conversation with your partner.

3b Pairwork
• two people looking
through books in a
bookstore
•
two people alone in
an elevator
Some people waiting
in line to buy ice
cream
two people
waiting to cross
a street
Explanation
1. look through 本意为“仔细研
读”“温习”。这里引申为“翻阅、查阅或
浏览”的意思。
Look through your note before exam.

2. alone 意为“单独、独自”相当于(all) by
oneself。常用于 be alone /do sth alone, 不能
作定语
如：
We’re alone on this island.
(We're all by ourselves on this island.)
这个岛上就我们这些人。
She always goes home alone.
(She always goes home by herself).
她总是一个人回家。
辨析：alone/lonely
lonely为形容词，意为“孤独的, 荒凉
的”可用作定语和表语，而alone既可以
用作形容词也可以作副词用，表示客观上
无人陪伴。但形容词用时只可用作表语。
如：
3. cross
Be careful when you cross the road.
过马路时要当心。
【拓展】 across也有“越过; 横过”的意思,
但across为介词。cross 相当于“v.＋across”。
如: go across the bridge =cross the bridge
Here are some possible
opening questions:
•
Their prices are really low,
• aren’t they?
•
This line is slow, isn’t it?
•
Nice day, isn’t it?
