2. Listen and read the dialogue in pairs.

Answers: exercise, climb, needs, keep, fit, enjoy, small, one

Step 5  Language points

1. Well,this hill isn’t as high as a real one!

as high as 与……一样高

as… as 用于同级比较,中间用形容词或副词的原形,否定句中可以用not so… as,且否定句可以转换成比较级。如：

You are as tall as your sister.你和你姐姐一样高。

You are not so tall as your sister.你不如你姐姐高。

=You are shorter than your sister. / Your sister is taller than you.

(1)英语和语文一样有趣。

English is as interesting as Chinese.

(2)咖啡不像牛奶那么健康。

Coffee isn’t as /so healthy as milk.

Milk is healthier than coffee.

2. Let’s enjoy ourselves!

enjoy与反身代词oneself 构成固定搭配，所表示的意义与have a good/great/ wonderful time意义相近，都表示“玩得高兴，过得愉快”。 练习一下：

Lucy and Lily enjoyed themselves (they) at the English party the day before yesterday.

我们昨晚在尼克的生日派对上玩得很高兴。

We enjoyed ourselves at Nick’s birthday party last night. 

大多数人喜欢晴朗的日子，因为他们可以到户外游玩。

Most people prefer sunny days because they can enjoy themselves outside.

3. Yesterday I took a boat trip under the famous Harbour Bridge and went past the Sydney Opera House.

go past 经过，past 是介词，常与go, walk, drive, run 等动词连用。如：

He just walked past me a few minutes ago. 几分钟前他刚从我身边走过。

He ran past the finishing line first. 他第一个跑过了终点线。

The crowd cheer as the hero drives past.

英雄驱车经过时, 人群发出了欢呼声。

4. It’s 90 feet wide.

英语中表示“长、宽、高”分别使用形容词long, wide, tall / high；所用句型是：Sth. / Sb. + be + 数字 + long/wide/tall / high. 如：

The street is more than sixty metres wide.

这条大街有60多米宽。

I think that river is about 6,000 metres long.

我认为那条河大约有6 000米长。

5. The bridge is made of steel, isn’t it?

be made of 和 be made from都表示“由……制成”，主语为制成品，但前者表示制成成品后，仍可看出原材料是什么；后者表示制成的东西完全失去了原材料的外形或特征，在成品中已无法辨认。

The kite is made of paper. 风筝是用纸做的。

The paper is made from wood. 纸是木头做的。
