此處代詞it僅為形式上的主語,真正的主語是toprovide…fortheirchildren。我們也可將Itisone’sjob(duty,…)todosomething.視為一個固定的句型,表示“做某事是某人的工作(職責(zé)等)”。如:Languagepointsprovide作動詞，意為“提供；供應(yīng)”。providesb.withsth.或providesth.forsb.意為“為某人提供某物”。如：It’severyteacher’sjobtoexplainthingsclearlytothestudents.把東西給學(xué)生講明白是每一位老師應(yīng)做的事情。Themovietheaterprovidesuswithgoodservice.Hisschoolprovidedahouseforhim.漢譯英。他們提供給他錢和衣服。Theyprovidedhimwithmoneyandclothes.Theyprovidedmoneyandclothesforhim.2.Andanyway,Ithinkdoingchoresisnotsodifficult.反正我覺得干點(diǎn)家務(wù)也不難。

anyway是一個副詞,若位于句首,其后往往會有逗號將其與句子的其他內(nèi)容隔開。anyway在此句中的作用是追加評論,相當(dāng)于漢語的“反正;仍然;依然”。如:Samdidn’tgetthejob,buthe’snotunhappybecauseitdidn’tpaywell

anyway.薩姆沒有得到那份工作,但他并沒有悶悶不樂,反正薪酬也不算高。anyway還可用來表示“不管怎樣;無論如何”之意。例如:It’sjustacold.But

anyway,youshouldstillseethedoctor.這只不過是感冒,但不管怎樣,你還是應(yīng)該看看醫(yī)生。3.ill&sick◆相同點(diǎn)ill與sick都可以表示“生病的”，都可作表語。如：Alicewasill/sickyesterday.◆不同點(diǎn)表示“生病”時，sick可作定語，但ill通常不作定語。如：Couldyouhelpthesick

girl?【運(yùn)用】根據(jù)句意，用ill或sick填空。(1)Thedriversentthe_____babytothehospital.(2)Mybrotheris________.Ihavetolookafterhimathome.ill/sicksick4.Theearlierkidslearntobeindependent,thebetteritisfortheirfuture.孩子們越早學(xué)會獨(dú)立,對他們的未來就越好。

“the+比較級+……,the+比較級+……”是英語中一個常用的句型結(jié)構(gòu),表示“越……,就越……”。如:Themoreheexplained,thebetterweunderstood.他解釋得越多,我們就理解得越透徹。Manypeoplebelievethatthemoreapersonreads,thewiserhewillbecome.很多人相信一個人書讀得越多就會變得越聰明。I.根據(jù)句意及所給首字母提示，補(bǔ)全句中所缺單詞。1.Hewasi___butnobodytookhimtothehospital.2.Ifyoudon’tstudyhard,yourgradeswilld______.3.IlikeOldHenrybecauseheoftenp_______uswithhotwater.llroprovidesExercises4.Wecand______onhimforhelp.5.Motherthinksplayingcomputergamesisaw______oftime.II.根據(jù)句意，用括號內(nèi)所給單詞的適當(dāng)形式填空。1.He_________(develop)afarmfromnothing.2.Infact,youngpeoplehavetoomuch______(stress)today.asteependdevelopedstress3.Hedidn’tmind________(help)mewithmyEnglish.4.Mr.LiandMr.Wangarebothmy_________(neighbor).5.Whydidthemanmakethelittleboy________(carry)water?carryhelpingneighbors1.信頭：發(fā)信人地址和日期。有時可省去發(fā)信人地址，但一般要寫日期。放在信紙的右上方。2.稱呼：對收信人的尊稱。常用Dear，后用名字，而Mr，Mrs，Miss后不能單獨(dú)用名字，而是姓或姓與名，如：JohnSmith的稱呼，是MrSmith，MrJohnSmith或DearJohn。稱呼后用逗號。3.正文。寫作指導(dǎo)4.結(jié)尾：發(fā)信人對收信人的謙稱或敬語。放在信的右下方。要特別注意英語習(xí)慣，不可根據(jù)漢語意思寫“此致敬禮”、“祝您健康”之類的中國式的結(jié)尾語。寫給同齡人或年長的朋友:Yours

sincerely，Yours等等。寫給親朋好友：Love，Bestwishes等等。5.簽名：一般在結(jié)尾語的下面一行。
