Unit 9 Woody Allen's Contribution to Cinema
Summarize the main points in the reading and the lecture

Woody Allen is undeniably one of the greatest Americanauteurs; his films carry a unique signature that makes his comicpersonae easily distinguishable from those in other Hollywoodmovies. In most of his films, the major personae exhibit neuroticdisposition, and are frequently anxiety-ridden. Very often, thosecharacters behave like schlemiels who undergo some sort ofspiritual awakening or personal transformation throughentanglements in relationships. With this comic portrayal, Allenpresents philosophical issues in humorous ways, a theatricalscheme that he has developed since his early career as a stand-up
comedian in Broadway in the 1960s.

Performing as stand-up comedian has exerted a substantialinfluence on his films, many of which are seemingly autobiographic,the most quintessential being Annie Hall (1977), which won 4Academy Awards in 1978, including Best Actress for Diane Keaton,Best Script, Best Director and Best Picture, and was voted thefunniest screenplay ever written by the Writers Guild of America in2015. Although often categorized as a romantic comedy, Annie Hallactually breaks many traditions of this genre due to theexperimental style, non-linear narrative akin to stream ofconsciousness, and the lack of a felicitous ending. As the storyabout the neurotic couple, Alvy and Annie, unfolds, viewers learnthat it’s not really about Alvy’s lament on why the relationshipends, but on the perpetual loneliness of human existence.

Regarding the experimental nature of Annie Hall, Allen employedseveral unconventional visual techniques, such as split screens,animation, subtitles indicating the main characters’ thoughts tocontradict the onscreen dialogues, and the protagonist’s directaddress to the audience.

新托福寫作包含了兩種形式的測驗模式即「獨立題型」和「整合題型」。獨立題型是傳統的看完一個題目段落後，撰寫一篇約300字左右的英文作文，而整合篇則涉及了閱讀、聽力和寫作三項技能，考生會需要先閱讀一小段文章，緊接著聽一段講座，最後根據聽力和閱讀的內容撰寫一篇文章。後者對於考生來說可能比較需要時間去適應。整合題的關鍵點在於聽力部分，所以也可以多加強記筆記的部分。

在獨立題型中，作者在回答內容中加入了暢銷書籍內容，能夠大幅提升考生湊字數、改善語句redundant等問題。考生在某些時候因為不知道要寫些什麼，在無形中又寫了好幾句其實跟上句內容重複或相似的概念，又或者是論點太general且無說服力，這些都會影響考生考到一定分數的寫作成績。此外，書籍中在獨立篇加入了單句筆譯（中譯英），在整合篇加入了口譯（中譯英），這些都能協助考生聽懂聽力、口說和寫作測驗中的講座內容，掌握更複雜的句式讓文句表達更多樣，以及強化口語測驗中的表達能力。
