★Text

I have just received a letter from my brother Tim.He is in Australia.He has been there for six months.Tim is an engineer.He is working for a big firm and he has already visited a great number of different places in Australia.He ha just bought an Australian car and has gone to Alice Springs,a small town in the centre of Australia.He will soon visit Darwin.From there,he will fly to Perth.My brother has never benn abroad before,so he is finding this trip very exciting.

☆have been+in 地點(diǎn)

他已經(jīng)到北京了：He has arrived in Beijing.
他到北京一年了，就不能用arrive了。因?yàn)閍rrive是表示點(diǎn)的動(dòng)詞，不能和段時(shí)間連用。所以用我們的新句型：have been in 地點(diǎn)
He has been in Beijing for one year.

☆work in 強(qiáng)調(diào)工作的地點(diǎn)
work for 強(qiáng)調(diào)work，不是在游逛，是在工作

☆a great number of后面一定要加可數(shù)名詞復(fù)數(shù)
a lot of可加可數(shù)名詞也可加不可數(shù)名詞
它們是約等于的關(guān)系

I have a lot of/a great number of friends.
I have a lot of time.中的a lot of 就不能替換為a great number of了

☆have gone to :去了某地沒(méi)回來(lái)
have been to :曾經(jīng)去過(guò)某地，現(xiàn)在不在那個(gè)地方

☆from there:從那地方起
from既可以加時(shí)間又可以加地點(diǎn)
eg:from half past 8 to half past 11
from Beijing to Tianjin

☆fly to Perth=go to Perth by air

☆before用在句子的末尾是副詞，翻譯為“在此之前”，是現(xiàn)在完成時(shí)態(tài)的標(biāo)志。

☆find+賓語(yǔ)+形容詞做賓補(bǔ)
find trip exciting;find the room clean

注意，在本句中用的是find的進(jìn)行時(shí)態(tài)。
在收聽(tīng)外臺(tái)的廣播中經(jīng)常能聽(tīng)到find不用一般式，而用進(jìn)行式。
eg:We're finding the program very exciting.
在寫(xiě)的時(shí)候用一般式，口語(yǔ)就用進(jìn)行式

下面表示狀態(tài)、感覺(jué)、情緒、精神活動(dòng)的動(dòng)詞不可用于進(jìn)行時(shí)態(tài)：
believe doubt see hear know understand belong think consider feel look seem show mind have sound taste require possess care like hate love detest desire

★第3課關(guān)鍵句型：一般過(guò)去式。
第4課關(guān)鍵句型：現(xiàn)在完成式。
第5課將總結(jié)一般過(guò)去式和現(xiàn)在完成式的相同點(diǎn)、不同點(diǎn)，用的時(shí)候要注意聲明。
下面的幾個(gè)詞已出現(xiàn)就標(biāo)志著完成式：just,before,already
