M: Should we have a party?

F: Do you think that we should have a party?

下面我们来学怎么用简短的方式回答刚才那种问句. 比方有人问你: Do you think that it is going to rain? 如果你认为会, 你就回答说: Yes, I think so. 如果你 认为不会你就回答说: No, I don't think so. 现在我们来听亨利问凯特一些问题, 每问一句, 老师就会提出一个 yes 或是 no, 然后请你根据这些作肯定或是否 定的答覆. 现在我们开始.

M: Do you think that it is going to rain this weekend?

F: No

F: No, I don't think so.

M: Do you think that we can drive to the beach?

F: Yes

F: Yes, I think so.

M: Do You think that it is going to be crowded there?

F: Yes

F: Yes, I think so.

M: Do you think that you will enjoy the trip?

F: Yes

F: Yes, I think so.

M: Do you think that the kids can go with us?

F: No

F: No, I don't think so.

五.THOUGHT+宾语从句

下面我们来学动词 think 的过去式 thought, t-h-o-u-g-h-t, thought 加上连词 that 再加上宾语从句的用法.比方有一句话: I thought that he would come. 这句话可 以表示 "我当时就认为他会来" , 也可以表示 "我以为他会来".比方在这课的 对话里, 亨利听凯特说孩子们不能一起去旅行之后, 就说: I thought that the whole family could go together. 在这种情况下,这句话就应该解释为 "我以为可 以全家一起去".

下面我们来作一组练习, 学学这种用法.首先我们听凯特说一个否定句, Jenny is not coming home. 请你把句子改成: I thought that she was. 每作完一句就请 你听亨利念正确答案.

F: Jenny is not coming home this weekend.

M: I thought that she was.

F: Peter and Linda are not going with us.

M: I thought that they were.

F: We can't have a family trip this weekend.

M: I thought that we could.

F: We can't take the kids with us.

M: I thought that we could.

F: The kids won't enjoy a family trip this weekend.

M: I thought that they would.

六.听短文回答问题

现在我们来作今天的听力测验, 首先还是请你听一段文章, 内容是说美国家庭 在周未里作什么样的休闲活动, 他们除了请朋友们过来聚一聚, 还可以参加体 育活动, 还可以上街买东西等等, 有些家庭利用周未种花, 种菜或是修修房子 等等.

现在请你注意听:

Most American businesses are open five days a week. American school children attend school five days a week as well. American families usually have a two-day weekend.

The weekend is Saturday and Sunday.

Over the weekend, people spend their time in many different ways. Many families enjoy weekends together. They may go shopping, go for a drive, or visit friends. They may also invite friends over and have a party at home. Many American families participate in sports during the weekend. Running, biking, playing volleyball and swimming are popular in the summer. Skiing and skating are the favorite winter sports.

Weekends are also a time for American families to work on something in their yards or on their houses. Many families plant flowers and have vegetable gardens. Some families use the weekends to paint or repair their houses. For most Americans, weekends are very busy.

刚才那段文章比较长, 等一会儿我会请老师再念一遍,现在我们先来听今天测 验的三个问题.

第一个问题是:

M: What is the weekend in the United States?

第二个问题是:

M: What are some of the popular summer sports for American families?

第三个问题是:

M: What kinds of work do many American families do?

现在我请英文老师用慢速度再把整段文章念一遍.
