參考答案與范文

四、習(xí)作修改

作者主要講述了閱讀是自己最喜歡的愛(ài)好以及閱讀的好處。

1. so →because 根據(jù)句子的邏輯關(guān)系，此處表示原因。

2. 在as well 后加as 因as well as 固定搭配，表示“也；又，和”。

3. 去掉of 因此處是指從閱讀中獲得很多，介詞of 是多余的。

4. is→are 此處主語(yǔ)是a variety of books，要用are。

5. especial→especially 此處做狀語(yǔ)，應(yīng)該用副詞形式。

6. wrote→witten 此處表示“被寫”，應(yīng)該用過(guò)去分詞做后置定語(yǔ)。

7. helped→help 與and 后面的broaden 時(shí)態(tài)應(yīng)該一致，通過(guò)全文可知，應(yīng)該用一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)。

8. for→with 因provide ... sb. with sth.屬于固定搭配。

9. funs →fun 因fun是不可數(shù)名詞。

10. the→a 此處表示“一種快樂(lè)”，所以用冠詞a。

2. 重點(diǎn)句式翻譯練習(xí)。

六、課外作業(yè)

Dear Sir，

Im Li Hua，an 18-year-old boy from our city. I am delighted to learn that you need a part-time tour guide who can speak English fluently. So I am writing to apply for it.

I am fairly interested in this job. For one thing， I am expert at speaking English. I am so crazy about English that I often devote myself to practicing my spoken English in my spare time. Therefore， I have the confidence that I can communicate well with foreigners in English. For another， not only can I broaden my horizons， but also I have more chances to make more friends if I can get the job.

I sincerely hope that I can be accepted as a member of your company.

Sincerely yours，
