Answers Students’ own answers Part IV: Language points 1. How much progress in English do you think you’ve made this year, Lingling? 本句是雙重疑問句，how much progress 提問的是從句中的內容，主句為do you think, 再如下面的問句： What do you think has happened to him? He hasn’t turned up yet. Who do you think will be elected as president? When do you think the meeting will start? 2. Above all, it’s the subject that I’m best at, although my handwriting could be better. 注意本句中表達書法不好的委婉說法：my handwriting could be better。另外，注意表述最重要的因素時使用的above。再如： I prefer to live in the suburb. The air is clean, traffic is light, and above all, the cost of living is low. 3. Learning a foreign language requires a certain effort, however easy it is. However在本句中意思是“不管多么”，用來連接讓步狀語從句，一般情況下however后要接形容詞或副詞，如： However simple it is, you should be careful. However hard you try, you won’t persuade him. 連接讓步狀語從句時，however, wherever……之類的結構在口語中可用no matter how / where……結構替代，如： No matter who you are, you should obey the law. ＝ Whoever you are, you should obey the law. No matter when he comes, he always brings some presents. ＝ Whenever he comes, he always brings some presents. Wherever you are, you can hear people speaking English. ＝ No matter where you are, you can hear people speaking English. 4. You mean, those clubs where you go to practise your English? 這里you mean表示“你意思是說……?”， 常用于口語中，用于核實你確實聽懂了某人所說的話。例如： -- Do you remember Jane? -- The woman we met in Scotland, you mean? You mean we’re supposed to tell you if we want to leave early? 動詞mean在口語中有很多搭配，請試著說出其漢語意思： I’ll take that sandwich away if you don’t eat it properly—I mean it! (我是認真的) Yes, I see what you mean. That would be the best way to do it. (我明白你的意思) See what I mean? Every time she calls me up she wants me to do something for her. (懂我的意思嗎？) I’m sorry, I didn’t mean it--- it was just a stupid thing to say. (我不是有意的) 5. I always thought they were for people whose English was already quite good. 在這個句子中，thought 表示“原以為…… (但實際并非如此) ”。 I thought he was honest, but I’m wrong. I thought you would be late—it rained so heavily! Part IV: Pronunciation and speaking Task 1:Activity 7. Look at the stressed words in this passage from the conversation.
