WritingWriting
Write a letter of advice to Liu Xiaowei.
Use the skills you have learnt in Steps 1
and 2.
Example:Dear Xiaowei:
Many teenagers have difficulty getting
along with their parents. This is a common
problem. However, be patient with him.
You say that he does not listen to you. Is
this why you do not listen to him? Of
course, your father will be angry when this
happens! It’s only natural. You must listen to your father— he loves you and wants the best for you. You should talk with your parents in order to explain how you feel, but you should give them a chance to speak first. It could be that your father doesn’t listen to you because he doesn’t think that you are listening to him.
It is true that you need time to be by
yourself. However, part of being an adult
is doing things that you do not always
want to do. You should make an effort to
do what your parents ask. It will not hurt
you. And of course, you must do your
homework! Your studies are important to
your future.
Both being a teenager and being a parent
can be very difficult. However, don’t
give up. with a little bit of patience and
communication, many of these problems
can be solved.
Best regards
Dr Fang

短语 , insist on + n. / v-ing/
e.g. He insists on a definite answer.
They insist on/ upon my staying at home.
② 作及物动词,接从句作宾语。• insist 表示“坚持要求,一定要”时,从句常用与现在现实相反的虚拟语气,谓语动词用 should + 动词原形 , should 可省略。e.g. He insists that she (should) learn
music after she leaves school.
• insist 表示“坚持说,坚持认为”时,用陈述语气。
e.g. Alice insists that she had done nothing
wrong.
• insist that… 有时能和 insist on/upon 互换e.g. Alice insists on her having done
nothing wrong.
3. Whenever I want to do something or
suggest an idea… (P37)
suggest vt. 表示“暗示,表明,使联想起” 时后面可跟名词或从句。e.g. The smile on his face suggests that he is
pleased with my answer.

ng 形式或由疑问词 how / where / what
等引导的从句作宾语。e.g. He suggests taking a walk by the ri
ver.
Can you suggest how we might solv
e he problem?
• suggest 后还可以接 that 从句,从句中的谓语动词要用虚拟式,即 (should) +
动词原形。e.g. He suggested we (should) give the
answers to the students after they
think for a while.
4. Then, whenever I have some spare tim
e and want to be alone, they call me sel
fish and distant! (P38)

难句分析1. At the moment, he refuses to do almost
everything his mother and I ask him to do.
(P35) 现在,他几乎拒绝做所有我和他母亲让他做的事情。[ 分析 ] 这是一个主从复合句。主句为 he
refuses to do almost everything 。 his mot
her and I ask him to do 是定语从句,
修饰 everything ;由于先行词 everythin
g 在定语从句中作 do 的宾语,所以省略了关系代词 that 。e.g. She kept a record of everything (tha
t) she had seen and heard in Australia.
她把在澳大利亚的所见所闻都记录了下来。
2. At present, to prevent upsetting his
mother with an argument, I am allowin
g him his freedom.(P35)
现在,为了不让争吵惹他母亲烦心,我给了他自由。
[ 分析 ] 这是一个简单句。不定式短语to prevent upsetting his mother with an a
rgument 表示目的。e.g. To make the city green, they plant m
any trees every year.
为了绿化城市,他们每年都栽许多树。
3. Whenever I want to do something or
suggest an idea, such as a restaurant we
can go to for dinner, he doesn’t listen to
me. (P37)
每当我想做什么事,或是提出一个建议,比如我们到某家餐馆吃饭什么的,他总是不听我的。
[ 分析 ] 这是一个主从复合句。主句是 he doesn’t listen to me 。 whene
ver I want to do something or suggest an
idea 是时间状语从句; we can go to for
dinner 是定语从句,修饰先行词 restau
rant 。
e.g. Whenever you meet with difficulties,
you may call me on the number I
gave you.
无论什么时候遇到困难,你都可以打 我给你的这个号码。
