Language points
agree是动词，意为“同意、赞同、应允”，其反义词为disagree。
I want to join the basketball club, but my aprents don't agree with me.
我想加入篮球俱乐部，但是我父母不同意。
常用结构有：
1.agree with sb. 同意某人的意见
2.agree to do sth 同意做某事
3.agree+（that）从句 同意……
1.agree的用法
hundreds of 意为“许多，大量”。当hundred，thousand，million等数词前面有数词修饰，表示具体的数字时用单数；表示非具体的数字时常用复数，且其后还要和of一起连用。
2.hundred的用法
即学活用
There are students in our school.
A.hundreds B.hundreds of C. hundred of
B
3.There are already robots working in factories.
There be sb.(sth.) doing sth. 有某人（物）正在做某事。
即学活用
There are some students （play）basketball on the playground.
playing
2. Fewer people will do such jobs in the future…
辨析such & so
such和so均可表示“如此；这样”。
1) such常用来修饰名词，so常用来修
饰形容词或副词。如：
Do you like such weather
I’m so glad to see you.
He can draw so well.
2) 当名词前有many，much，few或little等词修饰时，要用so而不用such。如：
There are so many /few people in the hall.
You have so much /little homework
today.
3) “such + a / an +adj.+可数名词单数”相当于“so +adj.+ a /an +可数名词单数”，表示“如此……的一个……”。如：
She is such a lovely girl.
= She is so lovely a girl.
