阳朔山水甲桂林
阳朔位于广西桂林市东南, 建县始于隋开皇十年（公元590年），距今已见1400余年。全县总面积1428平方公里，人口30万。县治辖6镇乡。 “桂林山水甲天下，阳朔堪称甲桂林”，高度概括了阳朔的自然风光在世界上所占有的重要位置。“山青、水秀、峰奇、洞巧”，为天下四绝。 阳朔百里山川，处处奇山秀水，自然景观与人文景观交相辉映，被誉为“中国旅游名县”。
阳朔自然资源丰富，年平均气温19.1C，气候温和宜人。阳朔特产有沙田柚、金桔、板栗、柿子。 美丽的漓江将桂林与阳朔相联，并下达至梧州、广州，常年通航。县城距桂林市区仅65公里，每天有大量的空调车穿梭于阳朔与桂林之间。阳朔依托桂林的铁路与民航与国际、国内大城市相联。 “阳朔人人学英语，阳朔人人说英语”，说英语也在为这里的一大特色。这里办了不少的外语学校。因为这里有全国独一无二的英语学习环境，很多人都到这来学习英语。

Grammar focus
want to, plan to
wish to, hope to
would like to
hope/wish
hope 和wish均可作动词和名词,意为愿望, 因此常常译为“希望”。 wish 一般侧重于表达不大可能实现或根本不考虑是否可能实现的愿望，因此常常译为“愿望”。 下面来分析一下它们的异同点。
★相同点：
1. 表示“想、希望”，均可接动词不定式作宾语。如：
I hope/ wish to come tomorrow. 我希望/但愿明天能来。
2. 均可与for 连用。如：
Let’s hope for the best. 让我们尽量往好处想。
He wishes for a dictionary. 他想得到一本词典。
★ 不同点：
hope 后面接宾语从句, 常常表示很有把握实现的愿望。wish后面接宾语从句，常常表示一种无实现的或不真实的愿望。
如: I hope she won’t come this evening. 我希望她今晚别来。
I wish I could fly to the moon. 我真想飞上月球。
2. hope 后不能跟动词不定式(短语)作宾补。wish 可以，形成了wish sb. to do sth.结构。
如: The teacher wishes his students to come here. 这位老师希望他的学生们来这里。
3. wish可以有wish sb. + adj.结构，而hope则没有此结构。如：
I wish you happy. 我祝你们幸福。
4. 作简略回答时，hope 后可以用替代词so或not，而wish则不可以。如：
—Will it be sunny tomorrow 明天会是晴天吗？
—I hope so. 我希望是。/I hope not.我希望不是。
5. 作名词时，hope多用于“希望”。wish多用于“祝愿语”，且多用复数形式。
如：He didn’t give up his hope. 他没有放弃希望。
Best wishes to you! 致以良好的祝愿!
How was your trip
It was wonderful!
How did you travel there
By train.
How long were you there

特殊疑问句形式及回答：
1. 特殊疑问句词+was/ were+ 主语+ 其他
如:
---How was your weekend, Jim
吉姆，周末过的如何？
--- It was great. 好极了。
2. 特殊疑问此+ did+ 主语+ 动词原形+ 其他？
如：
---Where did you go yesterday
昨天你们去哪儿了？
---We went to the zoo.
我们去动物园了。
注意：
如果特殊疑问句词作主语，其语序和陈述句相同。
如：
Who was at home just now
刚才谁在家？
How many children played basketball last Saturday
上周六多少个孩子打篮球？

A JOKE
Being on a holiday in England, you can go to see the Big Ben.
The Big Ben is very famous throughout the world, but nobody really knows why it is called Big Ben. There are two hearsays about this. Some people say that it was named after Benjamin Caunt, a boxer, who was called Big Ben.
More people believe it was called after Welshman, Sir Benjamin Hall. He was the commissioner of the work at the time of its installation in 1859.
A story was told that during a debate in the Commons on what to call the bell, Sir Benjamin was about to give his ideas when a MP who sat behind the front bench shouted, "Let's call it Big Ben!" Then this name came into being.

Table Manners in China
For example
Talking about eating habit, unlike the West, where everyone has their own plate of food, in China the dishes are placed on the table and everybody shares.
Chinese are very proud of their culture of cuisine and will do their best to show their hospitality.
And sometimes the host will serve some dishes with his or her own chopsticks to guests to show his or her hospitality. This is a sign of politeness. The appropriate thing to
do would be to eat the
whatever-it-is and
say how yummy it is.
If you feel uncomfortable with this, you can just say a polite "thank you" and leave the food there. There some other rules that are suggested you follow to make your stay in China happier, though you will be forgiven if you have no idea of what they are.
1. Never stick your chopsticks upright in the rice bowl, lay them on your dish instead. Otherwise, it is deemed extremely impolite to the host and seniors present. The reason for this is that when somebody
dies, the shrine to them
contains a bowl of sand
or rice with two sticks of incense stuck upright in it. So if you stick your chopsticks in the rice bowl, it looks like the shrine and is equivalent to wishing death upon a person at the table.
2. Make sure the spout of the teapot is not facing anyone. It is impolite to set the teapot down where the spout is facing towards somebody. The spout should always be directed
to where nobody is sitting,
usually just outward from
the table.
3. Don't tap on your bowl with your chopsticks, since that will be deemed insult to the host or the chef. Beggars tap on their bowls, and also, when the food is coming too slow in a restaurant, people will tap their bowls. If you are in someone's
home, it is like insulting the host or the cook.
4. Never try to turn a fish, since the separation of the fish skeleton from the lower half of the flesh will usually be performed by the host or a waiter. Superstitious people deem bad luck will ensue and a fishing boat will capsize if you do so.
This is especially true to southerners in China (to be specific, such as Guangdong, Guangxi and Fujian provinces, etc.), since, traditionally, southerners are the fishing population.(共31张PPT)
