2 Read Li Ming’s diary and write true (T) or false (F).
Date: September 12
Weather: cloudy, windy, and cool
Dear Diary,
I’m back at school. After a long summer break, it was so nice to see my classmates again!
On Monday, I got up early. I met all my classmates at school. We talked, laughed, and shared stories about the fun things we did over the summer.
长难句分析:主语为We, 谓语部分是由and 连接的三个
并列的动作talked, laughed, shared stories;we did over the summer 为定语从句,修饰things。
Li Lin told us about her trip to Hainan. She bought many postcards for us. Wang Mei went to volunteer in a mountain village. Song Hua learned to play the guitar and went to a concert. It was amazing to hear all about their summer vacations.
During the gym class on Wednesday, we played football.
My friend Jack and l were on the same team, and it felt great working together again. The game was super exciting. It was a tie game until the other team scored in the last minute. I felt a little sad about losing, but playing our best was still lots of fun!
长难句分析:it 作形式主语,真正的主语是working together again。
长难句分析:这是一个主从复合句。主句为It was a tie game, until 作连词,引导时间状语从句the other team scored in the last minute。从句中主语为the other team, 谓语为scored, in the last minute 为时间状语。
Friday was special because we had our first physics class. Physics is a new subject for us, and our teacher showed us some cool experiments. I felt excited to learn more about the wonders of science.
Well, it’s time for bed now. I’m looking forward to another fantastic week!
