2c PairworkStudent A, look at the chart below. Student B, look at the chart on page 81. Ask and answer questions about Sam and Tom.

2d PairworkRole-play the conversation.

Julie: Did you like the singing competition yesterday, Anna?Anna: Oh, it was fantastic! Nelly sang so well!Julie: Well, I think Lisa sang better than Nelly.Anna: Oh, which one is Lisa?

Pairwork

Julie: The one with shorter hair. I think she sang more clearly than Nelly.Anna: Yes, but Nelly danced better than Lisa.Julie: You can tell/ that Lisa really wanted to win, though.Anna: Well, everyone wants to win. But the most important thing is to learn something new and have fun.

1. That’s Tara, isn’t it? 那是塔拉，对吗？ 此句是在 That’s Tara. 这一陈述之后

添加了一个附着的简略疑问结构，用以进行确认。在语法上，这种句式被称作“附加疑问句”。通常情况下，若陈述部分为肯定，便用否定形式进行提问；若陈述部分为否定，便用肯定形式进行提问。如：

There’s someone in the room, isn’t there?

房间里有人，是吧？He didn’t say anything at the meeting, did

he?

他在会上什么也没说，对吗？We can’t say it this way, can we?

我们不能这样说，对不对？

2. Did you like the singing competition

yesterday, Anna ？英语和汉语表达习惯有很多不同，甚至会相互产生干扰。询问或谈论是否喜欢过去的事情，英语要用过去时，这是因为所谈论的核心着眼点在过去，而非现在。 因此，上句不能说成：Do you like the singing competition

yesterday? 如：

I saw a movie last weekend. It was so

exciting.

上周末我看了一部电影。它太刺激了。( 不能说 It is so exciting.)

I went to visit my grandparents last

weekend.

上周末我去看我祖父母去了。We had a math exam yesterday.

昨天我们有一场数学考试。
