动词,意为 “记得;记住”,搭配:
remember to do sth.(记得去做某事,未做)
remember doing sth.(记得做过某事,已做)
例:Remember to close the door.(记得去关门);I remember meeting her.(我记得见过她)
plant
动词,意为 “种植;栽种”;也可作名词(“植物”)

Task 2【深入探究】
一、重要句型梳理(课文原句 + 用法)
Long noodles are a symbol of long life.
课文原句(Yu Xiaoming 的帖子)
用法:“a symbol of...” 表示 “…… 的象征”,用于介绍事物的文化寓意。
仿写:Red lanterns are a symbol of good luck.
I like taking photos because they help me remember fun times with my family.
课文原句(Yu Xiaoming 的帖子)
用法:“because” 引导原因状语从句,说明喜欢某事的理由。
仿写:I like reading because it makes me smart.
It’s a great idea to plant a small tree for my 14th birthday.
课文原句(Yu Xiaoming 的帖子)
用法:“It’s + 形容词 / 名词 + to do sth.” 表示 “做某事是…… 的”,it 作形式主语。
仿写:It’s important to learn English well.
Everyone sings the “Happy Birthday” song, and then I make a wish and blow out the candles.
课文原句(Judy 的帖子)
用法:“and then” 连接多个连续动作,描述生日流程。
仿写:I get up, and then I brush my teeth and wash my face.
It’s fun to look at the marks later.
课文原句(Judy 的帖子)
用法:“It’s fun to do sth.” 表示 “做某事很有趣”,fun 是不可数名词。
仿写:It’s fun to play games with friends.
二、单词用法拓展
because 引导原因状语从句
用法:because 后接完整句子,说明 “直接原因”;回答 why 引导的问句
例:
— Why do you like birthdays?
— Because I can get gifts.
注意:“because” 不能和 “so(所以)” 同时出现在一个句子中
✅ Because it’s rainy, we stay at home.
❌ Because it’s rainy, so we stay at home.
“It’s + 名词 / 形容词 + to do sth.” 句型
含义:“做某事是…… 的”,it 是形式主语,真正主语是后面的 to do sth.
例:
It’s a great idea to plant a tree.(种树是个好主意)
It’s fun to look at the marks.(看这些标记很有趣)
