1. Visit sick children in the hospital.
1) sick和ill两个形容词都有“生病的”意思，在用法上有一些相同的地方，有时可以互换，但仍有许多不同之处。两者最大的区别在于当ill作“生病的”之意解时，多与系动词be, feel, become, fall, get, be taken等搭配，用作表语，较少用在名词前面作定语。
e.g. Dave was so ill that he had to stay in bed for a month at least. 戴夫病的厉害，至少需要卧床一个月。
当用在名词前作定语表达“生病的”意思时，人们更多使用sick。 e.g. Diana spent months looking after her sick mother. 戴安娜花数月照顾她生病的母亲。
2) 此处in the hospital意为 “住院”，是美语用法。在英国，人们则多说in hospital。与之相类似的还有: go to the hospital和go to hospital。 2. They told me stories about the past and how things used to be.
used to多用于两种情况的表述。其一，表示过去一度存在但现在已经消逝的某一特定的情形。此句便是如此。这一用法下，used to常与be, have, live, stay, like, love等词连用，表示“曾经”。 e.g. I used to live in London. 我曾经住在伦敦。
其二，used to还可用来表示“过去常常”做的某件事或某种行为。 e.g. We’re eating out more often than we used to.
我们最近外出吃饭的次数比以前要高出许多。
used to的否定结构多为didn’t use to。人们也说used not to, 我们也可用never来强调否定used to。
e.g. They never used to ask where I’d been. 他们过去对我去了哪里从不过问。 在问句中，人们习惯用did…use to结构。 e.g. Did you use to study in this building? 你过去就曾在这栋楼里学习吗？ 3. Yeah, a lot of old people are lonely.
lonely adj. 孤独的；寂寞的指精神上感觉孤独、寂寞。 e.g. The old man feels lonely, so he raises a dog. 那名老人觉得很孤独，因此他养了一只狗。
4. We need to come up with a plan for the City Park Clean-up Day.
need 用作实义动词，有“必要”、“必需”之意，有人称、数和时态的变化，可以接名词、代词、动名词或带to的动词不定式作宾语。 e.g. The man needs an English dictionary when he works. 这个人在工作时需要一本英语词典。 Do you need to see him yourself? 你必需亲自见他吗？
clean up意为“打扫；清理”。但如果在clean和up间加个连字符号, 它就是名词了, 意为“扫除”。
e.g. You must give your classroom a good clean-up.你必须对教室进行彻底地打扫。
come up with 提出（观点，看法）。
e.g. He has come up with a great idea. 他想出了一个绝好的办法。
I came up with a better plan than that. 我提供了一个比那还好的计划。 Step 10 Exercises
