Understanding parts of speech
Knowing what part of speech a word is
( noun, verb, preposition, ect.) can help
you understand the word’s meaning.Dear Miss Li,
I'd like to thank you for giving money to
Animal Helpers. I’m sure you know that this
group was set up to help disabled people like
me. You helped to make it possible for me to
have Lucky. Lucky makes a big difference to
my life. Let me tell you my story.
What would it be like to be blind or deaf? Or
imagine you can’t walk or use your hands
easily. Most people would never think aboutthis, but many people have these difficulties. I
can’t use my arms or legs well, so normal
things like answering the telephone, opening
and closing doors, or carrying things are
difficult for me. Then one day last year, a
friend of mine helped me out. She talked to
Animal Helpers about getting me a special
trained dog. She also thought a dog might
cheer me up. I love animals and I was excited
about the idea of having a dog.After six months of training with a dog at
Animal Helpers, I was able to bring him home.
My dog’s name is Lucky — a good name for
him because I feel very lucky to have him. You
see, I’m only able to have a “dog helper”
because of your kindness! Lucky is very clever
and understands many English words. He can
understand me when I give him orders. For
example, I say, “Lucky! Get my book,” and he
does it at once.Lucky is a fantastic dog. I'll send you a photo
of him if you like, and I could show you how
he helps me. Thank you again for changing
my life.
Best wishes,
Ben Smith1. The writer can’t use his arms or legs well.
2. Lucky was brought to the writer by his
friend.
3. They have been trained at “Animal Helpers”
for seven months.
4. A dog-helper is for those who are disabled.
5. Lucky can understand different instructions.

__________Language points
1. I’ve run out of it.
run out of = use up “用完”、“卖光”。句子的
主语是人或使用的物。注意不能用于被动语态。
e.g. I am running out of my money.=
My money is running out of.
We are running out of the gas. =
Our car is running out of the gas.2. I take after my father.
take after 意为“在外貌、性格等方面与
(父母)相像”。
与take after意思相近的词组还有look like
(看去像……)、be like (像……一样)。
3. I fixed it up.
fix up = repair (修理); fasten (安装)
4. I give it away.
give away 意为“赠送”。5. I’d like to thank you for sending money to
“Animal Helpers” , an organization set up
to
help disabled people.
(1) “Animal Helpers” 动物助手, 一个帮助残
疾人而建立的组织。
(2) thank sb. for… 为……而感谢某人
e.g. Thank you for your flowers to me.
(3) set up 引导的是一个省去关系代词that的
定语从句。
e.g. Thomas has a lab set up himself.6. You helped to make it possible for me to have
Lucky.
it在句中作make的形式宾语,真正的宾语是后面
的动词不定式to have Lucky。如:
我发现学好英语对我们来说很有必要。
I find it necessary for us to learn English well. 【超链接】it还可用作形式主语,而把真正的
主语置于句尾。如:
看太多的电视对你的眼睛有害。
It’s bad for your eyes to watch too much TV.
见到你真高兴。
It is so nice to see you.7. I was excited about the idea of having a dog.
be excited about意为“对……感到兴奋”,主语
通常是人 ;而exciting意为“令人感到兴奋的”,
主语通常是物或事件。其他类似的词surprising
/ surprised; interesting / interested等也是这样
区分的。如:
他对这本有趣的书很感兴趣。
He is very interested in this interesting book. 8. You see, I’m only able to have a “dog-helper”
because of your kindness!
(1)此句中的be able to 意为“能够做……的事”,
可用can替换,主语为物时一般都使用can,
can没有将来时和完成时, 也不能用于其他
助动词后面,所以常用be able to do 来替换。
(2) because of 是介词短语, 表原因, 后面接名
词或代词宾语。because 是连词, 后常接从句。 9. Then one day last year, a friend of mine
said that she would like to help me out.
help out 意为 “使某人脱离困境”可分开
使用。
当我失业的时候没有人帮助我。
Nobody helped me out when I lost my job.
这有点出乎意料但我想如果价格合适的话我可
以帮忙一下。
It was unexpected but I could help out if the
price was right, I thought. 1. I didn’t finish writing my math test
because I ___ ___ ___ (用完了) the time.

D开灯的故事
有一个盲人住在一栋楼里。每天晚上他
都会到楼下花园去散步。奇怪的是,不论是
上楼还是下楼,他虽然只能顺着墙摸索,却
一定要按亮楼道里的灯。一天,一个邻居忍
不住,好奇地问道:“你的眼睛看不见,为
何还要开灯呢?”。盲人回答道:“开灯能
给别人上下楼带来方便,也会给我带来方便。
”邻居疑惑地问道:“开灯能给你带来什么
方便呢?”。盲人答道:“开灯后,上下楼
的人都会看见东西,就不会把我撞倒了,这
不就给我方便了吗。”邻居这才恍然大悟。 很多时候,
帮助别人就是帮助自己。
你在帮助别人的时候,
你的收获也许会远远大于你的付出。
The rose’s in her hand, the flavor in
mine.
赠人玫瑰,手有余香。Homework
