這一章說的是比較級,最高級。用來表較兩樣多樣事情的不同時的用法。還挺實用的,而且不難。口頭禪差點要說簡單,恩,比較時態來說潔西覺得算簡單,但是還是有它複雜的地方。多看例句,多做練習會比較有概念。所以上星期上課因為來不及,所以沒有給很多的練習題。這幾天把練習題都補齊了,所以沒有買課本的人可以做做練習,比較有概念。有課本的人做完練習可以再來做這兒的練習。
Why study? 為什麼要唸書?
The more I study, the more I know. 我唸的越多,我懂得越多。
The more I know, the more I forget. 我懂得越多,我忘得越多。
The more I forget, the less I know. 我忘得越多,我知道的越少。
So why study? 那麼,為什麼要唸書?
這超好用又超好笑,潔西昨天睡不著的時候寫了一堆,
為什麼要吃飯?
我吃得越多,我拉得越多。
我拉得越多,我肚子越餓。
所以為什麼要吃飯?
為什麼要睡覺?
我睡得越多,我越感到累。
我越感到累,我睡得越多。
所以為什麼要睡覺?
為什麼要賺錢?
我賺得越多,我花得越多。
我花得越多,我越沒有錢。
所以為什麼要賺錢?
有夠白癡吧,哇哈哈。
打講義真的要花很多時間,潔西綜合了好幾本書,找出自己覺得比較常用,然後還要好好的想想整理一下,覺得怎麼樣同學比較容易理解,所以,真的需要很多時間,所以可能會有些錯誤,因為用腦過度,呵呵,請大家見諒跟幫忙校對。感激不盡:)
歡迎同學自行私下下載練習使用,但請勿任意轉載或公開使用, 潔西寫講義花了很多時間精力跟心血, 並且標明出處。雖然校對技巧很差,雖然裡面也可能有錯誤,呵呵,還是要尊重一下原作者喔,謝謝:) 又摘要使用的書或版權屬原公司所有。摘自Azar的Fundamentals of English Grammar,Longman的Grammar Express,Oxford的Oxford Practice Grammar,另外還有Cambridge的English Grammar in Use等書。
