◆语块收藏

1.recall one's high school life回想起某人的高中生活

2.be always busy doing sth.总是忙于做某事

3.get into a prestigious college进入一所有名望的大学

4.become much more outgoing变得更加外向

5.help a lot with one's life in the future对某人将来的生活有很大的帮助

◆典句赏析

1.There are lots of things I can do.有很多事情我可以做。

这是一个主从复合句，其中的句子I can do是省略了关系代词that的定语从句，修饰先行词things；lots of意思是“许多的”，相当于a lot of。

2.I will keep working hard on my study until I graduate from college.我将继续努力学习直到大学毕业。

(1)until作为连词，引导时间状语从句，可译为“到……为止”。用于肯定句中，表示主句的动作一直持续到从句动作发生或状态出现时为止。在这种用法中，主句的谓语动词必须是持续性动词（非瞬间性动词），如live,wait,last,love,like,stay,work,continue等。until用于否定句中，表示主句的动作在从句的动作发生之前尚未发生，或者说主句的动作在从句的动作发生之后才开始。一般可译为“直到……才”。在这种用法中，主句谓语动词必须是短暂性动词（瞬间性动词）。

(2)keep doing...on...结构，意思是“在……方面继续做”。

3.I know how to deal with people in a better way.我知道如何更好地与人打交道。

这是一个简单句。how to deal with people in a better way是“疑问词+动词不定式短语”结构，在句中作动词know的宾语；deal with是固定词组搭配，意思是“对付；处理”，后面接名词、代词或者动名词等。
