be born意为“出生”，并且动词be常常 用过去式was或were。be born后面可跟不同的介词，表示“出生的时间、地点”。如：

Ann ___________ 4:30 in the afternoon.

翻译：___________________________
strict用作形容词，意为“严格的; 严厉的”，在句中既可以作表语，也可以作定语。如:

strict还常用于以下短语：
be strict with sb.表示“对某人要求严格”。如：
The teacher ______________________.
老师总是对我们严格要求。
be strict in sth. 表示“______________”。如：
Linda is always strict in her work.
琳达总是对她的工作要求严格。
3. Becky was very good in class but Adam wasn't.

含good的短语：
be good at ... 擅长……
be good for ... 对……有帮助的
4. He has quite difficult.
他很难管。
difficult adj. 难对付的
以前学过的difficult意为“困难的，难懂的”
e.g. Maths is difficult for Betty.
5. What were they like？
“What+be+sb.+like?”意为“某人怎么
样？” 用来询问某人的性格特点，常
nice, friendly, kind等表示性格特点
