Dear Mr. Rallinen,
I must write and thank you for your kindness to you on my visit to the Tampella factory earlier this month. I am very grateful for the time you spent answering my questions, and the trouble you went to, to make my stay in Tampella as interesting as possible. I can assure you those two days were the highlight of my trip to Finland.
Yours very sincerely,
George R. Finlay
(9) Discuss the format, the semantic elements, the language used in a personal letters:
The format of a personal letter is a bit similar with notes.
Every well-constructed personal letter is made up of five essential parts:
A. The heading: your address and the date ( where and when)
B. The salutation: your complimentary greetings (to whom)
C. The body : your purpose, information about yourself (what and why)
D. The complimentary close: your complimentary good bye
E. The signature (who)
So the semantic structure of personal letter should be as follows:
Heading ^salutation ^body (purpose and information)^ complimentary close ^ signature
Heading: The heading is the sender’s address and the date of writing the letter. It always goes in the top right-hand corner. Start writing about in the center so that the longest line reaches your right margin.
Notes:
a. The order of the address is as follows: number of house, name of street, town of city, area, country. Never write your name above your address.
b. Pay special attention to the punctuation of the address. Notice that there is a comma after each line and a full stop after the last one. This style is called closed punctuation and is favored by many British people. However, modern practice tends to omit the punctuation at the end of each entry. This style is called open punctuation and is favored by many American people.
c. The names of cities should be written out completely except those abbreviated forms are accepted such as N.Y (New York) N.J.(New Jersey).
d. The name of the country can be left out of the address when you are writing to someone in your own country. And among very close friends, the whole address can be left out.
e. The date should never be omitted. It goes immediately below the address and never above it. There is no need in a letter to a friend to include the year in the date.
Salutation: salutation of a letter is the complimentary greeting to the person to whom the letter is written. It’s like saying Hello. (Refer to the rules we mentioned when we talked about note writing)
The Body: A letter can be long or very short. It just depends. You can begin your letter by referring to either to a letter you have recently received or an event which has caused you to write. Then get to the point and tell the receiver your purpose of writing this letter and information about yourself. Content is important. To end with a letter, we usually express our polite wishes in order to leave a favorable impression in the reader’s mind.
The Complimentary close: The complimentary close of a personal letter should be written below the body of the letter, beginning about in the center of the page. Only the first letter of the first word should be capitalized, and there should be a comma at the end. (Refer to the note writing)
The wording varies according to the type of letter and according to the degree of friendship and intimacy with the receiver, but it must agree with that of the salutation. The most usual complimentary close for friends and acquaintances is “Yours sincerely or Sincerely yours.”
Unless on special occasion, avoid using such a close as “Yours hurriedly; Yours hastily; Yours in a haste; Yours in sympathy ; Yours in sorrow.”
The signature: the signature of a letter is written below the complimentary close and somewhat to the right so that it ends just about in line with the right-hand margin of the letter. There is no need for a full stop after your signature. Always sign by hand, in ink (not a pencil), write clearly. Sign your name without any title such as Student
Note :The language of personal letter has the following features:
a. write with clarity : try to avoid long involved paragraphs. A letter composed of short sentences and short paragraphs is not only more inviting to the eye, but reads more easily and conveys your ideas with greater speed
b. keep your language simple : plain ,familiar words are the best.
Do is better more than accomplish
Write is a better word than correspond
Find is a better word than locate
Please is better than will you be good enough
Now is better than at the present time
c. Use lots of verbs. And keep your verbs short ! Make them say what you have to say. Verbs like “come , go , run , walk, send, meet , buy , give” give force and action to your sentences.
d. Make your letter sound conversational. Contractions can make your letter sound conversational in a personal letter.
(10) Ask the students to revise their letters in class and select two or three students to read their letters to the class so that we can comment based on the following aspects : the purpose; the relationship between the reader and the writer; the mode; the information; the format; the l use of the language)
Commenting on the writing by asking the students the following questions:
1. What is the purpose of this writing task?
2. What is the relationship between the writer and the reader?
3. What is the mode of the writing? Is it to be read or to be spoken?
4. What is the necessary information and what is the optional information?
5. How are these elements expressed grammatically and idiomatically?
(After the discussion the students should know that in writing we have to be clear: to write for what a particular purpose, for what a particular reader, and in what form
(11) Compare the semantic structures of note and those of personal letters
The necessary elements of notes are as follows:
Date^ salutation^ purpose^ closing form^ signature
The necessary elements of personal letters are as follows:
Heading^ salutation^ body( purpose and information) ^ complimentary close ^ signature
(12) Assignment: Write personal letters based on each of the subjects given below.
A. Your friend Mike has been seriously injured in a traffic accident, but you don’t have the time to go and see him for the time being. Now write to him to express your concern and tell him about the likely time of your visit.
B.A friend’s child has just died. Write a letter of condolence to him or her.
C. A friend has just got a job or promotion in a certain company. Write to congratulate him or her.
D .Write a letter to an old person of 81 years old, congratulating him on his birthday.

