第五十一課 與移民有關的詞匯
一.本課要點及示例
在這一課里, 我們學習幾個連接詞, 比方 "既然" since, "雖然" although, "可是" nevertheless, "為了要" in order to 等等. 我們還要談一談有關移民的事情.
首先我們來聽今天這一課的對話, 內容是說凱特跟她的同事比爾談到了學校 里的外國學生. 請你注意聽英文老師的發音和語調.
M: Kate, how's the new student in your class doing?
F: The kid from Haiti? He's having a rough time communicating since he doesn't speak much English. However, the other kids seem to include him pretty well.
M: Our students are used to new kids who don't speak much English since we have had so many new immigrant families move into our school district.
F: Don't I know it! This year I have had a Vietnamese, an Ethiopian, a Cuban and the kid from Haiti in my class. I spend a lot of time with them after class so that they can catch up.
M: It must have been hard for you since you have to give them special attention in order to help them.
F: It has been. Nevertheless, it's really rewarding to see them progress and make friends.
現在我們再把對話聽一遍. 請你注意聽.
M: Kate, how's the new student in your class doing?
F: The kid from Haiti? He's having a rough time communicating since he doesn't speak much English. However, the other kids seem to include him pretty well.
M: Our students are used to new kids who don't speak much English since we have had so many new immigrant families move into our school district.
F: Don't I know it! This year I have had a Vietnamese, an Ethiopian, a Cuban and the kid from Haiti in my class. I spend a lot of time with them after class so that they can catch up.
M: It must have been hard for you since you have to give them special attention in order to help them.

現在老師把對話里包含了連接詞的句子再念一遍給你聽
F: He's having a rough time since he doesn't speak much English.
F: However, the other kids seem to include him pretty well.
F: I spend a lot of time with them after class so that they can catch up.
M: You have to give them special attention in order to help them.
F: Nevertheless, it's really rewarding to see them progress and make friends.
二.SINCE
首先我們練習用 since, s-i-n-c-e, since 來表明一件事情的原因. 比方,有一句話 "他覺得別扭因為他長得跟別的孩子不同." 這句話英文可以這樣說: He feels awkward since he looks different from the other kids. 現在請你注意聽比爾提出 跟海地來的那個學生有關系的問題, 比方: Why doesn't he speak English?接著 凱特說出原因: He was never taught the language. 請你跟凱特一起這樣回答問
題: He doesn't speak Englihs because he was never taught the language.
好, 現在我們開始.
M: Why doesn't he speak English?
F: He was never taught the language.
F: He doesn't speak English since he was never taught the language.
M: Why does he have a rough time communicating?
F: He doesn't speak much English.

F: He doesn't play with the other kids since he has a rough time communicating.
M: Why does he feel awkward?
F: He looks different from the other kids.
F: He feel awkward since he looks different from the other kids.
M: Why is he behind?
F: He doesn't understand much English.
F: He's behind since he doesn't understand much English.
三.THEREFORE
下面我們練習用therefore, t-h-e-r-e-f-o-r-e,therefore來表明一件事情的結果. 比方 "他還小, 因此他會很快學好英文." 這句話可以這樣說: He's young. Therefore he'll pick up English quickly. 現在還是請你注意聽比爾提出一些跟從海地來的 那個學生有關系的問題, 比方: Will he make friends? 接著凱特說: Yes, the other kids like him. 請你跟凱特一起這樣回答: The other kids like him. Therefore he'll make friends. 現在我們開始.
M: Will he pick up English quickly?
F: Yes, he's young.
