Last year, I did not like my English class. Every class was like a bad dream. The teacher spoke so quickly that I could not understand her most of the time. I was afraid to ask questions because of my poor pronunciation. So I just hid behind my textbook and never said anything.
Then one day I watched an English movie called Toy Story. I fell in love with this exciting and funny movie! So I began to watch other English movies, too. Although I could not understand everything the characters said, their body language and the expressions on their faces helped me to get the meaning. I also realized I could get the meaning by listening for just the key words. My pronunciation improved as well by listening to the conversations in English movies. I discovered that listening to something interesting is the secret to language learning. I also learned useful sentences like “It’s a piece of cake” or “It serves you right.” I did not understand these sentences at first. But because I wanted to understand the story, I looked them up in a dictionary.
▲as well/also/either/too
①as well意为“也”,在口语中使用很多,和too可以互换,通常用于句末,不用逗号隔开。
②also用于肯定句,常位于be动词、助动词或情态动词之后,行为动词之前,不用于句末。
③too用于肯定句,比also更通俗,和as well可以互换,常放在句末,并用逗号隔开。
④either用于否定句中,而且只能放于句末。