General consideration in designing vegetative biofilters
ⅠIntroduction
Historically vegetative biofilters, such as grass swales, were used primarily for stormwater conveyance (Ree12). However, with passage of the Clean Water Act (CWA) and the focus on water quality management of urban runoff, the potential for application of these techniques has begun to be reconsidered and many additional benefits have been identified. Today biofilters are being applied to address all of the design objectives of urban SWM. These include: reduction of urban runoff impacts, groundwater recharge, water quality control, stream channel protection and peak discharge control.
Three different types of vegetative biofilter BMP types have been identified and are described in this manual. These include: grass swales, vegetated filter strips and bioretention cells. In addition, grass swales contain three variations: traditional grass swales, grass swale with a media filter and 3) wet swales. Thus a total of five BMP types are available for use and are described in this paper.
ⅡVegetated Biofilter Types
A.Grass Swales
Grass swales have traditionally been used as a low cost stormwater conveyance practice, called grassed waterways, in low-to-medium density residential developments. Most public works agencies throughout the U.S. have a typical rural road section standard that allows the use of grass swales within the public right of way. During the early years of SWM technology the focus was on peak discharge control and grass swales were not given much consideration (Ree23). As the focus of SWM programs expanded to include water quality considerations and pollutant reduction, the grassed swale has been perceived to represent a potentially important element of the treatment train approach to total SWM (Yousef et al. 231).
It is now generally recognized that vegetated grass swales have a number of desirable attributes with respect to total SWM (MDE 201). These attributes include:
● slower flow velocities than pipe systems that result in longer times of concentration and corresponding reduction of peak discharges
● ability to disconnect directly connected impervious surfaces, such as driveways and roadways, thus reducing the computed runoff curve number and peak discharge
● filtering of pollutants by grass media
● infiltration of runoff into the soil profile, thus reducing peak discharges and providing additional pollutant removal
● uptake of pollutants by plant roots (phytoremediation)
Figure 2-1 Grass Swale(MDE209)
B.Dry Swale with Filter Media
The dry swale consists of an open channel that has been modified to enhance its water quality treatment capability by adding a filtering medium consisting of a soil bed with an underdrain system (CRC 196). The dry swale is designed to temporarily store the design water quality volume (VWQ) and allow it to percolate through the treatment medium. The system is designed to drain down between storm events within approximately one day. The water quality treatment mechanisms are similar to bioretention practices except that the pollutant uptake is likely to be more limited since only a grass cover crop is available for nutrient uptake.
Figure 2-2 Dry Swale with Filter Media(MDE209)
C.Wet Swales
The wet swale also consists of a broad open channel capable of temporarily storing the VWQ but does not have an underlying filtering bed. The wet swale is constructed directly within existing soils and may or may not intercept the water table. Like the dry swale, the VWQ within the wet swale should be stored for approximately 24 hours. The wet swale has water quality treatment mechanisms similar to stormwater wetlands, which rely primarily on settling of suspended solids (SS), adsorption and uptake of pollutants by vegetative root systems. Figure 2-3 illustrates the design components of the wet swale (MDE33).
Figure 2-3 Wet Swale (MDE 211)
D.Vegetative Filter Strips
VFS and buffers are areas of land with vegetative cover that are designed to accept runoff as overland sheet flow from upstream development. They can be constructed, or existing vegetated buffer areas can be used. Dense vegetative cover facilitates sediment attenuation and pollutant removal. Unlike grass swales, VFS are effective only for overland sheet flow and provide little treatment for concentrated flows. Grading and level spreaders can be used to create a uniformly sloping area that distributes the runoff evenly across the filter strip (Haan et al.21).
Filter strips have been used to treat runoff from roads and highways, roof downspouts, very small parking lots, and pervious surfaces. They can also be used as the “outer zone” of a stream buffer or as pretreatment to a structural practice. VFS are often used as pretreatment for other structural practices, such as infiltration basins and infiltration trenches. This recommendation is consistent with recommendations in the agricultural setting that filter strips are most effective when combined with another practice (Magette et al.12). Figure 2-4 illustrates the primary design components of the filter strip (CRC232).
Figure 2-4 Vegetative Filter Strip (CRC 19)
D.Bioretention
The bioretention concept was originally developed by the Prince George"s County(PGC), Maryland,Department of Environmental Resources in the early 1990"s as an alternative to traditional BMP structures. Bioretention is a practice that manages and treats stormwater runoff using a conditioned planting soil bed and planting materials to filter runoff stored within a shallow depression. The method combines physical filtering and adsorption with biological processes. The system consists of a flow regulation structure, pretreatment filter strip or grass channel, sand bed, pea gravel overflow curtain drain, shallow ponding area, surface organic layer of mulch, a planting soil bed, plant material, a gravel underdrain system, and an overflow system. Figure 2-5 illustrates these primary design components of the bioretention cell (MDE, 210).
Figure 2-5 Bioretention Cell (MDE, 210)
ⅡGeneral Design Considerations
A.Design Flow Volumes and Rates
The design flow volumes and rates are typically determined by the design objectives for the site or project. Design objectives can include: 1) traditional use flow conveyance, 2) water quality control on small sites or in a treatment system approach, 3) reducing the impact of development on the hydrologic regime alterations of a site, 4) addressing groundwater recharge concerns, 5) reducing impacts to stream channel erosion and 6) controlling peak discharge for the 2-, 10- and 100-yr storms.
These various design objectives can have individual or overlapping design volume requirements that affect the design process. A brief description of these design considerations is provided below.
a.Design to Reduce Hydrologic Regime Alterations
The use of biofilters to reduce hydrologic regime modifications is not new. The hydrologic regime changes associated with land use change, especially land development activities, have been well documented. The creation of impervious areas, in particular hydraulically connected impervious areas, can greatly alter the pre-development rainfall runoff relationships and produce larger volumes of runoff and higher peak discharge rates.
Vegetative biofilters such as grass swales incorporated into a rural road design can be used to replace a traditional curb and gutter road section approach. Grassed swales can be used in some development conditions to reduce the amount of impervious surfaces, as well as to disconnect directly connected impervious surfaces.
The publication “Urban Hydrology for Small Watersheds: TR-55” published by the Natural Resources ConservationService (NRCS) of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA, 106), provides convenient procedures that allow the design engineer to readily calculate the potential reduction in runoff volume achieved by reducing the total volume of impervious area. This procedure uses the well known runoff curve number (CN) method. A number of recent publications (PGC, 107) that describe the Low Impact Development (LID) design approach to stormwater management have documented the use of this approach.
In addition to reducing the total impervious area and the CN value, vegetative biofilters can also be used to effectively disconnect directly connected impervious areas. An impervious area is considered connected if runoff from it flows directly into the drainage system. It is also considered connected if runoff from it occurs as concentrated shallow flow that runs over a pervious area and then into the drainage system (USDA, 111). The disconnection of impervious areas by means of pervious areas such as grass swales, filter strips and bioretention systems can further reduce the CN value and the corresponding runoff volume.
While the NRCS computational procedures have been available for some time, few design engineers are familiar with application of the methods or make frequent use of the techniques. However, as documented in the previously cited publications as well as the recently published Maryland Stormwater Design Manual (MDE, 220), these techniques can be used on many sites to produce better site design and reduce both the design runoff volume and the peak discharge rates.
The NRCS CN computational procedure is described in greater detail in the TR-55 publications and is not reproduced here. The method also relies on graphs and credits designs that limit impervious area to 30% with a lower CN value. The computational example presented below is derived from EPA and takes into account credits for impervious area below 30% and disconnected impervious area.
b. Design to Provide Water Quality Management
Currently the great majority of local jurisdictions simply require that BMPs be sized to provide peak discharge control of the 2-, 10- and 100-yr storms, and assume that this approach provides an adequate level of water quality management.
Maryland"s Unified Sizing Criteria (MDE, 212) uses SWM credits. These credits emphasize better site planning techniques, to preclude, reduce and/or minimize the hydrologic and water quality impacts associated with new development activities. Measures may include conserving natural areas, reducing directly connected impervious areas (as defined above), and use of buffer strips and swales. These credits allow engineers to incorporate the broader concepts of Low impact Development (LID) and groundwater recharge within a site design and reduce BMP size, i.e., more traditional pond and swales.
Vegetative biofilters can be sized based on the volume of runoff to be treated. many local jurisdictions are designing BMPs to capture and treat the runoff volume from small storms, ranging from the first ? to 1 in. of runoff (measured in watershed inches). Typically these small storm events are related to some percentage of the total annual rainfall/runoff volume. These estimates range from 70% of the total annual runoff volume for the ? in. storm event to 90% of the total annual runoff volume for the 1-in. storm event.
A number of States in the Mid-Atlantic region, including Maryland (MDE, 212), have adopted a target rainfall event for estimating the design Water Quality Volume (VWQ) for sizing vegetative biofilters. This event targets capturing 90% of the annual runoff volume (90% rule) and is based on the data reported in the literature (Driscoll, 11). For the Mid-Atlantic region and much of the Chesapeake Bay Watershed, this corresponds to a rainfall value of 1.0 in. This value will vary for different climatic conditions.
Some jurisdictions are currently using other sizing guidelines, such as the capture and treatment of the first ? in. of runoff. This criteria may be acceptable for lower impervious areas but will have decreased pollutant capture efficiencies for a higher impervious areas and a lower capture percentage of the annual runoff volume. In addition, several biofilter BMPs are ideally suited to retrofitting applications where full storage is often constrained. Designers and regulators should recognize that the 90% rule is targeted mainly at new construction and is based on maximizing pollutant load capture. Practices sized for smaller treatment volumes can be acceptable in many situations.
Several water quality volume procedures are described. Two simple methods, the Short Cut Method and Small Storm Hydrology, can be utilized to estimate VWQ. Both rely on computing a volumetric runoff coefficient (Rv) and multiplying this by the rainfall volume to obtain a runoff volume in watershed inches.
B. Protection of Biofilter System
This section presents guidance for selecting the most appropriate vegetative biofilter for a particular development site. This information has been condensed in a series of tables that help designers and municipal officials select the most effective stormwater filter for their situation. In addition, vegetative biofilters are compared against other stormwater practices that also could be applied at the site (e.g., ponds, wetlands, infiltration and filter systems). The comparative pollutant removal, feasibility criteria and environmental benefits of the vegetative biofilters are compared to the other BMP practice groups.
Experience indicates that three factors should be considered in selecting the appropriate biofilter. First is the compatibility of the biofilter with the land use type. Second is the compatibility of the biofilter with site conditions such as space consumption, available head, cost or maintenance consideration. Third is the effectiveness of the biofilter design in removing the key pollutants of concern. Usually, by the time all three factors are considered, the filtering options are narrowed down to one or two design options. The engineer can then compare the design criteria for the remaining options and select one based on cost and effectiveness.
C. Suitability and Selection Considerations
This section presents guidance for selecting the most appropriate vegetative biofilter for a particular development site. This information has been condensed in a series of tables that help designers and municipal officials select the most effective stormwater filter for their situation. In addition, vegetative biofilters are compared against other stormwater practices that also could be applied at the site (e.g., ponds, wetlands, infiltration and filter systems). The comparative pollutant removal, feasibility criteria and environmental benefits of the vegetative biofilters are compared to the other BMP practice groups.
Experience indicates that three factors should be considered in selecting the appropriate biofilter. First is the compatibility of the biofilter with the land use type. Second is the compatibility of the biofilter with site conditions such as space consumption, available head, cost or maintenance consideration. Third is the effectiveness of the biofilter design in removing the key pollutants of concern. Usually, by the time all three factors are considered, the filtering options are narrowed down to one or two design options. The engineer can then compare the design criteria for the remaining options and select one based on cost and effectiveness.
a.Land Use Factors
As a group, vegetative biofilters can be applied to a diverse range of development conditions. However, individual designs are limited to a much narrower range. These common development situations include urban retrofit sites, parking lots, roads and streets, small residential subdivisions and backyard/rooftop drainage.
For example, in urban retrofit settings where space is at a premium, the bioretention cell hasproven to be one of the most versatile. In most cases, the space requirements of grass channels, swales and filter strips are so great that they can be eliminated from consideration.
b. Site Conditions
A third key feasibility factor is the cost of constructing the filtering system, and again, the designs exhibit a wide range. The most expensive designs, based on the cost per impervious acre treated, are the underground sand, organic sand, perimeter sand and gravel filters (design criteria not provided). The dry swale are in the mid-cost range, whereas bioretention, wet swales, filter strips and grass channels are very attractive options from a cost standpoint. It should be noted that the construction cost does not include the price of land. If land costs are significant, the rank-order changes dramatically.
IVConclusion
Small changes in site planning by incorporating disconnected impervious area and retaining pervious area may have a profound impact on the potential runoff. Calculation of lower CN values based on 30% area or less unconnected impervious area should be used judiciously. The intent of this exercise should not be to increase lot sizes to achieve the 30% threshold but to achieve the 30% threshold by promoting disconnection and by reducing impervious areas.
Also, cleared and graded sites erode, are often severely compacted, and can no longer prevent rainfall from being rapidly converted into stormwater runoff. Disturbance of a soil profile can significantly change its infiltration characteristics and with urbanization, native soil profiles may be mixed or removed, or fill material from other areas may be introduced (USDA 126). Infiltration values of published soil maps and most available models for typical urban soils ignore compaction (Pitt et al.20) and therefore pervious effects may be overstated.

2.簡述你持有以上看法的理由。Which is more important,wealth or health? This is a difficult question which is often argued by people.Everybody has his own answer. In my view,I prefer the former than the latter. Why? The following points can well suport my statement. Firstly, wealth include not only money but also knowledge, experience, intelligence, etc. one who has no money would has neither food for eating nor clothes for dressing, how can he do anything else. Secondly, if one only has health and he has no knowledge, we think he is a ignorant man. He can eat, sleep, walk, but he can"t make any contribution to the society. Finally, if you have wealth, you can do anything you want to do, such as travel, buying anything you eager for a long time, you can also do something good for the poor and for anyone who wants help. In short, wealth can bring you anything which involve health. I think this is a practical answer

Small brain, the eyes turn round Liuliu stop, coupled with the hairy body, especially elicit people like. I felt I needed to have an idea of buying a handful of chick-let.

