【Text】
Postcards always spoil my holidays. Last summer, I went to
參考譯文：
明信片總攪得我假日不得安寧. 去年夏天, 我去了意大利. 我參觀了博物館, 還去了公園. 一位好客的服務員教了我幾句意大利語, 之後還借給我一本書. 我讀了幾行, 但一個字也不懂. 我每天都想著明信片的事. 假期過得真快, 可我還沒有給我的朋友們寄過一張明信片. 到了最後一天, 我作出了一項重大決定. 我早早起了床, 買來了37張明信片. 我在房間裏關了整整一天. 然而竟連一張明信片也沒寫成!
【課文講解】
1、Last summer, I went to Italy.
last：
① adj. 上一個
last summer裏的last表示 “上一個”
② adj. 最後一個，表示“最後一個”時要加冠詞the
the last day 最後一天 （具體到一天及一天的早中晚都要用on）
2、A friendly waiter taught me a few words of Italian.
Italian[i5tAljEn]於Italy[5itEli] : 注意重讀音的位置不同
teach sb. sth. 教某人做某事
He teaches our English.(錯)
He teaches us English.(對)
語言不可數, 所以要用a little Italian或a few words of Italian
I can speak a little English/a few words of English.
a few可與複數可數名詞連用，表示肯定，含有some，a small number of（一些，少數幾個）的意思。
The police would like to ask him a few questions. 警察要問他一些問題。
3、Everyday I thought about postcards.
think about/of 考慮, 思考，指某一段時間一直在想/考慮某事, think of還可指想到
What do you think of?
What do you think of TV program last night?
What do you think of the weather today? 你覺得天氣怎麽樣?
think over 仔細考慮，反複思考
What’s the weather like today?
cold, chilly（非常非常冷）, freeze
I'll freeze.我要凍僵了
4、I spent the whole day in my room, but I did not write a single card!
spend與表示時間的詞或短語連和時，意思為“花（時間）”、“度過”
spend+時間+地點 : 在什麽地點我花費/度過了多少時間
I spend three hours in the sea.
I spend my weekend at my mother's.
I spend three hours in the classroom everyday.
I spend a lot of time in traffic
spend還可以表示“花錢”
If we spend all the money, we’ll be poor again.
I can’t spend any more on this car.
【Key structures】
一般過去時
一般過去時通常表示過去發生的而現在已經結束的事件、動作或情況。它通常指動作何時發生，而不指動作持續多久。
Do you ever catch a cold in the winter?
Yes, I caught a cold last winter.
【Special Difficulties】
直接賓語與間接賓語
雙賓語：直接賓語(表示動作結果，動作所涉及的事物)和間接賓語(動作目標，動作是誰做的或為誰做的，通常是人)。間接賓語大多數情況下置於直接賓語之前，如果間接賓語在後，間接賓主前必須加“to”（表示動作對什麽人做）或“for”（表示動作為什麽人而做）。
give sb. sth./give sth to sb
間接賓語在後麵時, 其前必須加to(對……而言)或for(為……而做)。可以翻譯為“給”、“替”、“為”的，就用for；如果隻能翻譯為“給”的, 就用to
與to相連的give, take, pass, read, sell, buy，pay，hand，bring，show，promise，offer，owe
take flowers to my wife.
與for相連的 buy, order, make, find
I buy a book for you .
make a cake for you
find sth. for sb.
do sb. a favor 幫某人一個忙
Do me a favor please./Do a favor for me? 幫我一個忙
I do something for you.
Can I order something for you?
Can I buy you a bottle of beer ? 意為我請你喝杯酒的意思
【Multiple choice questions】

who既可以對主語提問也可以對賓語提問, 而whom隻能對賓語提問
