五.WISH

現在我們來學習怎么用 wish, w-i-s-h, wish.這個字跟過去式從句一起用可以表 示無法實現的愿望. 比方在今天這一課的對話里珍妮表示希望到中國去,可惜 不能. 那句話英文是: I wish I could go to China.

下面我們來練習這些句子, 請你注意聽男老師念普通否定句, 然后請你改用 wish 把珍妮無法實現的愿望說出來. 每作完一句就請你聽正確答案.

M: I can't sing.

F: I wish I could sing.

M: I can't use chopsticks.

F: I wish I could use chopsticks.

M: I can't go to China.

F: I wish I could go to China.

M: I don't know Chinese.

F: I wish I knew Chinese.

M: I don't know Bob's parents.

F: I wish I knew Bob's parents.

M: I don't have money to go to China.

F: I wish I had money to go to China.

凡是句子的動詞是 am, are 或是 is 的時候如果跟 wish 一起用, 那么就一律改 成 were. w-e-r-e, were. 下面就是一些例子, 還是請你跟剛才一樣練習.

M: I am not rich.

F: I wish I were rich.

M: I am not tall.

F: I wish I were tall.

M: I am not strong.

F: I wish I were strong.

M: She is not a professor.

F: She wishes she were a professor.

M: She is not at home.

F: She wishes she were at home.

六.聽短文回答問題

現在我們來作聽力測驗. 首先還是請你聽一段文章,內容是說大學秋季班結束 了, 學生已經開始過寒假, 有的學生回家了, 有的學生到紐約或是舊金山去玩 等等.

請你特別注意聽文章里的現在完成式句子.

The students at the university have finished their final exams. The fall semester has ended and the students have begun their semester break. They have three weeks to relax before the spring semester begins.

The first weekend the weather has been good. It has been warm and it hasn't rained. Most students have left the university for a vacation. Some have gone to famous places like New York or San Francisco to see the sights. Others have gone to the beaches in California and Florida.

Many students' home are not near the university. They have taken this chance to visit their families at home. Jenny has invited a friend to come to her home to meet her family.

She has also spent some time with her old friends from high school.

等一會兒我會請英文老師把整段文章再念一遍. 現在請你注意聽今天要測驗 的三個問題.

第一個問題是:

M: How long is the break between the semesters?

第二個問題是:

M: What have students done during the semester break?