It is also called The Spring Festival or The Lunar New Year. The exat date of the festival on the western calender changes from year to year. However The Chinese New Year take place from Janurary 1st to Febrary 19th. On the Chinese calender every year has an animal"s name. These animals are rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, ram, monkey, rooster, dog and pig. A Chinese legend says these twelve anmials had a race, the first year was named after the rat, the winner. The other eleven years were named according to the order the animals arrived in the race.

At the same time we need to pick up the ball which falls to the ground. So after one game you will be very tired if you have tried your best. Though I can"t play it very well, I still show great interest in it. I think playing table-tennis can build our bodies, keep us healthy and train our brains.

1、Leave of Absence
April 8th
Dear Mr. Zhang:
I am sorry to tell you that I cannot go to school today because I had an accident yesterday.
Yesterday afternoon, a motorcycle crashed into my bicycle when I was on my way home. It happened when I was going to make a turn and the motorist didn’t expect my turning. Fortunately, I jumped down from the bike before it ran into me.

Yours respectfully,

In the process of participating, please remember to listen carefully, watch seriously and write down something interesting.

I hope each participant could hand in their visiting report next Monday.
Please be on time and I’m looking forward to seeing you then. At last, wish you have a good time!

3.范文:
I burned the mid-night oil last Saturday evening, so I got up very late Sunday morning. Jack and I had arranged to go to the park today and I called him the moment I rose up from the bed. We would meet at the gate of the entrance to the park.
When we got there, there were so many people that we elbowed our way to the park entrance. There was a spacious square where some people were doing exercise. Some were playing shadow-boxing while some were dancing. Also there were some people reading books in front of a lake. We had brought kite with us and we flew it for a while. After having lunch there, we went home at noon. We really enjoyed this splendid Sunday.
4.范文:
Where do you like to live? That is an interesting question. Usually people like to live in big city. But recently, more and more people chose to live outside the city, to live in suburb.
It is true that living in big city is convenient and entertaining. Your work place is not far away, and after work, it is easy for you to call your friends to go to a bar or cinema. There are supermarkets, shopping malls. You can easily buy any stuff you need. Want to have a dinner? No problem, there are plenty kinds of restaurants for you to choose.
In contract, living in suburb is quite different. It serves fresh air and beautiful
scenery and, for someone that is the most important thing, quiet. Though living in suburb has some inconvenient aspects, some people seem to prefer to sacrifice some convenience to live in quiet places. And as cars and internet are becoming more and more common, living in suburb is not so boring like before.
5.范文:
Nowadays, ads plays an important role in our modern society. More and more advertisements are seen on our TV screen, especially the commercial ads. It’s difficult to find a program without insertion of ads on TV. Food, clothes, cars, everything you can think of, are presented on TV.
Of course, TV ads have positive aspects. For one thing, they can provide viewers with valuable information. For another, the wide spread of TV ads can also stimulate the economy. However, TV ads have negative aspects, too. For example, these ads often interrupt interesting programs we are watching.
So I think the government should control and manage the TV ads well to give us a clean and beautiful TV screen.
6.范文:
Doing physical exercises helps everyone to keep health. A person who take exercises spends more energy .The more energy he spends, the more blood he uses, so physical exercise can increase the flow of the blood ,Which does good to our health, Sports can also make our minds sound .While playing we take our minds off work or study. As a result, our minds are relaxed.
Since sports can result in good health, we should take part in for a while every day no matter how busy we are.
7.范文:
During my leisure time, I have quite a lot of activities to do.
The two activities I love most are reading and shopping. I usually spend the whole morning of Sunday reading novels or magazines at home and then go shopping with my friends in the afternoon. I feel very relaxed when I am walking around with them because we can enjoy the beautiful goods displaced in the shop widows and we can talk about whatever we like. When I see a bookstore, I will ask my friends to go inside with me, too, because I want to buy the latest best-sellers.
I do enjoy these activities in my leisure time because they make me feel happy.
8.范文:
My ideal job is to be a teacher. I choose to do so mainly for three reasons. First, I want to teach because I like the pace of academic calendar. Two long vacations offer me an opportunity for reflection, research and writing. Secondly, I want to teach because I like the freedom to make my own mistakes, to learn my own lesson, to
stimulate myself and my students. And I can have the opportunity to keep on learning.
Finally, I want to teach because, being around the students who are beginning to grow and change in front of me, I will grow and change with them too.
But teaching is not an easy job at all. I must study cleverly to obtain more knowledge. And, at the same time, I will make every effort to purify my soul so that I can become an architect of man"s soul.
9.范文:
Ever since I have learned English, I feel that English is not that easy. For most Chinese people, grammar is one of the most difficult parts in English learning. If people do not have a good grasp of grammar, it is difficult for them to speak well. As for vocabulary, there are so many words that it is often an arduous work to memorize them. Although many people memorize a lot of English words and know well about English grammar, they still cannot speak English very fluently. Many Chinese learners still speak awkward English, even though they may be proficient at other skills. One reason for this is their lack of practice. Just as the saying goes, “Practice makes perfect”. So if people want to handle these difficulties in English learning, they should grasp every opportunity to practice.
10.范文:
My favorite hobby is swimming.
Many people like to swim in summer. So do I. Just imagine! What fun it is to jump into the water in hot summer! In hot weather, I often go to swim in the swimming pool with my family. Swimming can not only make us strong and healthy, but also helps us to keep in good shape. But few people like to swim in winter because it is too cold. Swimming in winter needs much courage. I hope one day I can be strong enough to swim in winter.
11.范文:
Nowadays we have a great number of means of getting information. Libraries provide us with books, while Internet offers us information resources.
My favorite means of getting information is surfing the Internet. It enables me to search what I want within just a few seconds. We can also visit foreign website without paying. In addition, when we confront some problems, we can go to Baidu Knowledge or Yahoo Clever to ask for help, and we can often become satisfying answers.
Internet helps me really a lot. I enjoy searching information through Internet.
12.范文:
Both health and wealth are the two things that everybody wants. However, it is difficult for most of us to own both at the same time. So which one would you choose first?
For me, I will put health in the first place. There are two main reasons for it. On the one hand, we need to have a strong body so as to make a living. If we are weak or
sick, we will not be able to work hard. What’s more, we have to pay for the expensive treatment and medicine in the hospital. On the other hand, even if we are rich enough, there are so many diseases that are not possible to be cured. Money is nothing when we are hopelessly ill.
In a word, health is always more important than wealth.
13.范文:
My hobby is watching movies at home. I have developed this interest ever since I was a high school student.
I love this hobby for mainly two reasons. First, movies are very attractive and interesting. I can learn a lot of stories and knowledge by watching them. Second, I can kill time when I am too bored. A movie usually lasts for about two hours. So if I feel bored, I can spend the time watching movies and enjoy myself at the same time. Watching movies is indeed a very interesting hobby for me.
14.范文:
The one I love most is my mother, who gave me my life and all her love.
My mother is in her fifties and she has retired. She is a very kind-hearted women and everybody likes making friends with her. Before she retired, she had to keep working hard to make money and take good care of me. She never complains about life although life is tough for her. And when I have any difficulties in my life, she always encourages me to overcome those problems.
I love my mother most!
15.范文:
Everybody has his own dream. My dream is to travel all over the world.
I have had this dream ever since my childhood. I love traveling and I wish to see different parts of the world. I wish to make friends with people from different countries. If my dream comes true, I will go traveling by myself. I won’t join any package tour. I know there is a man who travels the whole world with 3000 thousand dollars. He made money by doing part-time jobs while traveling. I think I can learn from him.
How I wish my dream to come true!
16.范文:
I am interested in learning English and I have been learning English for more than ten years. Unfortunately, I am not very good at it.
I find speaking and listening the most difficult in my English study. Because I have no partners to talk with in my spare time, I don’t have the chance to speak much. Listening is hard because there are so many different accents and the speakers usually speak very fast. I can’t follow them.
There are many new words to learn everyday. I am not good at remembering them well. Writing and reading are not easy for me, either. I think it is also because of the words.
I know English is very important. I will try my best to overcome all the difficulties in my study.
17.范文:
Health is very important for everyone. People use every possible method to keep healthy. How to stay in good health state?
I have three pieces of advice. First, we should have a healthy diet. By this I mean we should eat regularly, and we should avoid the junk food such as the fried food and the food with too much sugar. Second, we should keep doing sports. It is said that the easiest way to keep fit is to walk fast for at least half an hour a day. Third, be relaxed. We are under a lot of stress from work and family, and we should release the stress by doing something we enjoy. For example, we can do shopping, watch movies and listen to music.
It is not difficult to keep healthy if we know the methods and follow them.
18.范文:
I am planning to travel to Beijing in the winter holiday.
I choose this city because it is one of the most popular places of interest in our country. As it is the capital, there are many famous spots in Beijing, such as the Great Wall, the Forbidden City, the Summer Palace and so on. Besides, there are many well-known universities like Peking University and Qinghua University.
I will go to Beijing with my best friend Lily. We will go by air. We plan to spend a week there, visiting all the famous spots and universities.
19.范文:
My hometown Guangzhou is a very beautiful and modern city in the south of China. It is the capital of Guangdong Province with a long history of more than 2,000 years. Guangzhou is the center of economy, politics and education of the province. Everybody can have a good time here. You can visit a lot of museums, parks and universities here. You can do shopping like crazy in this city. People here are very friendly. For example, they are always ready to offer their seats to others who need them in buses and subway.
I hope my hometown Guangzhou will attract more and more visitors each year.

