Culture Focus
讲英语国家的人爱谈天气，尤其是英国人，或是英国气候多变。一周内会雨天，阴天，刮风或阳光天都有。天气是一个很方便的话题，用来见面打招呼，很像我们中国人过去喜欢用吃饭否来打招呼。天气话题也可以作为开场白，然后引入其他话题。天气是一个安全的话题，很容易让人们轻松开谈，和谐共处。
Language points
1. How’s it going 情况怎么样？
How’s … 句型在问候语中用来询问对方的情况。
答语常为：Great. / Pretty good. /Not bad.等。
你的学习情况如何？
How’s it going with your study
【拓展】 表达问候还可以用 How are you 进行询问，答语常为“Fine, thank you.”。
这两句话的重点不在于询问，而在于问候或打招呼。
2. Sounds like you’re having a good time. 听起来你玩得好开心。
这是一个省略句，相当于 It sounds like you’re …。英语It sounds like …与It sounds …句型近似，都表示“听起来……；听上去……”。这种省略的用 法十分口语化，在日常英语会话中经 常听到。例如：
(It) Sounds like he’s all right now.
(It) Sounds like you had a good time on your trip.
3. study 作“学习”讲时，是不及物动词。
They are studying for the English test.
4. take a message 捎个信
Can I take a message for her
5. No problem. 没有问题。
— Can you make a kite
— No problem.
