【潔西家】劍橋活用英語文法 中級 Unit 3 現在簡單式與現在進行式 1

抗議虐待老師啦!

昨天早上十一點的課是後來排的,但是跟醫生約是很早就約了,改時間很麻煩,所以一早八點多就出門先去雙和醫院九點半看完醫生十點離開醫院剛好趕上時十一點的課。

上完兩個小時的課是一點,接下來是兩點到四點的課,中間有留一個小時的吃飯時間。但是上完課後不小心跟學生聊天聊了起來,下課後聊一下也沒什麼嗎,但是呢兩個人聊得很起勁就一直聊下去,聊到後來潔西有在暗示了要結束了,但是同學還是很開心的一直說,最後潔西還不小心問了問題,兩個人都站起來,學生東西都收好了還在聊,所以就一直聊到一點五十七分,下一堂課的學生走進教室時,才結束。然後潔西在學生離開之前不得不嗆這個學生,是誰說自己不喜歡說話的啊,說起話來根本停不下來。他先前有說過他不喜歡說話,潔西通常記性很差,但有時候記性又很好。

可惡的學生,害潔西沒吃午餐,早上看醫生前不餓,七點多只吃了一包餅乾,下午餓著肚子上課一直到五點多才吃,心裡偷偷罵學生,知道他不會看,所以潔西很敢寫,哈哈哈。恩,該不會是學生覺得潔西需要繼續再減肥呢?絕對不是,學生是男生,潔西胖十公斤他應該也不會發現,一定沒注意到或根本不在意潔西沒時間吃午餐,虐待老師啦!

好啦,其實是潔西自己的錯啦,不能怪別人,跟學生說我等一下有課不就得了。是潔西自己也愛說話啦,但是呢潔西很不會打斷人家,尤其是覺得人家有話想說時。上次那個高中生在感嘆媽媽不愛他時潔西真的不知道該如何打斷,所以後來還幫他多上了半個小時,因為課上不完。

所以潔西上課時間不小心開聊起來都要趕快拉回來,聊太多就會擠壓到課程的時間,但是也不知道為什麼就很容易聊起來,可能是因為潔西是好奇寶寶吧?對什麼事情都很有興趣。當老師很不錯的一點就是可以學生可能是各行各業。

先前星期天早上十點半的課,來了一個住院醫生跟一個護士分別在亞東醫院跟雙和醫院工作,兩個人都是輪夜班到早上八點,然後來上十點半的會話課,也太上進了吧?

護士是在開刀房,醫生是婦產科,潔西不知道當時自己為什麼問了超敏感的問題,因為開刀房一定會看到有人走掉,婦產科也一定會有嬰兒沒辦法活下來,萬一遇到這樣的狀況時,學生要怎麼樣面對調適自己?

護士學生說跟同事朋友聊天,抒發心情,然後隔天又沒事繼續上班,學生說她每天上班都很興奮,非常有熱情的護士,一點都不怕血,非常需要這樣的護士。醫生說會跟同事一起反省檢討還有什麼可以做得更好的地方,他說那是他這一輩子在這個職業中都必須要面對好好處理的,讓潔西當場超感動的。

虧學生還能用英文回答得出來,真的很厲害。潔西就是會問人家很多各式各樣問題的人,假如學生不介意回答的話。有時候學生打開話夾子就會停不了,尤其說到自己喜歡或有興趣的東西時,比方說股票,潔西大概僅有的一點點股票知識都是從學生那學來的。

上班族也很好玩啊,每家公司有每家公司不同的企業文化,當英文老師後才知道原來工程師也有各式各樣的工程師,從前不知道居然有安全工程師,沒聽過吧?教過空服員,想說好像沒教過機師,才想到,啊,先前一個學生才跟潔西說他在台東?教開飛機,好幸福的工作喔。三不五時傳一些美麗的天空的照片,超羨慕。

教過師父,出家的師父,師父也需要國際化。現在教的學生有出家過,真是好玩,跟潔西說他在緬甸出家時是要每天出去化緣,給的食物通通放在一起再分來吃,真是不可思議特別的體驗。

