上一期,在tennis court里,Li Mei 和 Kitty 就问候(greetings)、介绍自己(introduction)和请求别人(asking for permission)为我们所学的常用口语作了一次精彩的回放。今天她们两个在swimming pool里又不期而遇,让我们一起去听听她们今天又会谈些什么吧!
一、 活学活用:
1. Li Mei: Do you like swimming, Kitty?
Kitty: Yes, I like swimming in summer. What about you?
Li Mei: I love swimming, too. And I enjoy playing in the clean water. It's fun.
Kitty: Do you like basketball?
Li Mei: No, I don't like basketball.
Kitty: Why?
Li Mei: Because I am too short. And I am not tall enough to reach the basket.
2. Li Mei: Which is your favourite festival?
Kitty: Christmas.
Li Mei: When is Christmas?
Kitty: It's on December 25th.
Li Mei: Why do you like Christmas?
Kitty: Because we can play games,sing Christmas songs, have a big party, get Christmas gifts(礼物) and eat a lot of nice food. It is wonderful!
Li Mei: Oh, today is December 25th. Merry Christmas, Kitty!
Kitty: Merry Christmas, Li Mei!
二、 名师点拨:
1. love 比 like 从语气上看程度更深,love有"非常喜爱、酷爱"的意思,enjoy侧重于"享受......的乐趣"。
2. 正如我们在第5期中为大家介绍过的,大多数节日都可以用"Happy + 节日名称"来表示祝福,如:Happy New Year!Happy Halloween!等。
3. 在回答带有why的问句时,一般情况下,because不能省略。
