1.Doyouhopethat2019willbetheyearinwhichyoucanachievehigherscores,eathealthier,goto

bedearlier,orsimplydelveintootherself-Improvements?

【小词魅力赏析】小词：which魅力：构成定语从句高级表达

本句含有inwhich引导的定语从句“inwhichyoucanachievehigherscores,eathealthier,gotobed

earlier,orsimplydelveintootherself-Improvements”修饰先行词theyear.

3).首先，一个惊人的新体育场已经建成，它已经成为我们学校的新地标。(which)

【小词魅力赏析】小词：however魅力：作文写作中很好的转折关系过渡词：however：然而

【仿写】

要帮助的人。(however)

【however用法拓展】

表示让步，意为“无论如何”“不管怎样”，用来修饰形容词或副词，其词序为：however+形容词

或副词+主语+谓语。这样用的however其实具有连词的功能，用以引导一个让步状语从句。如：

Howevercolditis,healwaysgoesswimming.不管天有多冷，他都去游泳。

Howeverfaritis,Iintendtodrivetheretonight.不管有多远，我今晚也要开车到那儿去。

样告诉她这个坏消息才好。