21.范文:
Just as lots of teenagers take to pop music, I love basketball. It"s part of my life. I began to play basketball in my childhood. I still remember the good old days when I played with my classmates after school. Later on, as I grew up, almost everything changed, but this sport—playing basketball remained and my love of it grew even stronger.
I love this sport because it brings joys and health to my life. When I got tired from office work, I went to the sports ground and felt refreshed. If there were worries and cares from daily life, I went to the sports ground. There everything went away except basketball. It is basketball that keeps me in good shape and mood.
22.范文:
There are so many different jobs in the job market, and the job I like most is teaching.
To be a teacher is a dream I have had ever since my childhood. As a teacher in a school, he can pass knowledge down to many children. As a result, people respect teachers very much. What’s more, teaching has become a better-paid job than ever before. The government has made it a policy that teachers should be as well paid as the civil servants.
Teaching is meaningful and rewarding. That is why I like the job.
23.范文:
My favorite food is chocolate. It is a very popular food all over the world.
I love chocolate for two reasons. On the one hand, it is the most tasty snack I have ever tasted. There are several flavors, and I like the black chocolate most.

My favorite book is titled Three Hundred Poems of Tang Dynasty. My grandfather bought it to me when I was a little girl. I still keep this book in my bookshelf now. I love this book most among all because it is one of the best collections of the literatures throughout the history of China. I can learn the poets by the most famous poets during the Tang Dynasty, such as Li Bai, Bai Juyi and Du Fu. Their well-known works have been passed down from generation to generation. I will show the book to my children in the future.
Three Hundred Poems of Tang Dynasty is the best book I have had.

We can see around us that more and more students are going to own a mobile
phone .From NOKIA to SIEMENS, from national to imported, from low price to high price……
As a communication device, the mobile phone benefits us a lot. We can use it to keep in touch with our families, our friends and our classmates wherever we are. In festivals, we can send short messages to wish good luck to other people we known. It brings us a lot of convenience.
As a coin has two sides, the mobile phone also has disadvantages. We spend too much time on spelling our words and sending short messages that we can"t focus on our studies. Also, you will always be annoyed by strangers" calls one after another. In my opinion, we can use it. But we shouldn"t spend too much time on it and don"t let it disturb us from our studies. And we should not easily tell people our phone numbers who we don"t recognize.
范文二
With the rapid economic development, the mobile phone has found its way into campuses and a host of students take advantage of this wonderful gadget to communicate with each other. This phenomenon gives rise to this question: What are the advantages and disadvantages of the mobile phone?
It is widely believed that it greatly facilitates students" campus life. Many instances could be found to support this type of opinion. A graduating student in our university bought a mobile phone in the course of hunting for his job. He told me that through the mobile phone he could easily keep in touch with the employer of the company he intends to work with and would not miss any opportunities.
However, everything has both positive and negative facets. The mobile phone also has many disadvantages. For instance, the ringing of the mobile phone often disturbs the teacher"s teaching and other students" learning.
Personally, the advantages of the mobile phone outweigh the disadvantages of it as long as we don"t interfere with others while using it.
范文三
Wherever you are, you can see many people use mobile phones. It seems that the world becomes smaller nowadays. You can be reached wherever you are if you take a mobile phone with you.
Some people think that the mobile phone is necessary and useful to them. With a mobile phone at hand, it is convenient for them to keep in touch with others. The young like to send text messages, surf on the Internet, listen to music and even take photos with the mobile phone. In some dangerous moments, it even can save people’s lives.
However, many people don’t like the mobile phone. Some hate receiving harassing messages and telephones. Some think the cost of the mobile phone is high for them. Others think that its radiation is harmful to people and it brings some diseases to people.
Whether we like the mobile phone or not, it affects our life and plays an important role in our daily life. What is more important is that we should use it in a proper way.

Spring festival is coming. It"s a traditional day for the Chinese people to get together besides the Mid-Autumn Day. For this reason, many people rush home wherever they are. However far they are and however busy they are, they try to go home. I am one of those who hate it because after one festival, I become one year older. Another reason is that there are many more ceremonies before or after the festival.
However, this spring festive is a bit special for me. I had a wonderful time. We didn"t stay at home but had a travel and order a rich feast /dinner in a restaurant. Though it was very much expensive, we could spare much effort preparing the dinner which we couldn"t have eaten and also we could have a lot of time to enjoy ourselves. You see, nowadays, the living standard has been greatly improved and eating is not so much a problem as before, so we have to find other kind of ways to enjoy ourselves.Traveling is a good way of spending the traditional festivals. We went to Xishuangbaina, Dali, and the Stone Forest. My family, especial my children are all excited, learning a lot about the Minorities" tradition. I wish one day I could go abroad to spend the festival if we could make enough money!
范文二
Spring festival is a Chinese traditional festival and it’s very important for Chinese people. During the spring festival period, workers will have a 7 days vacation. Everybody has his/her plan for the vacation. As far as I am concerned, I’d like to do such things as learning, relaxing myself and staying with my family. The vacation will usually last a long time, more than 20 days for the students. So, it’s a good time for me to adapt myself to learn something new and review the knowledge I’ve learned. Meanwhile, after the past intense learning period, I think it’s a nice relaxation time for me. Finally, I think the spring festival is the time during which I should accompany my families and cherish the warm and fragrant time with them.
I think it’s a good time for me.
范文三

Dumplings are the most traditional food. Children like the festival very much, because they can have delicious food and wear new clothes. They can also get some money from their parents. This money is given to children for good luck. People put New Year scrolls on the wall for good fortune.
The Spring Festival lasts about 15 days. People visit relatives and friends with the words “Have all your wishes”. People enjoy the Spring Festival and during this time they can have a good rest.

My favorite hobby is swimming. Many people like to swim in summer. So do I. Just imagine! What fun it is to jump into the water in hot summer! In hot weather, I often go to swim in the swimming pool with my family. Swimming can not only make us strong and healthy, but also help us to keep in good shape.
But few people like to swim in winter because it is too cold. Swimming in winter needs much courage. I hope one day I can be strong enough to swim in winter.

I am interested in learning English and I have been learning English for more than ten years. Unfortunately, I am not very good at it. I find speaking and listening the most difficult in my English study. Because I have no partners to talk with in my spare time, I don’t have the chance to speak much. Listening is hard because there are so many different accents and the speakers usually speak very fast. I can’t follow them.
There are many new words to learn everyday. I am not good at memorizing them well. Writing and reading are not easy for me, either. I think it is also because of the words. I know English is very important. I will try my best to overcome all the difficulties in my study.

Where do you like to live? That is an interesting question. Usually people like to live in a big city. But recently, more and more people choose to live outside the city, to live in suburb. It is true that living in big city is convenient and entertaining. Your work place is not far away, and after work, it is easy for you to call your friends to go to a bar or cinema. There are supermarkets and shopping malls. You can easily buy any stuff you need. Do you want to have a dinner? No problem. Tthere are plenty kinds of restaurants for you to choose.
In contract, living in suburb is quite different. It serves fresh air and beautiful scenery and for someone quietness is the most important thing. Though living in suburb has some inconvenient aspects, some people seem to prefer to sacrifice some convenience to live in quiet places. And as cars and internet are becoming more and more common, living in suburb is not so boring as before.

Nowadays, environment problem is becoming a common concern to people all over the world. Frequent natural disasters which caused by environment problems such as earthquakes and sandstorms, make people think about the solution. Many people come to the idea of planting more trees.
In my opinion, planting more trees is a wonderful choice. Since trees are deeply rooted under the earth and can protect water and soil. This helps to lessen the loss when disasters come. Take a sandstorm for example, the forest which is made of thousand of trees may slow down the speed of the wind to some extent. When it blows up the sand, the sand can not form a big storm. Obviously, this is one aspect of the advantages of planting trees.
All in all, let us plant more trees to protect our living environment

Which is more important, health or wealth? When given this question, different people have varied answers. Some insist that health plays a more important role in our life, while others see more advantages arising from wealth.
The first group of people argues that, on the one hand, a strong person can do almost anything as long as he/she tries hard. On the other hand, however, rich people will not be able to enjoy the wealth if their days are numbered. In contrast, the wealth has such arguments as follows. For one thing, wealthy people will be able to buy more healthy foods. For another, they can enjoy better facilities to improve their
health.AsfarasIamconcern;范文二;Somepeopleinthisworldbel;Asforme,Iwouldchooseheal;Sothetruevalueoflifedoes;35.范文:;Nowadayswehaveagreatnumb;Myfavoritemeansofgetting;Internetreallyhelps
health. As far as I am concerned, both health and wealth are important to our life. We should try to strike a balance between them and gain wealth with a healthy body.
范文二
Some people in this world believe that wealth weighs much more important that health. In their points of view, they take wealth as their vital pursuit.While others think that health is a fundamental part of man"s life.
As for me, I would choose health rather than wealth as an aim for which I would like to put my whole life to chase. The reasons why I am leaning health are that firstly, a healthy body is invaluable and nothing in this world could purchase it even you have stocked tons of golden bars in your yard; secondly, you can create a better life by working hard with your body to live in a bigger house, drive an expensive car or go to many other places, but what if your body is in very serious condition? Will you still have that strength and mood to enjoy all of those?
So the true value of life doesn"t rely on the amount of wealth you have, but the healthy body, with which you are holding a ticket to the promising future.

