Dear Wang Mei
It isn’t snowing today, but there is still snow on the grass. In Edmonton, the weather in March can be cold and snowy or warm and sunny. It’s a little wild. The temperature can be as low as -15℃, but it can also reach 15 ℃.
Listen and read.
Still, sometimes it snows in April and May! The temperature drops below zero on those snowy days. We probably won’t see any flowers until May or June!
After school today, we played outside. We played “snow” soccer. We had to wear our jackets and boots, but it was fun. Danny fell into the snow. Maybe next month we
will play in our shorts and T-shirts!
I like the Chinese name for winter jasmine. It’s interesting. Here, we have Groundhog Day on February 2 for the coming of spring. In spring, many families drive to the countryside on weekends. A popular place to go is sugar
bush, it's so much fun to make syrup. I love spring because of all the fun activities. Also, summer follows it!
Talk to you soon!
Jenny
Have you seen a groundhog?
Culture Tip
Groundhog Day is on February 2. On that day, a small animal called a groundhog comes out of a hole in the ground. If it sees its shadow, then spring won’t come for another 6 weeks. But if the groundhog does not see its shadow, then spring is very close. How does a groundhog know? It doesn’t. It’s just a very old tradition in North America.
Language points
1. The temperature can be as low as -15℃.
as...as意为“和……一样”，表示同级的比较。使用时要注意第一个as为副词，第二个as为连词。其基本结构为：as+ adj./ adv. +as。例如：
(1) This film is as interesting as that one.
这部电影和那部电影一样有趣。
(2) Your pen writes as smoothly as mine.
你的钢笔书写起来和我的一样流畅。
其否定式为not as/so +adj./ adv. +as。例如：
This dictionary is not as/so useful as you think.
这本字典不如你想象的那样有用。
若有修饰成分，如twice, three times, half, a quarter等，则须置于第一个as之前。例如：
Your bag is twice as expensive as mine.
你的袋子比我的贵一倍。
2. We probably won’t see any flowers until May or June!
until“直到”，表示某一种行为一直持续到某一时间。用在肯定句中，句子的谓语动词必须是可延续性的。
not...until“直到……才”表示直到某一时间，某一行为才发生，之前该行为并
没有发生。用在否定句中，主句中的谓语可以是延续性的也可以是短暂性动词。?
1. I studied English until 9 o’clock last night.?
我咋晚学英语一直学到9点钟。
(表示9点前一直在学)?
2. I did not study English until 9 o’clock last night.?
我咋晚直到9点钟才学英语。
(表示9点才开始学)?
3. I waited for five hours until it was dark. I had to give it up.?
4. I didn’t go to sleep until 11 o’clock.
not until 还可以用于强调句中，也可以放在句首，句子要采用部分倒装。? 5. It was not until he came back that I went to sleep.? Not until he came back did I go to sleep.?
3. We had to wear our jackets and boots…
have to 是一个比较特殊的情态短语，虽然也具有情态动词的功能，但却与其他的情态动词不同。它有人称、数和时态的变化，其否定式和疑问式的构成方式也与情态动词不一样。同学们在使用have to 时必须弄清它的真面目，否则容易出错。?
一、have to 与其他情态动词一样也是后接动词原形，表示外界的强制作用，强调被迫性。含有不情愿的色彩，常译为“必须，不得不”。?
二、have to 可用于多种时态，而且不
同时态使用不同的形式：一般现在时中，主语为第三人称单数时用has to ; 一般过去时中，用 had to。 have to 还可以用在其他的情态动词之后。例如：
I have to do some washing.?
我必须洗洗衣服。?
?She has to look after her little sister.
她不得不照顾她的小妹妹。?
I had to do my homework last night.?
昨晚我不得不做作业。?
I think he may have to help his Dad in the garden.?
我想他可能不得不在花园里帮他爸爸。?
三、have to 的否定式和疑问式一般要借用助动词do的适当形式构成。have to 的否定式是don’t have to； has to 的否定式是doesn’t have to；had to 的否定式是didn’t have to。have to的疑问式同样也借用助动词do的相应形式构成。例如：?
He doesn’t have to do the homework now.?
他没有必要现在做作业。?
—Do I have to go there now??
我现在就得去那儿吗？?
—Yes, you do. (No, you don’t have to.)?
是的，你必须去。（不，你不必。）?
We didn’t have to answer the question yesterday.?
昨天我们没有必要回答这个问题。

1. I need neither my heavy winter coat nor my boots now!
neither...nor...表示“既不……也不……”。其含义是否定的，可连接任意两个并列的成份。例如：
She likes neither butter nor cheese.
她既不喜欢黄油也不喜欢奶酪。
此句中neither...nor...连接两个宾语。
当neither...nor...连接两个主语时，也应
遵循"就近原则"。例如：
Neither dad nor mum is at home today.
今天父母都不在家。
若将neither...nor...句型变为肯定句，只需把neither...nor...改为both...and...即可，同时谓语动词必须用复数形式。例如： Both dad and mum are at home today. 今天父母都在家。
还可以单独使用neither作主语，表示"两者中没有一个"。例如： Neither of them likes football.
他们俩都不喜欢足球。
neither或nor还有另外一种用法，就是当表达一个人没有做某事，另一个人也没做同一类事时，可用neither或nor进行简略回答，其结构为：
Neither / Nor+助动词 / 情态动词 / be动词+主语。例如： He doesn’t go to school by bike, neither / nor do I.
他不是骑自行车上学，我也不是。 They didn’t go to the park yesterday. Neither / Nor did we.
昨天他们没去公园，我们也没去。
