Composition 作文

 

Rewrite these sentences using the correct verbs and joining words:

用正确的动词和连词改写下列句子:

The man on the raft saw the boat (so) (but) he tried to send a signal. He (took off) (put out) his shirt (or) (and) (waved) (shook) it (but) (so) the men on the boat (neither) (either) saw (or) (nor) (head) (listened to) him.

 

Letter writing 书信写作

 

We do not always write the names of areas or postal districts in full when writing the address. Sometimes we write part of a name or only capital letters. For instance:‘Berks.’stands for‘Berkshire’;‘Calif.’for‘California’;‘N. W. 3’for‘North West 3’;‘N. Y.’for‘New York’.

当我们书写地址时,常常不写地区或邮区的全称。有时只写名称的一部分或只用大写字母。如:Berkshire写成

Berks., California写成Calif., North West 3缩写成N. W. 3, New York缩写成N. Y.。

 

Exercise 练习

 

Write these words again in the way they might appear in an address:

用同样的方法重写下列可能在地址中出现的词语:

Street, Road, Avenue, Square, Place, New York, West 8, South West 3.

 

Key structure 关键句型

 

She is going to swim across the Channel tomorrow. 将来时(KS12) (参见第12课关键句型)

Instead of saying:

We can say:

除了这种表述方法外:

还可以说:

I shall travel by air.

I am going to travel by air.

He will sell his car.

He is going to sell his car.

They will move to a new house.

They are going to move to a new house.

I intend to write to him.

I am going to write to him.

She means to ask for an explanation.

She is going to ask for an explanation.

We can often use going to in place of shall or will in simple statements and questions. We cannot use going to in sentences like this one:

在陈述句和疑问句中,我们常常可用going to来替代shall或will。在类似下列的句子中我们不能用going to:

You will enjoy yourself if you travel by sea. 如果你乘船旅游,你会玩得很开心的。
