三、展示交流
分组展示,同学点评,互对答案。
四、点拨升华与运用
1. They should spend their time on schoolwork in order to get good grades and get into a good university.
in order to: “目的是、为了”,比单纯的to do更强调 “目的”,可放句首,也可放句中
e.g: In order to get to school on time, I have to get up early.
为了准时到达学校,我必须早起。
2. It’s the parents’ job to provide a clean and comfortable environment at home for their children.
*provide: “提供、供应”
*固定搭配:
*provide sb. with sth. / provide sth. for sb.
e.g: They provided the children with good food and clothing.
他们给孩子们良好的衣食供应。
It仅为形式上的主语,真正的主语是to provide…for their children
*It is one’s job (duty, …) to do something. :
“做某事是某人的工作(职责等)”
e.g: It’s every teacher’s job to explain things clearly to the students.
把东西给学生讲明白是每一位老师应做的事情。
3. Anyway, I think doing chores is not so difficult.
*anyway: 副词,若位于句首,其后往往
会有逗号将其与句子的其他内容隔开
*anyway在此句中的作用是追加评论,
“反正;仍然;依然”
e.g: Anyway, I'm free now. Let me go with you.我左右闲着没事,就陪你走一趟吧。
4. The earlier kids learn to be independent, the better it is for their future.
“the+比较级,the+ 比较级”表示 “越……越……”
e.g: The more, the better. 多多益善。
The more we do for the people, the happier we'll be.
我们为人民做得越多,就越幸福。