剛剛做文法影片有點激動,躁期的上課方式用來做影片了,廢話超多,不小心就變成很長的影片了,又懶的重錄,大家見諒吧。明天要上課的東西還沒準備完,今天一天就要過去了,啊!想睡了,但是要繼續準備上課東西去了。天啊,突然發現,明天週末了,時間也過太快,這星期忙完下星期就好多,十一月應該就清閒了,然後,不得了,就快過年又要很閒了,日子怎麼這麼過 Time flies when you are busy. 忙碌的時間過得超快。

啊,對了,今天晚上吃飯的時間想到「當你覺得沒有選擇的時候,任何東西都是你的選擇。」晚上吃親子丼,好吃,但是有點單調,打開冰箱又沒有其他東西可以配,又懶得煮其他東西,最後看了很久,把辣油拿出來,沒錯,就是辣油,團購買的辛福-五仁辣麻果油,用辣椒,花椒,五種堅果做成的,可以吃到腰果,花生,葵花子等,先是用雞肉沾辣油吃,好好吃,最後把辣油拌到飯裡去吃,潔西吃辣,所以他們的大辣吃起來剛剛好,超美味的,沒想到辣油加親子丼這麼好吃,今天的新發現。

話說昨天餓到之後晚餐吃了一堆,回家繼續吃麻油雞當宵夜,還買了甜甜圈,原本只想吃一半,最後當然全部下肚,吃不夠還把先前吃剩下還不少的芥末花生跟芒果乾通通吃完。今天起來量體種居然比前一天瘦了0.2公斤,少吃一餐還是有差啊。

今天廢話真的超多,死不肯回去備課,因為床上堆了剛剛找資料整理的,數了數,一共躺了七本文法書,還想備下一課,但是沒力氣,動作實在太慢太會摸。還有明天雅思的東西也還沒準備好,但是好想睡,肚子有點餓,是不是寫食物寫出來的錯覺啊,認真備課去啦,不然明天上課要開天窗了,不如就用英文跟學生聊天這個主意也是不錯?反正雅思有Speaking,就來聊食物吧,哈哈哈。

啊,學生不知道考駕照有沒有過?應該有吧,昨天潔西睡前還在幫他祈禱,他上次壓線兩次沒過,今天請假去考試,明天應該會跟潔西說好消息吧?

洗澡睡覺去,才十點,現在睡太誇張了,但是眼睛要閉起來了,晚安晚安!

【潔西家】劍橋活用英語文法 中級 Unit 2 現在簡單式

平常比較喜歡在實體商店買東西的潔西經過昨天好像有點明白為什麼大家那麼愛在網路上買東西了。速度跟價格都很誇張。

潔西的筆電電池膨脹,在臉書上問了一下究竟要換5,900元的電池,還是買一台新的37,900元的新筆電。留言通通是買新的,然後看到其中一個工程師學生說新的用M2的MacBook Air配備很可以買,突然想到,多年前買MacBook似乎也是聽了同樣這位同學的建議,哈哈,所以下課就去附近的中和環球的實體店面看,蘋果電腦價格非常硬,完全沒折扣,也不配合百貨公司週年慶的活動。

當場看了MacBook Air跟MacBook Pro的價格只差兩千元,有什麼差別呢?回家問Google大師研究了一下,又跟老弟討論了一下,然後就開始上網看。原本想要等百貨公司週年慶,但是應該都是沒有配合吧,就在網路上找蝦皮跟Momo都有在做雙十節的活動,直接都減2,500元到2,700元,再加上潔西的信用卡刷這兩家有回饋3%,又可以省1,000元,所以就刷下去了。刷卡真的太可怕,跟用手機付款一樣,都沒有花錢的感覺。

潔西忘記在混什麼了呢,總之是10月10日半夜3:55刷卡的,然後最好有這麼誇張,10月10日下午潔西去公園散步回到家不到下午三點電腦就送到潔西家了,十二個小時都不到,價格又比實體店面優惠超多,難怪大家都要在網路上買東西。

