很吃力 / 很费力地做某事
He is ill in bed for nearly a month, so he has a
hard time ______ the exam.
A. pass B. to pass C. passed D. passing
解析：have a hard time doing sth.“很难做某事”，
后面要用动词的-ing形式，所以选D。句意是：
“因为他在床上病了将近一个月，所以很难通过
考试” 。
2. She is working here and I’m going to summer school.
她在这里上班，而我在上暑期学习班。
1) 在本篇课文的两张明信片中，现在进行时大多用来表示“当前一段时间手头上正在从事的事情，而非说话的当时正在做的动作。这是现在进行时态的又一主要表意功能。这样使用时，比用一般现在时所写相同概念的句子读起来更加形象、逼真，好像事情就发生在眼前。例如：
I’m reading an interesting book these days.
这几天我在看一本有趣的书。
2) summer school 指暑假专门开办的学校或开设的课程，类似于我国的“暑假班”或“暑期补习学校”等。类似的还有night school (夜校) 等等。
3. I want to call you but my phone isn’t working, so I’m writing to you.
我想给你打电话，但电话不好用，所以我就给你写明信片了。
1) work 用来表示仪器、设备的“运作；运行；工作”。这种情况下，若用于否定结构，大多表示某一物件“坏掉了”或“不运作了”。例如：
The clock isn’t working now.
现在钟停掉了。
Can I come to your house this evening and watch the NBA game with you My TV doesn’t work.
我能今晚来你家跟你一起看NBA比赛吗？我家电视坏了。
2) write to 表示“给某人写信”。例如：
My friend, Tom, often writes to me. Now I’m writing to him.
我的朋友汤姆经常给我写信，现在我正在给他写信呢。
4. It’s hot in your country now, isn’t it
你们国家现在很热，对吧？
此句是一个陈述内容之后附加了一个简短的疑问部分，来对陈述的内容进行确认。语法把这样的疑问结构称作“附加疑问句”，也称为“反意疑问句”。例如：
It is very cold there, isn’t it
那儿很冷，是吧？
拓展：反意疑问句
反意疑问句由两部分构成，前一部分是陈述句，后一部分是一个简略问句。通常前面部分用肯定形式，后面部分用否定形式，前面用否定形式，后面用肯定形式，前后两部分时态要一致。例如：
You know her, don’t you
你认识她，不是吗？
They won’t come, will they
他们不会来，是不是？
