　　自学导读

1．Where do you come from? 你是哪国人？

问对方是什么地方人。come from表示来源或籍贯。也可说：Where are you from? 在第7课中出现过类似的句子。

2．What's the climate like in your country? 你们国家的气候怎么样？

句中like是介词，不是动词，它的宾语是 What。又如：What's the weather like in spring? climate指某一地区数年间的天气情况；weather是指某个特定的时间内晴、雨、风、雪变化。对于这类问题的回答可以是 It's very pleasant（很好）或 It rains sometimes（有时下雨）。这里的it均指天气。

3．It's often windy in March. 3月里常常刮风。

表示在某个月份里通常用介词in。类似用in的时间短语课文中还有 in April（在4月），in June（在 6月），in September（在 9月）等等。

often（经常），always（总是，老是），sometimes（有时）都是课文中出现的表示非确定频度的副词。这些副词一般用来回答用how often 提问的问题。

语法 Grammar in use

What…(be. look, etc.) like?

我们把What…like? 这一句型用于询问事物的状况，例如天气、气候等：

What's the weather like today?

今天天气怎么样？

What's it like today?

今天怎么样？

What's the climate like in your country?

你们国家气候怎么样？

或询问人物或事物的外观或特征：

What's your brother like?

你兄弟是个什么样子？

What's your house like?

你的房子是什么样的？

许多形容词可用以回答What…like? 这样的问题，并可根据上下文给以笼统的或确切的信息。例如课文中表示天气或气候的形容词有pleasant（宜人的），windy（有风的），hot（热的），cold（冷的），warm（温暖的）等等。
