上一期,在tennis court里,Li Mei 和 Kitty 就問(wèn)候(greetings)、介紹自己(introduction)和請求別人(asking for permission)為我們所學(xué)的常用口語(yǔ)作了一次精彩的回放。今天她們兩個(gè)在swimming pool里又不期而遇,讓我們一起去聽(tīng)聽(tīng)她們今天又會(huì )談些什么吧!

一、 活學(xué)活用:

1. Li Mei: Do you like swimming, Kitty?

Kitty: Yes, I like swimming in summer. What about you?

Li Mei: I love swimming, too. And I enjoy playing in the clean water. It's fun.

Kitty: Do you like basketball?

Li Mei: No, I don't like basketball.

Kitty: Why?

Li Mei: Because I am too short. And I am not tall enough to reach the basket.

2. Li Mei: Which is your favourite festival?

Kitty: Christmas.

Li Mei: When is Christmas?

Kitty: It's on December 25th.

Li Mei: Why do you like Christmas?

Kitty: Because we can play games,sing Christmas songs, have a big party, get Christmas gifts(禮物) and eat a lot of nice food. It is wonderful!

Li Mei: Oh, today is December 25th. Merry Christmas, Kitty!

Kitty: Merry Christmas, Li Mei!

二、 名師點(diǎn)撥:

1. love 比 like 從語(yǔ)氣上看程度更深,love有"非常喜愛(ài)、酷愛(ài)"的意思,enjoy側重于"享受......的樂(lè )趣"。

2. 正如我們在第5期中為大家介紹過(guò)的,大多數節日都可以用"Happy + 節日名稱(chēng)"來(lái)表示祝福,如:Happy New Year!Happy Halloween!等。

3. 在回答帶有why的問(wèn)句時(shí),一般情況下,because不能省略。
