Mary: I have got three tickets for Harry Potter. Here are two tickets for you, John and Rose. John: Thank you. I am glad to have got a ticket for it. It is an interesting film. I want to see it again. Rose: It is such an interesting film. I really want to see it again. I am so glad to have got a ticket for it. Thank you, Mary. Compare what John said with what Rose said, and tell why Rose use such, really, so. The adjective such is used to emphasize an interesting film, While the adverbs really and so are respectively used to emphasize the verb want and the adjective glad. Rose used them to express her strong feeling about the film --- how anxious she wanted to see Harry Potter again. Look at the following and see how they are emphasized. Everyone was so excited about her speech. It was such an interesting television show. I really want to see it again. Actually, the festival in Venice doesn’t just feature Hollywood films. Notes: We can use certain words such as so, such, really and just to show emphasis. Notes: If we want to emphasize the affirmative verb of a sentence with a simple present or simple past tense, we add the auxiliary do, does or did before the verb. 1. 我的确相信他是老实人。 I do believe that he is an honest man. 2. 她确实喜欢文学。 She does like literature. 3. 他们昨天的确去看过你，但没见到你。 They did go to see you yesterday, but failed to meet you. 4. 你到那儿后务必给我来信。 Do write to me when you get there． 5. 这个新来的交流生非常希望和我们一 起参加今晚的晚会。 The new exchange student does hope to go to the evening party with us. When the subject we emphasize is a pronoun, we usually use its object form. e.g. It was me who represented the Toronto International Film Festival last year. It was she (her) who told the police. It was you who we were talking about. 6. It was in Qingdao ______ I saw the sea for the first time. A. what B. that C. when
