accolades, it didn’t matter what school I had attended, where I had vacationed, what awards I had won. It didn’t matter who I knew, didn’t know, or thought I knew. What mattered to those surrounding me was that I was honest about my feelings. They didn’t have to be pretty. I didn’t have to look good. I could just be — and that was enough. 8

18 Detailed reading9 Detailed reading It was the kindness, sympathy, love and truth demonstrated in the hospital that began unlocking my wounds, hurts and distorted thinking. I was learning from the worn lives around me. Lives I would have once felt pity for or wanted to distance myself from. They were the ones who possessed strength and courage. They had suffered abuse, neglect, addiction and illnesses. They felt misplaced and forgotten; they were told they didn’t matter. I came from a family filled with love, but as I and others in my hospital “family” shared our suffering, I found I needed their love. 9

19 Detailed reading10 Detailed reading Getting help and getting rid of the junk cluttering my mind were part of getting better. Hope came gradually, and with small steps slowly returned feeling and clarity. I was changing. My thinking was being altered. I was given a truer sense of who I was: a young woman who needed to be loved for herself, not for what she could offer — not for how she could make you feel. Being honest in the hidden places of my heart. Taking personal responsibility. And slowly, the desire to live, the courage to want to live, began to return. Once truth reveals deception, the lie can no longer deceive unless we choose to let it. 10

20 Detailed reading11 Detailed reading A year and a half after my release from the hospital, I drove along a country road. The moon was bright. The stars brighter. Snow gave a fresh milky coat to the trees, and the night air was full and dark. I felt so alive. I hadn’t believed there would ever be something good enough or rich enough to make up for the pain and darkness I had known. My pain had been deep. But on this quiet stretch of road, I knew it had all been worth it. I knew that life was different because of my experience. Suffering had painted color into my life, and I could be thankful. 11

21 Detailed reading1--Quesion 2
Paragraph 2 Question The writer stresses at the very beginning that when her sister was suffering from juvenile diabetes, her father cried bitterly for the first time. When do you think her father cried for the second time? It is not difficult to infer that the writer’s father cried for the second time when the writer was diagnosed with clinical depression.

22 Detailed reading1--Quesion 3
Paragraph 3 Question Would you describe the writer’s personality as a child before she was seized with depression? As a child, the writer had a great passion for life and enjoyed being alive. The simplest of pleasures brought her great joy. She seldom demonstrated a melancholic personality. Any reason for celebration would find her in great excitement.

23 Detailed reading1--Quesion 4
Paragraph 4 Question Why was the day the writer checked into the hospital considered to be one of the hardest days of her mother’s life? Leaving her daughter behind at the hospital, the author’s mother was seized with extreme sadness, feeling heart-broken. She wondered why her daughter was experiencing so much pain and couldn’t get over it this time.

24 Detailed reading1--Quesion 6
Paragraph 6 Question What is the main idea of Paragraph 6? Illustrate or exemplify it. Paragraph 6 proves how deep the writer’s depression had been before she was admitted into the hospital. While driving home from work before she was ill, she wished that she weren’t alive. When she arrived home, she had hoped to sleep and escape life because it hurt to breathe.

25 Detailed reading1--Quesion 9
Paragraph 9 Question Which part in Paragraph 9 is a sentence fragment? Why is it separated from the previous sentence? “Lives I would have once felt pity for or wanted to distance myself from” is a sentence fragment. It is separated from the foregoing sentence for emphasis.

26 Detailed reading1--Quesion 10
Paragraph 10 Question What do you know about other patients from whose worn lives the writer was learning? They were the ones who possessed strength and courage and had suffered abuse, neglect, addiction and illnesses. They felt misplaced and forgotten. They shared their suffering with the writer. Also, they helped the writer get a truer sense of who she was, see through deception and realize and grasp the truth.

27 Detailed reading1--Quesion 11.1
Paragraph 11 Questions 1) What symbolic meaning is conveyed by the bright night described at the end of the text? The exceptionally bright night with the bright moon and brighter stars symbolizes a cheerful life the writer is enjoying and a very bright future that she could look forward to.

