Which letter do you agree with? Why? 2. What would you say to the person who wrote the letter you don’t agree with? 1. It is the parents’ job to provide a clean and comfortable environment at home for their children. 此处代词it仅为形式上的主语, 真正的主语是to provide … for their children。我们也可将It is one’s job (duty, …) to do something.视为一个固定的句型, 表示“做某事是某人的工作(职责等)”。如: provide 作动词，意为“ 提供；供应”。 provide sb. with sth.或provide sth. for sb.意为“为某人提供某物”。如： It’s every teacher’s job to explain things clearly to the students. 把东西给学生讲明白是每一位老师应做的事情。 The movie theater provides us with good service. 电影院为我们提供了良好的服务。 His school provided a house for him. 他的学校为他提供了一所房子。 汉译英。他们提供给他钱和衣服。 They provided him with money and clothes. They provided money and clothes for him. 2. And anyway, I think doing chores is not so difficult. anyway是一个副词, 若位于句首, 其后往往会有逗号将其与句子的其他内容隔开。anyway在此句中的作用是追加评论, 相当于汉语的“反正; 仍然; 依然”。如: Sam didn’t get the job, but he’s not unhappy because it didn’t pay well anyway. 萨姆没有得到那份工作, 但他并没有闷闷不乐, 反正薪酬也不算高。 anyway还可用来表示“不管怎样; 无论如何”之意。例如: It’s just a cold. But anyway, you should still see the doctor. 这只不过是感冒, 但不管怎样, 你还是应该看看医生。 3. …he often fell ill and his grades dropped. ill sick ◆相同点 ill 与sick 都可以表示“生病的”，都可作表语。如：Alice was ill / sick yesterday. ◆不同点 表示“生病”时，sick 可作定语，但ill 通常不作定语。如：Could you help the sick girl? 【运用】根据句意，用ill或sick填空。 (1) The driver sent the _____ baby to the hospital. (2) My brother is ________. I have to look after him at home. ill / sick sick 4. The earlier kids learn to be independent, the better it is for their future. “the+比较级+……, the+比较级+……”是英语中一个常用的句型结构, 表示“越……, 就越……”。如: The more he explained, the better we understood.
