四、学会大胆质疑，自我反思。
Further thinking: Why should we travel
【知识小贴士】：
thousands of 数以千计的，许许多多的。后接可数名词复数，用于表示不确定的数量，类似的表达还有：____________, ______________.___________
当thousand 前有具体数词修饰，表示确切的数目时，thousand 要用单数形式，并且不能与of 连用
2. …Singapore is an English-speaking country, …新加坡是一个说英语的国家。
English-speaking: “说英语的；英语为母语的；使用英语的”。由English 和speaking两个词组成，这是英语中一种常见的形容词构词形式，即：由名词和动词的-ing形式组合而成
例：grass-eating animals an apple-picking trip
3.On the one hand , more than three quarters of the population are Chinese,…一方面，这个国家超过四分之三的人口是华人.
1）on the one hand, on the other hand一方面……，另一方面……常用于列举原因、情况等，说明一个事物的两个方面。
例：One the one hand, we must study hard , on the other hand, we should keep our body strong.
2）population 人口 The population of China is over 1.4 billion, one third of the population are the old.
3）three quarters 意为“四分之三”。分数的表达法：分子用基数词，分母用序数词，当分子大于1时， 序数词后加s. 如:三分之二two thirds三分之一one third
注意：分数修饰名词在句子中作主语时，若该名词为可数名词单数或不可数名词，则谓语动词用单数形式；若该名词为可数名词复数，则谓语动词用复数形式。
例：About one fifth of the water is polluted. About two thirds of the students are going to attend the meeting.
4.Maybe you fear that you won't be able to find anything good to eat when you travel.可能你害怕当你旅游的时候你将不能找到好吃的东西。
fear 在此处作及物动词，意为“害怕；惧怕”，相当于be afraid of。常用搭配：fear to do sth， fear +that从句。
例：Children usually fear to go out alone at night. He fears that he may lose his job, so he works hard every day.
fear 还可作名词，意为“害怕；惧怕” 。be in fear of “害怕……；担心……”。 We are in fear of tigers.
5.Whether you like Indian food , Western food or Japanese food ,you’ll find it all in Singapore!
无论你喜欢印度食物，西方食物还是日本食物，你都能在新加坡找到 ！
在此处 whether 作连词，常与 or 连用，意为“不管……（还是）；或者……（或者）”，引导让步状语从句。例：Whether the news is true or not, you should be prepared.
whether 作连词，还可意为“是否”，引导宾语从句（名词从句）。例：My deskmate asked me whether I needed any help.
4.So you can choose to go whenever you like --- spring ,summer, autumn, or winter.
所以你可以选择任何你喜欢的时候– 春天，夏天，秋天或者冬天.
whenever在任何……时候；无论何时，作连词，此处引导让步状语从句, 相当于no matter when .与其用法相似的还有：
whatever = no matter what 无论什么
whichever = no matter which 无论哪一 个
wherever = no matter where 无论在哪里
whoever = no matter who 无论谁
however = no matter how 无论如何
