动词的ing形式
I 作主语
v-ing形式作主语,相当于一个名词, 多指抽象、概念性的动作,经常性或习惯性的行为。

⑴ Talking is easier than doing.
⑵ Learning new words is very important for me.
⑶ Reading aloud is a good way in learning a language.
⑷ Playing with fire is dangerous.

⑴ It's worth making the effort.
⑵ It is pleasant working with you.
⑶ It's no use crying over split milk.
⑷ It was a waste of time reading
常用句型有:
It + be + a waste of time doing...做……是浪费时间的。

It is/was worth/worthwhile doing...做……是值得的。
It is/was hardly/scarcely worth doing...做……是不值得的。
