Review：word formation
1 Look at the sentences and expressions from the reading passage.
Match the words in bold to the types of word formation .
a Neither is there pine nor apple in pineapple.
b … sculpt a sculpture…
c When we…see rain…,we can say "it's raining"…
d WHO
1.abbreviating
2.changing the part of speech
3.adding a prefix or suffix
4.combining two or more words
Now look for more examples of each type in the reading passage.
2 Complete the passage with the help of word formation.
When you open a dictionary, you often come across a lot of unfamiliar
words. You might think this is a bit scary .But many of them are formed using
other simpler words.（动词-ing短语作方式状语）This is called word formation.
Words formed by combining other words（动词-ed短语作后置定语，修饰
Words）。 are called compounds, for example, __________（a friend that you
contact by writing,traditionally using a pen） and ____________（known by
many people）.
penfriend
well-known
Prefixes and suffixes often have fixed meanings. If you add un- or in- to a
word, the new word usually means the opposite. For example,if something isn't
correct it's _________, and if someone isn't happy they're _________.Words with
the suffixes -ment and -ness are often nouns. For example,if somebody has
improved a lot,they have made great _____________.
Some nouns and adjectives can be used as verbs, or the other way round .
When we calm somebody down,they become ______.And we can give someone
a present by ___________ it.
And sometimes a word is made up of the first letters of several words:"World
Trade Organization" can be referred to as_______,and _______ is short
for " as soon as possible".
incorrect
unhappy
improvement
calm
presenting
WTO
ASAP
It is impossible to know the meaning of every word（"It is+adj.（+for sb.）
+to do sth."句式，其中It是形式主语，动词不定式短语"to know...word"是真正的主
语。）, but knowing about word formation（动词-ing短语作主语） can help us
guess their meanings.
当你打开词典时，你经常会遇到许多不熟悉的单词。你或许会觉得这有点儿可
怕。但其中许多都是用其他较简单的词构成的。这叫作构词法。
由其他单词组合而成的单词称为复合词。例如，笔友（你通过写信联系的朋友,
传统上使用钢笔）和著名的（被许多人所知的）。
前缀和后缀常常有固定的含义。如果你给一个单词加上un- 或in-，这个新单词
通常表示相反的意思。例如,如果某件事不正确，那它就是incorrect（不正确的），
如果某人不高兴，那他们就是unhappy（不高兴的）。带有后缀 -ment 和 -ness的单
词通常是名词。例如，如果某人进步了很多，那他们已经取得了很大的improvement
（进步）。
有些名词和形容词可以用作动词，反之亦然。当我们让某人平静下来，他们就
会变得平静。我们可以通过赠送礼物来给某人一件礼物。
有时一个单词由几个单词的首字母组成:"World Trade Organization（世界贸易组
织）"可以被称为WTO，ASAP是"as soon as possible（尽快）"的缩写。
要知道每个单词的意思是不可能的，但是了解构词法可以帮助我们猜出它们的意思。
3 Work in groups. Choose one type and come up with as many
words as possible.
abbreviating
changing the part of speech
adding a prefix or suffix
combining two or more words
like
Group A
unlike, dislike, likely, likelihood
Group B
unlike, dislike, likeness, likely, liking , unlikely
Group B is the winner.
American and British English
4 Look at the pictures and get to know the American English words
and their British equivalents .
a subway/underground b highway/motorway c theater/theatre
d gas/petrol e apartment/flat f elevator /lift
Now complete the passage with the words above.
Today, American English is in common international use . It is different
from British English in several ways, mostly in spelling and
vocabulary. Some American spellings were created by Noah Webster, who made one
of America's first dictionaries. He changed "-re" spellings to "-er", which is
why. .________. .is spelt. . ________. .in American English. （which引导的非限制性
定语从句，which指代前面整个主句的内容；其中"why...English"为why引导的表语从
句。）
theatre
theater
The Americans and the British also use different words for everyday things.
For example,Americans talk about putting _____ in their cars and driving along
the _________, whereas in the UK, people put _______ in their cars and drive
along the __________. Americans take the _________ to the top floor of a
building, but the British use the ____.In the US, they take the ________, but in
the UK, people travel on the _____________.Americans live in a
（n） ___________, while the British live in a（n） _____.
It's not as confusing as it seems（"as...as..."结构，意为"像/和……一样……"，
表示同级比较，两个as之间通常用形容词或副词的原级。第一个as作副词，修饰
confusing，第二个as作连词，引导比较状语从句。） : usually people from the two
countries can understand each other from the context . But that doesn't stop them
having a friendly argument about which word is the "right" one!
gas
highway
petrol
motorway
elevator
lift
subway
underground
apartment
flat
如今，美式英语在国际上通用。它在好几个方面与英式英语不同，主要是在拼
写和词汇方面。有些美式拼写是由诺亚·韦伯斯特创造的，他编写了美国第一批词典
中的一部。他把"-re"的拼写改为了"-er"，这就是在美式英语中theatre被拼写为theater
的原因。
美国人和英国人还用不同的词汇来表示日常事物。例如，美国人谈论给汽车加
"gas"，沿着"highway"行驶，而在英国，人们给汽车加"petrol",沿着"motorway"行驶。
美国人乘"elevator"到大楼的最高层，但英国人用"lift"。在美国，人们乘"subway"，
但在英国，人们乘"underground"出行。美国人住在"apartment"中，而英国人住在
"flat"中。
其实并没有看上去那么令人困惑：通常，来自这两个国家的人都能通过语境懂
得彼此所说的话。但那并不能阻止他们对哪个单词是"正确的"进行友好的争论！

Unfamiliar English expressions
·Each year, many additions are made to English dictionaries. Recent additions
include "selfie "（a photograph that you take of yourself, usually with a mobile
phone） and "netizen "（a citizen who uses the Internet）.
·Some messaging abbreviations have also been added, for example, BRB
（be right back）, COZ（because） and G2G（got to go）.

Learning to learn
Some of the language used on the Internet is different to the language used in
other forms of communication. It may be a quick and, to you, clear way to
communicate,but before you use it,stop and think:who do you want to
communicate with and why Make sure that any abbreviations and emojis . .you
use are appropriate . .for the situation, and consider whether your readers will
even know what you mean by BRB or COZ.
（本句为and连接的并列祈使句。前一分句中，"Make sure that…"意为"确
保……"， that引导宾语从句，省略关系代词的定语从句you use修饰先行词any
abbreviations and emojis；后一分句中，whether意为"是否"，其引导的宾语从句作
consider的宾语，该宾语从句中又含有一个what引导的宾语从句。）
