表示状态的形容词

那对在美国教堂的英国老夫妇总说：Sleep tight 睡个好觉。tight 意思：

通常用系动词 be 或其他感官动词 sound, see, look, hear, listen, smell, feel, taste 等 带出。

       母语教学的特点

    拿学校英语课听写来说，放录音三遍顶多四遍，就让你写出或复述大意，很多孩子跟不上。而母亲从不为此设限，假如孩子需要重放“录音”10遍，母亲就说20遍、30遍，尽管管够。如同喂奶，母亲明明知道孩子的胃口饭量，但是母亲的本能总是自然流露体现，希望自己的孩子多吃一口，长得更快些、更高些、更强些，足以令母亲傲视邻里。

    再拿英语口语课来说，老师给你五分钟准备，就让你说出一大篇东西，令大多数学生勉为其难。母亲则不这样，她总是
