Thanks for your last e-mail.谢谢你的上封邮件。

You want to know how I get to school, right? 你想知道我是怎么去上学的,对吧?
★句中的how I get to school是宾语从句,因此必须用陈述句语序,如:
Can you tell me how old you are? 你能告诉你多大了吗?(注意:不能写成how old are you)
BACK
The school bus usually comes at about 8:15. 校车大约8点一刻来。
本句的comes说明作者说话的地点是在家,表示come to my house之意;句中的comes相当于arrives; about表示“大约,大概”,亦可用around来替换。
BACK
My school is about 20 kilometers from my home. 学校距我家大约20千米。
这是一个常见的表示距离的句型:主语(地点名词)+ be + 数字 + kilometers(表示距离)+ from… ( to…)。
My home is about ten kilometers to the farm. 我家距农场大约10千米。
还可使用“时间名词所有格形式+交通方式”的方法表示距离,如:
His school is about five minutes’ walk from here.他的学校离这里有大约五分钟步行的路程。
