留个作业“secondary school、middle school、high school”各当什么讲?仔细查查给小伙伴们讲讲。
哈利的这句话,你有没有像达力一样得想想才明白?写出来你的理解。
The poor toilet’s never had anything as horrible as your head down it – it might be sick.
- 翻译一下达力的这套装束,积累其中的小词。(参见“其他词汇”的第2条)
Smeltings boys wore maroon tailcoats, orange knickerbockers and flat straw hats called boaters. They also carried knobbly sticks, used for hitting each other while the teachers weren’t looking. This was supposed to be good training for later life.
- 这段让人捧腹的话还是挺值得积累的,以你喜欢的方式掌握它。
As he looked at Dudley in his new knickerbockers, Uncle Vernon said gruffly that it was the proudest moment of his life. Aunt Petunia burst into tears and said she couldn’t believe it was her Ickle Dudleykins, he looked so handsome and grown-up. Harry didn’t trust himself to speak. He thought two of his ribs might already have cracked from trying not to laugh.
gruff参见“重点词汇”第6条,“crack”又是流利说的词,讲看牙话题的那课,可能还是lv4吧,太久远了记不清。
“其他词汇”第四条提到的关于佩妮姨妈的lips~大家描述一下自己的理解,喜欢画画的小伙伴试着画出来。
复习一下上面要求大家回顾的各种盯着看或者眼神,以及各种“抖”。
(大家每天打卡时除了上传作业,记得提交积累的词汇,我总结的和大家自己积累的,肯定效果是不一样的,好脑子不如烂笔头,快去戳烂你的笔头)
