M: I'm watching the news, Linda. Why don't you join me and watch it too?

F: The news is boring. It's always the same thing.

M: You should know what's going on in the world. There's always the possibility that things could affect you.

F: I like things that are more active, more creative and more entertaining.

M: If you watched the news regularly, you would find it very informative.

F: Well, if you want me to watch the news with you, can we change to Channel 7?

二.以-TIVE 和 -SIVE 结尾的形容词

首先我们练习一些以 t-i-v-e 结尾的形容词. 这些形容词都是从动词演变来的.

练习的作法是由男老师念动词, 然后女老师把这个动词演变成的形容词念出 来, 接着男老师用那个形容词作句子, 女老师就照样重复一遍. 下面就是一个 例子.

M: act

F: active

M: Reporters are active in gathering news.

F: Reporters are active in gathering news.

这组练习里的句子都是说到电视记者的工作, 比方新闻界竞争激烈, 记者们忙 着跑新闻, 尽量把消息告诉观众, 希望作到消息又新又快; 他们必须要文笔好 又得知道观众的喜好,因为他们知道观众可以自由选择节目, 不受欢迎的节目 就会被淘汰等等. 现在请你注意听, 并且跟女老师一起把句子重复一遍.
