一、上期参考答案

1、摘要写作

Jane crossed the Channel last year. She threw a bottle into the sea. It contained a piece of paper with her name and address on it. Ten months later, she received a letter from a girl in Holland. They write to each other regularly now by post. (47字)

概括型版本：

Jane threw a bottle with her name and address on a piece of paper in it into the sea. She then received a reply from a girl in Holland and they started to send letters to each other by post now. (41字)

2、标点符号

Punctuation marks are to reading what street signs and signals are to driving; they help tell us where we are, when to go, when to make a turn, when to slow down, and when to stop. When the marks aren’t where they should be, we can easily get lost—and frustrated.
To write readable stuff, we have to know what the marks mean and where to use them. In general the system of punctuation is designed to group and separate parts of sentences. So let’s take up the marks in turn.

3、作文

Seeing a doctor

My friend, John, has suffered from a headache for years. He has made up his mind to have a thorough examination because it is getting worse and worse. Last Monday, he went to a hospital and complained to a doctor that he often fails to fall asleep all night because of his headache. The doctor only prescribed some sleeping pills. But sleeping pills have nothing to do with his headache. He then complained to the head of the hospital about the doctor. The head said the doctor must have misunderstood him. Then he had to send a message about his headache to his doctor in the emptied sleeping pill bottle. The message said, "I am suffering from a headache, not insomnia!"

二、摘要写作

1、摘要练习

分别使用快速阅读法、听写法和合并法练习写摘要。
将合并句子写的摘要贴到会员社区。自己根据课文内容，将可以合并的句子合并，去掉一些细节，篇幅争取控制在50字到60字。答案见下期。

2、继续做两句话概括的练习。

用两句概括，请大家自己做。答案见下期。

三、本课重点：标点符号（二）

现在来学习英文中逗号的使用。看看下面的句子有什么问题：

1、He knows English、 Chinese、 French and German.

英文中没有顿号，例举事物的时候使用的是逗号。上述句子应该改为：
He knows English, Chinese, French and German.
又如：
In her bag, I found a comb, a lipstick, a pack of tissue paper and a mirror.

另外，非限制性同位语、插入语和其他独立成分的前后需要用逗号将它与句子的其他成分分开。如：
2、China, a developing country, is in Asia.
3、You painting, to tell you the truth, is so boring.

但限制性的同位语不用逗号分隔，如：
The well-known scientist Einstein set up this theory.

逗号还可以用来将复合句中相对独立的从句跟主句分割开，如：
If she comes, she will get a surprise.
It is a very modern house, so it looks strange to some people.

四、作文线索

本课写的是一个乡间新居如何与众不同。要特别注意课文中的时态变化。

现在请大家按照下面的要求，来完成一篇作文。参考答案见下期。
你的朋友5年前来看你的时候，你住在一个3人宿舍。现在你已经搬进一个两居两厅的公寓式住房。而你的朋友下周就要来访。请自行加上细节的描述，注意时态的一致。
