俗話說,“小孩小孩你別饞,過了臘八就是年?!鞭r(nóng)歷臘月初八,是中國傳統(tǒng)節(jié)日——臘八節(jié)(Laba Festival)。“臘”代表中國農(nóng)歷的十二月,臘八粥(Laba porridge)是Laba Festival的“重頭戲”。Sally和Jolly用Vlog記錄了他們一家過Laba Festival的溫暖生活,咱們一起去看看吧!
臘八粥也稱“八寶粥”(Babao porridge),它由多種食材熬制而成,但各地食材搭配有所不同,主要有米(rice)、紅豆(red beans)、蓮子(lotus seeds)、棗子(dates)、花生(peanuts)等。
Sally和Jolly在超市挑選食材,想知道近處多個物品是什么時,可以問:“What are these?”詢問較遠的物品時,可以問:“What are those?”“these”和“those”指代復數(shù)的事物,回答都用“They are ...”或“Theyre ...”,意思是“它們是……”。
“Are these/those ...?”意為:“這些/那些是……嗎?”它是一般疑問句,其答句用:“Yes, they are./No, they arent.”
選擇正確的選項補全句子。
( ? ?) 1.—Are these peanuts? —Yes, they _________.
A. are ? ?B. arent
( ? ?) 2. —What are those? —_________ dates.
A. Its ? ?B. Theyre
買東西詢問價格時,可以用“How much”,意思是“多少錢”。單數(shù)或不可數(shù)名詞用:“How much is ...? ”回答時常用:“Its+價格.”復數(shù)名詞用:“How much are ...? ”回答時常用:“Theyre+價格.”
“How much”除了可以用來詢問價格,還可以用來詢問不可數(shù)名詞的量。如:How much rice would you like? (你想要多少米飯?)詢問可數(shù)名詞的量用“How many”,如:How many apples would you like? (你想要多少個蘋果?)
選詞填空。
A. How many ? ?B. How much
1. — ? ? ? ? ?are these peanuts? —Fifteen yuan, please.
2. — ? ? ? ? ?dates do you have? —I have thirty-two.
3. — ? ? ? ? ?porridge would you like? —Id like a bowl of porridge.
Sally想知道臘八粥的味道如何,于是問:“How is it?”媽媽用“Its hot and nice.”來表達對臘八粥的夸贊。
“How”還經(jīng)常與其他形容詞或副詞搭配使用,構(gòu)成特殊疑問詞。如:“How old” 用于詢問年齡,“How about” 用于詢問對方意見,“How long”用于詢問花費的時間和物體的長度,“How far ”用于詢問距離,等等。
情景匹配。
( ? ?)1. Hows the weather? A. For a week.
( ? ?)2. How are you? B. I agree with you.
( ? ?)3. How old is your brother? C. Hes five years old.
( ? ?)4. How about you? D. Im fine.
