چی یاد میگیری
سلام! آمادهای که یه لول بیای بالاتر و مثل یه حرفهای انگلیسی صحبت کنی؟ توی این فصل قراره بریم سراغ اون کلمههای کوچیک اما فوقالعاده تاثیرگذاری که به جملههات شکل و معنای دقیق میدن. حتماً برات پیش اومده که موقع حرف زدن شک کنی بگی another یا the other، یا مثلاً ندونی فرق دقیق بین few و little چیه. توی این درس، قراره یه بار برای همیشه پروندهی آرتیکلها (a, an, the) رو ببندیم تا بدونی کجا جاشونه و کجا نباید بیان.
یاد میگیری چطور از ضمایر انعکاسی مثل myself و themselves استفاده کنی تا بگی یه کاری رو «خودت» یا «به تنهایی» انجام دادی. همچنین با هم یاد میگیریم چطور با استفاده از both، either و neither خیلی شیک بین دو تا گزینه انتخاب کنی؛ مثلاً وقتی با دوستت داری فیلم انتخاب میکنی و میخوای بگی «هیچکدوم رو دوست ندارم!».
از کوانتیفایرهایی مثل much و many گرفته تا تفاوتهای ظریفِ other و others، همه رو با هم تمرین میکنیم. آخر این فصل، دیگه موقع توصیف مقدار چیزها یا اشاره به بقیه، تپق نمیزنی و میتونی با دقت و اعتماد به نفسِ یه زبانآموز سطح متوسط رو به بالا، منظورت رو برسونی. بزن بریم که قراره کلی کیف کنیم!
