三.MAKE UP
下面我們練習(xí) make up, m-a-k-e u-p, make up 的用法. 這個(gè)詞組可以用來(lái)表示 "和好如初". 現(xiàn)在老師用這個(gè)詞組提出一些有關(guān)南希跟史蒂夫的問(wèn)題,比方"如 果他們不彼此怨恨,他們會(huì)不會(huì)和好如初呢?" Would they make up if they didn't resent each other? 然后老師提出 yes 或是 no, 學(xué)生就根據(jù)他所聽(tīng)到的作肯定 或否定的答覆. 在學(xué)生作練習(xí)的時(shí)候請(qǐng)你也一起作.

現(xiàn)在我們作一組代換練習(xí)學(xué)學(xué)這個(gè)常用語(yǔ). 練習(xí)的作法是老師念一個(gè)句子, 接 著老師念一個(gè)詞組, 學(xué)生就把詞組代換到原來(lái)的句子里. 這組練習(xí)里的句子都 是說(shuō)到南希決定怎么樣處理她的婚姻和家庭問(wèn)題. 現(xiàn)在請(qǐng)你注意聽(tīng), 并且跟學(xué) 生一起作練習(xí).
