四、寫作訓練。

請根據(jù)所學內(nèi)容以及你自己對英語的了解，舉例說明美式英語和英式英語的不同點(不少于三點）。參考詞匯：發(fā)音pronounce

題型分析：本次寫作是表述美式英語和英式英語的幾個不同點，故可使用一般現(xiàn)在時。

行文思路：由題目要求可知，我們可從美式英語和英式英語的發(fā)音(pronunciation)、拼寫(spelling)和表達(expression) 三個方面入手來表述兩者的不同。

高分點撥:表達時可以使用There are differences between... and…句子結(jié)構(gòu)，使用連詞while,but等連接美式英語和英式英語在發(fā)音、拼寫和表達時的不同，以突出二者的對比。注意重點在于舉例。

佳作展示：

 When you learn a foreign language, one of the most difficult parts of learning it is being able to understand and use a lot of idioms(成語).3and native speakers often use them without realizing(意識到)it themselves. This may bring much trouble when making communications with native speakers.

4            An idiom is a group of words. When it is used together, it has a different meaning from the one which the single word has. For example：

—How do you know that Sid and Nancy fall in love?

―I heard it on the grapevine (葡萄藤).

  Of course, the second speaker does not mean he heard the news by putting his ear to a grapevine！He wants to express the information spreading around a widespread Internet, like a grapevine.

  5            One of the best ways to learn an idiom is by looking at the context in which it is used. This can be done by setting your mind on the rest of the sentence and try to guess the meaning. Many idioms are not difficult to understand when thinking about them in their context.

根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，完成下列任務(wù)。任務(wù)一：

根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，回答下列問題。

1. What's the Chinese meaning of the sentence "I heard it on the grapevine"？

2. What's the best way to understand an English idiom?

任務(wù)二：

將下面三句話填入文中空白處，使短文內(nèi)容完整、通順。

A.   What is an idiom?

B.   But how can we understand an idiom exactly?

C.   The English language has over 15 ，000 idioms，

 A student is studying British English. He wants to know 1he can have a talk with Americans，and whether they can understand him. Learners of English often ask what the 2 between British English and American English are, and how important they are.

  First, there are a few differences in grammar. 3  ，speakers of British English say

Have you got a pen? While speakers of American English say Do you have a 4？ instead. Second, pronunciation is5 different. Americans usually sound the/r/ in words like "car" and "farm". Some 6 of British English don't sound the /r/ in these words. There are also some differences in 7 and vocabulary(詞匯).For example, "colour" and " favourite”are British English spellings，8 " color”and " favorite”are American English spellings.

  However，these differences in grammar， pronunciation, spelling and vocabulary are not very 9 . For the most part,British English and American English are the 10language. No matter you speak British English or American English, you can make yourself well understood.
