It will get warm at the North Pole so the seas will be very rough. 北极会变暖, 因此海上风浪会很大。句中的get warm意为“变暖”，其中get为系动词，意为“变得；成为”，warm为形容词作表语。 e.g. The teacher gets angry. 老师变得很生气。,请将下列汉语句子翻译成英语。 (1) 天气变得越来越冷。(2) 白天将会变短，夜晚将会变长。,The days will get short, and the nights will get long.,Its getting colder and colder.,3. But there will be bad weather in spring and autumn.观察句子，归纳weather与climate的区别 There will be bad weather in spring and autumn. 春天和秋天的天气会很坏。 B.

They have got a comfortable _ there. 2. We are going to play the match tomorrow if the _ is fine.,climate,weather,4. There will be heavy rain and strong winds. 在heavy rain中, heavy并非表示“重”, 而表示“巨大的, 厉害的, 严重的”，因此heavy rain就可以翻译成“大雨；暴雨”。 heavy的副词形式为heavily, 意为“厉害地, 严重地, 很多地”。,5. so they will be very comfortable. comfortable adj. 舒适的；舒服的；反义词为uncomfortable, 为“不舒服的”。un-为否定前缀。 e.g. fair 公平的， unfair 不公平的,例如： Homes will be warm in winter and cool in summer, so theyll be very comfortable. 家里将会冬暖夏凉，所以它们将是令人舒适的。 I am a little shy. I often feel uncomfortable when I talk to strangers. 我有点害羞。当我和陌生人说话时，我经常感觉不舒服。,请仿照comfortableuncomfortable的构词法写出下列单词的反义词，并注明词义。 1. happy ( ) 2. lucky ( ) 3. friendly ( ) 4. important ( ),unimportant 不重要的,unhappy 不高兴的,unlucky 不幸的,unfriendly 不友好的,6. Well use the sun to heat our homes. 我们利用太阳能为住宅供暖。heat 在此句中用作动词， “加热，(使)变热”。 e.g. Well heat some milk for the coffee.heat还可以作名词，表示“热，高温，炎热的天气“。 e.g. The heat from the fire can dry our clothes.,
