　　 (1)ask sb. about sth. 意思是“询问或打听某人某事”

　　 eg: I’d like to ask Mr Green about my son’s study.

　　 我想问一下格林先生我儿子学习的情况。

　　 ask的其他词组：ask sb. to do sth. 叫/要求某人做某事

　　 ask sb. for sth. 向某人要某物

　　 (2)many在本句中是代词，意思是“许多人”，在这里等于many students.

　　 eg: There are many who can speak two languages there.

　　 在那儿有许多人会说两种语言。

　　 How many are going to help us?

　　 有几个人会帮我们忙呢？

　　 (3)“memorizing the words of pop songs”，也可以改为用动词不定式作主语，即“to memorize the words of pop songs”

　　 eg: Watching TV too much is bad for your eyes.

　　 = To watch TV too much is bad for your eyes.

　　 = It’s bad for your eyes to watch TV too much.

　　 (4)He’s been learning English for six years and really loves it.

　　 他已经学了六年英语了，他的确很喜爱它。

　　 本句的时态是现在完成进行时：have / has + been + v-ing.

　　 A. because 是连词，意思是“因为…(所以…)”，“因为”。

　　 eg:

　　 How do you learn best?

　　 This week we asked students at New Star High School about the best ways to learn more English. Many said they learnt by using English. Some students had more specific suggestions. Lillian Li, for example, said the best way to learn new words was by reading English magazines. She said that memorizing the words of pop songs also helped a little. When we asked about studying grammar, she said, “I never study grammar. It’s too boring.”

　　 Wei Ming feels differently. He’s been learning English for six years and really loves it. He thinks studying grammar is a great way to learn a language. He also thinks that watching English movies isn’t a bad way because he can watch the actors say the words. Sometimes, however, he finds watching movies frustrating because the people speak too quickly.

　　 Liu Chang said that joining the English club at school was the best way to improve her English. Students get lots of practice and they also have fun. She added that having conversations with friends was not helpful at all. “We get excited about something and then end up speaking in Chinese, ”she said.

3. I do too = I also think it helps.

　　 我也认为它有帮助。
