Our
Course Books are Series of ‘Visual Pattern Block Sentence Diagram English’ using
Sentence Diagram method for beginners who understand English Grammar, and then ‘Visual
Pattern English Sentence Memory Program’ for upper standard students for
fluency, and last ‘Visual Pattern Seven Step English Book Memory Program to
give the Freeway for English Learning such as Professional Listening, Fast Reading,
Logical and persuasive Writing.
Each Book
focuses on different dimensions but most of stepwise Standard Visual Pattern English Course is consist of
seven steps, and take the following steps.
Step 1
You can read the text within
paragraph as in the standard book. In
order to get used to the sentence, Read Aloud three times, or read along three
times. If you do not understand your own language, Please consult with
teacher. In Step 2, you can read text
in each sentence. It seems to look simpler and easier.
Be careful “Verb’, which is the
balancer of the Sentence. There are only two kinds of Verbs, one is action
verb, the other is linking verb. Intransitive Verb is belongs to ‘Action Verb’
that does not the target of the Verb.
Step 2
You can read the text within
‘Highlighted Verb’ sentence. As soon as you read the sentence you can much more easily what the writer expect the
reader to do. Furthermore, you can catch
the verb has target or complements. In this step you can understand 90 % of
book contents if you keep up with verbs.
Try
to understand the sentence by focusing on Verb, not to memorize from the
beginning. But please rule 3(3 times read aloud, read along) in each step or
Drill.
Step 3
In this section you can read with
BSD Signal, whether it is blocked or not.
If any verb have not target, it should be either liking verb or action verb without target, and called as
‘Intransitive Verb.’ We have read Step 2 and known one of two kinds of verb.
Then you can brief understand Block Sentence Diagram patters.
Target of the verb, and compliment
of the verb can place on the same level of Subject and Verb. All other
functions should be placed under the horizontal line of Block Sentence Diagram.
Step 4
In this section, we are arrange
block sentence building by using brick words(noun, verb, adjective, adverb) and
mortar words( conjunction, preposition). In BSD Diagram only brick words can
stand on horizontal line in line with Verb.(Unlike Sentence Diagramming Method)
With some practice, you can automatically improve your grammar level. BSD
signal is option, for beginner it is easy to understand.
Step 5
This is the most important
backbone of English Memory Program, up until now you have learned and practiced
mainly reading and speaking practice. We call this type of learning is
“Exercise or Walking English”, which means more practice get better output even though you do not understand completely.
If you are trying to do Block
Diagramming, you need “Thinking process”, with some grammar knowledge, you can
diagram a logical, grammatical Diagram.
Do not try to jump to memorize sentence without being familiar with
sentence backbone, sentence structure diagram.
Verb is the most common and changes forms to give the facts or opinions.
And its changing form can play all round player in sentences, functioning noun,
adjective, adverb, and conjunction.
Position of Verb plays important
tones of language. The Verb always is located in the middle of sentences and
plays balancer of sentence, if the positions of Verb change, that means the
tone of languages also changed.
Step 6
Before you listen the audio,
please try to put your words in the BSD.
Do not worry about mistake !! If you know the story, my recollecting ‘Verbs’,
you can easily match Subject of the Verb, and targets or additional parts.
Any types of modifier under the
Base Line are not key factor in the sentence.
However, many writers put the prepositional noun modifiers below the
Base Line, in order to give some more information or stress. We are building Block Sentence Diagram
Building to memorize.
Step 7
In these Diagrams, Verb, conjunction, and
prepositional modifier hints have been diagrammed. Diagram Level belongs to Upper Intermediate Level
or Lower Advance Level, SSEMP BSD focus on memory, therefore, some loose
diagramming compared to conventional Sentence Diagram.
Block Sentence Diagram can apply
many design factors to make it look beautiful, too. Sometimes perfect noun plays Adverb, even though
it belongs to key words. Most of nouns which are not in right position (Noun
subject, target, compliment) role as Adverb.
