(2) start意为“开始”,同义词为begin。start与begin均可接to do sth.或doing sth.,表示“开始做某事”,一般可互换。但下列情形中,要注意其区别:
①当谈论一项长期的习惯性的活动时,用动名词。如:

(2) 对比:The wind is gentle. 风很轻柔。
The Sun is bright. 阳光明媚。
gentle adj. 温柔的 gently adv. 温柔地 bright adj. 明亮的 brightly adv. 明亮地
总结:
①一般直接在形容词词尾加-ly, 就变成相应的副词 (若形容词以le结尾,则去le, 再加-ly; 若以y结尾的形容词,则改y为i再加-ly)

heavy rain 大雨; It rains heavily. 下大雨。

阅读理解。
There are four seasons in a year: spring, summer, autumn and winter.
In spring, it often rains. Everything begins to grow. Trees are green and flowers come out. The field and hills are beautiful. It is a good time for people to take a trip and see all kinds of beautiful flowers. People like to go hiking in spring. In summer, it is hot but it's the best time to go swimming. Children like summer because Children's Day and the summer holidays are in summer. Autumn is a harvest (收获) season. It is cool and leaves on trees turn yellow and begin to fall. People love to see beautiful maple leaves(枫叶) in this season. The weather in winter is too cold. Some people don't like it and they don't want to go out in winter.
