1.What does Robinson Crusoe wait for?
2.2. Why does Robinson Crusoe call the
man Friday?When I first arrived on this island, I had
nothing. But I’ve found the ship and made a
small boat. I’ve brought back many things I
can use —— food and drink, tools, knives and
guns. Although I have lost everything, I have
not lost my life. So I will not give up and I will
wait for another ship. I have already cut down
trees and built a house. I go out with my gunalmost every day to kill animals and birds for
food. I’m even learning to grow fruit and
vegetables.
A few weeks ago, I found the marks of another
man’s feet on the sand. Who else is on my
island? How long have they been here? Not
long after that, I saw some cannibals trying to
kill two men from a broken ship. One of them
died but the other ran towards my house. I helped him kill the
cannibals. This man
now lives with me and
helps me. I named
him Friday because
that was the day I met
him. He is smart and I
have already taught
him some English.Then answer the questions.

A:It’s already very late. You should get
some rest. 已经很晚 了,你应该休息 了。

对,我是知道的。谢谢。注意,当我们获知对方提供的信息后,常

A:He lives in the countryside but works in
the city during the week.
他住在乡下,但工作日在城里上班。
