My pronunciation improved as well by listening to the conversations in English movies. I discovered that listening to something interesting is the secret to language learning. I also learned useful sentences like “It’s a piece of cake” or “It serves you right.” I did not understand these sentences at first. But because I wanted to understand the story, I looked them up the words in a dictionary.
Then one day I watched an English movie called Toy Story. I fell in love with this exciting and funny movie! So then I began to watch other English movies, too. Although I could not understand everything the characters said, their body language and the expressions on their faces helped me to get the meaning. I also realized I could get the meaning by listening for just the key words.

1.find it + adj. + to do sth.
find it + adj. + to do sth.意为“认为做某事.......”
这里的it是形式宾语,真正的宾语是to do sth.
具有这样类似的结构还有:
think it + adj. + to do sth.
make it + adj. + to do sth.
feel it + adj. + to do sth.
【find用法归纳】
find sb. doing sth. 发现某人做某事
find it + adj. + to do sth. 发现做某事很……
其中it是形式宾语, 形容词做宾补, to do sth.是真正的宾语。同类的词还有think, feel, consider等。
2. so ... that“如此……以至于”,引导结果状语从句。so修饰形容词或副词。常见结构:
① so+形容词 / 副词+that从句;
② so+形容词+a(n)+单数可数名词+that从句。
such和so的区分
so…that与such…that之间的转换既为 so与such之间的转换。
so和such的区别是:
⑴ so修饰形容词或副词, such修饰名词。
e.g. My brother runs so fast that I can’t follow him.
我弟弟跑得那么快以至于我跟不上他。
He is such a boy. 他是一个这样的孩子。
⑵ so修饰的形容词后可以有一个单数的可数名词,其结构是“so+形容词+a/an+可数名词单数”。
3.But I was afraid to ask questions because of my poor pronunciation.
be afraid to do sth 害怕/不敢做某事
be afraid of doing sth 害怕做某事(担心出现不良后果)
be afraid +that 从句 恐怕·········(令人遗憾或不好的事情)
4.as well/also/either/too
①as well意为“也”,在口语中使用很多,和too可以互换,通常用于句末,不用逗号隔开。
②also用于肯定句,常位于be动词、助动词或情态动词之后,行为动词之前,不用于句末。
③too用于肯定句,比also更通俗,和as well可以互换,常放在句末,并用逗号隔开。
④either用于否定句中,而且只能放于句末。
5. discover v. 发现; 发觉
指偶然或经过努力发现原来客观存在但不为人所知的事物。
e.g. Columbus discovered America in 1492.
invent v. 发明
通过劳动运用聪明才智“发明/创造”出以前从未存在过的新事物。
e.g. Edison invented the electric light.
6.look up (词典、参考书或电脑)查阅时,其宾语可为名词(短语)或代词。当宾语为名词(短语)时,该名词(短语)可位于up之后,也可位于look和up之间;当其宾语为代词时,该代词位于look和up之间。
e.g. You can look up a new word / look a new word up in the dictionary.
If you don’t know the word, you can look it up in the dictionary.
look up (在词典、参考书中)查阅; 抬头看
look after 照顾 look like 看起来像
look out 小心 look for 寻找
look through 通过 look over 检查
look forward to 期望 look around 四处看看
have a look 看一看