28 Detailed reading1— Quesion 11.2
Paragraph 11 Questions 2) Why does the writer say that she could be thankful? Because her deep depression had been worth it and she benefited a lot from it. The writer had gained a wealth of experience and had been able to look at life in a new light. Suffering had painted color into her life, and rendered her life entirely different.

Vocabulary Grammar Translation Integrated skills Oral activities Writing Listening 1. The infinitive and the -ing participle as object There are verbs that can be followed either by an -ing form or by an infinitive. With some of these verbs, the choice between the two makes no difference in meaning; with others, however, different choices result in different interpretations. Here, the infinitive and the -ing participle are used as object. Verbs that are followed by -ing participle include: admit, fancy, delay, miss, involve, postpone, finish, imagine, avoid, deny, risk, practise, consider, enjoy, etc. Verbs that are followed by the infinitive include: decide, hope, pretend, deserve, promise, attempt, offer, agree, plan, aim, afford, manage, threaten, refuse, learn, fail, etc.

157 Consolidation Activities- Writing
Vocabulary Grammar Translation Integrated skills Oral activities Writing Listening Sentence Emphasis In a sentence, there are always some ideas that are more important than others, and thus should be put in important positions so as to be emphasized. The use of emphasis in individual sentences is particularly important, because it is the means by which you call the reader’s attention to the relatively important ideas in your writing. Ideas can be emphasized in following ways:

158 Consolidation Activities- Writing
Vocabulary Grammar Translation Integrated skills Oral activities Writing Listening A. Position Important ideas can be highlighted by being put in emphatic positions in the sentence. The beginning of a sentence can pull a key idea out for special attention. However, the most emphatic position in the sentence is the end, the next emphatic position at the beginning, and the least emphatic position in the middle. Example: Not emphatic: Total deafness is worse than total blindness, however, in many ways. Emphatic: Total deafness, however, is in many ways worse than total blindness.

159 Consolidation Activities- Writing
Vocabulary Grammar Translation Integrated skills Oral activities Writing Listening B. Periodic sentence Sentences differ in how tightly they subordinate related material to a main point. A loose sentence is one in which the main idea comes first, and the less important ideas or details follow. A periodic sentence, on the other hand, is one in which the main thought is held suspended until the end or near the end, when it is suddenly released. The periodic sentence is usually emphatic and conclusive because the weight of the statement falls on the long-awaited predication.

160 Consolidation Activities- Writing
Vocabulary Grammar Translation Integrated skills Oral activities Writing Listening Example: Loose: Richard Wagner became one of the most successful composers of all time in spite of the jeers of his contemporaries. Periodic: Richard Wagner, though jeered at by his contemporaries, became one of the most successful composers of all time.

161 Consolidation Activities- Writing
Vocabulary Grammar Translation Integrated skills Oral activities Writing Listening C. Climactic order The climactic order is the order that goes from the least important to the most important. Ordering by decreasing importance may result in anticlimax and eventually lead to loss of emphasis. Example: Not emphatic: The dean threatened me with failure in the course, with expulsion, and with the loss of a parking space for my car. Emphatic: The dean threatened me with the loss of a parking space for my car, with failure in the course, and with expulsion.

162 Consolidation Activities- Writing
Vocabulary Grammar Translation Integrated skills Oral activities Writing Listening D. Inversion English sentences are usually of "subject + predicate" order, which is also called the natural order. Sometimes, however, for the purpose of emphasizing some important ideas or to keep a series of sentences in good balance, the natural order can be inverted, which is called the inverted order. Example: Not emphatic: He has never been to the Great Wall. Emphatic: Never has he been to the Great Wall.

163 Consolidation Activities- Writing
Vocabulary Grammar Translation Integrated skills Oral activities Writing Listening E. Repetition Intentional repetition, which is an effective device for securing certain kinds of attention from the reader, usually greatly adds to the force of expression and helps to gain emphasis. Example: Not emphatic: We’ll work, fight for and die for freedom. Emphatic: We’ll work for freedom; we’ll fight for freedom; we’ll die for freedom.

164 Consolidation Activities- Writing
Vocabulary Grammar Translation Integrated skills Oral activities Writing Listening F. Active voice Active verbs express meanings more emphatically and vigorously when they are used in the active voice than in the passive voice. Verbs in the passive voice lack strength because their subjects receive the action instead of doing it. So sometimes in order to make sentences more emphatic, the active voice is preferable. Example: Not emphatic: No reason for her refusal to answer was given by the girl. Emphatic: The girl gave no reason for her refusal to answer.

