2） 理清故事的脉络

a、以地点为线索

以地点为线索最为典型的可以说是A Tale of Two Cities， Two Cities指的是London和Paris，所以，只要学生找出分别发生在伦敦和巴黎这两个城市的事情，整个故事的脉络就一目了然了。

b、以时间为线索

这是理清故事脉络最常用最快捷的方法，尤其是在阅读长篇小说时。在A Tale of Two Cities的练习中就有一道题：Draw a timeline for the most important events in the story.阅读文章后学生找出以下一些重要事件：

1757 Dr Mannette was thrown in prison.

1767 Dr Mannette wrote an account about the bad bahaviour of Darney’s uncle. 1776 Lucie Mannette married Charles Darney.

1789 The French Revolution started.
