GEOFF: Alan*，tell me more about the new supermarket. ．
MANAGER：Well, It's bigger than the old one, of course. It's 3000 square metres.
GEOFF: What about the old one?
MANGER: Oh,it was about 1500 square metres. This one's twice as big.
GEOFF: Is it cheaper than the old one?
MANAGER: Oh, yes, it's cheaper and better. And it's more modern... and more convenient than the old one.

第三部分：课程

1．DESCRIBING THIN 描述事物
我们请别人描述一个事物，提问时常常用like这个词。得到的回答往往是It's+形容词，或单用形容词：
What's the new supermarket/it like?
-It's big．
-Big．
也可以用下面这个句型请别入描述事物：
Tell me about the new supermarket. ，
如果想进一步了解情况，就说：
Tell me more about it.
2．DESCRIBING PEOPLE 描述人物
用like提问，请对方提供他人的情况，有两种问法：
a) What's John like?
（通常是指他的性格，但有时也可以指他的外表。）
He's nice.（指性格）
He's slim.（指外表）
b) What does John Look like?（只指他的外表）
He's dark.
其他动词也可以套此句型：
What does it SOUND like?
What does it FEEL like?
What does it TASTE like?
3．COMPARING 比较
It's bigger than the old one.*
It's cheaper than the old one.
It's more modern than the old one.
It's more convenient than the old one.
It's better ** than the old one.
It's twice as big as the old one.
It's three times as big as...
以上所举各例只是比较等级的概概。要知详细内容，请参阅语法书。
*The old one 这里的one用来代替 supermarket。英语里经常用one代替上文提到过的名词。
The new supermarket is big.
The old one was small.
**Better是good的比较级形式，其最高缀形式是best。

PRONUNCIATION CORNER

注意： ’s用作简略式时有两种情况：
She's nice. (’s=is)
She's got fair hair.(’s=has)

语音练习：

What's he like?
What's she like?
这两个问句说得很快时听起来很相似，请注意区别What's he like?中的[s]和What's she like?中的[ʃ]。

广播中尚有下列内容：

1．超级市场：大型商场，出售食品和其他物品。购物时顾客从货架上挑选好要买的东西，然后在出口处交款。 ．
2．Barbara和John：这两人互相谈了对方的特点，你听了以后对他们会有进一步的了解。
3．High和tall的区别：tall用于人；high用于物。
4．Good在不同的上下文有不同的含意：The supermarket's good. （我喜欢这家超级市场，这个地方不错。）
The child's good.（这孩子表现好。）
Good! I've finished!（我为此感到高兴。）
Have a good day.（希望对方痛痛快快地玩一天。）
