神秘的“小小替身”
魔法定义:“替身”it 的使命
When the subject of a sentence is a long infinitive expression, we usually start the sentence withe the empty subject it and put the infinitive expression at the end.
Task 1 The definition of an empty subject
当真正的主语(不定式 to do)太长时,把形式主语(it)放在句首当“替身”,把长主语放到句尾,避免头重脚轻,使句子更平衡!
长的不定式表达
Dear Susu, I’m sorry to hear that. There are more and more people on this planet, and this is harming the environment. To survive is not easy for many animal species. I once watched
a video about illegal hunting. In the video, some hunters killed a tiger. To do so was very
cruel of them. What is worse, those people also make a lot of money from this. I think to sell products made from animals in danger is wrong of them .
To protect nature is important for us. My friend and I have joined a local
environmental group. This weekend, we will collect money for a wildlife charity. My uncle has offered to drive us to the event. To help is very kind of him!
I got a letter from a student of you but it’s too difficult for me to understand. Can you help me to change some of the sentences?
