1. Which letter do you agree with? Why?

2. What would you say to the person who wrote the letter you don’t agree with?

1. It is the parents’ job to provide a clean and comfortable environment at home for their children.

此处代词 it 仅为形式上的主语 , 真正的主语是 to provide … for their children 。我们也可将 It is one’s job (duty, …) to do something. 视为一个固定的句型 , 表示“做某事是某人的工作( 职责等 )” 。如 :

provide 作动词，意为“ 提供；供应”。provide sb. with sth. 或 provide sth. for

sb. 意为“为某人提供某物”。如：

It’s every teacher’s job to explain thing

s clearly to the students.

把东西给学生讲明白是每一位老师应做的事情。

The movie theater provides us with good

service.

His school provided a house for him.

汉译英。他们提供给他钱和衣服。They provided him with money and clot

hes.

They provided money and clothes for hi

m.

2. And anyway, I think doing chores is

not so difficult.

反正我觉得干点家务也不难。 anyway 是一个副词 , 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 , 相当于汉语的“反正 ;

仍然 ; 依然”。如 :

Sam didn’t get the job, but he’s not unhapp

y because it didn’t pay well anyway.

萨姆没有得到那份工作 , 但他并没有闷闷不乐 , 反正薪酬也不算高。anyway 还可用来表示“不管怎样 ; 无论如何”之意。例如 :

It’s just a cold. But anyway, you should still

see the doctor.

这只不过是感冒 , 但不管怎样 , 你还是应该看看医生。

3. ill & sick

◆ 相同点ill 与 sick 都可以表示“生病的”，都可作表语。如：Alice was ill / sick yesterday.

◆ 不同点表示“生病”时， sick 可作定语，但 ill

通常不作定语。如：Could you help the sick girl?

【运用】根据句意，用 ill 或 sick 填空。(1) The driver sent the _____ baby to t

he hospital.

(2) My brother is ________. I have to l

ook after him at home.

ill / sick

sick

4. The earlier kids learn to be independe

nt, the better it is for their future.

孩子们越早学会独立 , 对他们的未来就越好。

“the+比较级 +……, the+比较级 +…

…” 是英语中一个常用的句型结构 ,

表示“越…… , 就越……”。如 :

The more he explained, the better we u

nderstood.

他解释得越多 , 我们就理解得越透彻。Many people believe that the more a p

erson reads, the wiser he will become.

很多人相信一个人书读得越多就会变得越聪明。
