二.IT
聽了上面的句子,你或許已經(jīng)注意到 it 的用法,比方 "是作練習(xí)的時候了." 這句 話英文可以這樣說: It's time to do the exercises. 再舉一個例子,"是他們賣房子 的時候了", 或是 "他們該賣房子了" 這句英文可以這樣說: It's time for them to sell their house.
現(xiàn)在我們作一組練習(xí), 學(xué)學(xué)這種說法, 練習(xí)的內(nèi)容都跟凱特的父母應(yīng)該退休有 關(guān)系, 比方他們搬到暖和一點的地方去享受老年生活等等. 練習(xí)的作法是老師 先念一個句子, 接著老師念一個詞組, 比方 "退休" retire,"找房地產(chǎn)代理人"find a real estate agent, "搬到熱帶地區(qū)" move to a tropical area 等等, 學(xué)生就把他聽 到的詞組代換到原來的句子里.在學(xué)生作練習(xí)的時候, 請你也一起作.

三.IT'S ABOUT TIME
現(xiàn)在我們學(xué)習(xí) It's about time 的用法. 這句話可以用來表示某件事總算發(fā)生了, 比方你等人等了半天, 這個人終于來了, 你就說: It's about time. 意思就是 "你 總算來了!" 有的時候 It's about time. 也有催促人快點作某件事的意思, 比方 你的朋友忙了半天, 一直沒時間吃飯, 你就說 It's about time that you eat. 意 思就是 "你也該吃飯了." 現(xiàn)在我們作一組練習(xí), 學(xué)習(xí)用 It's about time. 催促別人作某件事情. 練習(xí)的內(nèi) 容都跟凱特的父母有關(guān)系的. 練習(xí)的作法是老師用剛才學(xué)過的句型提出一個 問題, 比方 Is it time for them to move? 你就肯定的回答說: Yes, it's about time that they move. 現(xiàn)在我們開始作練習(xí). 練習(xí)里的詞匯都是我們剛才學(xué)過的.每 作完一句就請你聽老師念正確答案.

四.IT TAKES TIME TO
下面我們學(xué)習(xí)用 It takes time 加上 to 再加上動詞詞組來表示作某件事情需要 時間. 比方 "適應(yīng)新環(huán)境需要時間." 這句話英文可以這樣說: It takes time to adapt to the new environment.
現(xiàn)在我們作一組代換練習(xí), 學(xué)學(xué)這種說法, 練習(xí)的內(nèi)容是說到凱特的父母搬到 南部去之后需要花時間作的事情, 比方適應(yīng)新的生活方式, 熟悉新社區(qū)等等.
在這組練習(xí)里你還可以學(xué)到一些有用的詞, 比方 "重新安頓下來" resettle, "老 年人俱樂部" the senior citizens club. "氣候" climate 等等. 現(xiàn)在我們開始作代 換練習(xí),每作完一句就請你聽老師念正確答案.
M: It takes time to adapt to the new environment.
M: resettle
F: It takes time to resettle.
M: become familiar with local community
F: It takes time to become familiar with the local community.
M: join the senior citizens' club
F: It takes time to join the senior citizens' club.
M: get used to a different climate
F: It takes time to get used to a different climate.
M: adapt to the new life style
F: It takes time to adapt to the new life style.
下面我們換一個方式作練習(xí). 這次老師提出問題, 比方 "他們花了多少時間才 重新安頓下來?" How much time did it take for them to resettle? 接著老師說:
"一段時間" a period of time, 你就肯定的回答說: "他們花了一段時間才重新安 頓下來." It took them a period of time to resettle. 現(xiàn)在我們開始作練習(xí), 每作完 一句, 就請你聽老師念正確答案.
