在地理課上，老師拿起一個地球儀（globe），向我們說明七大洲的氣候有什麼不同。她說，在某些地區，一旦發生乾旱（drought），農夫的作物就會枯死。在北方的冬天，清晨的空氣寒冷刺骨（frosty），草地上也常常蓋著一層白霜。她還說，內陸地區的大陸性氣候（continental climate）冬冷夏熱，和臺灣的海島型氣候不同。接著，她播放了一段影片，影片中有一座火山（volcano）正冒出濃濃的煙。看完影片後，我們都覺得世界上的每個地方都有自己獨特的風貌，值得好好認識。

In geography class, the teacher picked up a globe and explained how the climate is different on the seven continents. She said that in some areas, farmers' crops die once there is a drought. In the north, winter mornings are frosty, and the grass is often covered with a layer of frost. She also said that the continental climate of inland areas has cold winters and hot summers, unlike the island climate of Taiwan. Then she played a video in which a volcano was giving off thick smoke. After watching the video, we all felt that every place in the world has its own special character and is worth learning about.
在地理課上，老師拿起一個地球儀（globe），向我們說明七大洲的氣候有什麼不同。
In geography class, the teacher picked up a globe and explained how the climate is different on the seven continents.
pick up 是「拿起」。how 引導名詞子句，作 explained 的受詞，子句內用肯定語序（the climate is different）。「七大洲」是 the seven continents，數字後面的 continent 要加 s。
她說，在某些地區，一旦發生乾旱（drought），農夫的作物就會枯死。
She said that in some areas, farmers' crops die once there is a drought.
once 在這裡是連接詞，意思是「一旦…就…」。drought 是可數名詞，a drought 指一次乾旱；farmers' 是複數名詞的所有格（s 後面只加撇號）。說明一般事實時用現在式（die），即使前面是 said that。
在北方的冬天，清晨的空氣寒冷刺骨（frosty），草地上也常常蓋著一層白霜。
In the north, winter mornings are frosty, and the grass is often covered with a layer of frost.
frosty 是形容詞，意思是「結霜般冷的、寒冷刺骨的」；frost 是名詞「霜」。be covered with 是「被…覆蓋」；a layer of 是「一層」。the north 表示「北方」，前面要加 the。
她還說，內陸地區的大陸性氣候（continental climate）冬冷夏熱，和臺灣的海島型氣候不同。
She also said that the continental climate of inland areas has cold winters and hot summers, unlike the island climate of Taiwan.
continental 是形容詞，continental climate 是地理學名詞「大陸性氣候」，與 continent 同字根。unlike + 名詞 表示「和…不同」，放在句尾補充對比。the continental climate… has（單數主詞 climate），不要被後面的 areas 影響而寫成 have。
接著，她播放了一段影片，影片中有一座火山（volcano）正冒出濃濃的煙。
Then she played a video in which a volcano was giving off thick smoke.
in which 引導限定關係子句，修飾 video，相當於 and in it，介系詞 in 要放在 which 前面。give off 是「散發、冒出」，這裡用過去進行式 was giving off，表示影片播放時火山「正在」冒煙。volcano 的複數可寫 volcanoes 或 volcanos。
看完影片後，我們都覺得世界上的每個地方都有自己獨特的風貌，值得好好認識。
After watching the video, we all felt that every place in the world has its own special character and is worth learning about.
After + V-ing 是「…之後」，主詞要與主要子句相同（we）。every place 視為單數，所以用 has、is。be worth + V-ing 是「值得…」（worth 後面接動名詞，不加 to）；learn about 是「認識、了解」。
At first, the climb was easy. A cool breeze blew through the trees, and the damp soil smelled fresh. After two hours, however, the path became steep, and they had to walk along the edge of a cliff. Suddenly, thick clouds covered the mountain, and frost began to form on the grass. Ruby's fingers became so cold that she could hardly hold her water bottle.
"We should stop here," her father said, so they crawled into a small cave and waited. An hour later, the clouds finally broke up, and they climbed the last part of the trail. When they reached the summit, the whole landscape stretched out in front of them. From the peak, Ruby saw a basin full of white mist far below. Her father patted her shoulder and smiled. Ruby wiped her eyes, because she had never felt so proud of herself before.
起初，爬山很輕鬆。涼爽的微風吹過樹林，潮濕的泥土聞起來很清新。然而兩個小時後，山路變得陡峭，他們必須沿著懸崖邊緣行走。突然間，厚厚的雲層籠罩了整座山，草地上開始結霜。露比的手指凍得幾乎握不住水壺。
「我們在這裡停一下吧。」爸爸說，於是他們爬進一個小山洞裡等待。一個小時後，雲終於散開了，他們爬完最後一段山徑。他們抵達山頂時，整片景色在眼前展開。從山巔望去，露比看見遠遠的下方有一個盆地，滿是白茫茫的霧氣。爸爸拍拍她的肩膀，微笑著。露比擦了擦眼睛，因為她從來沒有這麼為自己感到驕傲過。
本題屬於「完成故事型」，要接在給定的開頭後面，把故事寫完整，而且要有起、承、轉、合。起：At first 描寫一開始輕鬆的爬山（微風、潮濕的泥土）。承：After two hours 之後路變陡，沿著懸崖走。轉：Suddenly 天氣驟變、起霧結霜，露比手指凍僵，形成困難；父女躲進山洞。合：一小時後雲散開，他們登上山頂，看見盆地與霧氣，最後以父親的鼓勵和露比的成就感收尾。全文用過去式，並用 At first / After two hours / Suddenly / An hour later / When 等時間連接詞，讓事件的先後順序一目了然。
After two hours, however, the path became steep
however 放在句中，前後各加逗號，表示和前一句「輕鬆」形成轉折，故事從平順走向困難。這種句中插入的 however 比放在句首更自然。
The test was long. The questions, however, were easy.
考試很長，不過題目很簡單。
Suddenly, thick clouds covered the mountain, and frost began to form on the grass
Suddenly 引出突發事件，是故事「轉折」最常用的時間副詞。begin to + 原形動詞 表示「開始…」，過去式 began to form。
Suddenly, the lights went out, and the room became dark.
突然間燈熄了，房間變暗了。
Ruby's fingers became so cold that she could hardly hold her water bottle
so + 形容詞 + that 子句 表示「如此…以致於…」。hardly 是「幾乎不」，本身已有否定意思，不要再加 not。
The soup was so hot that I could not drink it.
那碗湯燙得讓我沒辦法喝。
An hour later, the clouds finally broke up, and they climbed the last part of the trail
An hour later 是「一小時後」，表示故事中的時間經過；finally 強調等了很久之後才發生的事。用過去式敘述事件的先後。
A week later, the package finally arrived.
一個星期後，包裹終於到了。
because she had never felt so proud of herself before
過去完成式 had + p.p. 表示「在故事的那個時間點之前」的經驗：露比在這一刻之前從未這麼驕傲。其他事件（擦眼睛）用過去式，兩種時態形成先後對比。
He was nervous because he had never flown before.
他很緊張，因為他以前從沒搭過飛機。
in which a volcano was giving off thick smoke
介系詞 + which 引導的關係子句，修飾前面的 video，in which 相當於 and in it。介系詞要放在 which 前面，這是比較正式的寫法。
This is the room in which we study every day.
這就是我們每天讀書的房間。
