center centre color colour favorite favourite
traveling travelling math maths neighbor neighbour
3、请写出下列词的近义词。
lift film autumn holiday
rubber mail high school soccer
【堂学习】
(1).Why don’t dogs go to school?
【辨析】这是一个疑问否定句，翻译成“为什么不。。。。。。呢？”否定疑问句Why don’t you do sth?专门用表示建议或询问对方的想法，相当于Why not do sth?,
ΔWhy don’t you ask the teacher for help?
== Why not ask the teacher for help?
类似的表达式还有：
Shall we do sth? /Let’s do sth./ What /How about doing sth?/ Would you like to do sth/ Do you want to do sth?
(2).What’s school like? It’s like watching TV. 学校是什么样子？它像看电视一样。
【辨析】What’s school like?相当于What does school look like?在这当中like是介词。be like 像 look like看起像，强调视觉印象，大多数情况下它们是可以替换使用的，但有时候还是有区别的，试分析下列例句，看看它们到底区别在哪里。
He looks like his mother. His mother is like his friend.
Do you want to watch movies on Internet? It’s like watching TV.
like作动词讲，意为“喜欢”。 would like意为“想要”后面跟名词或to do sth.
选用be like, look like, would like, like 的适当形式填空：
1. ? What subject ______ you _______?- I ________ English.
2. ? What _______ Yao ing ________? -- He is tall and strong.
3. ? What _____ you _______ to do on the coming holiday? -- I _______ to go to orea for holiday.
