1. 掌握词汇及短语:pal, person, tongue, apartment, metre; 2. 掌握a little/ little与 a few/few的区别;

【知识点】Ms. Liu, I’m sorry, but I know only a little English. 刘老师,对不起,可是我只懂一点英语。
(1) I’m sorry, but?是什么意思? 意思是“对不起,但是我??”。but用于表示歉意的sorry后,表示有礼貌的拒绝或不赞成,并陈述理由。
如:I’m sorry, but I have to look after my sick brother at home. 对不起,但我得在家照顾我生病的弟弟。
(2) a little/ little与 a few/few有什么区别呢? a little是“一点,一些”的意思,接近some,表示肯定意义;little 是“很少,没有”的意思,接近“no”,表示否定意义,两者都修饰不可数名词。 a few/few两者都修饰可数名词。a few意思是“有几个”,表示肯定意义,few的意思是“没有多少,几乎没有”,表示否定意义。
[注意] 在使用这些形容词时,关键是分清被它们所修饰的词的性质及句子的意义。 例. The box is too heavy. ________ students in our class can carry it. A. Few B. A few
C. A little D. Little
透析:修饰可数名词用few或a few,这里指箱子太重,因此用few,表否定。答案:A 变式演练1 改错:

1. 掌握的词汇和短语:dictionary, one more time; 2. 掌握at first与first的用法区别。 内容精讲
【知识点】Slowly at first: DIC-TION-A-RY 先慢慢读:DIC-TION-A-RY at first与first有区别吗?
at first意思是“一开始,起初,首先”,表示做事和叙述事情的顺序时使用。其反义短语是at last, in the end和 finally(最后)。
如:At first, we didn’t know each other, but now we are good friends. 起初,我们并不认识,不过现在我们是好朋友了。
常常有些人会将at first与first混为一谈,但这是错误的。first用以强调次序的概念。
如:When you are at the beach, play safe. First, don't swim too far out. Second, don't swim immediately after eating.
当你在海滩的时候,要以安全为上。首先,不要游得太远。其次,吃完东西后不要马上游泳。
例. At first, don't be afraid to make mistakes. Second, you must not be shy. (改错)
透析:该句的意思是“首先,别怕出错。其次,千万不要害羞”。在表示“第一,首先”及“第二点,其次”的意思,用于陈列重点或陈述概念、想法时用First及Second,所以将At first改为First。 变式演练1 根据汉语填空:

___________, the new student felt out of place. __________, he became one of us. Lesson 45 Keep Trying!
学习目标
1. 掌握的词汇和短语:ago, pronounce, story, look up;
2. 识别词汇及短语:technique, keep / stop trying, I don’t know how to say something。
3. 能够讲述自己学习英语的故事,介绍学习英语的方法。 内容精讲
【知识点1】Keep Trying! 不断努力! Keep doing?是什么意思?
keep+v-ing意思是“不断做某事,一直做某事”。keep+sb.+v-ing意思是“让某人一直做某事”。
如:You shouldn’t keep thinking about your illness. 你不应该不停地想你的病。
例1. 根据汉语意思填空:别让那个孩子老站在外面。 Don’t _________ that boy __________ outside.
透析:本句就要用“keep+sb.+v-ing”结构,分别填:keep, standing 变式演练1 改错:
从今天早晨起他一直在干活。He kept to work since this morning.
【知识点2】When I don’t understand a word, I look it up in the dictionary. 当我不懂一个单词的时候,我就查字典。 本句中look up是什么意思? 意思是“在??查寻,查找”,它是由动词+副词构成的短语,其宾语如果是代词,必须放在动词与副词中间;如果宾语是名词,即可以放在look up的中间,也可以放在look up的后面。
如:I’m looking up his address. = I’m looking his address up. 我正在查他的地址。
look up还有“向上看,了解”的意思。
如:They are looking up at the bird in the tree. 他们正抬头看着树上的鸟。 例2. Look at the new words, please _____ in the dictionary. A. look them up B. look up them C. look it up D. look up it
透析:因为宾语是代词,代替前面的复数名词words,所以应放在动词与副词中间。答案:A
