Next Saturday is my birthday. I know you come (1) to my birthday party. I am very glad. let (2) me tell you the way to my house. You can take No. 2 bus to the People's Park. Then you go along the Bridge Street to the end and turn left. You are on the Green Street. Walk on and you can seeing (3) a big building on the right. It's a bank. My house is just across from the bank. It is next to a market. There are two big trees in the front of (4) my house. You can see it easily.
There be句型用于表示 “某地存在某物或某人”,其结构为There is / are+名词+地点状语。There在句子当中不充当任何成分,翻译时也不必译出。句子的主语是句子中表示某人或某物的名词,be要与主语的数保持一致,当主语是两个或两个以上的名词时,谓语动词要与它最近的名词一致。
如:There is a boy in the classroom. 班级里有一个男孩。
There is a pen and two pencils in the pencil case. = There are two pencils and a pen in the pencil case. 在文具盒里有一支钢笔和两支铅笔。
There be句型的否定句要在be后加上not。如:There isn't an orange in her bag.在她的包里没有橘子。
There be句型的一般疑问句变化只需要把be动词移到句子开头,然后再在句尾加上问号即可。如:Is there any money in her handbag? 在她的手提包里有钱吗?
了解与掌握了本单元的写作重点和重要句型后,我们还要进一步了解相关词语与好的句子。
重点词语:clean, dirty, new, old, quiet, busy, big, small, library, bank, supermarket, center, bridge, park, post office, restaurant, street, hotel, pay phone, left, right, across from, next to, at, in, on, behind, through, in front of, between ... and ..., near
好句待用:
--- Is there a hospital near here?
--- Yes, there is. It's on Center Street.
The pay phone is across from / next to / in front of / behind the library.
The pay phone is between the post office and the library.
The pay phone is on Green Street.
Just go straight and turn left. It's down Bridge Street on the right.
(4)in the front of应去掉the。in the front of表示 “在……的前面”(在某个范围内的前面,指在物体内部的前面,在前部),in front of表示“在……的前面”(在某个范围外的前面,在前面,指在物体外部的前面),结合语境,没有the的词组更为恰当。

It is next to a market. There are two big trees in front of my house.
Welcome to my house. Please come to my party early.
