2. The houses of the rich are generally larger than those/the ones of the poor.
3. I lost my pen last week but I found it yesterday.(it 代my pen)
辨析:one, the ones, it
one 用来代替前面出现的单数名词,是泛指,相当于“a/an+单数名词”
the ones 代前面的特指的复数名词,有时可用those代替(尤其是在有后置定语时)
it 代替前面出现的单数可数名词,指同一物,即原物。
I can tell you that. That’s a no-brainer.

Host: Welcome to Talk Time. This is
George. Tell me your name and
problem.
Caller 1: My name is Christina and I’m
calling about my mum. She often
sighs and sometimes even cries,
and then says we don’t spend
enough time together. I love her,
but I have things I want to do in
my life. How can I still have fun
and let my mum know I love her?
Host: Invite your mum to join you
doing the things you like. That
way you can have fun and see
your mum at the same time!
Good luck, Christina! Hello,
next caller, how can I help you?
Caller 2: Hi, my name is Richard. My
mum bought me some new
clothes, but I don’t like what
she got me. Should I tell her?
Host: Richard, you should be honest,
but let her know you are happy
that she thought of you. I’m sure
she won’t mind if you change
them for something different.
Good luck. Who is my next caller?
Caller 3: Hello, Talk time? This is Jane. I
called last week about my
grandma.
Host: Yes, Jane, you wanted to tell her
that you want to live with your
other grandparents, right?
Caller 3: Yes, I took your advice and told
her how I feel. You were right.
She understood! Thanks so much.
Host: Glad to help! We’ve got time for
one more call.
Caller 4: My father always shouts angrily
at me. He says, ‘William, turn
off that TV and go outside! But I
don’t want to go outside! How
can I make him stop shouting?
Host: Well, you shouldn’t spend so much
time watching TV. It isn’t good for
your eyes. Join a sports team. You
will feel better and your father will
stop shouting at you. Thanks for
calling in! Listen to Talk Time
again next week at this time.
