閱讀本課后的幾點“讀后感”，同大家交流下。

1. 本課中出現了try to do sth與try doing sth的兩種形式，它們的區別是：

（1）try doing 嘗試做某事；例如： I tried gardening, but didn't succeed. 我試著種果木花卉 ，但未成功。

課文中：If you do not know the word for something in the local language, or cannot make yourself understood verbally, try drawing a picture or pointing to an object.（……嘗試著畫一幅畫，或者指出一個物體）

（2）try to do 盡力做某事；例如： The police try to help that child find the way home. 警察盡力幫助那個小孩找到回家的路。

課文中：Avoid being critical; try instead to show respect for the values of the country you are in, even if you do not necessarily agree with them.（……而是盡力尊重你所在國家的價值觀，即使你未必與他們意見一致）

1. 本課使用了許多“祈使句”，提醒人們該注意的問題。

2. 本課出現了用it作為形成主語，而真正主語“不定式短語”置后的句子。如：

（1）In China, it is taboo to give clocks and fans.

（2）In most Asian countries, it is considered impolite to open gifts in front of the gift-giver for fear of offending the person.

1. 在學習時，大家不僅要對有“引導詞”的定語從句多加留意，更要發現那些沒有“引導詞”的定語從句；同時對本課中“不定式短語或分詞短語”作定語的形式要做到“一眼就認得”。

2. 最后，要對本課中出現的“動詞短語和固定搭配”熟練掌握。
