Leading in and warming-up
Let’s think about and discuss the following two words first:
What is a wonder
What is nature
Key points:
“wonder” is countable when referred to as “奇迹；奇观；奇事；
奇才；奇人”, but uncountable when referred to as “惊叹，惊奇”.
2. “wonder”, when used as a verb, means “want to know”.
For example, “I wonder if you are right” equals to “I want to
know if you are right”.
Leading in and warming-up
Let’s think about and discuss the following two words first:
What is a wonder
What is nature
Key points:
3. “wonderful” means something really great.
You can use it to replace the boring words,
such as “very good”, “great”,
in your writing parts, which makes it
easier for you to get a higher point.
Leading in and warming-up
Let’s think about and discuss the following two words first:
What is a wonder
What is nature
Key points:
4. “nature” is a word that you must know, not only because more and more passages in your High School Entrance Exams are about it, but because it’s a topic frequently talked about these years.
5. “nature” always comes with “damage/destroy”, “protect”, “environment”, “ecology”, “eco-friendly”, “pollute/pollution”
etc. in your reading parts.
Leading in and warming-up
Let’s think about and discuss the following two words first:
What is a wonder
What is nature
Key points:
6. The adjective form of nature is
“natural”.
Extra
Have you ever noticed that both “wonder” and “nature” have so many different yet similar forms Is there an easier way to remember all the forms
New words and word-building
As showed in past slices, word-building(构词法) is really necessary in all kinds of English tests/exams. What’s more, paronymous（同源词的）words are regarded as
“one word” instead of two or more in most English tests/exams. For example, “nature” and “natural” are “one word” according to most outlines（考纲）, which means we must learn, study or even master some of the basic word-building knowledge.
New words and word-building
Let’s start with some simple rules:
1.Compounding(合成法)
①A+B=AB
class+room=classroom
bed+room=bedroom
black+board=blackboard
（so you can guess
what “board” means）
New words and word-building
1.Compounding(合成法)
②A+V-ing=A-V-ing(Active) A+V-ed=A-V-ed(Passive)
English-speaking man-made
good-looking well-known
hard-working warm-hearted
③A controversial point
never=no+ever
night=no+light
bright=bring+light
flood=flow+wood
New words and word-building
2. Derivation(衍生法)
We can add a prefix(前缀) to a word to change its meaning (normally a prefix does not change a word’s class词性), or a suffix(后缀) to change its part of speech (also named as word class and normally a suffix does not change a word’s meaning).
New words and word-building
2. Derivation(衍生法)
We can see so many such words only in the first two paragraphs of this passage that we are going through:
①We add “-ful” to make it an adjective:
wonder vs wonderful hope vs hopeful
care vs careful use vs useful
②”-al”, “-ic”, “-ed”, “-ing”, “-ous”…are all adjective suffixes:
nature vs natural music vs musicial
fantasy vs fantastic scientist vs scientific
interest vs interested/interesting
danger vs dangerous
New words and word-building
2. Derivation(衍生法)
③While “-ion/-tion/-sion” are noun suffixes：
discuss vs discussion state vs station
pollute vs pollution act vs action
④We can add “dis-” to express the opposite meaning of the original word:
agree vs disagree like vs dislike
honest vs dishonest cover vs discover
New words and word-building
3. Conversion(转化法)
Conversion means one word has different classes(词性), sometimes even different meanings originated(源自) from the one meaning. We have at least two examples in this unit.
① “sign” means “write one’s name”
when used as a verb. Wonder why
Look at the picture.
It’s a sign of their own.
(From President of France)
New words and word-building
3. Conversion(转化法)
② “fall” also means “autumn” as a noun, but “drop” as a verb.
What do the three meanings have in common
Correct, they all go DOWN!
water down leaves down everything down
Let’s listen, read, learn and practice (I)

Extra:
①pay attention to (doing) sth
②Synonym(近义词) is the key to a high reading score and remember: the only way to excelling(胜出) in reading
parts is paraphrase(同意改写) .
Key words and expressions
3. noise vs sound vs voice
①noise: especially of a loud, harsh, or confused kind; loud shouting
I hate any noise while I’m sleeping.

