[短語和句型]

What should a good friend be like? 好朋友該是什么樣的人呢?
What’s your opinion? 你有什么見解？
重點、難點解析
1. What should a good friend be like? 好朋友該是什么樣的人呢?
be like 象……樣子 (既可用來詢問人的外貌特征又可用來詢問人的品格)
---What is Tom like?
---He’s tall. / He’s a very smart boy.
注意比較: look like這個短語一般只用來問人的外貌特征。 如:
---What does Miss White look like?
---Cool! She has got two big beautiful eyes.
2. What qualities should a good friend have? 好朋友該具備那些特點呢?
quality (n.) 質量; 性質; 品質;特點, 特性
He bought his wife a watch of good quality. 他給妻子買了一塊質量很不錯的手表。
This new model is of high quality and is not expensive either. 這種新型號質量非常好,而且也不貴。
Tim has qualities of leadership. Tim具有領導才能。
3. loyal (adj.) 忠實的;忠誠的
I’m a loyal fan of Tom hanks. 我是Tom Hanks的忠實影迷。

loyal 一詞常和介詞to搭配使用

He didn’t stay loyal to his army and told everything to the enemy.
他背叛了自己的軍隊,把一切都告訴了敵人。
4. A good friend is someone who makes me happy. 好朋友是使我快樂的人。
make sb. adj.

make sb. do sth 讓某人干某事
The teacher made us memorize 100 English words a day. 老師讓我們一天記住個100單詞。
注意這個句式的被動語態應該在do前加上to. 所以上面的句子若改寫成被動句則應為:
we are made to memorize 100 English words a day.
類似的短語還有: see/hear/find sb. do sth. 如:
He was seen to steal the money on the table. 有人看到他偷了桌子上的錢。
注意see/hear/find這類的詞還可以跟see/hear sb. doing sth.的句式,但在變為被動時不用加to,保留doing的形式即可。 如:

He was heard quarrelling with his wife.

III. 閱讀理解
“In the old days,” as one wife said, “the husband was the husband and the wife was the wife. Husbands each had their own way of going on. The wives’ jobs were to look after them. The wives wouldn’t stand for it nowadays. Husbands help with the children now. They stay more in the home and have more interest in the home.” We shall give some examples of what husbands do, firstly, in sharing work with their wives, and secondly, in their largely independent (獨立的) domain (領域) of house repairs.
Some husbands, as well as doing much of the heavy work in the home, carrying the coals and emptying the rubbish, act as assistants to their wives for at least part of the day. Mr. Hummond washed up the dishes every night and lays breakfast for the morning. Mr. Clark said that on Sunday morning he usually hovered (吸塵) around for her while she did a bit of washing. Mr. Davis polished the floors and helps to make the beds at the weekends, and during the week takes the dog out for one of his twice daily walks. So it goes on…

A. before liberation men stayed at home all day
B. in the past, there was a clear division of roles in the family

V. 書面表達
根據提示，以 “How to learn English well? ”為題寫一篇小短文
提示：1。有的同學認為，只要掌握語法規則和盡可能多記單詞，就能學好英語。2。你不完全同意他們的看法，你認為只記單詞是不夠的。必須通過實踐、也就是通過聽說讀寫來學習英語。 3。怎樣才能多用英語呢，在課內外我多講，平時盡可能多讀多聽，用英語記日記、寫信、寫小故事等都很有用。

How to Learn English Well
Some students seem to think that if you know grammar rules and try to learn more words by heart, you can learn English well. But I don’t think so. I think it is not enough only to remember grammar rules and words. If you want to learn English well you must seize (抓住) every chance to do listening, speaking, reading, and writing.
How can you practise English more? You must speak English in and out of class and try to read and listen more. Keeping diaries, writing letters and writing short stories in English will do good to you. (do you good)
