- We had no sooner closed the door than someone knocked again.
读写提示
- 这课不要按“习语辨义题”来复述，重点是连续打断造成的混乱场景。
- 概括时要保留电话和门铃两次 interruption，否则层层加码的节奏就没了。
- 作者情绪变化可抓 busy, annoying, dismayed, mess 这条线。
- 生活故事类短文很适合积累厨房、电话、邮递员等日常场景词汇。
letter writing
- 书信写作
- pleased to do非常高兴的
- 在信的第一段里, 你应该提及你已经收到的一封信或促使你回信的某一事件

- 1 After putting the cake in the oven, I forgot all about it.

1Summary writing
- 摘要写作
- 1 Did the writer return home from the shops or not?What did she begin to make?(As soon as)
- 2 Did the telephone ring soon afterwards or not? Were her hugers very sticky or not?(When)
- 3 How long did she spend talking to Helen Bates on the telephone?
- 4 Did she look at the mess she had made or not?(After that)
- 5 What was covered with pastry?
- 6 Who rang the doorbell?(Just then)
- 7 What did he want her to do?
- 1 as soon as:时间状语从句引导词
- as soon as = when
- as soon as 强调这个动作一发生, 立即就发生了另一个动作
- when 不强调两个动作紧密相连
- 4 after 作介词, 后接名词或代词作宾语
- 作连词, 后接句子
- 文中 “that” 为代词, “after that” 仅为介词短语
- 补充P237 lesson 50 summary writing
- 1 Where did the writer want to go? Did he know the way or not? What did the conductor promise to do? (but as)
- 1 “but as” 并不是并列短语, 两者连在一起仅仅是巧合
- The writer wanted to go to Woodfast Green but as he did not know the way, the conductor promised to tell him where to get off.
- 第一句和第二句之间是 “but” 关系, 第二句和第三句之间为 “as” 关系, 所以产生 “but as”