Nowadays we have a great number of means of getting information. Libraries provide us with books, while Internet offers us information resources.
My favorite means of getting information is surfing the Internet. It enables me to search what I want within just a few seconds. We can also visit foreign website without paying. In addition, when we confront some problems, we can go to Baiduknowledge or Yahooclever to ask for help, and we can often get satisfying answers.
Internet really helps me a lot. I enjoy searching information throgh Internet.

Whether we like to learn a new object or not largely depends on whether we could find out the interest of it. English, one of the most charming languages in the world , attract me deeply all the time. If you ask me why I like to learn English, three reasons will be referred to in a response.
First, I enjoy English songs and movies as well as English tragedy. In my childhood, English songs became my best partner. With their beautiful and smoothing music I could sleep sound every night . Then I grow up, I find another charm of this language, Hollywood movies, which, full of fantasy and humor, brings me to another world of joy and happiness. Furthermore, when I began to read English stories, the tragedies written by Shakespeare expose the human nature and help me gain an insight into human being and the world.
Second, as a freshman of GDUT, I could hardly fail to notice the significance of technology. However, most of valuable academic books of technology are written in English. Driven by my ambitions in my field, I was ,am ,and will be determined to learn English with a concentrated effort.
Finally, I am eager to understand the culture of the U.S. ,for instance, to
experience the way how an ordinary American boy achieves his American Dream and attain successful accomplishment. In spite of all the efforts we have made, we cannot shake the status of the United States, the only superpower in the world. I want to hunt for the answer why and how this power rises, which also serves as another motivation for my interest in English. As we all known, language is an aspect of culture which could help me find the answer.
In all, I like to learn English, and I believe my interest could motivate me to learn more and attain more.
范文二:
When it comes to which subject I like more, there’s no doubt that it’s English. Some people assumed surely that it’s hard for us to speak English. To some extent, they hate it. For my part, I will make greater achievement, if I can conquer it. As time goes by, the more I practiced it, the more I get. It was the great achievement that let me like it.
Because it’s necessary for us to learn foreign language, especially English, with the world becoming a country. And then we can cope with the problems when talking to foreigners. Furthermore, having a good command with English provides us with an advantage over others to get a highly-paid job. It also can bring a lot of friends. All in all, you will lose yourself in it and like it, as soon as you concentrate yourselfves to learning it. For English is such interesting that will increase our career opportunities, broaden our horizons and enrich our life.
37. 范文一:
Childhood is some time that everyone will keep as the most valube thing in his life. All of us want to go back to childhood to enjoy it once more. When it comes to childhood , we always can’t control our emotions .
I was growing up in a small village. Aroud my hometown are many green hills and trees. Though it is not beautiful enough to attract visitors, it gives me a lot of joy. The most interesting thing I think, is wandering on hills, looking for wild fruit. The fruit made my childhood sweety. Acctually, I grew up with the wild fruit.
Another pleasure is catching fish in pool or river in my spare time. To be honest, I am not good at fishing. What I liked is catching fish just by hands. It was very exciting when fingers touched the fish under the water.
Though at that time, lacking of money made it little chance for me to have toys; I got big entertainment from nature. There were many other interesting things in my childhood that I can’t get all out here. When thinking of them, I always can’t help feeling deeply moved.
范文二:
I am already 18 years old, but the memory of my childhood is still like an unforgettable sweet dream. One day, all my family went to climb a mountain. There father told my elder sister and me that the first one to get to the top of the mountain would be given a toy. Hearing this, we began to run up. At first I kept ahead, but a few minutes later my sister was ahead of me. However, I didn"t give up. That toy attracted me to run forward. In the end, I reached the top first. On the top we enjoyed the
beautiful scenery and had a picnic. At dusk, we went down the mountain happily. I was the happiest one, because I not only got a toy train but also knew that one shouldn"t give up readily.

SUBJECT: INCREASING PROFITS
Here is the report you requested on Jul.12, 2013 on the department store’s profits.
Your uneasiness was right. As we only focused on some high-quality products, we can’t expand market share in other aspects, then the profits fell sharply.
The solutions to the problem are clear. We need to take some cares in other marketing.
? Set up some convenience stores, discount stores and speciality stores as competition did.
? Expand foreign retail chains in some economically potent states like China and Japan.
? Make transition of service mode to follow the consumer demands.
Thank you for giving me the opportunity to work on this assignment. If you have any questions about the report, please call me.
Executive Summary
In the past six months, the profits of Harrods department store’s fell sharply. As a result, several similar famous store groups are now heavily in debt. The report studies the cause of the fell and recommends solutions to the problems.
Causes of the fell
We have found three causes relating to the fell:
? Market Positioning is inflexible.
? The Foreign market didn’t develop well.
? Service concept was out of date.
Some positions and service concepts are out of date, it’s lower customer satisfaction. We also found that a large number of staff numbers and managers lack awareness to follow with customer’s consumption concept. Harrods department store may start training their staff to keep up with modern customer’s idea.
Measures to Increase the Profits
? Set up some convenience stores, discount stores and speciality stores as competition did.
? Expand foreign retail chains in some economically potent states like China and Japan.
? Training staff. Make transition of service mode to follow the consumer demands.
Estimates for Implementing the Proposal
Most of the expenses of implementing the measures will be on set up new stores and expand foreign retail chains. They are estimated to be 25, 0000 pounds.

Introduction
In last several months, there’s sharply profits fell showed on the financial reporting form Harrods department store. Our company, TWCB, as requested the solution by Harrods department store’s manager, we immediately looked into the matter and found three problems which may have caused the decreasing. The fiscal third quarter of this fiscal year will end in two months. We will do everything to solve the problems before customers switch and never to return.
In this report, I will describe the problems we found in the department store and propose three possible measures to solve them and the estimated cost.
1. Purpose, Scope, and Challenges
· Purpose: the purpose of this report is to analyze what caused the problem and how can we solve it as soon as possible. The report gives the result of the investigation.
· Scope: we immediately formed two teams, one of which checked the department store regularly and the other conducted a survey on customer. The first team hangs around the store for 7 days in a row and constantly does some shopping to see how the service feels like. The second team designed questionnaires collecting customer’s comments on the store. The result was not as bad as we had expected. But the store should do something before it becomes a real problem.
· Challenges: the department store has been facing tremendous challenges and pressure as the number of competitions grows at high speed each year. For instance, some customers select one store visit regularly out of ten. Our store is facing increasing competitive pressure.
2. Methods
We conducted the investigation through two methods: interviews and questionnaires. We sent out 1000 questionnaires and 800 customers responded to them. 300 customers chosen randomly from customer questionnaire’s numbers were interviewed.
Part Two
The Decreasing Profits in Harrods Department Store
In last six months, there’s sharply profits fell showed on the financial reporting form Harrods department store. We did research on the decreasing problem.
1. 25% Decreasing compared with 2011
After the research, we found that under the strategy of Harrods, to offer a wide choice of products and personalized service, the department store has worked well until recently. Last year, however, profits fell sharply and results for the first six months of this year have been disappointing. Then we did a comparing with this store’s profits from January to June in 2011 and 2013, there is the chart:

2. Competition’s Average Profits in 2011&2013
After compared with our own store’s profits in 2011, one of our team did research on our competition’s average profits in 2011&2013. Here is the table (on next page):
From the table, we can see that, when Harrods department store’s profits decreasing sharply in this two year, the competition has grown a lot; it gives us a great competitive pressure at now and future. We need to do something to change the bad situation.
3. Major Causes of the Decreasing
From the research, we can see the major problems which caused the decreasing, and we summarized them as follows:
? As we only focused on some high-quality products, we can’t expand market share in other aspects, our market positioning is inflexible.
? As economic globalization becomes strong, our foreign market should develop more deep and widely.
? Our strategy is good, but it didn’t pay attention to nowadays shopping fashion. Service concept was out of date.
We must take concrete measures to solve all the problems.
Part Three
Impact on Harrods Department store
The decreasing of the profits not only made damage to the economic interests of Harrods department store, it wills also jeopardizing the Harrods’ brand reputation and then when we need more funds to increase the profits will be very hard.
1. More Funds Needed to Increasing Profits
Indeed to increasing the department store’s profits, we should do a lot of research and work. To make a perfect solution, all the projects will spend a lot of money to get the most accurate answer. During the whole things, we will cooperate with many famous companies on investigation or doing business expanding. To make sure everything is moving on schedule and is within the budget, we will make an accurate expense, and expect to complete the project without exceeding the budget.
2. Jeopardizing the Harrods’ Brand Reputation
With the result of our questionnaire, we can see that: among the 800 customers, 650 are employees and rests of them are teenagers and senior citizens. In the employees group, 25% of them with an annual income of 100, 0000£or more, and others annual income is about 30, 000 to 80,000£. The high income group didn’t show any unsatisfactory to the service and product. But in the middle income group, many of them want value for money and to feel they have got a bargain and services which make life easier or save time, which they think Harrods can’t serve well.
Part Four
Methods for Increasing the Profits
The working team has worked out methods to increase the profits of the department store. We will depend on marketing positioning, foreign market, and training new service concept as our main approaches to our customers.
Three Ways to Increasing the Profits
? To attract customers we will rebuild our department store to make a place for some discount goods. And in other city area, like communities and shopping mall, we will set up some convenience stores, discount stores and speciality stores as competition did. But as the long history and special brand charm we has, our stores will be very different from others. We will develop a new message to our potential customers, that “Luxury culture also can be an Approachable culture.” The message together with pictures showing features of our new stores will be advertised in the local papers, magazines, and our new catalogs.
? Although HARODDS is a successful department store in London and has many chain stores in New York and Italian, we can’t ignore the mega consumer market in some Asian countries, like China and Japan. These countries own a large consumer population, which makes them consumer markets with great potentials. So we should try to connect with those local business men to expand our foreign retail chains and develop foreign markets.
? With a survey shows that: as the English population ages, older groups will provide opportunities for sales growth. And nowadays the English consumers want value for money and to feel they have got a bargain. Britain is moving from a luxury culture to a convenience culture. People want services which make life easier or save time. So the old service concept was out of date, we should do a series of trainings to improve staff’s awareness of the shopping fashion and their competence in competing in the market. The training mainly focuses on how to serve customer in a pleasant way. Then most of potential customers will switch to our stores.
Part Five
The Fund Needed to Carry Out the Measures
The estimated costs for the measures are summarized below:
Training staff 5, 0000£
Rebuild department store& 12,0000£
Set up new stores
Expanding foreign retail chains 8,0000£
Part Six
Conclusions and Recommendations
Although problems exist, great business potential is waiting to be exploited. We have calculated that all the measures should bring an increase in profits by 23% in three months. Under a improved service concept and create a more comfortable shopping environment, Harrods can remain high in profitability and offset the threats.
The Office has worked out three recommendations:
· Set up a committee (composed of store’s managers, customer representatives and government staff) to monitor the service.
· Carry out training for the store’s staff and managers.
· Advertise the feature changes of the store on the local news papers.

