Talking about Apartment
Jason:What do you think of this flat?
Alice:It’s not really all that good. The bedroom is a little small for us.
Jason:Small but it should be enough for our needs, I think.
Alice:But there’s no hot water after 10 at night. Sometimes I like to have a hot shower? before bed, especially in the winter. It feels good.
Jason:That’s true. But I love the living room; it’s huge and filled with sunshine?.
Alice:True, and I like the kitchen. It’s new and well equipped?.
Jason:It has a great balcony with an incredible view of the park.
Alice:You’re right. The view is spectacular. But that bedroom is so small. We’d never be able to fit all of our stuff in there.
Jason:Maybe we could get some new furniture. Better stuff.
Alice:I haven’t thought of that.

FUN 轻松:贴士
不应“依赖老师”
很多中国学生在学英语的时候,看似付出了“极大努力”:他们听课非常认真,笔记也做了厚厚的几大本,老师指定的习题都能按时完成。但几年下来,英语水平却没有明显的提高。这是为什么呢?我们知道,英语作为一门语言技能,和其他科目的学习存在着差别,除笔头练习外,更应注重个人的口、耳训练。而这类同学在学习时缺乏主动性,过于依赖老师。他们对于知识只是被动地接受,而不是主动地思考,更别提对所学内容的巩固强化和融会贯通了。英语学习的主体是学生自身,而不是老师,老师只是起了一个引导和辅助的作用。中国的那句古话“师傅领进门,修行在个人”说的就是这个道理。

Form a Double Line 排成两行
While shopping in a supermarket, I heard over the PA system: “A wallet was found containing a large sum of cash but no identification. Will those laying claim to it please form a double line at the customer service counter?”
我在超级市场里买东西,听见广播通知:“捡到一个钱包,里面有很多现金,但没有身份证明。请要认领的人在顾客服务柜台前排成两行。”
