My Teacher
I haven’t seen Mr Jenkins since I left school,but I often think about him. [1] I wasn’t very good at most school subjects before I met Mr Jenkins. I suppose I was a bit lazy,especially in maths. The only thing I can remember from school maths is that the angles ① of a triangle ② add up to③ 180 degrees![2] But when I was 15 and went into Mr Jenkins’ class, I really became interested in a subject for the first time.④
[1]本句为but连接的并列句。第一个并列分句中包含一个since引导的时间状语从句。since引导时间状语从句时,其对应的主句常用现在完成时。
[2]本句为主从复合句,其中I can remember from school maths为省略了关系代词that的定语从句(先行词被the only修饰,关系代词宜用that);that the angles...degrees 为that引导的表语从句。
