第三部分：課程

1．DESCRIBING THIN 描述事物
我們請別人描述一個事物，提問時常常用like這個詞。得到的回答往往是It's+形容詞，或單用形容詞：
What's the new supermarket/it like?
-It's big．
-Big．
也可以用下面這個句型請別入描述事物：
Tell me about the new supermarket. ，
如果想進一步了解情況，就說：
Tell me more about it.
2．DESCRIBING PEOPLE 描述人物
用like提問，請對方提供他人的情況，有兩種問法：
a) What's John like?
（通常是指他的性格，但有時也可以指他的外表。）
He's nice.（指性格）
He's slim.（指外表）
b) What does John Look like?（只指他的外表）
He's dark.
其他動詞也可以套此句型：
What does it SOUND like?
What does it FEEL like?
What does it TASTE like?
3．COMPARING 比較
It's bigger than the old one.*
It's cheaper than the old one.
It's more modern than the old one.
It's more convenient than the old one.
It's better ** than the old one.
It's twice as big as the old one.
It's three times as big as...
以上所舉各例只是比較等級的概概。要知詳細內容，請參閱語法書。
*The old one 這里的one用來代替 supermarket。英語里經常用one代替上文提到過的名詞。
The new supermarket is big.
The old one was small.
**Better是good的比較級形式，其最高綴形式是best。

PRONUNCIATION CORNER

注意： ’s用作簡略式時有兩種情況：
She's nice. (’s=is)
She's got fair hair.(’s=has)

語音練習：

What's he like?
What's she like?
這兩個問句說得很快時聽起來很相似，請注意區別What's he like?中的[s]和What's she like?中的[ʃ]。

廣播中尚有下列內容：

1．超級市場：大型商場，出售食品和其他物品。購物時顧客從貨架上挑選好要買的東西，然后在出口處交款。 ．
2．Barbara和John：這兩人互相談了對方的特點，你聽了以后對他們會有進一步的了解。
3．High和tall的區別：tall用于人；high用于物。
4．Good在不同的上下文有不同的含意：The supermarket's good. （我喜歡這家超級市場，這個地方不錯。）
The child's good.（這孩子表現好。）
Good! I've finished!（我為此感到高興。）
Have a good day.（希望對方痛痛快快地玩一天。）
