Task 4
Our world is always changing and making progress in many ways. Things are getting better and better.
Do you think so
Now let’s enjoy a video.
1. …looking after us was more than a full-time job.
……照料我们比做一份全职工作还辛苦。
这句话的主语是动名词短语looking after us。单个v-ing形式短语在句中作主语时，谓语动词要用单数。句中more than表示“不只是，多于”。例如：
He is more than a coach. He is a friend.
他不只是教练，更是朋友。
2. …what’s more, because I was a girl.
而且，我是个女孩。
what’s more表示递进，“然而/还有…… ”的意思，独立使用，既可以放句首，也可以放句中，what’s more后面加逗号。
你应该记住它，更重要的是，应该正确理解它。
You should remember it, and what’s more, you should get it right.
3. Generally speaking, I think life is better today.
总的说来，我认为今天的生活更好了。
generally speaking表示“一般而言，总的说来”。in general也可以表达同样的意思。例如：
Generally speaking, we enjoyed the trip.
总的说来，我们这次旅行很愉快。
In general, women live longer than men.
总的说来，女性比男性更长寿。
4. …and she goes to work even after getting married.
结婚后她也依然去工作。
get married意为“结婚”，表示短暂行为，不能与表示一段时间的状语连用。表示结婚多长时间，要用be married。
布朗夫妇结婚已50年了。

P21
Possible answer
Although transport is easier than it used to be, we now have much more traffic, which means it is harder to cross the road. There are more kinds of food now than before, but many people eat too much and don’t take enough exercise. Education and work for girls are much better than they used to be. Generally speaking, I think life is better, but it is noisier and busier.