打開有點嚇到,尤其放在潔西的Macbook旁邊,新筆電好大!恩,舊的是十二吋,新的十三吋,螢幕也大很多,速度當然也快。但不知道為什麼一開始就轉彩虹,現在手機跟筆電真的都是無痛接軌,上次換iPhone直接用資料傳輸也是超方便,筆電潔西先前發現電池膨脹時就用時光機把舊筆電的資料存好了,所以呢新筆電打開之後,就是更新,把硬碟接上,時光機直接把舊電腦的東西通通搬到新電腦,十幾萬的檔案也太誇張了,但是呢就放著讓它慢慢跑,基本上都不用管。

潔西趁機吃晚餐,幾個月沒開客廳的電視了吧,打開剛好是國慶煙火,潔西真的是老人,好多煙火的回憶湧上心頭。最美的是跟老姐到雪梨剛好看到澳洲國慶日的煙火,放煙火的船就在不遠的眼前,真的是最精彩,也很大聲。知名的雪梨跨年煙火是在比較遠的朋友家的屋頂上看,沒有去跟人家擠。在朋友家樓頂一邊烤肉一邊看101的煙火。跨年唯一一次跟外國友人到101前跟人家擠著看煙火。更年輕時有一次在三重突然聽到巨大聲響,抬頭一看,啊,在放國慶煙火。啊,某個跨年夜到學生宿舍跟韓國教練跟Quaker一起看電視前的煙火。年輕的時候反正就什麼都嘗試啊,年紀大就有很多回憶也不錯。

然後筆電好了就開始試,錄音沒聲音,啊,弄好久,在網路上找到答案,有個地方要開聲音。然後Dropbox不能同步,也弄好久,原來還是要重新下載。最後一個最煩,不能印文件,潔西幾乎每天都在印講義,不能印真的很傷腦筋,弄了一兩個小時吧,網路各種方法,自己知道的各種方式都試了,潔西的個性很討厭,隔天弄就好了,很鑽牛角尖的一直想弄好,到半夜一點實在不行了,到Epson官網,寫信去問,看了一下,潔西的保固到十月十八日,這麼剛好,剩下幾天而已。剛剛收到回信,有圖片教說要下載驅動程式,也有這麼想,但是沒有做,因為找不到,一直出現Windows的,總之呢,晚點回家來試試,上面還有寫說假如還是不行的話,歡迎再寫信或來電詢問,真的嗎?那每次潔西為什麼每次都在那掙扎那麼久,下次直接寫信或打電話去問就好了。

結果很不幸地,今天睡過頭,被學生的Line吵醒,因為潔西該上線上課,沒有上,Line也沒回,學生有點擔心。潔西明明記得有調鬧鐘的,今天早上還想去上瑜伽課,是按掉了,還是忘記設鬧鐘?昨天半夜三點被地震搖醒還有印象,前一天太累了。因為幾乎沒睡。

四點睡,六點被吵醒,繼續睡,八點又被吵醒,超級睡眠不足,也很久沒熬夜了,所以今天睡死了?上完課吃完飯,下午又繼續睡到要上課的時間,年紀大了真的不能熬夜。

然後潔西應該又到了躁期吧?衝動購買是特徵。今天天氣蠻涼的,是穿了毛線裙,不錯穿,大概再降五度穿剛剛好,想再去買黑色的,潔西有買兩個顏色同樣衣服的習慣,假如好穿的話。還是有點想睡,來不及去買咖啡了,上了課應該就會醒來。

今天還是帶舊筆電出門,新筆電會有點不太想帶出門上課,學生,不只一個,大部分的學生喜歡用筆指著螢幕,不知道為什麼,提醒時都會說我又沒碰到螢幕,但是潔西就會很緊張,而且新筆電好大,補習班的桌子超小,啊!明天要帶新的還是舊的出門呢?

昨天一整天休假,還是在備課,進度很不佳,因為睡眠不足?然後也拿出一堆文法書,做了講義。想發國慶日快樂文,但是實在沒有力氣發就去睡著了。上課去,大家收心愉快,明天就小週末了,幫大家耶!