165 Consolidation Activities- Writing

181 REMAINING POSITIVE WHEN FACING A CHRONIC ILLNESS
Text1 Text II Memorable quotes REMAINING POSITIVE WHEN FACING A CHRONIC ILLNESS Mary J. Yerkes A diagnosis of chronic illness can bring with it feelings of denial, anger and grief. But, at some point, the emotions subside and you are faced with a harsh reality — you are no longer the person you once were. Chronic illness has robbed you from your sense of identity and purpose. Do you even stand a chance of rebuilding a meaningful life? 1

182 Text2 Text II Memorable quotes According to Judy Gann — a breast cancer survivor who suffers from fibromyalgia and other autoimmune disorders — you can. She took her experience of living with chronic illness and her desire to comfort others and wrote The God of All Comfort: Devotions of Hope for Those Who Chronically Suffer. “God has transformed a shy, quiet woman into one who shares His comfort and hope with chronic illness support groups throughout the United States,” she says. 2

183 Text3 Text II Memorable quotes Mari Eronen discovered her “creative side,” after reducing her work hours due to complications from Type 1 Diabetes. “The part-time work hours may be a drain on finances, but they are definitely enriching my quality of life!” Judy and Mari have rediscovered joy and purpose in their lives, and they are not alone. Many with chronic illness have rebuilt their lives and have gone on to launch new ministries, careers and friendships. Others have developed gifts and talents they never knew they had. 3 4 5

184 Text4 Text II Memorable quotes Making this life transition yourself can be easier if you know how other sufferers of a chronic illness dealt with it. The key is to keep it in perspective. “Rebuilding or redefining normal is a long process,” explains Georgia Shaffer, a psychologist, professional speaker and life coach. “It can take years.” Given just a 2 percent chance to live in 1989 after a recurrence of breast cancer, Georgia lost her job because she was too weak to work, and her husband walked out on her. After piecing her shattered life back together, she wrote A Gift of Mourning Glories — Restoring Your Life after Loss , to serve as a guidebook to help others rebuild their lives. 6 7

185 Text5 Here are a few of her suggestions: 8
Text II Memorable quotes Here are a few of her suggestions: ● Ask important questions like, “What am I passionate about?” “What in my life can I share with others?” We sometimes abandon our “passions” for adult responsibilities. Think back to your youth and what you enjoyed doing. Rediscover your gifts and talents. Although your chronic illness may keep you from coaching your son’s 8 9 soccer team, maybe you can use your photography skills to capture those winning moments. Be creative.

186 Text6 Text II Memorable quotes ● Take calculated risks. Rebuilding your life requires that you explore unchartered territory. Sure, it might be scary to head back to college at age 35, but why not give it a shot? While you may not succeed at everything you try, the experiences will enrich your life and give you something to talk about besides your illness. ● Eliminate toxic relationships from your life. Few things are more draining than dysfunctional relationships. 10 11

187 Text7 Text II Memorable quotes People who consistently blame you for their problems, criticize your choices and discount your feelings are toxic. If being in someone’s company continually drains you, it might be a sign of an unhealthy relationship. Learn to establish healthy boundaries. ● Forgive those who fail you. Over time, your friends will fail you, co-workers will fail you — even your church will fail you. Forgive them and move on. ● Learn to choose between “best” and “good.” Your physical and emotional resources will limit your choices. Determine who and what adds meaning 12 13

188 Text8 Text II Memorable quotes to your life and invest in those relationships and activities. Not sure? Ask a friend. A fresh perspective may be just what you need. ● Share your gifts and talents. Those who suffer have a lot to contribute. It is critical to look for ways to share your gifts and talents with others in your church and the community. Volunteering builds self-esteem, contributes to feelings of value and worth, helps overcome social isolation and gives you a sense of belonging. 14 15

189 Text9 Text II Memorable quotes Rebuilding your life while living with a chronic illness can seem like a daunting task. Take heart. With a little knowledge, creativity and encouragement from others, it’s possible. 16
