Its snowy (cloudy, rainy, sunny, windy.). 下雪(多云、下雨、晴、有风)3. although this year it snowed a lot. 虽然今年下了很多雪。 although = thought conj. 然而; 尽管 引导的让步状语从句不能与 but, however 连用, 但可与 yet, still 连用。如： 1) 虽然他很累，但他一直在工作。 Although/Though he was tired, he continued working. 2) 尽管他很忙，但是还常常帮我学英语。 He often helps me with my English although/though he is quite busy.4. Me neither.

I wish I were in Australia now. wish可用作动词，意为“愿意；希望”，常用结构为：(1) wish to do sth.表示“希望做某事；想做某事”。如： I wish to go on a trip to Beijing.(2) wish sb. / sth.+ adj.表示“希望某人 / 某物如何”。如： I wish you healthy.(3) wish sb. + n. 表示“祝愿某人如何”。如： I wish you a long life.(4) wish + that从句，此时从句中的谓语多由would 或could 构成，表示几乎无法实现的愿望，意为“希望；但愿”。如： I wish you would go with me. 【运用】根据汉语意思完成英语句子，每空一词。(1) 他们祝我们好运。They _ us _ _.(2) 我希望待在这里。I _ _ _ here. (3) 祝你快乐。I _ you _.(4) 我真希望能和你一起去那里。I wish that I _ _ _ with you.6.

Its probably sunny and hot there. 那里的天气可能晴朗、热。probably adv. 大概；或许；很可能英语中表示可能的方式有：通过will以及表示“可能”的形容词和副词表达, 常用的有：It is possible to do sth. ., It is possible that , 主语 + will probably / possibly + v.等。如：Is it possible to visit Alaska in December? 十二月去阿拉斯加游览有可能吗？It is possible that itll be snowy in the night. 晚上有可能会下雪。Itll probably be cold and wet天气很可能会又湿又冷。probably 表示“很可能”，所以表示的可能性要比possible 大。8. Come on, better get going! 好了，走吧！Better get going 相当于had better go now, 意思是“最好现在去/ 走”。如：Wed better get going (= Wed better go now ) , or well be late. 我们最好现在就走，不然要迟到了。Step 6 Complete the passage.1.

Might I have a cup of coffee? I asked her if I might call and see her. You may leave at any time. You may use the room if you keep it clean.二、表示推测 may和might都可以用来表示推测，意为“也许；可能”。它们的否定形式分别是may not和might not。如： I think David may be at school. That woman may not be Marks mother. How long might the travel take? Susan might not return tomorrow.注意： may和might 表推测时，may比might 表示的可能性要大一些；而might 使说话的语气更加委婉，表示实现的可能性比较小。【运用】根据括号内所给提示将下列汉语句子翻译成英语。 1. 这块手表不是你的。它可能是谁的呢？(may) The watch isnt yours. Whose may it be? 2. 爸爸也许知道如何发动那台机器。 (might) Dad might know how to start that machine. 3. 明天我可以和你一起吃早饭吗？ (may) May I have breakfast with you tomorrow?4. 他可能及时赶到了那儿，但我不确定。 (might) He might get there in time, but I am not sure.Step 8 Pronunciation and speaking1.