潔西家基礎英文教室 第二課 Part B 現在簡單式一般動詞 Part C 現在簡單式 be動詞與一般動詞改否定 Part D 現在簡單式Yes/No 問句 Part E 工作

潔西覺得自己真的是太可怕了,一個自言自語狂耶。一個晚上沒睡覺,然後錄影片每隻都可以錄個二三十分鐘,合起來應該超過上課得時間了,不好意思,這裡面廢話有點多,不過也有些補充啦。睡不著的原因,有點懶得說了,說起來好長喔,把昨天的糗事放上來好了。開心地大笑是好的一天的開始。

 

昨天發生的事:

 

小姐,你東西掉了!好心的妹妹追上來,潔西才發現筆電包的拉鏈忘記拉,非常潔西。還有什麼其他東西掉嗎?不知,沒印象放了什麼。

 

中午去買了路由器,滑鼠,網路攝影機,無線網卡後,要離開前臨時想到又回去敗了機械式鍵盤。但是要刷卡時怎麼樣都找不到卡片,翻遍皮夾包包手機都沒有,還問電員說,你真的有還我信用卡嗎?店員說跟收據ㄧ起給你了啊!

 

急得要命找了又找,最後是在桌上找到,被潔西已經買了的東西蓋住,也就是說假如潔西沒再買鍵盤,信用卡就留在桌上了,雖然說也不一定會丟,好心的店員有看到的話應該會幫潔西收起來,但是還是覺得自己太誇張,上次在頂好也是信用卡放在刷悠遊卡的地方就開心回家了。

 

今天要去拿良民證,到警察局,五點零六分到,以為五點半關門,結果是五點就關了,不要嫌前一班公車太多人又等了十來分的車就來得及了。暈倒。

 

上課前又衝到東區Sogo附近買耳機,到了店家,五點打烊,見鬼了,也太早。又跑到明耀,店員說撤櫃了,再到誠品,哇,都高檔貨,買不起。潔西只是要個全罩擋噪音的耳機有這麼難嗎?

 

不死心,下課後又衝到光南,這次有先👀時間開到十點半。終於買到了。 All’s well that ends well. 皇天不負苦心人,辛苦的一天,連十公里的蛋都孵出大甲。Today is definitely not my day. 還好今天只剩幾小時就結束了。

 

十點起床到現在只吃了一個貝果,因為太趕了,餓死了啦!明天會更好,安慰自己中。

 

繼續補充,剛剛拆了耳機發現是大接頭,那手機跟電腦不就不能聽?看了說明書,有附小接頭啊,怎麼找都找不到,最後最後,發現原來人家是鎖在上面,轉下來就好 = =

 

然後回到家又找不到鑰匙,出門前明明衝回家拿了丟進去了啊?感恩老弟來開門,後來想說不會不見吧?還好在袋子的深處。

 

然後今天大早起床沒多久就把滿滿的一杯水倒在桌子上,亂七八糟的桌子有一堆發票,一堆藥,滑鼠,滑鼠墊,鬧鐘,行動電源,錢包,遙控器,插頭,手機,講義,髮圈,擦到快暈倒,後來又發現發票的痕跡印在白色桌子上,怎麼擦都擦不掉,連碧蓮都拿出來了,最後找到一罐老弟給的不知道什麼東西的清潔液總算消失了,潔西氣到都想換新桌面了。真的是起床起錯邊,今天要換方向睡,明天換另一邊起床,看會不會順利點啊。

 

要來去吃非常不配的大麥克配排骨湯了,耶!

 

繼續 drama ,剛剛要看影片,螢幕,螢幕沒有東西,水沒噴到螢幕,螢幕怎麼會壞掉呢?不會吧?沒訊號,啊,清的時候有動到電腦,線動到了吧?怎麼可是沒鬆掉啊,拔出來再接回去還不行,那重開機好了,耶,有了。

 

