1、Unit 2 Part 2Using language能力提升練-2022-2023學(xué)年高中英語外研版能力提升練.閱讀理解As an English teacher, I found that English slang(俚語)can be more difficult for those who learn English as a second language to understand. It can be confusing too.This became clear when I was talking to one of my students, Cathy, in Japan.

2、 “Excuse me, Miss White. I want to go to buy a notebook outside the school.” “Its bucketing outside,” I said. It is an English slang expression which means “it is raining”. However, she didnt seem to understand what I said.The point Im trying to get across is that being puzzled about English slang i

3、n the beginning is rather natural because it is what makes the language special. But learning some slang is a fantastic way of understanding the culture of a country. English does have some interesting slang. Here is some of my favorite slang which is common in Northern Ireland.To keel over: If some

I was 1 to see that it was an English-English dictionary, also known as a monolingual(單語的)dictionary. Al

9、though it was a dictionary intended for non-native learners, none of my classmates had one and, to be honest, I found it extremely 2 to use at first. I would 3 words in the dictionary but still could not fully understand the meanings. I was used to the 4 English-Chinese dictionaries, in which the wo

10、rds are 5 both in English and Chinese. I really wondered why my aunt gave me such 6 to make things so difficult for me. Now, I understand that monolingual dictionaries are 7 in learning a foreign language. As I 8, there is actually often no perfect equivalent(對(duì)應(yīng)詞)between two 9 in two languages. My a

For example, everybody knows that Bob 2(be) a

16、lways a nice person. But he saw a Christmas present he liked, and then ran away with 3. A speaker might say, “I cant 4(real) believe it! Bob actually stole the Christmas present.” Here, the speaker uses “actually” to show the unexpectedness of a happeningBob stole the present. She does not sound ver

17、y happy! Speakers can use “actually” to show good feelings, too. Lets take Ted for exampleanother person who always forgets 5 (give) gifts for Christmas.

18、y” shows that they are pleasantly surprised at this strange happening: Ted 7 (remember) Christmas that day! 8 fact, they felt rather happy.
