Phrases
1. The students spend the weekdays studying with Chinese students.
这些学生平时和中国学生一起学习。
(1) spend意为“花（时间）；度过”，常用搭配是spend some time (in) doing sth, 意为“花（时间）做某事”。如：
我花了两个小时读这个故事。I spent two hours reading the story.
spend还可意为“花（钱）”。如：

tourist n. 旅游者；观光者

辨析tour, journey ,trip ,travel
tour是类似周游、观光旅游的旅行，
比如tour of London, tour of World，一般短语就是on the tour of some place.
journey是着重于行程时间比较长的旅行，较正式，
比如我们在飞机上常常看到Wish you have a good
journey. ；另外journey还强调抽象的“旅程”的意思，比如: Life is a journey.
trip是有目的性的旅行，强调“短期旅行”，但实际上口语上trip和journey是可以互换的。
travel的意思就很广泛了，算是一个总称，着重于“离开居住地去其他地方作短途旅行”。
3. “It’s been a fantastic experience so far,” says Eric.
埃里克说：“到目前为止，这是一次很棒的经历。”
(1) fantastic adj. 极好的；了不起的

你体验过艰苦吗？ Have you experienced the hardship
(3) so far 到目前为止；迄今为止
可与up to now互换使用，常用于现在完成时的句子中。例如：
到目前为止，我见过那个老人三次。
I have seen the old man three times so far/ up to now.
4. I’ve learnt a bit of t’ai chi, and I really enjoy it.
我学了一点太极拳，并且我非常喜欢它。
(1) a bit of 意为“一点；小量”，后接不可数名词。a bit 意为“一点”，用于修饰动词、形容词和比较级。
【拓展】a little 也意为“一点”，可以直接修饰不可数名词、动词、形容词和比较级。例如：
我现在还有点时间。 I still have a bit of / a little time now.
