TIMES BY DICKENS

Tom, have you anything to tell me? If ever you loved me in your life, and have anything concealed from everyone besides, tell it to me.

'I don't know what you mean, Louisa. You have been dreaming' 'my dear brother:' she laid her hand down on his pillow, and her hair flowed over him as if she would hide him from every one but herself: 'is there nothing that you have to tell me? Is there nothing you can tell me, if you will? You can tell nothing that will change me. O Tom, tell me the truth.'

‘I don't know what you mean, Louisa!'

As you lie here alone, my dear, in the melancholy night, so you must lie somewhere one night, what even I, if I am living then, shall have left you. As I am here beside you, barefoot, un- clothed, undistinguishable in darkness, so must I lie through all the night of my decay, until I am dust. In the name of that time, Tom, tell me the truth now?' “What is it you want to know?

'You may be certain:' in the energy of her love she took him to her bosom as if he were a child: ' that I will not reproach you. You may be certain that I will be compassionate and true to you. You may be certain that I will save you at whatever cost. O Tom, have you nothing to tell me? Whisper very softly. Say only "yes," and I shall understand you!

She turned her ear to his lips, but he remained doggedly silent. 'Not a word, Tom?'

'How can I say yes, or how can I say no, when I don't know what you mean? Louisa, you are a brave, kind girl; worthy I begin to think of a better brother than I am. But I have nothing more to say. Go to bed, go to bed.'

'You are tired,' she whispered presently, more in her usual way. 'Yes, I am quite tired out.'

The merits and

drawbacks of the

grammar translation

method are:

The merits of the GTM:① Translating from the target language to the native

language help the students to understand.

② the grammatical rules help the students to read

and to Produce sentences.

③ By applying this method, it will give the students

the ability to read literature of the target

language.

④ Reduced Teacher Stress

The demerits of the GTM:① Learning second language by using this method

will make students think in their native language

instead of thinking in the Second language.

② It emphasis on reading and writing and eliminate

listening and speaking, which is as important as

the other skills.

③ Knowing a large number of grammatical rules

can not ensure that students can use them

appropriately in real communicative situation.

④ Learner Motivation and Participation
