A red red roseAuld lang syneShould auld acquaintance be forgot

Should auld acquaintance be forgot
and days of auld lang syne?
For auld lang syne, my friends,
for auld lang syne,
We'll take a cup of kindness yet
For auld lang syne. A red red rose Robert Burns O, my Luve's like a red, red rose That's newly sprung in June: O, my Luve's like a melodie That's sweetly play'd in tune!
As fair as thou, my bonnie lass, So deep in luve am I: And I will luve thee still, my dear, Till a' the seas gang dry: Till a' the seas gang dry, my dear,
And the rocks melt wi' the sun;
I will luve thee till, my dear,
While the sands o' life shall run.
And fare thee weel, my only luve,
And fare thee weel a while!
And I will come again, my luve,
Tho' it ware ten thousand mile. Why can’t we understand them?English is changing
all the time…Unit2 Reading

in the English language?
3. When did Modern English appear?

vocabulary each group of people brought to Britain
with them. (p22 line3)

with them. 定语从句这里each group of people brought to Britain with them
引导定语从句，省略了关系代词that/which，因为定语从句
中的谓语动词bring缺了宾语（宾语就是先行词的rules and
vocabulary）。英语是由每个进入不列颠的人群所说语言中的规则和词汇构成的。2. Middle English is the name given to the English
used from around the 12th to the 16th century.动词的过去分词作定语，the name ( which/that was ) given
to the English ( which/that was ) used from around the 12th
to the 16th century.中古英语这个名词是指大约12世纪至16世纪期间所使用的英语。3. So, the words we use for most animals raised for
food, such as ox, cow, sheep and pig, come from
Old English, while the words for the meat people eat

供人们食用的肉类的词汇则源自法语，如牛肉，羊肉，猪肉
以及熏猪肉（咸猪肉）。4. The question of whether English will continue
changing in the future is easy to answer. 宾语从句英语在未来是不是还要继续变化这个问题其实很容易回答。be + adj. + to do动词不定式主动表示被动，如：
The book is interesting to read.5. If a person from the south of England goes to the
north, he or she may find it difficult to understand
what people there are saying. 宾语从句来自英国南部的人，如果他或她去英国北部，就有可能发现
