第五十八课 A blessing in disguise? 是因祸得福吗？

一、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。

2、继续做两句话概括的练习。

用两句概括，请大家自己做。

从第三十一课开始，我不再提供摘要练习的答案。请大家认真做好摘要练习，这是提高表达能力，进而提高写作能力，特别是围绕中心进行写作的好方法。希望大家坚持，我会在会员社区帮大家修改摘要，并且适当做一些讲评，选出比较好的摘要供大家参考。

二、本课重点：“据说”的妙用

英文中表示“据说”这个意思最常见的表达方法是”it is said”。这个结构在写作中很有用。这个结构中发出说的动作的人没有出现，可能是“有的人”“很多人”“别的人”“旁人”“他们”等等，所以，真正说的人很不明确，在写作的时候，我们如果不关心究竟是说的，或者不想说出是谁说的，就可以用这个结构，此外，用这个结构的潜在含义是：这是别人的看法，跟我无关；或者，这是别人的看法，我根本不这么认为。总而言之，很有用的结构。

1、 It is said we are going to have seven days off.
2、 He’s not as clever as he’s said to be.
3、 At least a hundred people are said to have been killed.
4、 The tiny village of Frinley is said to possess a “cursed tree”.

从it is said这个结构我们可以看出，被动语态很有用，可以帮助我们隐去动作的发出者，可以表示作者对某个说法或看法不太相信的意思。

三、值得学习的表达

1、 The number of visitors to Frinley has now increased.
The number of visitors has now decreased.
The number of students back has increased a lot.
The number of visitors to the city has increased dramatically.

2、 It has gained an evil reputation.
He has gained a good reputation.
His hard work has earned him a good reputation.

3、 The tree has already claimed a number of victims.
The house has already claimed thee deaths within a year.
The railroad by the village has claimed more than three victims.

4、 The tree is a useful source of income.
To provide good service, we have to find a stable source of income.
He became a famous reporter because he had reliable sources.

四、课后作文练习

每年要淹死3条人命的小湖
