Tips: (小知识)
Two effective ways of learning lexical chunks
a. Learn them deep into their functional meaning; b. Classify them into different functional families. 同学们好！
在我们学习英语单词和词组时，一定要勤查英语词典，真正体会领悟他们的内涵意义；特别注意积累英语的同义、近义词表达法。同时，可别忘记还要关注这些英语单词或词组所能匹配的汉语同义或近义词哟。
例如：have trouble in一般都翻译成“在…方面有麻烦”。但事实上，汉语中表达类似意思的更加符
合我们母语习惯的说法多着呢，例如：“做某事挺难”、“很难做某事”、“无法做到”、“搞不清弄不明”、“做某事费劲”、“做某事不顺利”、“不适应做某事”等等。这样的话，你就能脱口用英语

说出你要表达的意思，写文章时也就“下笔如有神”了。
英语中表达上述汉语意思的词和词组可丰富了！大家还记得Wei Hua吗？在英国读高中的一年里她经历了种种的不适应。你们还记得在这个单元出现的 “be challenging”、“be a great challenge”、“struggle to do”、“It is a struggle for sb. to do”以及后来的“suffer a lot doing sth.”, “have difficulty in”, “have a hard time doing sth.”吗？哈哈，把他们放在一起，岂不是构成了表达“困难”语义的英语大家族了吗？以后，当想到difficulty，有了这些表达方法，你们的写作和表达是不是很“高大上”呀？
有了这个思路，你是不是想跃跃欲试了？Jerry老师抛砖引玉先来一个：
Jerry老师有个叫Tom的美国朋友，Tom老师的中文不好，老是分不清楚“Jerry长着一张瓜子脸”还是“Jerry长着一张爪子脸”。 我们可以说：
Stupid Tom has great trouble distinguishing between “瓜” and “爪”. Stupid Tom suffered a lot trying to distinguish between “瓜” and “爪”.
It is very challenging for stupid Tom to distinguish between “瓜” and “爪”.
… Task 2:
Make five sentences using “have trouble in”、“suffer from” or other phrases belonging to “困难” family. Sentences about history, arts or science are particularly preferred.
e.g. When Einstein discovered The Theory of Relativity, he had a hard time getting it across to other physicists. 该你了：
________________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________ Task 3: Find in the Reading passage a sentence to match the following meanings. An example is as follows:
Open a present when someone gives you one.
原文：It’s rude not to open a present when someone gives you one. We think it’s strange not to open it!
1. Men and women sit in separate areas at wedding receptions in Brunei.
原文: ____________________________________________________________________________________ 2. Don’t serve alcohol at the wedding reception in Brunei.
原文:______________________________________________________________________________________ 3. Play loud drums to celebrate the wedding throughout the night.
原文:______________________________________________________________________________________ 4. Don’t point with the first finger in Brunei.
原文:______________________________________________________________________________________ 5. Take off your shoes before going into someone’s house in Brunei.
原文: _____________________________________________________________________________________ 6. Have Bonfire Night in the UK.
原文:______________________________________________________________________________________ 7. Don’t have Bonfire Night in America.
原文:______________________________________________________________________________________ Think： What can you conclude from the above sentences?
