4.so… that…
（1）意为“如此……以至于……”引导结果状 语从句，so 后用形容词或副词原形。
（2） so that 引导目的状语从句时，意为“以便，为了”。从句中常使用 can/could/may/might/will/would/should等情态动词或助动词。
5. I discovered that listening to something interesting is the secret to language learning.
discover v. 发现; 发觉
指偶然或经过努力发现原来客观存在但不为人所知的事物。
Columbus discovered America in 1492. 哥伦布于1492年发现了美洲。
6.as well
意为“也”，通常位于肯定句末，与too 用法相似，但too前面常用逗号与前面的句子分开，而as well无需用逗号与句子分开。
例如：
I like apples as well.
=I like apples, too.
7. I also learned useful sentences like “It’s
a piece of cake.” or “It serves you right.”
a piece of cake和serves sb. right是英语中的两个习惯用语, 也可称作习语idiom(s)。同汉语中的成语类似, 习语是人们在长期的语言运用中约定俗成的一种固定表达方式, 其意思往往不是字面所表达的含义。
如:1. a piece of cake表示事情非常简单、易于解决, 相当于汉语的“小菜一碟; 小事一桩”;
2. serves sb. right则相当于汉语说某人“活该”。