② “e” stands for “electronic” in more and more words, especially in recent 20 years or so, such as:
email/e-mail=electronic mail
esports/e-sports=electronic sports, including video games and mobile phone games, in which we can join in to compete for the final standings and prize money.
Key words and expressions
7. millions of
①We must add “s” when the word “million” is followed by “of”, which can be seen in the text;
②Never put any numerals before the phrase since it doesn’t refer to an exact number;
× five millions of stars
√ millions of stars
③As showed above, the phrase will
always be followed by the plural form of a noun;
④Similar phrases:
dozens of; scores of; hundreds of; thousands of
Key words and expressions
8. one (pron.)
①When “one/ones” means “a person/persons”, it is always formal.
②You can also use “one” to avoid gender discrimination（性别歧视）and thus, at times, stands for plural form.
Everyone is special in their own way.·
③”one/ones” refers to a different thing in the same kind, while “it/they” refers to the same thing.
Try comparing the following sentences:

Key sentences and structures
1.would like (to)…
In most cases, would like (to) has pretty much the same meaning as “want (to)”, but in a more polite and formal way.
①If a verb follows, then we must use the “to do” structure:
I would like to go out tonight.
I would like to have a talk with you.
②If a noun follows, then the “to” is not added:
I would like a cup of coffee.
I would like some soup and fish.
Key sentences and structures
1.would like (to)…
③Do remember that “would” is a modal verb, which means that the third person singular does not exist, that it must be followed by the original form of a verb and that it functions the same as verb be in both interrogative（疑问的）and
negative（否定） sentence, such as:
He would like to leave alone.
What would you like
You can compare would with can to have a deeper
understanding.
Key sentences and structures
2. I’m not sure (that)…
In English, “sb be adj (that)…” is so frequently used and, of course, since “that” is there, the sentence pattern should be followed by a complete sentence. We can define(定义) the pattern as an Object Clause even though there has always been a hot debate on the clause type.
He’s afraid (that) he’ll be late.
I’m so worried (that) you will fail.
We were so glad back then (that) you won the game.
Key sentences and structures

What do they have in common and what should you pay attention to in writings or exams
Key sentences and structures
4. though≈although
It’s not that difficult to use these two words in writings, but you need to remember at least three things:
①Both words can not be combined with “but” in one sentence.
× Although/Though it is raining,
but I still go to school.
√ Although/Though it is raining,
I still go to school.
√ It is raining,
but I still go to school.
Key sentences and structures
4. though≈although
②If you use either of them at the beginning of a sentence, remember to put a comma before writing the main clause.
Although/Though it is raining, I still go to school.
But you don’t need to do so when writing the main clause first.
I still go to school although/though it is raining.
③”though” can be used as the last word of a sentence to equalize “but”, should be separated by a comma (,though), while “although” can not.
√ I think he is right, though. = But I think he is right.
× I think he is right, although.
Key sentences and structures
5. Degree modifier(修饰比较级)
We can put the following words before a comparative degree structure to make the sentence more precise.
①a little=a bit
Taking a car is just a little/bit faster
than taking a bus in traffic-jams.
②much=far=a lot
Taking a plane is much/far/a lot faster
than taking a train.
③even

⑤some/any
Are you feeling any better
I feel some better now.
⑥rather

Two basic speaking (and listening) skills
Two basic speaking (and listening) skills
1. Linking Sounds(连读)
When a word ends with a consonant sound（辅音发音）followed by a word beginning with a vowel sound（元音发音）,
the two words pronounce in a linked way(连读) just like they are only one word.
So in the sentence “I’ve never seen it,” instead of pronouncing like two words, /si:n/ /it/, you should speak like one word /’si:nit/. Like this:
I’ve never seen it.
Two basic speaking (and listening) skills
2. Loss of Plosion(失去爆破)
When a word ends with a plosive sound (/b/, /p/, /k/, /g/, /t/ or /d/ 爆破音) followed by a word beginning with a consonant sound, we just lose the plosive sound(失去爆破).
This rule also works for almost any single word, such as goodbye, or September should be pronounced like goo(d)bye and Se(p)tember most of the time.
Instead of speaking “That sounds great”, you should pronounce like “Tha(t) sounds great.”
