From 96年第二次國中基測試題 No. 40-45

1. Do you know the meaning? 

    refrigerator:            , arrive:            , part:          , north:           , famous:            .

2. 雨 rain 的用法

    rain 的用法和snow很像, 我們先從 rain 開始

    rain (v)下雨  

           (n)雨

    因為有這兩個身份,衍生出三句型

     1. It + rain(v)...  

     2. There is rain(n)... 

     3. We/ They have rain(n)...

     Ex.台北夏天會下雨.(三種方式)

     1. It rains in Taipei in summer.

     2. There is rain in Taipei in summer.

     3. We have rain in Taipei in summer.

     Try by yourself:

     Ex. 紐約冬天會下雪. (三種方式)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

     Answer Key:

     1. It snows in New York in winter.

     2. There is snow in New York in winter.

     3. They have snow in New York in winter.

     希望妳/你有寫對喔!

 

 3. 東east 西west 南south 北north

     *Proverb: East or west, home is best.  天涯海角,自家最好.

     *Coco Town is on the north side of White Mountain.  Coco 鎮在White Mountain的北面.

 

 

 4. 用比較級表示最高級的用法:(Tall Joyce問的, let me explain more)

     前置知識: any +複n./單n. Ex: Do you have any brothers and sisters?

                                           Ex: I didn't buy any tangerine at the supermarket.

     同學應該都有背過 "any other 單n." 和 "all the other 複n." "anyone else"這三種用法吧!

     Ex. 我是我班上最高的學生.

          正譯: I am the tallest student in my class.

          意譯: I am taller than any other student in my class.

                  I am taller than all the other students in my class. 

                  I am taller than anyone/everyone else in my class. 

     * "I"  包含在 my class中.在本句中, "I" 不能比 "I" 高,所以要用other/else 將 "I" 除外. 

     * "else"只用於 疑問詞(what, who)與不定代名詞(anyone/somewhere)之後.

    Try by yourself:

     Ex. 台北是台灣最大的城市.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

   Answer Key:

                       Taipei is the biggest city in Taiwan

                       Taipei is bigger than any other city in Taiwan

                       Taipei is bigger than all the other cities in Taiwan.
