it 做形式主语
由于主语从句过长,为了避免头重脚轻,常常用it做形式主语,而把主语从句放在句末,常用的主要有以下五种句型:
It+be+形容词(clear/obvious/true /nature /surprising /good /wonderful /funny /possible /likely /probable /certain /fortunate)+that的主语从句……:意为“做……是……的。”
例如:It was surprising that she passed the difficult exam.真让人惊讶,她居然通过了这次有难度的考试。
It+be+过去分词(said/ reported/ believed/ thought/ expected/ announced/ confirmed)+that从句……:意为“据……。”
例如:
It's said that they are opposite-sex twins.听说他们是龙凤胎。
It+be+名词(a pity/no wonder/an honor/a good idea/a fact/ good news)+that从句……:意为“做……是……的。”
例如:It is a pity that you miss it.
It+及物动词(worry/shock)+that从句……
例如:
It shocks me that he failed in this exam.他没通过考试,震惊到我了。

Describe the city using the information provided and it as an empty subject.
Beijing today is multicultural. It is not a surprising thing for students to see different skin colours in the same class. It is possible for people to hear many different languages and dialects. It is easy for people to find products from all over the world. It is not difficult for foreigners to settle down and find a job. It is a common thing for people from different countries to work in the same company.
Thanks!