但是但是,無線滑鼠不能動,可惡,早上泡水壞掉了嗎?然後發現,啊,忘記插 USB 了,昨天換下來用筆電玩 LoL 美服雷了別人一場。插上USB 還是不能動,可惡,真的壞了?結果是開關忘記開。但是了還是不能動。氣死了,漢堡都冷了。然後還好今天有買新滑鼠,耶,立馬換,換了還是動不了,有這麼誇張?買到壞的滑鼠?結果再換回無線滑鼠,還是不行,可惡,再換一次有線滑鼠,忘記裝電池嗎?有線不是不用電池嗎?看說明插上就可以用啊,氣死了,換個 USB 槽看看,又過了一下,噫,上面說這按這裡安裝驅動程式,啊,就滑鼠就不能動,怎麼按?什麼跟什麼啦?把鍵盤拿起來按半天,也沒動靜,然後剛剛才發現,恩,那個無線鍵盤是配合無線滑鼠的鍵盤,沒插 USB 當然不能動XD 最後他就自己跑一跑驅動程式跑完了就可以動了啊,哈哈哈。

 

我才烤好的漢堡冷掉了啊 ,不過排骨湯熱好了,11:42分,終於可以吃到晚餐了啊QQ

 

一定要這麼曲折嗎?亂七八糟的房間吃飽飯起碼要整理個半個小時一個小時以上啊,吃飽才有力氣,無言的一天,吃飯去

 

吃飽飯,因為吃太飽看影片,然後開始想明天要上課的內容,想著想著翻了一堆書出來研究,不良嗜好,然後突然想到,啊,這星期上課的內容還沒有錄,真是心虛,就錄了起來,然後一說就停不了,真是恐怖,文章寫超長,自言自語習慣了,所以聊天就可以隨便就說一堆啊… 大家早安!

 

 

 

B Present Simple 現在簡單式   

I buy a clothes today. (X)  

I bought a T-shirt today.

I’m going to buy a T-shirt today. 

I buy clothes every month. 

 

英文有十二個時態。在學每一個時態時要記住四點:使用時機、句型、動詞變

化以及搭配的副詞。最重要是理解跟多做練習,才能靈活運用、得心應手

 

一、現在簡單式的使用時機

1. 英文用現在簡單式用來表達重複進行的活動、習慣、嗜好。

I take a shower in the morning. / He plays basketball every weekend.

She takes a bus to school. / We don’t take the bus. We take the MRT.

2. 現在簡單式也用來表達事實、真理。

I’m a student. / He has two sons. / We love English.

The sun rises in the east and sets in the west.

sunrise   sunset

 

二、現在簡單式的句型

(ㄧ)一般動詞的句型為 S + V1 (V1指的是動詞的原形)

1. 肯定句    S  +     V1    (第三人稱單數動詞後要加s)

I          cook dinner every night.

My mother     cooks diner for me.

He/She/It      sleeps all the time.

 

2. 否定與問句需要有do或does這兩個助動詞來幫忙。在助動詞後面加not ,第三人稱單數主詞( he, she, it 或其他可以用這三個字代替的字)的動詞後面要用 doesn’t ,因為 doesn’t 這裡有第三人稱單數的 s 了,所以後面的動詞不可以再加 s ,要加原型動詞。 比方說 He speaks English. 他講英文。He doesn’t speak Spanish.  他不講西班牙文。

否定句     S   +    do not/does not    +    V1

I/You/We/They         do not/don’t              eat breakfast every day.

She/He/It           does not/doesn’t        like Japanese food.

brunch = breakfast + lunch  I don’t eat sashimi./salmon./ I like ramen.

 

3. Yes/No 問句 把助動詞放在主詞前面造問句

Do/Does   +   S    +  V1

Do                you       live with your parents?  Yes, I do. / No, I don’t.

Does             Tom       speak English?   Yes, he does. / No, he doesn’t.

Can you speak English?

Do you speak English? (polite)

Can she use knife and fork?    chopsticks

 

4. WH問句則將疑問詞放在最前面再依序放助動詞、主詞、動詞,其他的部份

WH     do/does    +   S    +       V1

What time  do          you           finish work?       I finish work at 5.30.

Where     does        Linda          go to school?     She goes to Taiwan High School.

How       does        your father    like his job?     He loves it.

Why         do           you             study English?  Because it is useful.

 

三、現在簡單式副詞:every day, once a week, always, usually, often, never…等。

once a week, twice a month, three times a year

always, usually, often, sometimes, hardly ever, never

 

 

四、現在簡單式拼字與發音規則