2. Yesterday I paid a visit to a model high school, together with my friend. It’s very big with a beautiful fountain in the center of the schoolyard.
We started our visit from the main building. First we went to the lab building where some students were doing experiments. Then we entered the lecture hall behind the lab building and saw many students listening to a lecture given by a professor. Opposite to the lecture hall was the art center. There we watched groups of students playing musical instruments. Finally we arrived at the playground at the far back of the school. Some boys were having a football game, which was so exciting that we couldn’t help cheering for them.
It was really an impressive visit.

英語寫作(10)
英語寫作利器之定語從句
要想寫出定語從句,首先要保證兩個簡單句中有重復詞匯,再將含有重復詞匯的兩個簡單句合成定語從句。
一. 合并法
【使用條件】寫作要點中要有重復詞匯。(該重復詞匯一般是名詞或代詞,第二次出現可能會用代詞代替)
【步驟】
第一步:把兩個句子翻譯成英語簡單句,并標出重復詞匯。(如出現代詞,則把代詞換成它替代的名詞)
E.g.我校將舉辦一場演講比賽,它的主題是人與自然
__________________________________ ________________________________________.
第二步:確定主句和從句,將從句的重復詞匯用對應的關系詞替換并提至從句句首。
注意:1. 在確定主句和從句時,需根據中文構思判斷合成后的句子主要想表達哪個要點,含有該要點的就是主句。
2.用關系詞替換時,如重復詞匯前有介詞時,用關系副詞替換;沒有介詞時,用關系代詞替換。
按照這個步驟,上面的句子哪句是主句?哪句是從句?
__________________________________ _________________________________________
從句的重復詞匯為:___________________。 用哪個關系詞提到它?______________. 且把關系詞提到哪里?____________
第三步:將替換后的從句作為整體置于主句重復詞后面。按照該步驟,上面的句子最終可合并為:_________________________________________________________________________.
這樣,一個完整的定語從句就出來了。
二.拆分法
【使用條件】修飾成分中有主謂短語
【步驟】
第一步:在中文語境下,把被修飾語拆分到兩個完整的句子中去,然后再翻譯成英文。
例:這個行李箱(suitcase)是媽媽送個我的生日禮物。
_______________________________________________________________________________
_______________________________________________________________________________
第二步:確定主句和從句,將從句的重復詞匯用對應的關系詞替換并提至從句句首。(跟合并法的第二步一樣)。上面的句子中,從句可變為:
_______________________________________________________________________________
第三步:將替換后的從句作為整體置于主句重復詞后面。
按照該步驟,上面的句子最終可變為:
______________________________________________________________________________.
用定語從句合并下列的簡單句。
1. The scientist is very famous in the world. We met her yesterday.
_______________________________________________________________________________
2. The dress is new. She is wearing it.
_______________________________________________________________________________
3. He is the kind person. I have ever worked with him.
_______________________________________________________________________________
4. This is the best film. I have ever seen this film.

Principles of English Gun Control : Need Should
24 October 2017
Marketing Catalog
Xiangxi Liu claims in his essay “Gun Control NO!” published on Zhihu website in 2016 that there is no need for government in America to achieve gun control thoroughly. He emphasizes that Americans need guns as protection in case because of inadequate police distributing over America. “If the nearest police station is 45-minutes-ride away your home, what can you do without guns when some bad guy is trying to break into your house” He said, “Call 911 Or just call for an ambulance.” He offers a story of his friend who was attacked at home without guns and his own experience as a gun-taking agent for federation as an illustration. It’s understandable to believe Xiangxi argued as above basing on his desire to make response to questioners in the website. Besides, considering his job as gun-taking agent for government, it can be assumed that he wanted to express his own ideas about gun control which he thinks are clear enough to help insight this issue.
In “The NRA thinks you"re stupid” (2017) published on CNN, Michael A. Nutter argues that National Rifle Association(NRA) has no sincerity to take action on gun control. He points out that the leaders in NRA chose political distraction instead of real gun safety reform because of the great benefits from guns. According to Michael, the attitude of NRA is not satisfactory because “It is an amazing display of disingenuous and cynical political sleight of hand that, the NRA grudgingly agrees that some regulation of these devices is OK.” To support his argument, the author quotes what NRA said to its supporters “it is OK to support ‘some regulation’ of bump stocks”, and also offers questions both straight and emotional to challenge NRA’s motivation and sincerity. As far as Michael’s profession is concerned, a reporter for CNN, it can be assumed that his argument is not only about his thoughts but to gain greater amount of readers as well.
In a 2015 article published in Analysis of Social Issues and Public Policy, Wolfgang Stroebe insists that gun prevalence is positively related to homicide rates. The argument outlines that there is no evidence for a protective effect of gun ownership and contrarily for the unsafe aspect. As what Stroebe suggests in his article, although guns are not a primary determinant for homicide, their efficacy as murder instruments just makes it easier. The author shows a horrible mass-shooting event first following graph made of data about US household gun ownership rate and homicide rate, which are functioned as an illustration. Then a few other firearm-related deaths related gun-ownership are provided to further explain the similar influence gun prevalence has. Considering Stroebe’s identity as the emeritus professor of social psychology at Utrecht University and a senior researcher, who has gain reputations, it’s reliant to believe he writes this article to make contributions to the field Social Psychology which he devoted decades to studying.
In assay “Unpacking Heat: Dueling Identities and Complex Views on Gun Control among Rural Police” published in Rural Sociology, Rachael A. Woldoff, Robert C. Litchfield and Angela Sycafoose Matthews argue that officers’ view about gun control varies as their multiple identities change in the life, such as police trying to control dangerous situations with guns they encounter and citizens who desire guns as self-protection. “Officers symbolically rejected the concept of gun control and instead supported individuals’ gun rights while most of them distanced themselves from gun-related aspects of rural identity”, the authors say. However, authors also point out that when it comes to on-the-job experiences, most of them shows concern about bad influence gun-ownership has on everyday life and also desire to control it. This article is mostly basing on an opinion research about rural police’s attitude to gun control, which covered 200 towns in rural areas. Also, the testimonies of incumbent police make the argument convincing. Like what the authors write in the article, they want to make supplementary contributions about what views rural officers possess on gun control, which is understandable to believe on account of their professions including scholars and officer from FBI. And there is possibility that they want to gain reputations for higher positions in career.
Recommendation
For the first article: 1) Unlike most people in China, Liu contradicts gun control in America, which is likely to appeal to people who have similar opinions. They will certainly know more about gun control and may reaffirm their view. And the supporters of gun control may also read this to find mistakes it has. 2) However, basing on lots of experiences of him and his friends, I can feel a tone of subjectivity, though he offers some results of researches supporting the argument. Overall, it’s trustworthy to read this essay considering the profession of the author.
For the second article: 1) As we all know, NRA has a complicated reputation and influence around the America. Almost everyone interested in guns’ issue takes care of its movements. Therefore, an essay criticizing NRA will certainly attracts audiences mainly as above and people caring about politics. What they will gain includes backgrounds of gun control and the more specific relationship between NRA and guns. 2)There are many direct questions the author asks to NRA, which are consistent in logical and thus powerful. What worried me most is the lack of the data and results from rigorous researches and analysis.
For the third article: 1) Even if gun control has been a hit for years, academic articles related this issue are still hard for people who are little educated. Nevertheless, the language there is not much scholarly so that I suppose the readers will not only be experts well educated in associated fields but also people really interested in this issue. It’s really a good chance for them to understand deeply about gun control from a deeper and more intellectual view. 2)What impressed me most is that the author has shown a strongly logical collaboration among the events as example, graphs made of data collected, and the analysis from researches. However, a slightly subjective attitude can be felt reading the article.
For the forth article: 1) The language in this article is a little sophisticated and contains academic terms. But the topic about rural officers’ opinions towards gun control is unique compared to the former essay related to this issue. Therefore, people with an upper level of education and who care about rural areas or care about gun control and officers’ opinions to it can be the ideal audience. 2)As far as I’m concerned, this article has a pretty abounded evidence about quotations and references which seems like burdens hampering the proof of their argument. Maybe there should be more mathematical models to support it and make the conclusions more credible.
3)As a native Chinese, who grew up in a country that has an extremely ban on guns, I really don’t have think too much about gun control and gun violence until I happened to know a series of mass-shooting in America, which shocked me a lot. At first, I feel quite unbelievable that there is a country where people can buy guns freely, then I wonder why. Maybe after researching the papers above I can figure out many questions in my mind about gun control. Perhaps I can understand why America doesn’t or can’t ban guns thoroughly though there is gun violence happening almost every year. (In fact, I have already known some reasons and answers after reading these articles mentioned above).
4)·Why can American people have gun privately Is there any background in history and society
·What is the number on average of the people dying from guns including both murder and commit suicide every year in America
·Is there any groups of interest that are associated with guns
·What do you think about gun control if you are a citizen/an officer
·Do you want to have guns if you live in America Explain why.

