Lesson21 Mad or not
Aeroplanes are slowly driving me mad. I live near an airport and passing planes can be heard night and day. The airport was built years ago, but for some reason it could not be used then. Last year, however, it came into use. Over a hundred people must have been driven away from their homes by noise. I am one of the few people left. Sometimes I think this house will be knocked down by a passing plane. I have been offered a large sum of money to go away, but I am determined to stay here. Everybody says I must be mad and they are probably right.

Structure--Passive Voice 被动语态
<1>基本概念:动语态表示主语是动作的执行者,被动语态表示主语是动作的承受者。
<2> 被动语态的基本构成:主语+ be+动词的过去分词
<3> 被动语态的时态变化
一般现在时:主语+is/am/are+动词的过去分词 The door is locked.
现在进行时:主语+is/am/are+being+动词的过去分词 The house is being painted by them.
一般过去时:主语+was/were+动词的过去分词 The key was left at home.
一般将来时:主语+will+be+动词的过去分词 The letter will be sent by the postman soon.
现在完成时:主语+have/has+been+动词的过去分词 The bridge has been built by them.
<4>被动语态的特殊情况
不及物动词带介词和介词宾语时,在变为被动语态时,仍然要带上介词。
Mike looks after the girl.↓ The girl is looked after by Mike.
句子谓语是双宾语及物动词,将间接宾语或将直接宾语转化为句子主语均可。
They gave the children many good books.↓
The children were given many good books by them.
Many good books were given to the children by them.
当动词带有复合宾语(有宾补), 并且宾补是省去to的动词不定式时,在被动语态中应加上to。
Mike makes us cook the food every day.↓ We are made to cook the food every day.
主动语态的宾语是句子(宾语从句),变被动语态时通常用it作形式主语,真正主语放在后面。
I know that the earth is round.↓ It is known that the earth is round.
小试牛刀1:改写成被动语态,完成练习后再对照课文核对你的答案。
I can hear passing planes night and day.
They built the airport years ago
They could not use it then.
The noise must have driven over a hundred people away.

叙事类记叙文
"六大要素":时间、地点、人物、事件的起因、经过和结果(即when, where, who, why, how, what)。
写记叙类文章时应该把这六大要素交代明白,同时还应注意以下三点。
(1)叙述方式:主要有顺叙、倒叙和插叙三种,英语记叙文主要以顺叙为主。
(2)时态上:记叙文主要记述过去发生的事情,常用一般过去时、过去进行时、过去将来时等时态。
(3)人称上:常用第一人称和第三人称。用第一人称表示的是由叙述者亲身经历的事情。用第三人称是通过作者和读者之外的第三者把故事的具体情节呈现在读者面前。
写作方法
第一段:开门见山,交代事件的大体情况,如时间、地点、人物、事件等;
第二段:详细叙述事件发展的过程、原因或结果等;
第三段:评价该事件:表明自己的看法、感受等。
回忆性开头
在描述事件或游记类的文章中,采用回忆性的开头往往更能吸引人的眼球。这种类型的开头中通常含有描述自己心情或情绪的词汇,如never forget(永远无法忘记)、 remember (记得)、unforgettable(难以忘怀的)、 exciting(令人激动的)、surprising(令人惊讶的)、sad (难过的)... 如"A Trip to Huangshan(黄山之旅)"的开头还以这样写:I will never forget my first trip to Huangshan. 或It was really an unforgettable experience I had.

开头引 出话题 综述事情 My classmate Wang Hong did a good thing.
主体详 述经过 起因 On her way home, she saw a tree blocking the road.

第三步 润色成篇
Dear David, How are you I’d like to share a story with you. Last Friday, my classmate Wang Hong did a good thing and I still remembered it clearly. On her way home, a tree was blown down by a strong wind, blocking the road. When my classmate Wang Hong saw it, she picked up the branches on the ground and moved the trunk. But the trunk was too heavy for her to move. She then asked people who passed by for help. They worked together to move it to the side of the road. Finally, the road was cleared and the road returned to normal. People all spoke highly of Wang Hong, saying that she was a good student. From the thing, we should learn from Wang Hong. As middle school students, we should try our best to do some meaningful things. If everyone cares more about others, the world will be a better place. Do you have a story to tell Hope to hear from you. Yours, Li Hua ①“my classmate Wang Hong did a good thing”起到总领全文的作用。 ②使用被动语态和分词短语作状语,为高级句型。 ③too...to结构运用正确,使句型简单,表达清晰。 ④speak highly of意为“高度赞扬”,为高级词汇。 ⑤使用if引导条件状语从句提出自己的想法和推断,进一步深化了主题
