3.Skimming

2b.TheSundayMailmagazineinvitedparentstowriteaboutwhethertheythinkyoungpeopleshoulddochoresathome.Skimthefollowingletters.Whichoneagreesandwhichonedisagrees?

了解閱讀策略：

Skimming意為“快速掠過，從中提取最容易取得的精華”。這種讀法包含有原詞的所有意思——快速讀過去，取出讀物中關(guān)鍵性的東西。因此，我們可以把這種讀法理解為快速瀏覽課文，領(lǐng)會(huì)文章大意。一般而言，通過標(biāo)題可知道文章的主題。對(duì)文章的首段和末段要多加注意，以便發(fā)現(xiàn)作者的觀點(diǎn)。

Step9Languagepoints

1.Itistheparents’jobtoprovideacleanandcomfortableenvironmentathomefortheirchildren.

此處代詞it僅為形式上的主語(yǔ),真正的主語(yǔ)是toprovide…fortheirchildren。我們也可將Itisone’sjob(duty,…)todosomething.視為一個(gè)固定的句型,表示“做某事是某人的工作(職責(zé)等)”。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。

provide作動(dòng)詞，意為“提供；供應(yīng)”。

providesb.withsth.或providesth.for

sb.意為“為某人提供某物”。如：

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(gè)副詞,若位于句首,其后往往會(huì)有逗號(hào)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(píng)論,相當(dāng)于漢語(yǔ)的“反正；仍然；依然”。如：

Samdidn’tgetthejob,buthe’snotunhappybecauseitdidn’tpaywellanyway.

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.Butanyway,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(yǔ)。如：

Alicewasill/sickyesterday.

◆不同點(diǎn)

表示“生病”時(shí)，sick可作定語(yǔ)，但ill通常不作定語(yǔ)。如：

Couldyouhelpthesickgirl?

【運(yùn)用】根據(jù)句意，用ill或sick填空。

(1)Thedriversentthe________babytothehospital.

(2)Mybrotheris________.Ihavetolookafterhimathome.

4.Theearlierkidslearntobeindependent,thebetteritisfortheirfuture.

孩子們?cè)皆鐚W(xué)會(huì)獨(dú)立,對(duì)他們的未來就越好。

“the+比較級(jí)+…,the+比較級(jí)+…”是英語(yǔ)中一個(gè)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(gè)人書讀得越多就會(huì)變得越聰明。

Step2Howtowritealetter

1.信頭：發(fā)信人地址和日期。

這部分中有時(shí)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(duì)收信人的尊稱。

最普通的是Dear，但與Mr，Mrs，Miss等不同的是：Dear后一般用名字，而Mr，Mrs，Miss后不能單獨(dú)用名字，而只能是姓或姓與名，比如：對(duì)JohnSmith的稱呼，應(yīng)該是MrSmith，MrJohnSmith或DearJohn.稱呼后面可用逗號(hào)或、者冒號(hào)。3.信的正文。

4.結(jié)尾：發(fā)信人對(duì)收信人的謙稱或敬語(yǔ)。放在信的右下方。這部分要特別注意英語(yǔ)習(xí)慣，不可根據(jù)漢語(yǔ)意思寫上諸如“此致敬禮”、“祝您健康”之類的中國(guó)式的結(jié)尾語(yǔ)。常用的英語(yǔ)書信結(jié)尾語(yǔ)如下：

寫給同齡人或年長(zhǎng)的朋友：Yourssincerely，Sincerelyyours，Yours等等。

寫給好朋友：Love，Withlove，Bestwishes等等。

寫給親戚：Love，Withlove，Affectionatelyyours，Your(ever)lovingson（sister等等）。5.簽名。

簽名一般在結(jié)尾語(yǔ)的下面一行。6.常見的私人信件的開頭方式：

高興：Iwassoglad/pleased/happytoreceiveyourletter.

感謝：Thankyouforyourwonderfulgift/yourinterestingletter.

關(guān)心與詢問：Howareyouthesedays？/Howareyougettingonthesedays？/Howareyougettingonwithyourwork/studies？

抱歉：IamsorrythatIdidnotwritetoyousoonerbutIhavebeenverybusythesedays.

一般在表示道歉沒有及時(shí)給對(duì)方寫信時(shí)，還要簡(jiǎn)述原因或?qū)懮习参康脑挕?/p>

遺憾：Iwassorrytolearnthatyoudidnotdowellintheexamination./Iwassoupsettohearthatyouareillthesedays.Idohopeyouaregettingbetter.
