四、习作修改
李华就中国长江江豚受人类活动影响而濒临灭绝的问题给世界自然保护基金组织写了一封信,请他们关注江豚的现状并提供帮助。
1. 在student前加a 单数可数名词前应加冠词,此处表示泛指,故用a。
2. anything →something 因anything主要用于否定句或疑问句中,在肯定句中通常用something。
3. are→is 因the number of作主语,表示“……的数量”,谓语动词应用单数。
4. leave→left 因1000 species与leave之间是逻辑的动宾关系,故应用过去分词表被动。
5. 把dying out后的of去掉 因die out为固定搭配,意为“灭绝,消失”。
6. take→took 因its high time sb. did sth.为固定句型,意为“该是某人做某事的时候了”。
7. Because→So 联系上下文可知,此处表示结果,故用So(因此,所以)而不用Because。
8. rule→ rules因rule前有some引导,故应用名词的复数形式。
9. anxious→anxiously 修饰动词,应用副词。
10. me→you 联系上文可知,此处应是期待收到“你”的回信。
五、课室练习
Dear editor,
Im writing this letter to tell you about the emergent situation of wild animals. It is known that at present the number of wild animals has decreased rapidly, and some species are even facing the danger of extinction. Its time that we took action to protect them from being killed.
There are several reasons accounting for this problem. Apart from the polluted environment and natural disasters,illegal killing is an important reason. Besides,the forests where wild animals live are being destroyed. As a result,a lot of animals are losing their habitats.
Last,Id like to call on all of us to pay more attention to animals living condition and work together to make sure they will not die out. Lets build a better world with them.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
六、课外作业
Dear Peter,
In your last mail you ask me something about Typhoon. Here is something about it. Typhoon is a terrible nature disaster that often strikes southeastern parts of China. As a common disaster, it has been threatening human beings of all time.
When a powerful storm is reported to come,try your best to avoid going out. Besides,youd better not leave any flowerpot on the balcony. Whats more,keep a stock of enough food and water in case the storm lasts for a long time.
If you are caught in the storm,remember the tips as follows. Firstly,dont shelter under trees because they are easily to be struck by lightning. Secondly,strong wind may blow things into the air,so youd better protect yourself from the dropping things. Be careful so that you wont be hit by them.
Best wishes.
