四.詞組Ought to

下面我們來學一個新詞組 ought to. 這個詞組的意思等于我們以前學過的助動 詞 should, s-h-o-u-l-d, should, 意思就是勸人應該作某一件事.比方有一句話: "你 應該在銀行停一下", 英文可以這樣說: You should stop at the bank. 也可以這樣

說: You ought to stop at the bank.

現在我們來作練習. 由老師先用 should 作一個句子,請學生用 ought to 代替. 請 你在學生念句子的時候跟著重復. 現在我們開始:

M: Nancy should see a doctor.

F: Nancy ought to see a doctor.

M: Kate should stop at the bank.

F: Kate ought to stop at the bank.

M: Henry should get in shape again.

F: Henry ought to get in shape again.

M: Peter should take out the garbage.

F: Peter ought to take out the garbage.

M: Linda should save some of her weekly allowance.

F: Linda ought to save some of her weekly allowance.

M: Mary should clean up her room.

F: Mary ought to clean up her room.

五.連接詞 Because

好了, 現在我們來學這一課要教的最后一個語法, 也就是連接詞because "因為" 的用法. 要是有人問你: "為什么人們給市政府工作呢?" Why do people work for city governments? 你可以這樣回答: 因為市政府工作人員退休時候有不少退休 金. Because city workers get a good pension when they retire.

下面這組練習, 是由老師根據這一課開頭那段說到南希生病的對話提出幾個問 題, 請學生用 because 來回答問題. 請你注意聽.

M: Why does Nancy have to go home?

F: She has to go home because she needs to rest.

M: Why should Nancy go back to bed?

F: She should go back to bed because she is sick.

M: Why does Nancy have to stop at the drugstore?

F: She has to stop because she wants to buy some aspirin.

M: Why doesn't Nancy drive to work?

F: She doesn't drive to work because she doesn't have a car.

下面這組練習是由老師提出一個問題. 接著他再念一個短句, 請你用 because 跟這個短句來回答問題. 在你回答之后請你注意聽正確答案. 好, 現在我們就開

始:

M: Why do you study English?

M: It's useful.

F: I study English because it's useful.

M: Why is he listening to radio?

M: There is a good program.

F: He is listening to radio because there is a good program.

M: Why can't we play tennis now?

M: It's raining.

F: We can't because it's raining.

M: Why didn't she go to the party with us?

M: She had to work.

F: She didn't because she had to work.

六.聽短文回答問題

今天要聽的文章是說到亨利和南希都是市政府工作人員, 談到了他們兩個人工 作的性質.

請你注意聽:

Many Americans work for city governments. There are office workers, fire fighters, police officers and public school teachers. Most city workers might not earn a lot of money but when they retire they get a good pension. Henry and Nancy are employees of the city of Seattle. He is a fire fighter. He is on duty eight hours a day. During his shift he eats and sleeps at the firehouse because the fire fighters have to be ready to answer an alarm. Nancy is a typist in Henry's office. She works from 9 o'clock in the morning to 5 o'clock in the afternoon. She works five days a week, Monday through Friday. Her job is to type reports of fire.

等一下我們還會把剛才那段文章用慢速度再念一遍. 現在我們先把今天要測驗 的三個問題用慢速度念一遍給你聽.

第一個問題是:

M: What are some of the city government jobs?

第二個問題是:

M: Why do people work for city governments?

最后一個問題是:

剛才那三個問題你都聽懂了嗎? 等一會兒我們還會再念一遍給你聽. 現在請你 先聽老師用慢速度再把剛才那段文章念一次.