(1)增添法:常見的修飾詞有形容詞、副詞、數詞、名詞、名詞性詞組、
代詞等(adjectives, adverbs, numerals, nouns, noun phrases and pronouns)。修
飾詞通常在句中作定語或狀語。
1 添加形容詞 (addiong adjectives)
單個形容詞做定語一般放在被修飾詞之前,但修飾由any ,every, no
somebody, one 或thing構成的不定代詞時,放在其后。
2 添加副詞(adding adverbs)
如果句子里同時帶有幾個副詞做修飾語時,其位置應按一下順序排列:
程度副詞-----方式副詞------地點副詞--------時間副詞。
3 添加短語(Adding phrases)
短語有8種:名詞短語、動詞短語、介詞短語、非限定性短語(分詞短
語、動名詞短語、不定式短語)、同位短語、限定性短語。
(noun, verb, prepositional;
three kinds of verbal phrase(participial, gerund and infinitive),
appositive and absolute)
(2)并列法:包含三種方法
1 Coordinating pronouns (并列連詞)
2 Conjunctive adverbs (使用連接副詞)
3 Semicolon (運用分號連接)
(3)從屬法:
從句主要包括名詞性從句(noun clause),狀語從句(adverbial clause)和定語從句(attributive clause)。
名詞性從句又分為主語從句(subject clause)、表語從句(predicative clause)、賓語從句(object clause)和同位語從句(appositive clause)。
1 常見的狀語從句有時間、地點、原因、目的、結果、條件、比較、讓步等。
5、幾種短語拓展法:
(1)介詞短語進行拓展(expanding with prepositional phrases)
介詞短語在句中可做表語、賓語、定語、狀語和補語。作定語時置于所修
飾詞之后,做狀語時位置比較靈活,可位于句首,也可位于句中或句尾,
有時用逗號將其與句子的主體部分隔開。
(2)不定式短語進行拓展(expanding with infinitive phrases)
不定式短語做名詞時,可做主語、表語、賓語;做形容詞時,在句中作定語;
做副詞時,可以表示目的、原因、結果、狀語等。
(3)動名詞短語進行拓展(expanding with gerund phrases)
動名詞為動詞-ing形式,名詞性可做主語、表語、賓語、定語和補足語。動
詞性可以帶賓語和狀語。
(4)分詞短語進行拓展(expanding with participial phrases)
分詞短語有現在分詞短語和過去分詞短語兩種形式。
6、effective sentences(有效句)
(1) Effective sentences have some or all of the following qualities :

3、There are four types of English essays:
narration(記敘文),description(描寫文),
expositon(說明文)and argumentation(議論文)。
當我被上帝造出來時,上帝問我想在人間當一個怎樣的人,我不假思索的說,我要做一個偉大的世人皆知的人。于是,我降臨在了人間。
我出生在一個官僚知識分子之家,父親在朝中做官,精讀詩書,母親知書答禮,溫柔體貼,父母給我去了一個好聽的名字:李清照。
小時侯,受父母影響的我飽讀詩書,聰明伶俐,在朝中享有“神童”的稱號。小時候的我天真活潑,才思敏捷,小河畔,花叢邊撒滿了我的詩我的笑,無可置疑,小時侯的我快樂無慮。
“興盡晚回舟,誤入藕花深處。爭渡,爭渡,驚起一灘鷗鷺。”青春的我如同一只小鳥,自由自在,沒有約束,少女純凈的心靈常在朝陽小,流水也被自然洗禮,纖細的手指拈一束花,輕拋入水,隨波蕩漾,發髻上沾著晶瑩的露水,雙腳任水流輕撫。身影輕飄而過,留下一陣清風。
可是晚年的我卻生活在一片黑暗之中,家庭的衰敗,社會的改變,消磨著我那柔弱的心。我幾乎對生活絕望,每天在痛苦中消磨時光,一切都好象是灰暗的。“尋尋覓覓冷冷清清凄凄慘慘戚戚”這千古疊詞句就是我當時心情的寫照。
最后,香消玉殞,我在痛苦和哀怨中凄涼的死去。
在天堂里,我又見到了上帝。上帝問我過的怎么樣,我搖搖頭又點點頭,我的一生有歡樂也有坎坷,有笑聲也有淚水,有鼎盛也有衰落。我始終無法客觀的評價我的一生。我原以為做一個著名的人,一生應該是被歡樂榮譽所包圍,可我發現我錯了。于是在下一輪回中,我選擇做一個平凡的人。
我來到人間,我是一個平凡的人,我既不著名也不出眾,但我擁有一切的幸福:我有溫馨的家,我有可親可愛的同學和老師,我每天平凡而快樂的活著,這就夠了。
天兒藍藍風兒輕輕,暖和的春風帶著春的氣息吹進明亮的教室,我坐在教室的窗前,望著我擁有的一切,我甜甜的笑了。我拿起手中的筆,不禁想起曾經作詩的李清照,我雖然沒有橫溢的才華,但我還是拿起手中的筆,用最樸實的語言,寫下了一時的感受:
人生并不總是完美的,每個人都會有不如意的地方。這就需要我們靜下心來閱讀自己的人生,體會其中無盡的快樂和與眾不同。
“富不讀書富不久,窮不讀書終究窮。”為什么從古到今都那么看重有學識之人?那是因為有學識之人可以為社會做出更大的貢獻。那時因為讀書能給人帶來快樂。
自從看了《丑小鴨》這篇童話之后,我變了,變得開朗起來,變得樂意同別人交往,變得自信了……因為我知道:即使現在我是只“丑小鴨”,但只要有自信,總有一天我會變成“白天鵝”的,而且會是一只世界上最美麗的“白天鵝”……
我讀完了這篇美麗的童話故事,深深被丑小鴨的自信和樂觀所折服,并把故事講給了外婆聽,外婆也對童話帶給我們的深刻道理而驚訝不已。還吵著鬧著多看幾本名著。于是我給外婆又買了幾本名著故事,她起先自己讀,讀到不認識的字我就告訴她,如果這一面生字較多,我就讀給她聽整個一面。漸漸的,自己的語文閱讀能力也提高了不少,與此同時我也發現一個人讀書的樂趣遠不及兩個人讀的樂趣大,而兩個人讀書的樂趣遠不及全家一起讀的樂趣大。于是,我便發展“業務”帶動全家一起讀書……現在,每每遇到好書大家也不分男女老少都一擁而上,爭先恐后“搶書”,當我說起我最小應該讓我的時候,卻沒有人搭理我。最后還把書給撕壞了,我生氣地哭了,媽媽一邊安慰我一邊對外婆說:“孩子小,應該讓著點。”外婆卻不服氣的說:“我這一把年紀的了,怎么沒人讓我呀?”大家人你一言我一語,誰也不肯相讓……讀書讓我明白了善惡美丑、悲歡離合,讀一本好書,猶如同智者談心、談理想,教你辨別善惡,教你弘揚正義。讀一本好書,如品一杯香茶,余香繚繞。讀一本好書,能使人心靈得到凈化。書是我的老師,把知識傳遞給了我;書是我的伙伴,跟我訴說心里話;書是一把鑰匙,給我敞開了知識的大門;書更是一艘不會沉的船,引領我航行在人生的長河中。其實讀書的真真樂趣也就在于此處,不是一個人悶頭苦讀書;也不是讀到好處不與他人分享,獨自品位;更不是一個人如癡如醉地沉浸在書的海洋中不能自拔。而是懂得與朋友,家人一起分享其中的樂趣。這才是讀書真正之樂趣呢!這所有的一切,不正是我從書中受到的教益嗎?
我閱讀,故我美麗;我思考,故我存在。我從內心深處真切地感到:我從讀書中受到了教益。當看見有些同學寧可買玩具亦不肯買書時,我便想到培根所說的話:“世界上最庸俗的人是不讀書的人,最吝嗇的人是不買書的人,最可憐的人是與書無緣的人。”許許多多的作家、偉人都十分喜歡看書,例如毛澤東主席,他半邊床上都是書,一讀起書來便進入忘我的境界。
書是我生活中的好朋友,是我人生道路上的航標,讀書,讀好書,是我無怨無悔的追求。

增加語法結構
一、句子開頭的技巧
??? 改變句子的開頭方式,不要一味地都是主語開頭,可以把狀語等置于句首。如以下各個原句顯得平淡乏味,而改動句子開頭后的句子則生動有趣,充滿活力,自然就能提高作文檔次。

