3、or why not?,Language points in the dialogue,How does this sound? 1. “这个听起来怎样？”一般来说这句话是个引子，好让对方注意自己接下来要说的话。人们有时也会说Listen作为开场白。 2. sound在这里是一个半系动词，后面接表语，如：It sounds great to me. 对表语提问的时候要用how。如：How are you feeling now? I feel better.,Sunny one-bedroom near transportation, centrally located 1. Sunny, 晴

Including utilities means

5、 that the cost of services such as water and electricity are included in the amount charged for the rent. 水电等设施的费用已包含在房租内了。 Does it say how much it is? 这个句型是第十单元的语法重点，叫做embedded questions，嵌入式问句。这个句子中，特殊疑问句how much is it被嵌在另一个疑问句does it say中。这个时候被嵌入的问句需要用陈述句形式表达出来，也就是说how much is it放在does it say后面应该变

6、为how much it is。,本课的两段对话中还出现了下列嵌入式疑问句： (In Dialogue A) (1) Does it say how much it is? (2) Do you have any idea where that is? (In Dialogue B) (3) Do you happen to know how often it runs during rush hour? (rush hour = peak hour高峰期) 学习一个常用句型：Do you know + 嵌入式疑问句。以上三句话可变成： (1) Do you know how much it

7、is? (2) Do you know where that is? (3) Do you know how often it runs during rush hour? I cant afford to pay that much. 1. to afford to do something 有经济能力去做某事 2. that much意思是such a large sum of money。,Maybe you should look for a roommate. 1. 给他人提建议，经常会用should，you should do something这样的结构，如果前面加上maybe听

Id rather do something, 宁愿做某事 Id = I would 表达自己的喜好；宁可不做某事 Id rather not do something。对话中用到would rather 的句子有： (In Dialogue A) - Maybe you sh

14、n be used or obtained 可用的，可以得到的；(2) free to be seen, talked to, etc. 有空的，可会见的，可与之交谈的。如：Im available in the afternoon. 我下午有空。 Could you tell me more about it? 用could you tell me来询问信息，口头交流和书面文中都很常见。用could不用can，很委婉的说法。tell somebody about something, 告诉某人某事。 sure回答请求，表示没问题。,The living rooms pretty large

15、about eighteen by twenty-three feet. 1. there be 句型表示“存在”，与have有区别。have表示拥有，归属。如：(1) There is a wood bridge over the river. 河面上有一座木桥。(2) I have a brother who works in Finland. 我有一个哥哥，在芬兰工作。There be中be动词根据后面名词的单复数而变化。 2.
