Doyouliketostudygeography?你喜歡學(xué)習(xí)地理嗎？geographyn．地理(學(xué))例:Thestudentsintheclassroomarelearninggeography.教室里的學(xué)生正在學(xué)習(xí)地理。2.Recently,wehavelearnedaboutthepopulationoftheworld.最近，我們已經(jīng)學(xué)習(xí)了有關(guān)河流、山脈和海洋（的內(nèi)容）。learnabout了解LucycomesheretolearnaboutChineseculture.露西來這兒是為了了解中國文化。2)populationn．人口常被看做一個(gè)整體，是人口的總稱，沒有復(fù)數(shù)形式。使用時(shí)要注意以下四點(diǎn)：①表示“某地有多少人口”，常使用固定結(jié)構(gòu)：Sp.hasapopulationof…＝Thepopulationofsp.is…例：ThepopulationofCanadaisabout38million.＝Canadahasapopulationofabout38million.加拿大大約有三千八百萬人口。②“人口的多/少”用形容詞large/big或者small來表示，不能用many/much或few/little。例:Chinahasalarge/bigpopulation.

中國人口眾多。③population在句中作主語的時(shí)候，謂語動(dòng)詞使用單數(shù)形式。例：ThepopulationofChinaismorethan1.4billion.中國的人口超過14億。④詢問人口多少的句型：What’sthepopulationof…？/Howlargeisthepopulationof…？注意：不能用howmany或howmuch來對人口數(shù)量進(jìn)行提問。例:What’sthepopulationofIndia？印度人口有多少？3.Ithinktravelling

isagoodwaytolearngeography.

我認(rèn)為旅行是一個(gè)學(xué)習(xí)地理的好方式。動(dòng)名詞（短語）作主語該句是一個(gè)含賓語從句的復(fù)合句，在賓語從句中，travelling是動(dòng)名詞作主語，其后的謂語動(dòng)詞用單數(shù)形式；tolearngeography為動(dòng)詞不定式短語作后置定語，修飾agoodway。例：LearningEnglishwellisgoodforourfuture.學(xué)好英語對我們的未來有好處。

4.Haveyoueverbeenabroad,Danny?你曾去過國外嗎，丹尼？abroadadv.在國外，到國外，出國固定搭配：goabroad去國外beabroad在國外例:Lucy’ssisterhasbeenabroadforseveralmonths.露西的姐姐已經(jīng)在國外待了幾個(gè)月了。Ihaveneverbeenabroad.我從未去過國外。5.TheyspeakJapaneseinJapan,notChinese.

在日本他們說日語，不是漢語。Japanesen．日語；日本人當(dāng)作“日本人”講時(shí)，單復(fù)數(shù)同形。例：Ican’tspeakJapanese.我不會(huì)說日語。TheseJapanesearevisitingtheGreatWall.這些日本人正在參觀長城。6.HehasbeentoeverycontinentexceptAntarctica.除了南極洲，他去過每一個(gè)洲。

except、besides、exceptfor與butexcept除了表示從整體中除去同類事物besides除了……之外還有表示包括所排除事物在內(nèi)exceptfor除了用于對某種基本情況進(jìn)行具體細(xì)節(jié)方面的修正，排除不同類事物but除了只能用在no、none、nobody等詞之后例：EveryoneishereexceptBen.除了本之外，大家都在這兒。Ilikemathsbesidesphysics.除了物理，我還喜歡數(shù)學(xué)。YourEnglishhandwritingisgoodexceptforafewspellingmistakes.除了幾處拼寫錯(cuò)誤之外，你的英語書寫很好。Thereisnothingbutacardinthebox.除了一張卡片之外盒子里什么也沒有。7.It’sfuntotravel.旅行太有意思了。該句的句型結(jié)構(gòu)為：It’s(＋not)＋adj.＋todosth.意為“做某事(不)是……的”。其中it作形式主語，is是系動(dòng)詞，fun作表語，后面的動(dòng)詞不定式短語作真正的主語。例：It’simportanttoprotecttheenvironment.保護(hù)環(huán)境很重要。1.Learnsomenewwordsandexpressions.2.Learntotalkabouttheplaceswhichyouhavevisited.3.Masterthepresentperfecttense.Sumup
