Language points:

1.My parents love to have lunch and shop there, although parking is a problem.

although 虽然；尽管，与 though 同义，做连词，引导让步状语从句。在英语里，如果用了 although 或 though ，就不能用 but ，但可以用 yet.

Although he is in poor health, he works hard.He is in poor health, but he works hard.虽然他身体不好，但是他工作努力。

2.Do you believe it’s Santa Claus who brings you gifts, Brian?

it’s Santa Claus who brings you gifts 是 believe 的宾语从句，这个宾语从句是以it 构成的强调句。强调句型： It is/was + （被强调部分）that/who + ( 其他成分 )It was last year that Lucy won the game.It was at this school that I studied three years ago.

3.We do have lots of fun.

do 在句中无实义，起强调作用，We do clean the classroom today.He does tell the truth to us.They did pass the exam last year.

Thank you!
