Language Points
1. The first of October is China’s National Day, isn’t it, Lingling
本句中的The first of October意为“十月一日”。
英语中日期的表达法有以下两种：
日+月+年
月+日+年
例：I was born on 4th May, 2008. 我出生在2008年5月4日。
The accident happened on December 18th, 1979. 这个事件发生在1979年12月18日。
读法：the+序数词+of+月份+年
月份+the+序数词+年
2. People have celebrated the National Day since then.
since then意为“从那以后”。
该短语作句子的时间状语，主要与现在完成时连用。
3. The People’s Republic of China was founded on 1st October, 1949.
found意为“创建”。在本句中的形式为founded，是过去分词，不是过去式，意为“被创建”。
The People’s Republic of China意为“中华人民共和国”，中华人民共和国成立于1949年10月1日，是工人阶级领导的、以工农联盟为基础的人民民主专政的社会主义国家。
4. It’s on 4th July.
on在本句中作为介词，连接具体的时间。
除了on可以接时间，还有in，at也可以。
in、on、at三者的用法：
①in+月、季、年、世纪、周等
②on用在具体的某一天（如星期、日期或节日）或者将来某一天的上午、下午或晚上前。
③at用于具体的时间，如：at 7:00, at down, at noon, at dask, at midnight, at night。
5. We’ll stay there until the end of the holiday.
until意为“直到……为止”。既可以作介词，也可以作从句引导词。在本句中作介词。
until后面接的短语the end of the holiday等同于时间状语从句until the holiday is over。
6. My family always go somewhere interesting as soon as the holiday begins.
as soon as意为“一……就……”，强调动作紧密相连。在本句中作时间状语从句的引导词。如果主句是祈使句或一般将来时，从句就用一般现在时来表达将来的状态，称为“主将从现”和“主祈从现”。
somewhere interesting意为“好玩的地方”。该短语中，somewhere一类的词统称为“不定代词”。形容词和动词不定式统一放在不定代词的后面，即“不定代词+adj.+to do sth.”。
