I think it's a good book.
2). What do you think of this picture?
Very nice. =I think it's very nice.
3). How does she like/find your work?

2.speak, say,和 talk
▲speak 强调说话的能力，方式和对象，不强调说话的内容。用作及物动词时，一般用表示语言的名词或代词作宾语。

老师正在对他的学生讲话。
The woman can't speak, but she can read.
那位妇女不会说话，但她可以认字。
He can speak Japanese, but he can't speak Chinese.
他会说日语，但他不会说中文。
speak只能接表示语言的名词或代词作宾语，其它时候一般用作不及物动词。
▲ say必须带宾语，强调说什么。
Please say it in English.
请用英语说。
What is he saying?
他在说些什么？
He says," Let me help you."
他说："我来帮助你吧。"
●以上三个例句中，it, what以及 "Let me help you"都是say的宾语，表示说话的内容。
▲ talk与介词 to或 with 搭配，表示"与……交谈"，与介词about或of搭配表示所谈及的内容。
What is she talking about?
He is talking to us about you.
We are talking about our good friend.
● talk一般用作不及物动词，不能直接带宾语，必须通过介词才能接宾语。另外： talk to sb表示"和某人交谈"，speak to表示"对某人讲话".

4．People 和the people

There are four people in my family.
How many people are there in the classroom?
▲ people作"人民"解时，前面总是有定冠词the。

5.follow
▲ follow 用作及物动词，作"跟随"解。

别叫我Lucy，我是 Lily。
Listen! Someone is calling you.
听！有人在叫你。
You can call me tomorrow.
你可以明天给我打电话。
Now let me call your names.
现在我来点名。
7．Lucy and I go to school five days a week.
我和每周上学五天。
▲英语中的并列主语或宾语指的是人，通常先说第三第二人称，然后说第一人称。如本句Lucy and I不能说成I and Lucy，这与中文恰恰相反。
Lucy, you and I are on duty today.
Tom and I must clean the classroom.
▲ five days a week是"每周五天"的意思，在句中作状语，这里不定冠 词 a具有"每一"的意思，相当于each，但通常不用 each 替换，更不能用every替换。
She's at home with her parents four days a month.
她每月有四天和她父母一起呆在家里。
I'm not at work two days a week.
每周我有两天不上班。
8. We teach them English and they teach us Chinese.
▲ 动词teach 可作及物动词，也可作不及物动词。作及物动词时有三种情况，可说teach sb（宾格），可说teach sth，也可说teach sb（宾格）sth。尤其要注意在teach sb sth中，sb 如是代词，必须用宾格，不用所有格。
Does Mr. Wang teach in this school?
王老师在这所学校教书吗？
Miss Liu teaches very well. She's a good teacher.
刘老师教得非常好，她是个好老师。
Miss Zhang teaches us Chinese this term.
张老师这个学期教我们语文。
9. Our friends ask us to go to their homes for dinner.
▲ ask sb to do sth 表示"要某人做某事"。
He asks us to go and see him.
他要我去见他。
Does he ask you to give him a hand?
他要你帮他了吗？
▲ go to their homes中的 homes被their 修饰，因此是名词，前面要带介词to 。go home 中的home 是副词，前面不能带介词to。
What time do you go home on Friday afternoon?
星期五下午你几点回家？
I'm going to her home at six this evening.
今天晚上六点我将要去她家。
10．Make friends交朋友
make friends with sb意思是"与某人叫朋?quot;，这一短语中的 friends 总是复数，不能用单数，不能说make （a） friend with sb。
My uncle makes many friends in America.
我的叔叔在美国交了许多朋友。
My mother likes to make friends with doctors.
我妈妈喜欢与医生交朋友。

答案：
1---5 CBBDA
6.本题中人称代词的单数形式作teaches 的宾语，应用I的宾格形式 me。
7.How many后接可数名词的复数形式， people本身就是复数，所以只把 people填入空格就可以了。
8．American作名词时指美国人，第一空格应用复数形式Americans; America 是国家的名称，所以第二个空格填America.
9. Chinese 的单复相同，第一个空格填Chinese;第二个空格应填国家名China;最后一格填Chinese,译为"汉语"。
10. be friendly to sb表示"对某人友好"，顾应填friend 的形容词形式friendly。
11.students 是复数，所以，be动词应用are,不能用is.
12.like doing sth,应把work改为working.
13.不能用be动词are，应用助动词do.
14.Do you speak English?的答语应是Yes, I do，不能用Yes, I am.
15.既然有许多朋友，friend应变成复数friends。
