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

一、 活學活用:

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、 名師點撥:

1. love 比 like 從語氣上看程度更深,love有"非常喜愛、酷愛"的意思,enjoy側(cè)重于"享受......的樂趣"。

2. 正如我們在第5期中為大家介紹過的,大多數(shù)節(jié)日都可以用"Happy + 節(jié)日名稱"來表示祝福,如:Happy New Year!Happy Halloween!等。

3. 在回答帶有why的問句時,一般情況下,because不能省略。
