3. Skimming

2b. The Sunday Mail magazine invited parents to write about whether they think young people should do chores at home. Skim the following letters. Which one agrees and which one disagrees?

了解阅读策略：

Skimming 意为“快速掠过，从中提取最容易取得的精华”。这种读法包含有原词的所有意思——快速读过去，取出读物中关键性的东西。因此，我们可以把这种读法理解为快速浏览课文，领会文章大意。一般而言，通过标题可知道文章的主题。对文章的首段和末段要多加注意，以便发现作者的观点。

Answer the questions.

1) What is Ms. Miller’s opinion?

2) What is Mr. Smith’s opinion?

4. Reading

Discuss the questions with partner.

Step 9 Language points

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:

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。

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：

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 clothes.

They provided money and clothes for him.

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 unhappy 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 the hospital.

(2) My brother is ________. I have to look after him at home.

4. The earlier kids learn to be independent, 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 understood.

他解释得越多, 我们就理解得越透彻。

Many people believe that the more a person 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。

Step 10 Exercise

I. 根据句意及所给首字母提示，补全句中所缺单词。

2. If you don’t study hard, your grades will d______.

3. I like Old Henry because he often p_______ us with hot water.

4. We can d______ on him for help.

Step 1 Revision

Discuss the questions with a partner. And take notes.

Do you think children should do some chores at home?

Why or why not?

Step 2 How to write a letter

1. 信头：发信人地址和日期。

这部分中有时可省去发信人地址，但一般要写日期。放在信纸的右上方。

2. 称呼：对收信人的尊称。

最普通的是Dear，但与Mr.，Mrs.，Miss等不同的是：Dear后一般用名字，而Mr.，Mrs.，Miss后不能单独用名字，而只能是姓或姓与名，比如：对John Smith的称呼，应该是Mr. Smith，Mr. John Smith或 Dear Joh

称呼后面可用逗号或者冒号。

3. 信的正文。

4. 结尾：发信人对收信人的谦称或敬语。放在信的右下方。

这部分要特别注意英语习惯，不可根据汉语意思写上诸如“此致敬礼”、“祝您健康”之类的中国式的结尾语。常用的英语书信结尾语如下：

写给同龄人或年长的朋友： Yours  sincerely，Sincerely yours，Yours等等。

写给好朋友： Love，With love， Best wishes等等。

写给亲戚：Love，With love，Affectionately yours，Your （ever） loving son（sister等等）。

5. 签名。

签名一般在结尾语的下面一行。

6. 常见的私人信件的开头方式：

高兴：I was so glad/pleased/happy to receive your letter.

感谢：Thank you for your wonderful gift / your interesting letter.

关心与询问：How are you these days？/ How are you getting on these days？/ How are you getting on with your work/studies？

抱歉：I am sorry that I did not write to you sooner but I have been very busy these days.

一般在表示道歉没有及时给对方写信时，还要简述原因或写上安慰的话。

遗憾：I was sorry to learn that you did not do well in the examination. / I was so upset to hear that you are ill these days. I do hope you are getting better.
