    【Text】
    A woman in jeans stood at the window of an expensive shop. Though she hesitated for a moment, she finally went in and asked to see a dress that was in the window. The assistant who served her did not like the way she was dressed. Glancing at her scornfully, he told her that the dress was sold. The woman walked out of the shop angrily and decided to punish the assistant next day. She returned to the shop the following morning dressed in a fur coat, with a handbag in one hand and a long umbrella in the other. After seeking out the rude assistant, she asked for the same dress. Not realizing who she was, the assistant was eager to serve her this time. With great difficulty, he climbed into the shop window to get the dress. As soon as she saw it, the woman said she did not like it. She enjoyed herself making the assistant bring almost everything in the window before finally buying the dress she had first asked for.

    a woman in jeans 一個(gè)穿牛仔褲的婦女

    for a moment不一定要與現(xiàn)在完成時(shí)連用, 也可以是一般現(xiàn)在時(shí), 只要這個(gè)動(dòng)詞是延續(xù)性動(dòng)詞就可以 ask to do sth. 請(qǐng)求做某事

    dress sb. 給某人穿衣服

     Not/Without/Never hesitating for a moment, he ran after the thief.
     Not being able to open the door, I asked my neighbour for help.
    tell sb. not to do sth. 告訴某人不要做某事

    【Summary writing】
    1 Did the woman in jeans hesitate for a moment or not? Did she enter an expensive shop or not? What did she ask to see? (Though ... and)
    2 What did an assistant tell her? When did the woman return? Was she dressed in a fur coat or not? (On being told by)
    3 What was the assistant eager to do this time?
    4 What did she make him bring her? What did the woman finally buy? (After making) 1、Though the woman in jeans hesitated for a moment,she entered an expensive shop and asked for/to see the dress in the shop window.
    第一步寫單句, though后面要加一個(gè)從句, 第一個(gè)句子和第二個(gè)都做主句并列, 則though 后面還有第三個(gè)從句, though后面有從句是第一個(gè)和第二個(gè)并列, 但還有個(gè)主句
    2、On being told by an assistant that the dress was sold,
    ① The woman returned the following morning dressed in a fur coat.
    ② When the woman returned ,she was dressed in a fur coat. / the woman returned , when she was dressed in a fur coat.
    by +主動(dòng)語態(tài)中的主語
    前后兩句的強(qiáng)調(diào)點(diǎn)不同, 本句中應(yīng)強(qiáng)調(diào) “return” , 故后面一句更好, 這屬于tiny mistake(微小的錯(cuò)誤), 當(dāng)然第一句好, 另外應(yīng)注意句子的平衡, 也應(yīng)將 “when” 放后面
    4、After making the assistant bring…, the women finally bought the dress she had...... The woman finally bought what she had first asked for. 也對(duì)!
    【Letter writing】
    在信的開頭常的下面兩個(gè)句型:
    What a surprise it was to …
    What a surprise it was to send me flowers.
    在to do sth. 的結(jié)構(gòu)當(dāng)中,可以在前面表達(dá)動(dòng)作由誰做, 加一個(gè)“for sb.”
    It is important for me to do sth. (“for” 一定要加在 “to” 的前面)
    What a surprise it was for you to send me flowers.
    Forgive me for not writing earlier, but … 我很抱歉我這么久沒給你寫信
    I apologize. / I do apologize. 我真的很抱歉!(do 其強(qiáng)調(diào)作用)
    You apology is accepted.
    【Key structures】 
    At, In, Off and With
    在表示地點(diǎn)和位置時(shí),說話人的個(gè)人角度會(huì)影響對(duì)介詞的選擇。at通常用于表示居住地點(diǎn)和某個(gè)停留地點(diǎn)、工作地點(diǎn)等,而in表示里面或包圍的含義:
    I'll see you at the station. 我將到車站送你.
    On the way home, we stopped at a small village called Puddleton.
    There were a lot of people in the street. 街上有許多人.
    Let's go for a walk in the park. 讓我們到公園去散散步.
    off常與動(dòng)詞連用,表示位置的變化,即“與……分離”,可譯為“脫掉,脫落”(相當(dāng)于away from或down from的意思)等,其反義詞為on:
    The lid came off easily. 這個(gè)蓋子很容易掉.
    The pencil rolled off the table. 鉛筆滾到桌子下面去了.
    描寫人時(shí),in通常用于表示穿著,后面加衣服或顏色,with則表示身上的某個(gè)具體特征或隨身帶著、拿著什么:
    He looks handsome in that uniform.
    That man with long hair is supposed to be a poet. 那個(gè)留著長(zhǎng)發(fā)的男人應(yīng)該是個(gè)詩(shī)人.
    The police are looking for a man with a scar on his face.
    The woman with the brown handbag and long umbrella is a famous novelist.
    A child came along with a brown dog.
    【Special Difficulties】
    Make and Let
    make和let后面都跟不帶to的不定式,但意義上和用法上有區(qū)別:
    make+名詞/代詞+不帶to的不定式,表示“迫使,致使”:
    She enjoyed herself making the assistant bring almost everything in the window.
     What made him change his mind?
     That beard makes you look much older than you really are.
    在被動(dòng)語態(tài)中含有上述意義的make后面必須帶to:
     He was made to work fourteen hours a day.
     He was made to change his mind.
    let用于祈使句,建議包括說話者在內(nèi)的人采取某一行動(dòng):
     Let’s not waste any more time.
    其否定形式除“Let’s not…”外也可以用“Don’t let’s…”:
     Don’t let’s waste any more time.
    let+名詞/代詞+不帶to的不定式,表示“允許”:
    Don't let him persuade you. 不要讓他把你說服了.
    Let me try. 讓我試一拭.
    Don't let the children touch anything in this room please.
    如果賓語是us,則不能縮寫成let’s:
     Please let us have more time, will you?
    let后面可以跟一個(gè)被動(dòng)的、不帶to的不定式:
     He let it be known that the house was his.
    但let一般不用于被動(dòng)意義來表示“被允許”,這時(shí)可用allow。
     We were not allowed to speak.
