Step3 Complete this passage with the words and phrases below in their proper forms
Cafeteria; motherland; adjust to; idiom; tutor; requirement; draft; substitute; routine; academic; lecture; recommend; queue; occupy; fit in; autonomous
I have studied for six months at a British university, and feel that I have adjusted well _to_ the life away from my motherland. I live in student accommondation. After eating breakfast at the cafeteria I go by minibus to the university lecture halls or the library. My tutor recommonded that I only work for six months each day and behave as a/ an academic learner. He thinks I should fit in some opotional activities such as clubs for extra autonomous work on my essays. I am not sure whether I will be able to meet the requirement of my courseor not, as it takes for me to do my work. Take revising draft of my essays as an example, it occupied too much of my time. However, my tutor tells me that if I join in more social activities I will improve my understanding of English idioms. So I spend some time in a club in the afternoon. In the evening, I usually queue for my meal at the cafeteria and then go home. Day in and day out I follow almost the same routine. I substitute quite well.
Step4. Learn important words , phrases and some important sentence stuctures.
1. It was the first time she had ever left her motherland.这是她第一次离开她的祖国。
在“It was the first time (that) + clause”结构中,我们通常用过去完成时;the first time 的用法:该句使用了句型"It is+ the+序数词+time+ that从句", that从句中的谓语常用现在完成时。It is the first time ( that ) I ________ such a beautiful place.
Had visited B. have visited C. visited D. visit
It’s time for sth. 该做某事了。
It's time that...中, that从句中的谓语动词用过去时或用"should+动词原形"(should不能省略)。e.g. It's time we started.=It's time we should start.

The doctor recommended his patient to go out for a walk.
3) recommend 表示主观判断,推测,建议,命令,要求的动词,通常引起虚拟语气的宾语从句,从句谓语动词常用should+ v.原形,且should可以省略,如:suggest/insist/recommend/propose/ require/request/demand etc.
e.g. They demanded that the right to vote be given to every adult.
We insisted that Mr. Brown chair the meeting.
3. It’s not just study that is difficult. 困难不仅仅在学习方面。

4. When I got lost and had to ask a passer-by directions, I didn’t always understand.当我迷路,不得不向过路人问路时,我并不是总能明白.
