单元总结提升
American and British people both speak English of course. But sometimes it does not seem like the same language. In fact, there are some important differences between British English and American English.
单元话题导入
First of all, they sound very different. Often, Americans don't say each word separately. They say several words together. Americans may say “I dunno” instead of “I don't know”. However, the British are more careful on their speech. They usually say all the words and keep them separate.
Also, some letters have different sounds. For example, the Americans say the “a” in half like the “a” in cat. But the British say the “a” in half like the “o” in soft.
单元话题导入
Sound is not the only difference between British English and American English. Words sometimes have different meanings too. Some American words are never used in England. The same thing is true of some British words in America. For example, the vocabulary for cars and driving is very different. Americans drive trucks, but in England they drive lorries.
Many expressions are also different in the two countries. In England, if you are going to telephone friends, you “ring them up”. In America you “give them a call”.
单元话题导入
There are also sometimes differences in grammar. For example, Americans usually use the helping verb “do” when they ask a question. They say “Do you have class today?” But the British often leave out the helping verb. They say “Have you class today?”
All these differences can be confusing if you are learning English. But most languages are like this. Languages change over time. When people live in separate places, the languages change in different ways. This is what happened to English. It can also happen to other languages, such as French. Many people in Canada speak French but their French is very different from the French of France.

语法归纳
直接引语和间接引语(Ⅱ)
一、祈使句的直接引语变间接引语
1.引述表示命令的祈使句,常用tell,order转述。如:
“Take down these paintings,”the teacher said to the student. (直接引语,主句谓语为“said to”)
→The teacher told the student to take down those paintings. (间接引语,tell sb to do sth)
[注意] 直接引语中的称呼语一般当作宾语用。
语法归纳
2.引述表示建议、劝告的祈使句,可以用advise,suggest等词转述。如:
The owner said to the workers,“Please take a rest.” (直接引语,主句谓语为“said to”)
→The owner advised the workers to take a rest. (间接引语,advise sb to do sth)
语法归纳
3.引述表示请求的祈使句,常用ask,beg等词转述。如:
“Don’t let your dog bark during the night,please,”the neighbour said to him. (直接引语,主句谓语为“said to”)
→The neighbour asked him not to let his dog bark during the night. (间接引语,ask sb to do)
“Please forgive me,” she said to her father. (直接引语,主句谓语为“said to”)
→She begged her father to forgive her. (间接引语,beg sb to do)
语法归纳
4.引述表示警告或提醒的祈使句用remind,warn等词转述。如:
“Don’t forget to mail the letter,”the wife said to her husband.(直接引语,主句谓语为“said to”)
→The wife reminded her husband not to forget to mail the letter.(间接引语,remind sb to do sth)
[归纳] 祈使句的间接引语形式多采用“动词+宾语+动词不定式”结构;常见的引述动词有ask,tell,beg,warn,remind,advise,order等。
语法归纳
二、直接引语是一般疑问句时的转换规则
若直接引语中的一般疑问句是由表示委婉语气的would,could等构成的疑问句,转换为间接引语时句子的谓语动词常用asked。如:
“Would you please carry the box for me?” she said to the young man.(直接引语为一般疑问句,主句谓语为“said to”)
→She asked the young man to carry the box for her. (间接引语,ask sb to do sth)
语法归纳
[注意] (1)直接引语如果是否定祈使句或否定疑问句,变为间接引语时,要用不定式的否定形式,即not to do…结构。如:
The policeman shouted at the thief, “Don't run away.”
→The policeman ordered the thief not to run away.
(2)祈使句变间接引语时,人称、指示代词、时间、地点状语及直接引语中的时态应根据陈述句的直接引语变间接引语的方法进行相应的改变。如:
“Could you please show me how to send an e?mail?” he asked.
→He asked me to show him how to send an e?mail.
语法归纳
三、直接引语是感叹句时,间接引语可以用what/how/that引导 如: They said, “How lovely the day is!”(直接引语为how引导的感叹句)
→They said how lovely the day was.(间接引语变为how引导的宾语从句)
→They said that it was a lovely day.(间接引语变为that引导的宾语从句)
[注意] 有些感叹句的转述要根据原句的意思采用适当的动词。如:
“ Happy New Year!” he said to me.
→He wished me a happy New Year.

如何写海报
【写作点拨】
海报是用来告知广大群众有关戏剧、电影以及球赛等活动的一种带有宣传广告性质的招贴,有的还配以绘画以增加吸引力。海报正中往往把有关内容作为大字标题,如Football Match, Film News等字样,以提示海报的内容。海报无须称呼或注明Poster(海报)等字样。正文部分要写清具体内容、活动时间、地点,以及参加规定、主持或举办单位等。制作海报的单位署名通常放在右下角,日期位于署名的下一行,靠右下角。
单元话题写作
1.明确海报的类型
明确你要写的海报是招聘广告、活动宣传还是人物介绍,准确表达其应有的内容和特点。
2.明确海报语言特点
海报不同于其他类型的书面表达,它属于广告,要求用最短的文字包含最多的信息,以起到醒目的效果。因此海报多用省略句、缩略语及类似的语言,应注意这些语言的特点。
3.突出重要信息
为进一步增强海报的醒目性,一些重要信息还常常被分行突出,并且在其前面用粗点、星号等特殊符号表示强调。

About William Shakespeare
[导读]威廉·莎士比亚(William Shakespeare,1564—1616年),欧洲文艺复兴时期英国最重要的作家、杰出的戏剧家和诗人。他创作了大量脍炙人口的文学作品,在欧洲文学史上占有特殊的地位,被喻为“人类文学奥林匹斯山上的宙斯”。 他亦跟古希腊三大悲剧家埃斯库罗斯(Aeschylus)、索福克勒斯(Sophocles)及欧里庇得斯(Euripides)合称戏剧史上四大悲剧家。
延伸拓展阅读
William Shakespeare is the grand literary figure of the Western world. During England's Elizabethan period he wrote dozens of plays which continue to dominate(主宰)world theatre 400 years later. Shakespeare handled high drama, romance and slapstick comedy with equal ease, and so famous are his words that his quotes (箴言), from “To be, or not to be” to “Parting is such sweet sorrow”, take up more than 70 pages in the latest edition of Bartlett's Familiar Quotations. His works rival the King James Bible (also produced in the 1600s) as a source of oft?quoted (经常被引用的) English phrases. Shakespeare is known as the “Bard of Avon”, a nod to his birthplace, and many of his plays were originally performed in the famous
延伸拓展阅读
Globe Theatre in London. Among his best?known plays are Romeo and Juliet, Hamlet, and Macbeth.
He is also known for his poetry, especially his sonnets. So mighty was Shakespeare's output that some scholars insist another, greater mind must have written some or all of his plays. (Sir Francis Bacon, Christopher Marlowe and Edward de Vere have all been candidates.) But this theory has never been proved…Shakespeare's precise birth date is not known; he was baptized (施洗礼) on 26 April 1564, and over time 23 April has become the accepted date of his birth, in part because he also died on 23 April in 1616.
