Mary: I have got three tickets for Harry
Potter. Here are two tickets for you,
John and Rose.
John: Thank you. I am glad to have got a
ticket for it. It is an interesting film.
I want to see it again.
Look at the following dialogue:
Rose: It is such an interesting film. I
really want to see it again. I
am so glad to have got a ticket
for it. Thank you, Mary.
Compare what John said with what Rose said, and tell why Rose use such, really, so.
The adjective such is used to emphasize an interesting film, While the adverbs really and so are respectively used to emphasize the verb want and the adjective glad.
Rose used them to express her strong feeling about the film — how anxious she wanted to see Harry Potter again.
These sentence structure are called
emphasis.
Look at the following sentences and see how they are emphasized.
Everyone was so excited about her speech.
It was such an interesting television show.
I really want to see it again.
Actually, the festival in Venice doesn’t just feature Hollywood films.
Notes:
We can use certain words such as so, such, really and just to show emphasis.
Many of the films are from the USA,
but we do give awards to films from
other countries.
We did want to have a festival that was
fair.
Do tell us a little about the festival you
represent.
I do hope you have a merry Christmas.
He does know the place well.
Notes:
If we want to emphasize the affirmative verb of a sentence with a simple present or simple past tense, we add the auxiliary do, does or did before the verb.
1. 我的确相信他是老实人。
I do believe that he is an honest man.
2. 她确实喜欢文学。
She does like literature.
3. 他们昨天的确去看过你,但没见到你。
They did go to see you yesterday, but
failed to meet you.
Translate the following with emphasis.
4. 你到那儿后务必给我来信。
Do write to me when you get there.
5. 这个新来的交流生非常希望和我们一
起参加今晚的晚会。
The new exchange student does hope
to go to the evening party with us.
Look at the following sentences from the text and pay attention to how it is emphasized.
It was then that Robert Redford took over and changed the focus to saluting independent films.
Notes:
If we want to emphasize a part of a sentence other than the verb, we can use the pattern ‘It + be + the part to be emphasized + that clause’.
We can use this pattern to emphasize the subject, object or adverbial. Look at the example below and see how each part is emphasized:
Robert Redford took over the festival in 1981.
Subject: It was Robert Redford that / who
took over the festival in 1981.
Object: It was the festival that Robert
Redford took over in 1981.
Adverbial: It was in 1981 that Robert
Redford took over the festival.
When the subject we emphasize is a pronoun, we usually use its object form.
e.g. It was me who represented the
Toronto International Film Festival
last year.
It was she (her) who told the police.
It was you who we were talking about.
Is it the Cannes Film Festival that gives awards mostly to American films?
How often is it that famous actors and
directors come to Toronto?
Who was it that told him what had
happened?
This emphatic structure can also be used in questions.
e.g. What are you doing in the room?
What on earth are you doing in the
room?
When will the train leave?
When exactly will the train leave?
We can also use ever, exactly, on earth and in the world in questions.
How did you go there?
How exactly did you go there?
Who will go there with us?
Who on earth will go there with us?
Where have they stayed for the
whole afternoon?
Where ever have they stayed for the
whole afternoon?
Pay attention to the difference between attributive clause and emphasis.
It was midnight _____ he came back. It was at midnight ____ he came back.
It was on October 1st, 1949 ____ he joined the Party that he was killed.
It was October 1st, 1949 _____ he joined the Party that he was killed.

1. 强调句型与定语从句合用:
考试试题中常将定语从句的考点与强
调句型合考,从而增加试题的迷惑性。
Pay attention to the situation where the attributive clause and emphasis are used together.
例如:
It was in Beihai Park _______ they made a date for the first time ______ the old couple told us their love story.
A. where; that B. that; that
C. where; when D. that; when
题中“they made a date for the first time”为被强调部分“Beihai Park”的_______。

2. 强调句型与宾语从句合用,强调句型用于宾语从句,为一大热门考点。例如:

C. how it is D. it is how
该题中tell后面的宾语从句为强调句型,若将“it is...that...”去掉,宾语从句中剩下的部分为 ________ prevents her from being as happy as before,该结构中缺少主语,应用“what”。
It was not until I spoke to Kathy that I knew how special the Sundance Film Festival was.
Notes:
We can use the pattern ‘it was not until… that…’ to emphasize time expressions.
