D. Five kinds of sentence structure

• Subject (S) • 1. S + V • 主语+谓语 Millie Verb (V) is sleeping. The telephone rang. His father might have died. We all breathe, drink and eat.

注：这种结构中的谓语动词是不及物动词(intransitive verb)，状语 (adverbial)并非结构上不可缺少的成分。但在某种情况下，不加状语便不能表达完整的意思，看看下面的句型：

◇主语 + 谓语 + 状语： The meeting lasted for two hours. We walked for five miles. He lives in Guangzhou. They will fly to London.

Subject (s) Verb (V) Direct object (DO) 2. S + V + DO Mill is reading a book. 主语 + 谓语 + 直接宾语 You may have seen each other. He is doing morning exercises. This factory makes machine tools. Mary has ordered a new dress. I have had my lunch.

注：这种结构中的谓语动词是及物动词，后面只跟一个宾语，因此称单宾及物动词，一般不需状语即可表达完整的意思。但在某些情况下，状语必不可少，看看下面的句型：

◇主语 + 谓语 + 宾语 + 状语 He put the vase on the table. Jim brought his suitcases upstairs. I’ll take Mary to the station. They treated him kindly.

Verb (V) Subject (S) 3. S + V + P Millie is Predictive (P) kind. 主语 + 系动词 + 表语 The plan sounds perfect. This material feels soft. This is where I work.

Indirect Direct object Subject Verb (IO) (DO) (S) 4. S + V + IO + DO Millie (V) gave Amy a book. 主语 + 谓语 + 间接宾语 + 直接宾语 She made herself a new dress. My father bought me a novel. Pass me the salt.

Direct Object Subject Verb Object Complement (S) (V) (DO) (OC) 5. S + V + DO + OC Millie calls her dog Eddie. 主语 + 谓语 + 宾语补足语 We have proved him wrong. She found the child fast asleep. I called him a fool.

划分下列句子的成分 1) Millie 主语 is eating. 谓语 2) Millie 主语 is eating 谓语 a cake. 宾语

3) The cake 主语 4) Lucy 主语 tastes 谓语 delicious. 表语 will buy me a big cake. 谓语直宾间宾

A survey: Teenage problems among us By Wang Jie from Class 5, Grade 9 Now in our class, we have many problems. First, most students have no time for exercise and hobbies. Some students think it difficult to study English. Some students can’t study well because of the noise in the classroom. Some students don’t have close friends and they feel very lonely. And some often quarrel with friends or family members. But the biggest problem is that a lot of students have much homework to do and they also get too many tests and exams. So they don’t have enough time to sleep. All the students hope their parents and teachers can understand them and help them solve these problems.

A generation gap (代沟) has become a serious problem. I read a 1 about it in the newspaper. Some children have killed themselves after quarrels with 2. I think this is because they don’t often have a talk with each other. Parents now 3 more time in the office, 4 they don’t have much time to stay with their children.

Two students started quarreling at school. One student shouted dirty words at the other, and a fight(打架) began. What can be done to stop fights like this at school? In some schools, the disputants (争执者) sit down with peer mediators. Peer mediators are students with special training in this kind of problems. Peer mediators help the disputants to talk in a friendly way. Here are some of the ways they use. 1. Put what you think clearly but don’t say anything to hurt the other. Begin with “I feel…. . ” instead of “You always……. ” 2. Listen carefully to what the other person is saying. Don’t stop the other person’s words. 3. Keep looking at the other person’s eyes when he or she talks. 4. Try to see the other person’s side of the problem. 5. Never put anyone down. Saying things like “You are foolish” makes the talk difficult. 6. Try to find a result that makes both people happy. Peer mediators never decide the results of the winner. They don’t decide who is right and who is wrong. Instead, they help the two students to find their own “win-win” result. A “win-win” result can make everyone feel good. Peer mediators’ work is often successful just because it gets people to talk to each other. And getting people to talk to each other is the first step in finding a “win-win” result.
