PART III - The lesson
1. DESCRIBING THINGS 描述事物
我們請(qǐng)別人描述一個(gè)事物,提問(wèn)時(shí)常常用like這個(gè)詞.得到的回答往往是It's+形容詞,或單用形容詞.
What's the new supermarket/it like?
- It's big.
- Big.
也可以用下面這個(gè)句型請(qǐng)別人描述事物:
Tell me about the new supermarket.
如果想進(jìn)一步了解情況,就說(shuō):
Tell me more about it.
2. DESCRIBING PEOPLE 描述事物
用like提問(wèn),請(qǐng)對(duì)方提供他人的情況,有兩種問(wèn)法:
a) What's John like?
(通常是指他的性格,但有時(shí)也可以指他的外表)
He's nice.(指性格)
He's slim.(指外表)
b) What does John LOOK like?(只指他的外表)
He's dark.
其他動(dòng)詞也可以套此句型:
What does it SOUND like?
What does it FEEL like?
What does it TASTE like?
3. COMPARING 比較
It's bigger than the old one.
It's cheaper than the old one.
It's more modern than the old one.
It's more convenient than the old one.
It's better than the old one.
twie as big as the old one.
It's{three times as big as...
以上所舉各例只是比較等級(jí)的梗概。要知詳細(xì)內(nèi)容, 請(qǐng)參閱語(yǔ)法書(shū)。
The old one這里的one用來(lái)代替supermarket。 英語(yǔ)里經(jīng)常用one代替上文提到過(guò)的名詞。
The new supermarket is big.
The old one was small.
** better是good的比較級(jí)形式,其最高級(jí)形式是best。
注意: 's用作簡(jiǎn)略式時(shí)有兩種情況:
She's nice. She's got fair hair.
('s=is) ('s =has)
廣播中尚有下列內(nèi)容:
1. 超級(jí)市場(chǎng):大型商場(chǎng),出售食品和其他物品.購(gòu)物時(shí)顧客從貨 架上挑選好要買的東西,然后在出口處交款.
2. Barbara和John:這兩人互相談了對(duì)方的特點(diǎn),你聽(tīng)了以 后對(duì)他們會(huì)有進(jìn)一步的了解.
3. High和tall的區(qū)別: tall用于人;high用于物.
4. Good在不同的上下文有不同的含意:
The supermarket's good.(我喜歡這家超級(jí)市場(chǎng),這個(gè) 地方不錯(cuò).)
The child's good. (這孩子表現(xiàn)好)
Good!I've finished!(我為此感到高興.)
Have a good day.(希望對(duì)方痛痛快快地玩一天.)

PROGRAMME 6
PART I - The Dialogue
我們的記者Geoff Howard訪問(wèn)兩位住在大橋飯店附近的居民。飯店坐落在住宅區(qū)。飯店里有個(gè)樂(lè)隊(duì),到了晚上就演奏。有的居民喜歡這種音樂(lè);有的居民感到討厭。這段對(duì)話在廣播里分三部分播放。
GEOFF:
We're talking about live music at the Bridge Hotel.
(問(wèn))Jean,what do you think of live music at the Bridge Hotel?
JEAN:
Well,in my opinion,it's the wrong place for live music.
GEOFF:
Why is that?
JEAN:
The hotel's in a residential area.
GEOFF:
Paul,how do you feel about this?
PAUL:
If you want my opinion,I think Jean Thomas is reacting too strongly.Many people in the area need somewhere to go.And they like the music at the Bridge Hotel.
GEOFF:
But rock'n roll's noisy,isn't it?
JEAN:
Right!
PAUL:
That's true,but the band stops at ten o'clock.
JEAN:
But it's very noisy till then.
GEOFF:
Well,thank you,Jean and Paul,for giving us your opinions.
JEAN & PAUL:
Thanks.
