3.形容词解释和理解
3.1 形容词的解释
很多同学在描述自己家乡的时候会说“My hometown is very beautiful, and the people are very friendly.”这是可以的，只是分数不会很好，如果可以养成在一个形容词后面给出一些解释或例子的说话习惯就更好了；每个人理解漂亮，友好这些形容词的意思是有差别的，所以如果能给出例子来证明你所指的漂亮和友好，考官会更信服；另外，说话内容多了，细节点多了，分数自然也会上升，举个例子：
My hometown is a very beautiful city because there’s so much greenery around the city. Also, the people in
my hometown are really friendly. For example, they’re always very welcoming towards visitors, and if
you’re a guest at someone’s home, they’ll look after you very well.
Here are some other examples of describing things in more detail:
1. Most of my math classes at school were really boring. I mean, all we did was just go through the text
book.
Alternative explanation:_______________________________________________
2. My grandfather is really interesting, because I mean, whenever I’m with him, he always tells me
many stories about his life that can always interest me a lot.
Alternative explanation:_______________________________________________
3. He’s a really funny guy, you know, he’s always cracking jokes and he never seems to take anything
seriously.
Alternative explanation:_______________________________________________
4. My major’s really interesting, because for example, we do a lot of case studies of foreign companies
operating in China, which helps us learn more about the practical side of doing business, and not just
the theory.
Alternative explanation:_______________________________________________

3.2 难点形容词的理解（6.5+须掌握）
考题中各类形容词频频现身，考过带形容词的高频话题有：
‘an important person/plant ', 'a polite person',' an interesting
person/speech/conversation', ‘a good parent', 'a useful website'
2014年重磅出击的题目“an intelligent person you know’ ‘an interesting conversation you had with
somebody’难点在于是否能准确理解'Intelligent'和’interesting’, 便于更好准备Part2话题素材，以下提供
‘intelligent’和‘interesting’这两个较'抽象'词的理解：
Intelligent person:
An intelligent person is never afraid or ashamed to find errors in his understanding of things.
An intelligent person is one who needs to know, not just how to do it, but why we do it and what
makes it work. An intelligent person will ask many questions and seek various
answers. Their mind is always working.
An intelligent person is not only academically developed but is also a person who goes further
in the question. They don't only solve the question but can explain it in different ways.
An intelligent person has many qualities in him like the capacity to reason, think, solve problems, and
think abstractly. A young intelligent person is said to be more of a visionary, who sets targets
and achieves them.
Interesting conversation:
不少话题会有interesting这个形容词，现热门话题为‘An interesting conversation you had(with a stranger)',
interesting conversation 并非一定是funny的，
interesting的准确意思：ng curiosity or interest;
g or catching the attention.
Brain storming task:
想别人说的哪些事情能引起你的好奇心，兴趣或注意？
1) _______________________________________________________________
2) _______________________________________________________________
3) _______________________________________________________________

例如：
一个人的创业史（第一桶金来源），梦想的实现，恋爱婚姻观（相亲史/不婚主义），特殊的旅行经历，某人对于热门话题的独特见解等，这些都可以是有意思对话的素材，举个小例（主体部分）：
An unknown man I met in the train during a journey started a topic about how the kids and young people
from the new generation have little passion on learning and busy doing unproductive staffs. Surely I
started defensing the young generation and expressed the differences the new generation had with their
ancestors. The conversation started to turn into a debate and both of us used our logic and reasoning. The
conversation was interesting and I was actively participating in it mostly because he had good and polite
way of conversation. He told his reasoning for this belief but when I showed him my logic,though this man
was around 12 years senior to me, he never took any advantages of it and he treated me as an equally
skilled opponent on this issue. Besides, he agreed that he learned many new facts about the new
generation and our ways of thinking and lifestyles.

7.2 The mix use of tenses时态转化或综合使用范例(更高分）
1. What changes have taken place in your hometown in the last 20 years?
Well, I'm pretty young, but my parents always complain that my hometown's
traffic is much worse, and they say that prices are a lot higher. But I think on
the positive side, life is better, houses are in better condition and there are
much better shops and cleaner conditions in the restaurants.
2. Has tourism changed China very much?
Yes, very much in the last 10 years. Each year we are getting more tourists coming to
China since the open-door policy. Some big cities in China have become more
cosmopolitan, attracting more foreigners in recent years.
3. Has the transport changed over the past 20 years in China?
Yes, a lot. We used to have very few bus lines years ago and people chose to go around the city by bike .
But now in big cities there are more bus lines or new subway system, which has made commuting a lot
easier and faster than before.
4. How long have you been studying English?
In my memories, I started learning English in junior school, so I guess you could say I have been keeping
learning it for more than 9 years in total,even though it's been kind of "off and on."
5. Do you like planting?
Though I don’t plant now, in my memories I used to be fond of planting lovely sunflowers or taking care
of potted plants. I was actually good at keeping plants healthy as a child, so I suppose that I did love
planting when I was much younger.

Learn from the following example.
Incorporation offers several advantages to businesses and their owners. For one thing,ownership is easy
to transfer. The business is able to maintain a continuous existence even when the original owners are no
longer involved (Brown, 1999). In addition, the stockholders of a corporation are not held responsible for
the business's debts (Henry,2009). If the XYZ Corporation defaults on a $1 million loan, for instance, its
investors will not be held responsible for paying that liability. Incorporation also enables a business to
obtain professional managers with centralised authority and responsibility; therefore,the business can be
run more efficiently (Schwartz, 2010). Finally, incorporation gives a business certain legal rights . For
example, it can enter into contracts, own property.
