分析结构 这是一个主从复合句,主句是Some students say,that it is hard to write about themselves 是由that 引导的宾语从句,其中it 是形式主语,真正的主语是to write about themselves。

It’s + adj. + to do sth. 是一种常用结构,意为“做某事是……”,在这种句型中,it 只是形式主语,真正的主语是后面的动词不定式。因为动词不定式结构稍长,放在句首会让句子显得头重脚轻,故使用形式主语it,而把动词不定式后移。
It’s + adj. + for sb. + to do sth. 对某人来说,做某事是……
It’s + adj. + of sb. + to do sth. 某人做某事是……
e.g. It’s hard to finish the work in such a short time.
