语法点

比较级与最高级的核心对比

本课同时出现 the most beautiful、larger than、harder than、more interesting、the worst，正好把比较级和最高级放在同一篇里练熟。

相似句：
  • This road is longer than that one.
  • She is the most careful student in the class.

Joe's = Joe's garden

Bill Frith's garden is larger than Joe's 中 Joe's 后面省略了 garden，这是英语里避免重复的常见表达。

相似句：
  • My room is smaller than my brother's.
  • Her handwriting is better than mine.

enter 与 enter for 的区别

enter a building 表示“进入某地”；enter for a competition 表示“报名参加比赛/考试”，本课用的是后者。

相似句：
  • He entered the room quietly.
  • She entered for the singing contest last week.

现在完成时突出“已经布置好的结果”

He has made neat paths and has built a wooden bridge 说明这些设计已经完成，而且现在仍然看得见、起作用。

相似句：
  • They have planted many trees in the yard.
  • He has painted the door green.

读写提示

  • 比较类复述不要只堆形容词，要先说“比较标准是什么”，比如 size, hard work, interest。
  • 这课最妙的不是 Joe 赢，而是作者最后的自嘲，复述别只讲前半段。
  • 最高级后面常带 in / of 短语，范围不要漏。
  • 写 garden 这类描写时，可以多保留 concrete details，如 paths, bridge, pool。
