一.本課要點(diǎn)及示例
在這一課里,我們還是學(xué)習(xí)形容詞比較級(jí). 我們還要學(xué)習(xí)一個(gè)新的句型, as, a-s, as 加上形容詞再加上 as,像是 as useful as "跟什么什么一樣有用", as practical as "跟什么什么一樣實(shí)用" 等等.
現(xiàn)在我們先來(lái)聽(tīng)今天這一課的對(duì)話, 請(qǐng)你注意聽(tīng)英文老師的發(fā)音和語(yǔ)調(diào).
M: Hello, Mary! How was your exam yesterday?
F: Not too good. It wasn't as easy as the last one, and it was longer than before.
M: Well, the final exam is always more difficult. You have to work harder. You will certainly do better next time.
F: I worked very hard, but I was too careless. I made some stupid mistakes. I should be more careful next time.
M: Maybe you took too many courses this year.
F: No, I took as many courses as last year.
M: Well, it's no use worrying about the exam now. Let's talk about the football game tonight. It's much more interesting.
現(xiàn)在我們?cè)侔颜螌?duì)話聽(tīng)一遍. 這次英文老師念得比較慢,請(qǐng)你注意聽(tīng), 看看能聽(tīng)懂多少?
M: Hello, Mary! How was your exam yesterday?

M: Well, it's no use worrying about the exam now. Let's talk about the football game tonight. It's much more interesting.
現(xiàn)在我把剛才那段對(duì)話里包含了今天要學(xué)的語(yǔ)法的句子挑出來(lái), 請(qǐng)老師再念一遍給你聽(tīng).

二.形容詞比較級(jí)
現(xiàn)在我們來(lái)作練習(xí). 上一課里我們學(xué)的形容詞比較級(jí), 是在短的形容詞后面加上 e-r, 現(xiàn)在我們來(lái)學(xué)另外一種形容詞比較級(jí), 就是在比較長(zhǎng)的形容詞前面加上 more, m-o-r-e , more, 比方 "比較聰明" more intelligent, "比較有天份", more talented, "比較有耐心", more patient, "比較有雄心" more ambitious 等等.
現(xiàn)在我們用剛才舉出的那些形容詞比較級(jí)作句子, 把彼得和瑪麗作個(gè)比較. 每個(gè)句子我們念兩遍, 請(qǐng)你聽(tīng)一遍, 跟著老師重復(fù)一遍.

現(xiàn)在我們來(lái)作代換練習(xí). 首先由老師念一個(gè)句子, 接著老師給你一個(gè)形容詞, 請(qǐng)你把這個(gè)形容詞的比較級(jí)代換到原來(lái)的句子里. 請(qǐng)你注意: 老師給你的形容詞在變成比較級(jí)的時(shí)候有的應(yīng)該加上 e-r; 有的應(yīng)該加上 more, 你必須要斟酌情況加以變化. 每作完一句, 老師會(huì)念出正確答案, 你自己比較一下, 看看作對(duì)了沒(méi)有. 現(xiàn)在我們開(kāi)始.

下面我們來(lái)學(xué)習(xí)另外幾個(gè)用 more 的形容詞比較級(jí), 比方: "比較有趣" more enjoyable, "比較舒服" more comfortable, "比較昂貴" more expensive 等等.在下面這組練習(xí)里, 彼得問(wèn)老師一些問(wèn)題, 老師一一的給他肯定的答覆. 比方彼得問(wèn)老師: "廟宇比教室好看嗎?" Is a temple more beautiful than a classroom? 老師回答說(shuō): "對(duì)了!廟宇比教室好看." Yes, a temple is more beautiful than a classroom. 好, 現(xiàn)在我們開(kāi)始作練習(xí). 請(qǐng)你在老師答覆彼得的時(shí)候也跟著老師重復(fù).

一樣實(shí)用" 等等.
首先我們來(lái)作換字練習(xí), 把瑪麗和琳達(dá)作個(gè)比較, 比方瑪麗跟琳達(dá)一樣聰明等
等. 還是由老師念一個(gè)句子, 接著老師給你一個(gè)形容詞, 請(qǐng)你把這個(gè)形容詞代換到原來(lái)的句子里. 每作完一句就聽(tīng)老師念正確答案. 現(xiàn)在我們開(kāi)始.

M: intelligent
F: Mary is as intelligent as Linda.
M: thin
F: Mary is as thin as Linda.
M: beautiful
F: Mary is as beautiful as Linda.
M: healthy
F: Mary is as healthy as Linda.
在下面這一組練習(xí)里, 老師先提出一個(gè)問(wèn)句, 比方: Is Mary as tall as Peter?接著老師說(shuō) No, 那么你就應(yīng)該作否定的答覆: No, Mary isn't as tall as Peter. 然后你再補(bǔ)充說(shuō)明: 彼得比較高 Peter is taller. 好, 現(xiàn)在我們開(kāi)始作練習(xí). 每作完一句老師會(huì)念出正確答案, 你自己作個(gè)比較, 看你作對(duì)了沒(méi)有.
M: Is Mary as old as Peter? (No)

下面我們換一個(gè)方式作練習(xí). 由瑪麗問(wèn)老師一些有關(guān)學(xué)校課程的問(wèn)題, 比方:"電腦比外國(guó)語(yǔ)言實(shí)用嗎?" Is computer science more practical than foreign languages? 老師回答說(shuō): "不對(duì)! 外國(guó)語(yǔ)言跟電腦一樣實(shí)用."

"No,Columbus is as famous as Marco Polo. 在這個(gè)練習(xí)里有一些課程的名字, 比方: chemistry "化學(xué)",physics "物理", home economics "家政", electives "選修課程" 等等.這些詞匯在今天的聽(tīng)力測(cè)驗(yàn)里還會(huì)出現(xiàn). 現(xiàn)在請(qǐng)你注意聽(tīng)瑪麗問(wèn)問(wèn)題, 然后請(qǐng)你在老師回答瑪麗問(wèn)題的時(shí)候也跟著重復(fù):
