参考答案与解析
习作修改
本文描述的是Joey在旅途中,坐火车时丢失鞋子的故事。
1. for→with 与某人同游,用介词with。
2. is→was 描述过去发生的事情,谓语动词应相应地用过去式。
3. shoe→ shoes 鞋子一般是一双,用复数形式。
4. 去掉take后的him 这里指take a nap(小睡一会),固定搭配,不能加him。
5. unhappy→unhappily 修饰动词应用副词。
6. but→and 两句话之间没有转折关系,爸爸告诉Joey哭是没有用的,然后承诺到家后给他买一双新的,顺承关系,用and。
7. very→so 后面出现that,构成so ... that ... 的句式。
8. 在threw和other中间加上the 特指两只鞋中另外一只,需要用定冠词。
9. Reached→Reaching 句子逻辑主语是he,是动词的发出者,分词应用ing形式。
10. losing→lost 丢失的,用lost而不用losing。
课堂练习
As a senior three student, I often imagine what I will be doing in the future. Talking of my dream job, I expect to be an English teacher for the following reasons.
First, Im an energetic outgoing girl/boy with great patience. Thats what makes a qualified teacher, in my opinion. Besides, I am crazy about the English language, and I am doing quite well. Above all, teachers are generally respected and well-paid. With two vacations each year, I may enjoy more relaxing time. As a responsible girl/boy, I hope to take up a job which is beneficial to society. Being a good teacher may influence more students to shoulder their responsibilities and contribute to their country.
In short, Ill work even harder to become a popular English teacher.
课外作业
Among the four seasons in a year, summer is my favorite, which makes me free, excited and energetic.
When summer vacation for us students comes every year, we can do all that we cant do during our school time, going shopping with friends, swimming in warm water and even hiking and camping in the deep valleys, all of which, I think, lead me to full freedom. We can find us in an exciting world every day, with the sun shining brightly, trees growing greenly and flowers coming out with all kinds of colors. Summer makes me full of energy and I feel I have the strength to do the most difficult things in my life.