??? 靈活運用省略句、倒裝句、強調句、感嘆句、with的復合結構等多種句式。
??? (1) 省略句。如:

??? (2) 倒裝句。如:
??? 「原」He didn"t finish his homework until the teacher came.
「改」Not until the teacher came did he finish his work.
??? (3) 強調句。如:
??? 「原」Ah Fu had saved my little sister bravely.
??? 「改」It was brave Ah Fu who had saved my little sister.
??? (4) 分詞短語。如:

此外,還需要注意長短句交替使用,體現表達節奏美。
巧用連接成分
我們在寫作中,在把握文章的要點后,就要理清表達各要點的句子之間的邏輯聯系,使用恰當的連接成分,使不同的句子間建立有機的聯系,使文章使全文結構緊湊,通順自然。下面我們將常用的連接成分歸納為16類。

16. 其它起聯接作用的副詞:hopefully, naturally, strangely, specifically, basically, apparently, in this way等等。
使用高級詞匯
運用詞匯的數量和運用較高級詞匯是高考書面表達評分的一條重要依據。要做好這一點,我們可以從以下3點入手:
??? 1. 盡量使用詞組、習語來代替一些單詞以增加文采。如:用make use of替代use,用catch sight of替代see,用pay a visit to替代visit,用go on替代happen,用of importance替代important,用be supposed to替代should,用I come up with a good idea替代I have a good idea等。
??? 2. 使用一些很有“洋味”的單詞。如:
??? Thank you for sharing the time with us. (用share而不用spend)
??? The way he views the world is very practical. (用view而不用look at)
??? The noise nearly drove me mad. (用drive而不用make)
??? Tom had his leg broken last week. (用have…done而不用broke his leg)
??? Our school is located in the suburb of the city. (用is located而不用lies)
??? 3. 避免重復使用同一單詞或短語。如果前文用了interesting,后文就可用a lot of fun;若前文用了clever,后文就可用smart;若前文說了a good idea后文就可說a lovely idea,等等。再如:用I like reading while my brother enjoys watching TV就比用I like reading while my brother likes watching TV好。這樣就可以做到“別開生面”,給評判者以清新感,以避免文章陷入“千人一面”的窘境。

寫作是一種語言輸出的過程,這種語言輸出的能力不是一天就練出來的,而是要經過長期不懈的訓練才能獲得。然而在實際寫作過程中,有的學生感到無從下筆,即使能寫,也僅僅是簡簡單單的句子;有的學生甚至對英語寫作望而生畏,消極應付;總體上學生存在嚴重的英語表述上的困難。寫作能力不高主要表現在:母語影響、詞匯量少;單詞造句、搭配不當;不懂句型、語法不通;信息不全、條理紊亂;語言連貫性差,缺少鍛煉;缺少整體的謀篇布局和前后呼應。因此,如何有效地改進英語寫作教學,結合自己的教學心得,我認為,培養學生的寫作能力可從以下三方面入手。
一.擴展語言輸入,奠定寫作基礎
英語作為一門語言,它具有一定的工具性和人文性,它的結構應是:詞—句—篇。“詞”是基礎,“句”是過渡,“篇”是則是目的。整個訓練遵循“詞不離句,句不離篇”的原則,由淺入深,循序漸進,不斷提高。為了提高學生的寫作能力,我在日常教學中,嘗試了“詞、句、篇”三步曲的寫作教學。在教學中做到 “教、學、用”三者的統一。
(一)巧記單詞
書面表達需要一定的詞匯量,學生書面表達時容易忘記單詞或把漢英詞匯等同起來。因此,要求學生堅持每天聽寫、默寫、循環記憶單詞,掌握鞏固詞匯。還要求學生給出與單詞有關的同義、近義、反義和詞形相似的詞,使詞匯量得到最大限度的復現。
(二)用詞造句、連詞成句
造句是英語寫作中極其重要的一環。可以說,會造句就會寫作。要學會造句,需要注意以下幾方面。
1、熟練記憶詞匯和短語
這個環節是最基本、最重要的。記憶單詞和短語時,可以從五個方面入手:詞性、拼寫讀音、意思、用法。抓住了這一點,就像打好了萬丈高樓的地基。否則,寫作就無從談起。
2、熟練記憶各種句型和結構
在牢記詞匯和短語的基礎上,還要記憶各種句型和結構,為造句進一步打下堅實的基礎。像There be / How many / How much / be+adj / be+V-ing / make sb. do sth /plan/wish/hope/want to do sth.等句型和結構。在表達某個意思時,注意讓學生盡量使用學過的結構造句,不可隨心所欲地造出漢語式的英語句子。
3、掌握各種時態及語態的含義和用法
要寫出一個英語句子,就要明白時態和語態。也就是說,謂語動詞使用什么形式。這就要求學生對八種常用時態和兩種語態非常清楚。因此,熟練地使用各種時態語態對于造句尤為重要。
4、掌握句子類型和成分
簡單句的五種基本句型是句子類型中最基本的型式,每個英語句子都是以它們為模型寫成的。掌握了它們,適時引導學生擴大句式,鼓勵學生利用課文中的句型造句。另外還要訓練學生“一句多譯”的能力。有時候,拿到一個中文句子,可能不會譯,這時,就要想辦法,換成其他的表達方法,迂回曲折,達到目的。通過這樣的訓練,可以增加學生的多渠道的語言思維,提高應變能力,從而避免“中國式”的英語。
(三)連句成篇
此項訓練的主要目的是培養學生把語法項目、教材內容和文章體裁有機結合起來的能力。
1.要求學生仿寫。掌握在英語學習中所學到的連詞。只有連詞才能把句子連成語篇。
八年級所學課文都有一定的篇幅,老師在引導學生理解課文的基礎上,可要求學生用所學過的短語和句型,用自己的話把課文的基本內容簡要的表達出來。如在教授八年級第二單元閱讀理解,說明籃球的發明者是誰?是在說明情況下發明的。在老師的幫助下,學生可以吧短文改編為對話的形式展現出來。這樣既吧學生的讀、說的能力和寫的能力同時訓練了。也大大的提高了學生的興趣
2.列出提綱,引導學生寫作。
引導學生書面表達有許多形式,教師要從學生“學”的角度來設計教學活動,使學生的學習活動具有明確目標,并構成一個有梯度的連續活動。我首先采用給出文中的關鍵詞或短語,整理素材和文章要用到的信息和關鍵詞。幫學生做好鋪墊和理清思路,讓學生的大腦里有東西,這樣學生才有可能寫出東西來,幫學生樹立信心,克服心理恐懼,從寫作中獲得了成功的快樂,樹立了寫作的信心。
3.注重平時的詞句積累
鼓勵學生收集好詞好句,以便于在寫作時能信手拈來。
二.進行有效指導,扎實寫作訓練
1.巧設課堂,限時作文
訓練時當場發題,促使學生瞬間接受信息,快速理解信息,迅速表達信息,提高實際應用和應試能力。這一步是關鍵,也是學生的難關。首先必須使學生明白書面表達題既不是漢譯英,也不是作文,不可任意發揮,要求的是將所規定的材料內容經整理后,展開思維,目的在于考查學生運用所學英語知識準確地表達意思的能力。必須要求學生在寫作過程中牢牢記住以下口訣:“先讀提示,弄清要點與格式;時態語態要當心,前后呼應要一致;句子結構和搭配,語言習慣莫違背;文章寫好細檢查,點滴小錯別忽視。”學生明確目的并掌握要領后,要嚴格在規定時間內完成作業。訓練的初級階段,每次時間可放寬一點。隨著學生寫作能力增強,時間相應縮短,逐步做到20分鐘內完成任務,決不能養成拖拉的壞習慣。
2.優化習作批改,及時講評
作文的批改與講評是寫作教學的最后一個環節,也是其重要的一個環節。由于班級人數多,批改的工作量很大。因此,教師可以讓學生動手參與,互相評改。由于學生之間的了解更深刻,他們之間的相互交流往往能收到很好的效果。而當學生意識到教師并不是他文章的唯一讀者時,他們會更認真地寫好作文。因此,讓學生相互傳閱和批改作文不僅增加了寫作時的真實感,更重要的是,能訓練學生的語言意識和語境。

代詞等(adjectives, adverbs, numerals, nouns, noun phrases and pronouns)。修 飾詞通常在句中作定語或狀語。
① 添加形容詞 (addiong adjectives)
單個形容詞做定語一般放在被修飾詞之前,但修飾由any ,every, no
somebody, one 或thing構成的不定代詞時,放在其后。
② 添加副詞(adding adverbs)
如果句子里同時帶有幾個副詞做修飾語時,其位置應按一下順序排列: 程度副詞-----方式副詞------地點副詞--------時間副詞。
③ 添加短語(adding phrases)
短語有8種:名詞短語、動詞短語、介詞短語、非限定性短語(分詞短 語、動名詞短語、不定式短語)、同位短語、限定性短語。(noun, verb, prepositional; three kinds of verbal phrase(participial, gerund and infinitive), appositive and absolute)
(2)并列法:包含三種方法
① coordinating pronouns (并列連詞)
② conjunctive adverbs (使用連接副詞)
③ semicolon (運用分號連接)
(3)從屬法:
從句主要包括名詞性從句(noun clause),狀語從句(adverbial clause)和定語從句(attributive clause)。
名詞性從句又分為主語從句(subject clause)、表語從句(predicative clause)、賓語從句(object clause)和同位語從句(appositive clause)。
① 常見的狀語從句有時間、地點、原因、目的、結果、條件、比較、讓步等。
